Good job spam filter. Fine. I don’t want to post anyway.

I play on XBox 360, but I’m reluctant to give out the gamertag I share with my 13-year-old son as I don’t want him being called a Weezer glasses-wearing mohawk wearing pussy.

He’s already banned from reading the site.

Honestly though, while this video seems a little ambitious for EA’s first MMA game, it still kicks the shit out of UFC Undisputed. The character lists aren’t as bad as I thought they would be too. You can fight as BAS! like jesus. A fight with Bas vs. Couture alone is worth it.

Guess what else? Apparently you can create characters and let other people download the ones you made. So in a matter of a week the entire UFC roster will be on here as well. Making this game 10x better than THQ’s hurting attempt(S) ever were. There’s a lot of nerds out there who will perfectly create everyone from BJ Penn to Chuck Liddell.

If it all works out, or even half way does I’ll have more fun than I did with Undisputed. Especially that horrible Career mode. Plus you can fight in a cage or ring. Sold.

Xbox Knetic.

So if the footage of this game in action includes Jake Shields actually finishing a fight, how accurate can I expect it to be?

i loved both ufc games though rarely played online. got high hopes for ea mma though not impressed with the footage i’ve seen. online play for any game is tough to balance. ea mma lineup is looking great! just being able to play as bas rutten makes it worth my money

Do I see a potential World Cyber Games candidate? If the multiplayer aspect takes off, it’s going to be huge. Looks really promising.

Oh My God!

I must be the rare Die Hard MMA fan/Hardcore gamer, but I ot am frickin stoked about this game.

I got both undisputed’s, but have since sold them to buy new games. This game looks far and away better than either UFC offering. I really love the roster, with its international feel. I’ll finally get to play as Fedor, not just my shitty CAF version of him. I also love the idea of fighting both in a cage and a ring. I hope StrikeForce and DREAM benefit from this game, because it’s going to be sweet!

Let’s try this article again, this time tell me how its different than undisputed and how they fxed those online issues. No info after the jump. None.

The game looks okay, just has a shitty fighter roster. I’m gonna stick with Undisputed for now.

Why would anyone want EA to take over? If they did, they would buy out exclusivity with the UFC, release one decent game and then release marginal changes with massive hype every year after that because they have no direct UFC competion. OH WAIT, THQ is already on that.

As much as I’d like another MMA game, my years as a Madden fan have tempered any expectations for this one. If they’re able to make a deeper career mode then THQ’s offering, I might get suckered in. I do have the same reservations about the gliding about and pounding a button for submissions has as much depth as THQ’s stupid “shine” system.

Team Edward!

Wait…

Fuck BloodyElbow!

Console or PC CoD MRuss?

1. EA is notorious for taking so long for patches that the community dies while waiting.

2. Who the hell wants to spend an hour or more in a fight night where they watch fights and only fight once??? I like watching a fight card of real fights, and may enjoy watching a couple of friends duke it out, but who thought this scaled well to a full fight card of watching other people fights? (even if I had friends, I wouldn’t even want to do that) Dumb.

3. All these online (web-integrated) features are “nice” but won’t make the game, and will be for nothing if it doesn’t take off.

I think the new UFC game was simply not compelling enough just a year after the previous one and I think the new EA game will meet stiff resistance from wallets around the world that have shelled out cash for either or both of the UFC games. I love watching UFC every chance I get. But playing the games, not so much.

PS – the article does sound like it was paid for or someone is eating up the hype from a company that does not often deliver on promises.

Wouldn’t be fun to use Ken Shamrock in career mode.

No way man this game is going to be fucking amazing man HEAD STOMPS

Dana White is gonna push you down the steps son…

The thing about this game that really caught my eye is you can map your picture a la Fight Night for a pretty true representation of yourself in the game. Supposedly it’s even better than Round 4′s create a fighter. Might pick this one up if the gameplay is as good.

THQ definitely blew it with Undisputed. Not really sure EA can pull it off either, however, there is a new Mortal Kombat coming out that is going back to the original old school style. I’ll whip your bitch-asses at that, if you’d like.

Artof8Limbs >> Agreed. THQ is no Electronic Arts.

Let me just say this:

Fuck Bloodyelbow

I still can’t stand the fact that this game could have been ‘EA Sports UFC’. Dana White went to EA sports before going to THQ, and they turned down the idea of an MMA based video game because quote “It’s not a real sport.” EA sports makes great games but to produce a game because they saw the success of UFC Undisputed…is bullshit.

How great would it be if the AI for Jake Shields just laid on you for 3-5 rounds? You guys!?

I had a blast playing Undisputed personally, but I believe console games are for playing with friends after the bar while drunk, so I never did much of the online shit. Its pretty entertaining for smack talk.

One of my buddys did manage to twiddle the skin off of his palm trying to defend a submission and bled all over my controller though…..

Mike >> Dude, send me your gamertag. You, me, Mamaplata, and Joe Lauzon. And somebody invite Baroni for shits and giggles.

I don’t know about this game, or how MMA translates into any game. I bought Undistputed 2009 against my better judgement, and it was as awful as I imagined it would be. As much as I love MMA, I just don’t know that reducing the technical aspects of it to a game medium would ever result in someting as fun as COD.

AS much as I had my hopes up about this game every preview video gets me more and more disappointed already. The fighters glide like you are still playing Virtua Fighter back in 1993. The x-ray vision during submission has been done before a million times like Fight Club and Blitz the League.

Hopefully the fight system and online play make up for it.

I never said I was a GOOD gamer, but I do throw down the odd time at COD.

Look, i’m avoiding this game for a reason, because i want soe free time. But if there’s competition involved and MRuss is on the home team….

Seriously, who would’ve thought that Gusbuster was a gamer?

This is a pretty glowing article for EA based on….I’m not sure what. Whens the check showing up?
