EA Sports MMA Adds Matyushenko, Hansen and Barnett to Roster

I'm surprised knowing that EA has different promotions that THQ didn't take advantage of having WEC and the fighters there like Faber Cerrone Aldo etc...

anyway, the names are good, but that isn't a battle they can even come close to...this game to me is all about how good they can make the gameplay and IF they can resist gameplay 'gimmicks' that make it too segmented and mechanical - things like counter window could easily ruin it for me. It changes it from I'm in a fight, to, ok now i've entered the counter window mechanic - it just needs to flow and make the whole thing with all aspects of mma fluid.

I think though, that they will have dumb things like that because of the arrogance. "we're teaching MMA to the world who are largely idiots" - that mind frame is what can kill their game.

If it's smooth with no gimmicks with addicting and deep career mode it will be a winner.

They could also put in legends like Sakaraba, Bas Rutten, etc. There's also a huge pool of guys who have made it to UFC at one time and have a bit of name recognition. A dude like David Louisaeu would be a blast to use for me. I don't feel like every signing has to be a major name personally.

older ones could be cool...Keith Hackney, Pat Smith, Kimo, Tank Abbott, Pedro Rizzo*, Dave? Williams (first headkick KO in ufc against coleman).

They were gonna include them but ran out of stores where you'd have to buy it at to actually get them.

It's still possible they'll add the women to this. Carano might help,she's another name. Not sure how known Cyborg is.
