Custom banners and custom mouth guards in this year?
While you can’t customize your own banner for the Create a Fighter mode, you can do it for the online fight camps. Sorry, there are no custom mouth guards in this game. There is a large selection of cool mouth guards that you can select for your fighters.
Can u put Ecko designs on your CAF shorts? Lots of UFC fighters wear Ecko, but was not in 09
Yes, Ecko is in the game as an official sponsor to the fighters, and is featured in CAF.
Are sponsors in career mode still unlocked randomly based on rank/cred, and is cred still the career currency?
Cred is back in the game, but is now accompanied by “Popularity”. Both play a role in your fighter’s progression, including what sponsors you unlock. Another difference in this year’s game is that sponsors are now unlocked in tiers. Where as last year some sponsors like TapouT couldn’t be unlocked until very far into the game, this year we let you unlock all of the sponsors much earlier. However, you won’t have access to all of their items and logos right away. You have to earn the higher prestige gear through your performance, your cred, your popularity, etc…
Is there a function to tweak specific areas such as arm size, leg size, and weight?
No, not in this game.
CAFs have access to special signature moves now (pretty sure confirmed) and with that believe it was said certain moves are fighter specific where CAFs won’t have them, are certain ones only open to CAFs?
There aren’t any CAF specific special moves that the pros don’t have access to. Actually, the opposite is true. For instance, if you wanted Gabriel Gonzaga’s head kick, we make that available to you in Create a Fighter… but we don’t allow ALL of the pro signature moves to be available in CAF, just some of them.
Any cap on the amount of CAFs you can make?
There is a limit, it’s just absurdly high… I think it’s a hundred fighters. It’s the same limit that we had in place last year. If we find a good enough reason to raise that limit, we will… but it doesn’t seem like there’s been that need just yet.
Will it be harder this year to bring your opponent to the ground? Last year you couldn’t block throw attempts, only reverse no matter how high your defensive stats were.
With the newly unified rules set of the clinch and the ground, throws can now be blocked as well as reversed. Throws could be reversed last year, but this year it’s no longer the 25% guessing game that it was. You can now defend throws in a much more simple way from a gameplay perspective, which is to block them, just as you would block a transition. Your defensive stats have always mattered and will continue to matter with this.
Can different weight classes fight? Lesnar vs. Penn anyone?
In career mode you have opportunities to move up or down in weight class but other than that, no. We’re still as real as it gets. Until Brock Lesnar and BJ Penn fight in real life, they won’t fight in our game.
