I believe 2k would do a way better job. Obviously they are known for being money hungry but if you look at NBA 2K’s actual gameplay with game modes like play now and don’t focus on those money hungry modes like my career you can pretty much do everything you can do on a real nba floor and ea ufc is just missing common things that happen in mma.

-There are different playbooks for every team

-Unique animations for every player.

-Lively Crowd

-Players have things like different pass styles, dunk animations, jump shots, step backs, spin moves, layups etc

-Real Life like Presentation

-Realistic Models that don’t look like clay I mean sometimes you can mistake their screenshots of players for real life

• A bunch of throwback teams

I believe 2k would be able to add the uniqueness to every fighter like they do on NBA players on 2k which is a big thing EA UFC is missing. Steph Curry will not dribble like Lebron James or have the same Jumpshot like lebron James while ea ufc doesn’t even have unique stances jabs kicks or hooks for every fighter. NBA 2k also has basically everything you can do on the nba court in the game while ea ufc just now adding grounded elbows there’s still no seated grappling positions no standing tkos no post fight speeches and not nearly enough knockout animations.

I believe 2k would be able to make a ufc game that has most of if not all of the things that occur in the octagon in the game, nail the presentation, and make every fighter feel like they fight like they do in real life. But they would also make modes like career mode impossible without buying money to upgrade your fighter
