I'm expecting that this game will at least outsell Golf and NBA Live. LOL.

That's true, but if it is a feature of the game that would help improve it, I'm not willing to readily accept that the budget from EA/UFC wouldn't be able to accomplish those tasks to make a better game.

Is that buffer there in the beta?

Every feature would help improve the game.

It all comes down to cost/benefit and fixed budgets.

Yes.

If you don't think it's working I'd be interested in knowing that.

It was in UFC 1 as well, but a completely different implemenation since we gutted the grappling.

What reason would you have for that position? None of us other than GameplayDev have any idea what the budget is for this game or how much money EA is willing to put into it.

The only facts that we have is that the UFC series isnt even in the top 10 of EA's games when it comes to sales and that EA typically puts more resources into its bigger franchises like Madden and Fifa because those games sell more.

I'll give you another example. I work for Discovery. Its a billion dollar corporation. Now Discovery puts more money into its big networks like Discovery Channel and TLC than it does into small networks like Destination America. Most corporations arent going to pour big money into establishing a new product. The safe bet is to slowly build the smaller products and use the lionshare of your money to support and continue the success of the bigger products.

EA is likely no different than any other corporation.
