Not to mention that celebrity's in sports video games isn't something new. Shaq was in one of THQ's UFC games, Justin Beiber has been in NBA 2k, Hell Micheal Jackson was in a boxing game back in the day. Where was the fake outrage then?

If someone is really against Tyson for whatever reason, then by all means speak with you wallet. I'm sure EA will make up for those lost sales and then some by including Iron Mike.

I've always been a fan of early Tyson in the ring so I can't wait to use him KO mode. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

A) If you don't want to use him there's 250 other fighters that you can use and B) Bruce Lee didn't fight in the octagon either, so where were all of there complaints for the last game?

You guys have to remember there was bitching when women soccer players were added to a soccer game.


Some people just like to complain

My goodness, that is a terrible comparison. Not even remotely close. Boxing and MMA are a hell of a lot closer to each other than soccer and football. It's a ****ing preorder bonus/unlockable. He's not taking the spot of anyone in the game. There's already 250 fighters in the game, that's an absurd amount. What fighter could you possibly want in over him? You probably can't name one. Sure they could have gone with another legend. But it's a preorder bonus. It's not costing you anything more, just let the people who want him in the game enjoy it, and you don't have to use him in the game at all.

I would rather have more current/legends mma fighters rather the non-mma, just like how they added Arnold for WWE. Does nothing for me, glad it, works for some of you.

Wait, domestic violence is domestic violence. Who cares if the person who committed it never competed in MMA. Somehow competing in MMA makes it okay?

I actually agree about having a boxer in an MMA title. It's like a Fight Night dick tease.

Having Tyson in the game does nothing for me besides wishing that Fight Night could be played.

I was excited for Bruce Lee. Tyson? Not at all.

I guess Tyson will have all the same moves as everyone else? Yeah...to each his own.

That's pretty much how I am, as well except I never use legends in any of the sports games that I play either. I just care about the current roster and that's pretty much it. I never used Bruce Lee or any of the legends the released at all in the last game. I'm sure I'll fight with Tyson a couple of times just because of KO Mode. After playing KO mode a time or two I doubt I'll ever touch either again unless I'm playing against friends who aren't familiar with the controls.

With all of that said I realize that games aren't created just to cater to me and my wants. I'm sure that others will enjoy using Tyson and I'm sure that EA will make a few more sells because of him being in the game. If that means a bigger budget for UFC 3, then it's a no lose situation for me.

If Evander Holyfield can forgive Tyson so can I. He never even bit my ear off.
