They didn't really take it out, they got the license and made a new game, pride mode was never going to make it into the first new game. The free content they put out has been great, no paid for characters beyond the preorder ones and 10 free fighters. It's not like they made a undisputed 4 and strip it of things so it was inline with the new game they did.

Bullshit, EA basically made the same game without the stuff THQ got right.

Pride mode was the best part of the last game and taking it out for some shitty midget divisions and a few bitches doesn't make up for it.

lmao, sure they did, but what they actually did is modify the FN engine for striking and did a attempt at doing thq ground game and a bit differently. Either way they had to start over as they didn't get any of the thq/yukes assets. if you think otherwise, I find it very funny

and the assets of a old game they did use was EA MMA, which has been clearly stated by part of the dev team.

Honestly, I don't care.

But still, EA UFC engine didn't seem very different from the THQ engine, since it's not at all as fluid as Fight Night was. All they added was some more animations and some fancy kicks. It's still the same shit as the last game, but with a more annoying sub system.

Also, NO PRIDE MODE.....it's not some create a shit missing, it was the most enjoyable part of the game and they took it out, also took out most of the modes, and you defend this?

This is pretty much like the 2K game, updated graphics, more mo caps, but they didn't take out the Royal Rumble mode.

No Mercy or Here Come the Pain. Controls and storywise nothing has held up since. Agree with deezy it's the same game with minor tweaks everytime.

I'm not defending removing a mode because they never had the mode, lol, I am not a fan of EA but I am not going to fault them for something they didn't do. What they didn't follow up on that EA MMA did so well and angered a lot of people was not putting in group lobbies/fight cards and full fight replays for online fights.

But again, EA Canada, the team behind fight night, made EA UFC and they had no assets from thq/yukes so they never had and therefore didn't remove pride, championship mode, etc. They did severely lack offline modes, and other things but if you are going to understand a transition year for 2k, then you have to give the same to EA and unlike EA, 2k didn't build a new game, they did have the past assets and just modified and updated them.

Also you can't compared a match type, to a full fledge different mode like pride; from different lighting, announcing, rule set/move set, and most important a completely different arena type with a ring rather than a cage. They didn't have to make a new anything for a match type in wwe 2k15 lol.

Anyway, you are going to believe what ever you want, a better comparison would have been if EA made their new ea ufc and put out a undisputed 4 and then took out pride and etc modes to match their new game because they couldn't redo it and make it better on the new one, which is what 2k did here.

I stopped readin' when it said I should create Ambrose and Rollins new attire.

The best thing they could ever add to this game is the 2k updates like they do with NBA 2k where they update the roster if someone is added or an some sort of attire change. That would be huge for a wrestling game and they have no excuse not to do it.

It gives you the option of fixing it yourself....what's the beef?

They were too lazy to even charge me for it.

No man, there's every excuse not to do that. There's a big difference between scanning someone's face and slapping it on some easy body that's mostly covered by a jersey than the amount of detail that goes into each superstar on the roster. It's a little bit of a different beast, even if it's under the same umbrella. We're talking a BIG difference in the amount of money they'd be dropping.
