They are still there but there is a greater variety and certain fighters have more than one.

@aholbert32,

Can you say if we can choose from a select set of animations in career mode? For example, different walkout animations, different taunt animations, or different stances based off fights style templates?

Cant go into detail yet but there is something like that in the CAF system.

My hope is that with each fighter having specific skill sets it will lead gamers to play with different guys online. I hate playing against the same fighters all the time. Does OS have a tight knit UFC community?

I doubt it. One thing that I realized from talking to some hardcore online gamers and spending more time on the UFC forums is that the only goal is winning. People talk about wanting to use more fighters but when it comes down to it people will likely use the same top fighters because it puts the best position to win.

I'm hoping that because the game is much improved, I expect more people will buy UFC 2 and that will result in more people on OS playing online. I think a sim minded community and an improved game will be great.

@aholbert32,

Do you know when they might announce more info on the career mode?

No idea but we have 7 weeks before release so we have a bit of time. I know that they have a deep dive coming regarding the new grappling system. I'd guess that they will wait until after the beta to drop the rest of the news.

That's a shame. I remember back to the UFC 09 days and Pappy and I (Phobia, too) would make a point to always use different fighters in all of the weight classes. Drew McFredries wound up being a fun guy to use ... until he got taken down, lol.

This post is one of the reasons I stopped online gaming several years ago.
