why did we have to even mention EA. THQ has the license till 2011 I believe and they're making quality stuff. DANA and the UFC chose THQ because of their passion for MMA and comittment to realism/quality.

the UFC's number one concern from day 1 was quality - and to make the best combat game ever. The game imo was never a cash grab, but a means to expand the UFC audience, promote mma, and get the brand to be even more of a household name.

They didn't go cheap for this thing, modelling everyone at turtlerock studios or whatever costs big bucks.

UFC and THQ are happy and proud about the finished product, as they should be There is absolutely no reason for either party to end the relationship.

I don't agree with the title of the article or the first sentence at all.

I'm against EA holding a monopoly with the license for the NFL, and I'm against THQ as well.

I agree that THQ did a great job and that Dana picked well, but I think EA should be able to get the license as well and make their shot.

Competition is a good thing but THQ makes a great game. The WWE games are good and the UFC game is the best thing they have ever made. I don't think EA will make a great fighting game but we shall see next May.

EA does a great job with the Fight Night Series. If given the chance, I believe they could produce a much better product than THQ.

I agree that the best situation is *both* THQ/Yukes and EA putting out hight quality games. THQ/Yukes did an excellent job and hopefully they'll have the resources to make it even better next year. Whatever your view towards EA, they do likely have more resources which is something THQ/Yukes is going to have to compete against. But like I said, if this game is any indication they have the dedication to do an excellent job.
