Found a pretty serious problem in career mode. Simming training sessions does not provide enough fitness to get the player to peak fitness by the time training camp ends. It's really annoying going into every fight with debuffs to cardio and recovery.

This can't be intentional, right? Simming these training sessions was advertised as a feature in their game modes deep dive, so surely they wouldn't punish you for using it?

I feel like this has been the least amount of iterative change ever between the EA UFC titles (for career mode). The sheer lack of changes makes me wonder if somehow the change to Frostbite actually took up most of their resources. As EA themselves often note, Career mode is the most played mode. So why didn't they try and update it in any meaningful way. My main issues with career mode are as follows: - The single addition, simming training, doesn't work consistently. Sometimes things show up as having been simmed and sometimes it doesn't. - It's somehow extremely difficult to reach peak condition even with a 6 week training camp. And when you do you're usually just on the cusp of moderate health. Considering I've done several camps where all I do is train, I don't see how I could ever reach overtraining. - Training partners are once again are all terrible sparring partners, out to hurt you and often more aggressive than the real fight itself. It's the same issue as UFC 4 but apparently I'm supposed to put up with this for 3 more years?! - All fighters, and I mean ALL, rely on a super weird running punch animation that is somehow the quickest animation in the game? It's weird to be controlling distance and then for the opponent to skate across the floor in record time and land a hook. - The lack of at least showing you move up the fight card or to even show a full entrance (you always start out already in the ring) means you never feel like you're rising up the ranks. - The commentary doesn't even talk about your place in the rankings, fight streak or anything else past what was already in UFC 4. Overall, this game is poor and not worth buying. I'll wait for Undisputed to drop their career mode instead.

I stand slightly corrected here. There are walk outs, but only when you're challenging for the title.

So my final review about this game:
I'm not gonna lie, it has a lot of potential to be the best EA UFC game but they need to fix things.
We don't get to know the flows until we play against exploiters and spammers so that's what I noticed in ranked fights

1- Stamina is to forgiving and the bar is raising as fast as hell

2- the block bar doesn't recover as fast as the stamina bar and is depleting with like 2 jabs

3- as much the game is more responsive, some commands are not, mid kicks are more delayed than uf4 and with a bad hit detection, a lot of times we get stuck when we try to say after a strike in the block.

4 footwork changes didn't change nothing so over aggressive players are just running through your block

5- the game hit detection overall is bad... a lot of strikes are connecting and doing nothing.


.
I really liked the new cross animations, the speed of gnp and the sub system that in my point of view should be how the ground game should work, but the game needs a correction patch, nothing new since it is always needed

Any thoughts on which console version may be better? PS5 or Xbox?

I hate ****ing EA and Im done with this ****ing franchise. Its so ****ing bad that I really dont what to say? Spammers delight??????????????!!!!!!!!!! **** EA!!!!!!!!!!!!

there's a problem in the block bar and in the stamina, also headmovement is kinda unresponsive after a blocked strike... I noticed that moving isolated kicks to the body are paper... the opponent can strike through it
