EA Sports MMA Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[DJ]

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I know Aholbert and Phobia, you guys have played all 3 "main" MMA games out there (UFC 10, UFC 09, MMA), would you say EA's offers the most depth?

Sorry if these are silly questions but I honestly haven't been as invested in the MMA game (I more mean the sport than the game) the past few months, as I think I got burned out between my several years of training, watching EVERY fight in EVERY organization and playing UFC 09.

Thanks for the help as I try and narrow my decision down on which game to roll with. I will be getting the PS3 version, if that matters at all.

I think that EA's game is better gameplay wise. Features and Presentation are much better in UFC 10 imo. The flash KOs, poor stamina and difficulty getting out of submissions are huge problems in UFC. These arent issues that are in EA's game. I havent really seen any AI issues from EA's game so far. The biggest issue in this game so far is the horrible judging.

The presentation in UFC is much better. The announcing and features like Event mode and Classic fights are pluses for the UFC game. The announcing in EA's game is annoying and sometimes out of place and the presentation elements are either too short or non existent.

Very fair, honest comparison. I like it.

I think I'm going to give EA's game a shot. I really liked the submission system in its game over UFC, as I despise 'the shine.' I always struggled in UFC with subs b/c I couldn't 'shine' fast enough. Very annoying. I like how EA's is more of a mini-game with button presses.

I'm OK with EA having not as flashy presentation as UFC; gameplay is what I'm most concerned with. It sounds like EA is holding up well in the retail version, which is good to hear. Yeah the judging sounds wonky, but honestly, what fight game DOESN'T have wonky judging? I remember some silly scores in UFC 09. Granted, not 10-7 but still, there were some strange scores in that game and Fight Night has a history of weird judging.

Nah, UFC 10's judging isnt wonky. You may see a few 10-8 rounds but its not even close to how bad EA's is.
