Forums - Sales - EA Sports MMA a success or failure in the making?

^

1.) THQ

2.) like 2 million plus.

3.) i play it, and it's pretty good. a little bare bones, but it's got the basics down.

4.) it has nothing on fight night round 4. EA's boxing game is solid as hell with every single element included. the undisputed game feels more like a mix of a wwe game and a traditional fighting game more than a sports game but its fun.

Undisputed uses Yuke's game engine, so I'm sure that's not entirely coincidental (being a mix of a WWE + fighting game).

Re: slimebeast

If you just like "fighting games" which I personally have enjoyed since the original Street Fighter, but have next to zero grounding in actual fighting competition, Undisputed is a very hard sell as it is extremely technical (particularly the ground game) if you really want to learn how to play the game like an MMA fighter.

If you're not familiar with the line up of fighters (not a UFC or MMA fan) or you don't have an interest in MMA, you'd probably be better off playing Tekken, or SFIV or BlazBlue or any of the other arcade style fighting games.

Undisputed has plenty of room for improvement, but it seems to be selling well above expectations already for what is currently is.



After reading what the head of the UFC said, I hope EA Sports MMA flops. And remember, he said any UFC fighter who signs a license to be in EA MMA will be permanently banned from the UFC.

I see. I like to watch the big UFC fights, but I dont really follow who has the belt etc.

It's surprising though that the UFC game is 'extremely technical'. Somehow I pictured it's the other way around. Maybe the boxing and WWE games are technical too compared to traditional fighting games?

Why u hope it flops? Isnt it very unfair by UFC to ban the guys who decide to be in the EA game? Or is it something with 'signing a license' that is immoral?

See, the UFC originally wanted EA to publish their game. But EA said it wouldn't sell, or there was no marketability or something, and waved them away. Desperate, the UFC went to THQ, who agreed to publish it. Now, after seeing the success of UFC, EA want in on it, and have decided to make their own game. The UFC are now pissed, and rightfully so.

Ahhh... what a drama! Exciting. I indeed hope the EA game will flop. It's gonna be fun to follow this story and the game sales.

Btw, do you mean that the UFC president himself said these players would be banned?



Fedor still fights? Damn.

He kicks ass in Fire Pro Wrestling Returns.

All the MMA guys make the wrestling guys look like chumps actually. It's kinda funny.
