MMA Manager 2: Ultimate Fight 12+

Time consuming but enjoyable

Don’t think this is a game you can consistently play all day every day. Once you first get to two stars the game opens up slowly, but at three stars the game is yours. I enjoy techniques being learned with stats being upgraded, like you learn a hook at 50 points into punching. It’s enjoyable and let’s you design fighters how you want. You want to scrap? You want to slam and pound them into the ground? You want to grapple and throw knees? How will you design your fighter? Enjoy and make sure to start with a different fighter in each different weight class.

Balance issues

I feel like the game quiet obviously prefers offense over defense. My two weakest fighters are purely offensive but easily have the most consistent win rates. My strongest fighter is a grabbler/defensive fighter and half the time his defense is ignored and the other half his grabbling skills are ignored. He’s literally useless and thats so frustrating, since i spent so much time/credits for him to be a beast and after all that upgrading he’s like a joke. I feel like thats the definition of unbalanced. My weakest fighter literally only knows how to punch and to punch hard and bodies everything. He’s a level 4 and my strongest fighter is on his way to be level 7. Please fix this so this can be a better game. May i add my grappler has a 500 takedown and can barley hit one, meanwhile my weakest offensive fighter has a 400 something punch, and doesn’t really miss punches. Same issue with my 300 submission on the grappler, the ground game is particularly terrible and n e e d s a buff, but defense too. The rest of the game is good tho.

FRAUD ALERT

This game displays data in a way that is deliberately misleading. It has a VIP system that has quality of life improvements at higher levels. Purchases are needed to get enough points for each level, and the VIP progress bar shows 20 points are needed. When you scroll through the benefits of each level it shows the same progress bar, leading you to believe it is 20 points for each level. I wanted to get VIP level 2 for auto training, and bought the 5 dollar starter pack which gives 60 points. After the purchase the VIP progress bar changes, so the 20 points got me to VIP 1 but not VIP 2, I would need to spend another 10 dollars for that. Purposefully dubious business practice as there is no way of knowing how much you need to spend to get specific VIP levels, you can’t even see the requirements until you reach the next level. I requested a refund through the app store and submitted a ticket to the games support. I strongly advise against playing this game let alone spending money on it.
