I’m just curious about how people feel about this meta and enjoyment of the game in general.

Enjoying it, in small doses. It seems the game rewards idiotic play as another commentor said. You can pick anyone and just play like you're Tyson. I see people pick GSP doing this all the time. I personally do okay handling it most of the time, but still notice it's effective for a lot of people. I just fought a Holly Holm who in 3 rounds threw over 350 strikes, and still had stamina with some snap to her punches. Literally just threw non stop the entire fight.

Ultimate Team is just straight up trash IMO. Although I'm biased because I'm vehemently against anything remotely p2w, but having said that, even I invested a bit in UFC 2's UT mode, and felt it was pretty well done. Creating your own team was cool, now you just play with shittier version of the actual roster, and then the chemistry mechanic. I didn't play much of it at all the whole thing just felt weird and like they tried to do too much with it.
