Re: EA Sports MMA Announced at E3 - 2010

Fact is, EA has been improving across the board for the past few years now. They seem to be past the days of just shoveling out as many titles as possible.

I don't deny that ea has improve but it is my opinion that EA when they think have the best game the make small useless change.While other companies seem go for the jugular.

Once again i don't favor any company i favor good games,I have buy madden every year because it is best football game and yes that include when 2k football was out and i buy Nba 2k every year for the same reason,I have tried out Nba live every year as well.I don't have no loyalty i play good games.If Ea make the best mma game i will play it.

These are the same guys who bring the same repetitive crap year after year with their sport franchises i wouldn't buy this crap if they paid me.

Personally I like the work EA sports has been doing. I will be watching this very closely. I hope *both* THQ and EA's games are very successful so they keep pushing each other to constantly improve their games. If they're both excellent games I have no problem buying both.

No 2K/EA stuff please. It has nothing to do with the topic...

I don't really like the monopoly by EA over a lot of licenses, but they've really stepped it up over the last couple of years, especially with Fight Night, FIFA and the NHL series. Madden 10 looks good too.

I think they'll have a good go but I'm not sure they can defeat UFC Undisputed.

I'm extremely impressed with THQ. But I at least gotta see EA's version.

Competition makes for better games. Ya never know.

Re: EA Enters The Mixed Martial Arts Cage With EA Sports MMA (Press Release)

Good news whether EA's is better or worst.....

Just look at SvR series, Im still waiting for a improvement from SvR06.....

Then again the worst EA could do is TNA Impact

gotta love the UFC's position, allegedly.

While it sounds extreme, it does go along the same lines as firing Jon Fitch because he wouldn't sign a lifetime contract for the UFC game.

This hurts EA (even if its just a little) so I'm happy about it but this is just one example of how the UFC under Dana White does business and its not good. UFC is on top but why potentially alienate fighters? No good comes out of that. F EA and their MMA game but I hope the UFC doesn't really end up banning some potentially championship level fighter over this. There are some good fighters out there off the top of my head that may be in the UFC in the future. On one hand I like the thought of all the good fighters fighting under one umbrella but when that umbrella starts trying to strong arm everybody maybe there needs to be another solution or something.

There's probably a decent ammount of them that aren't welcome back or don't want to go back anyway.

It's a league just like the mlb or should be treated that way. Sometime soon the fighters will probably unionize in some way maybe...either way, the fighters should all give away their game license when signing the contract imo. Why shouldn't they? Maybe it should not be lifetime, but just as long as 1.5 years after they're gone...idk...but there is no reason a ufc fighter should want NOT to be in the game.

Ea should just do what affliction did and start there own org, or at least just become a very strong partner with another org like affliction and strikeforce. UFC is the 700 pound gorilla but if enough partners get together with a good plan and enough time they can compete with the UFC. Strikeforce is about the only other org that has been profitable outside the UFC. They are doing a great grassroots promotion and selling out most of the time in there local venues. I think even there trip to St. L was a sellout (usually west coast). UFC is being very agressive protecting their turf but you gotta think the restrictions they are putting on fighter is going to turn off the fighters/managers/etc at some point.
