This is basically the same game as the last three, but I try these every time they drop to see if the career mode has been fixed up so it doesn't fall off a cliff halfway through. There's always this moment at the mid-point, where your fighter becomes a double champ and you've maxed all your stats, and you're just too strong for everyone in the division. Round 1 knockouts are a given, so you actively try and go easy on your poor victim before they get laid out, and you're basically just handed 50-year-old variants of Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson to smack the shit out of and continue your 40-0 record.
And EVERY YEAR the end of the campaign is still just inherently bad after you become double champ. I realised after battering Islam for the 9th time in a row that they've just left everything as it was. The same terrible rivalry system that means nothing. The same awful social media mechanic where you can't just call out that one fighter you want to challenge. The same lifeless tweets where JuiJitsubabyxxx says that you have a weak chin even though you haven't even been rocked once.
The whole thing needs an overhaul with more events and fun stuff to do towards the end of your career. Hell, drop all my stats when I age. If Cowboy can spend his last years in the UFC getting eviscerated by anyone and everyone, let me become an old man who gets KO'd in one minute. HUMBLE ME, EA. PLEASE.
