The EA Sports Game Looks Awesome, But Are You in the Market For Another MMA Video Game?

I will buy it. I was happy with the UFC game but definitely interested in what EA has to offer in comparison. It is definitely a novelty to use your favorite athletes in any sport game. Plus the whole UFC monopoly on the market thing will make this game feel "taboo" to play. I'll get a buzz playing this game the same way as I used to get a buzz as a kid when i'd find hidden porn stashes in the house when I was home sick from school. TMI?

It doesn't look to be anything spectacular. If EA is expecting me to shell out $60 so I can use Couture, Emelianenko, and Mayhem in a game that doesn't look much, if any, better than Undisputed, they're insane, especially since by the time they release it, it'll be a couple more months before the next UFC: Undisputed is released.

It all comes down to gameplay.

Honestly, this game doesnt look the least bit impressive. It looks like shit to be honest with you and I might rent it for a day but thats it. They have such a small ass roster and there is no way it will be better than the UFC game. Nice try EA, but you should probably stick to Fight Night.

Just re-watched the ad. Theres no way Fedor would miss that take down or clinch sloppy enough to eat a knee to the face. Haha.

Anyway, with the MMA title it better deliver something educational.

Yeah I agree. UFC Undisputed may not have been perfect, but it was pretty good. The technical aspects of the game were very good, and I doubt they could be improved on in any significant way. Sure a few little things here and there, but overall, Undisputed was a pretty solid effort.

EA's MMA will be decent I'm sure, maybe even the equal of Undisputed as far as gameplay goes but I don't think there is any way it can be a vastly superior game. Graphically it looks alright, a little dark, a little muddy, pretty accurate models from what I can see, but again, the best it can do I think, realistically, is match Undisputed in this sense. The roster for EA's MMA is the biggest problem, their stable is just not deep enough. All things being equal graphically and gameplay wise (I'm just assuming, this may be an overestimation but I will give them the benefit of the doubt) their roster just can't stand up to UFC's Undisputed.

Undisputed could kill this game right now by releasing a free update that included a handful of new fighters (Little Nog, etc) and updated records, as well as a few bug fixes. Although if MMA comes out priced like Undisputed, they're not going to have to kill it, they can just let it die.

EA MMA has to recognize this and price their game accordingly. Undercut Undipsuted by $20 and hook me up with one of Fedor's RCVA bad ass T-Shirts and maybe we've got a deal.

Nice^. Ill buy it full priced if I get the infamous sweater though.

I'm a loser with a PS2 - why can't they include PS2 into their available platforms?

What's a ps2?

Eh, I'll buy it to compare the two really. I'm curious with EA's attempt at MMA. Cheers to all

Cocky, you can buy refurbished Xbox 360's for about 140 bucks, more or less. Trade in your ps2 and games to GameStop and you only pay like 70 bucks for the 360. Do it so you arent stuck in the 90s bro. Same probably goes with PS3 but those would be more expensive.

I work at a video game retailer so i can say this, EA is a marketing juggernaught, they are a well known brand, and if they push it right people will get it just because its an EA product.

But im also surprised i haven't seen anything in the way of promo's or pre order date for the game, not to mention cbs bought Gamestop tv so I'm kind of surprised they haven't advertised at all or even mentioned it. I mean they are advertising a game that comes out in 2011 already

At the end of the day EA make a good sports game I guide you to fight night round 3. It's not the most stunning or eyecatching game out there but by God it's an MMA game & it shows how far MMA has come if nothing else. Needless to say Im skint & won't be able to afford the £40+ pricelabel but I will buy it despite reviews. I forked out for UFC because it was an MMA game when I first clocked eyes on a ps2 version, I was sorely dissapointed by the gameplay I enjoyed the 360 version however for a full careers worth then got sick and tired of Nate fucking Diaz being the only man in the game who I couldn't beat in wrestling (WHAT THE SHIT!?)

I'm looking forward to this games gameplay because EA have a knack of making a sports game with easy controls enjoyable for several play throughs. Who knows? Some other people might like it too! (God forbid!)

I am DEFINITELY in the market for ANOTHER MMA game. Undisputed was a hastily thrown together piece of crap, it had decent gameplay with good graphics, so of course people loved it. Just wait until EA shows THQ how it is done.

Oh yea Modern Warfare 2 tomorrow. Fuck yeah.

Was it just me it or did the graphics look pretty pixelated. And who in the hell is even going to even compete with fedor on the game? His stats are probably going to be +20 over everyone else. And is overeem included in the roster? Honestly the heavyweights are the only class with remotely any competetion especially if couture is only in heavyweights instead of lhw also.

Undisputed was basically a beefy demo. If they actually flesh it out this year, especially the career mode and commentary, it could be a solid title. I wasn't a fan of subs in the game, unrealistic and basically random so hopefully that gets fixed somehow.

I'm not a fan of EA even though I'm a slave to Madden but sometimes they actually try and make good games.

My biggest beef with Undisputed and the reason it fell off with me was the quitters online. I was tired of smashing foo's only to have it not count, meanwhile I was always taking my losses. If EA prevents that from happening then that alone will make it a better game for me.
