You Can Make Custom Fighters in EA Sports UFC, But you Can’t Share Them

March 31, 2014 by Josiah Renaudin

A sea of copyright concerns make the actual sharing of custom fighters too risky to include in EA Sports UFC.

In EA Sports UFC, you’ll have the ability to customize a character from the ground up and test his or her skills inside the Octagon. However, you won’t be able to share you creations online, creative director Brian Hayes said in an interview with MMAjunkie.

Why? Unfortunately, there are just too many copyright issues to wade through.

"Nowadays, when people can make YouTube clips and share them, there's this whole gray area where if our game allows users to make a Rocky character that's the intellectual property of somebody else, it causes a ton of problems," Hayes said, even though the team loves this feature. "There is a Create-A-Fighter, and you could create you own [sic] Rocky, but when we are facilitating the sharing of content, it gets very difficult."

People were making unlicensed fighters in EA’s last MMA product, and that led to just too many problems to make the feature worth it.

EA Sports UFC will be arriving this spring, but don’t expect to actually get your hands on the game until June at the earliest.
