You’ll also need to watch out for injury during training, as these have an adverse affect on your fighter’s attributes and can tie into your career longevity.Īll fighters have a limited career time and in UFC 2 that is determined by the amount of fans you have and the condition of your body. For example, the gym could be closed for the week due to renovations meaning you only have two training slots instead of three. In EA’s first UFC game, the career mode got stale very quickly, but situations arise to keep you on your toes in UFC 2. The higher the score the better the attribute increase. Training consists of completing what are essentially mini games designed to improve your own skills, be they learning to defend against submissions or placing strikes. You will then get to take part in a training camp to prepare for the fight. The majority of the time you can pick your opponent, but you won’t always get a choice is a more established name appears on your radar.

Should you get past this stage, you’ll begin near the bottom of the rankings for your selected weight class. The winner of the fight advances while the loser is knocked out of the competition. Two big UFC names coach a team each season, with members of those teams facing off against. The career kicks off with you taking part in The Ultimate Fighter, a rendition of the real world reality TV series where fighters from around the world train and compete with each other to earn a UFC contract. This choice determines how the attribute points are spread, with a Tae Kwon Do fighter having a strong stand up compared to a freestyle wrestler who is better in the clinch and taking the fight to the ground. Personally I chose Taw Kwon Do since it is a sport I have a background in, so felt comfortable with the style. Then you choose the fighter style with the options being Tae Kwon Do, Boxer, Freestyle Wrestler, Greco-Roman, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Judo, Karate, Kickboxer, or Mixed Martial Artist. Here you’ll create a custom fighter and decide everything from how they look to which weight they’ll fight in – women are limited to bantamweight. The basics figured out, it’s best to head onto the career mode so you can get to grips with how UFC 2 works, and learn the more advanced moves.
