ea sports are the biggest hypocrites they told dana white that they dont consider mma a sport and turned him down and then after they see how good the sales were on ufc 09 sold they decide to make one. now i love ea sports but thats kinda wrong to do.

[jayo2k]

@Boxingkid15 wrong, they decided to make EA MM before undisputed, it's when they saw the PPV sales than they jumped in

[sk8erboy618]

@Boxingkid15 They turned dana down in 2007, and they had a different president.  They also been making this game for 2 years...

[TheGreatest0fAllTime]

@Boxingkid15: Like all video game companies, EA Sports wants your money. Plus, Peter Moore wasn't the president of EA Sports at the time when they rejected the idea for an MMA game. But obviously they want to compete with UFC because it was successful. That shouldn't be a bad thing.

@brocklesner91 I have nothin against the ufc game because its nice to have two MMA game and one being like an arcade style game if u jus want to just pick up and play right away and just press bottons and get a quick knockout but i don't want that i want a fight night type game that take skill, stratigy, and that going to require alot of practice in order to master everything but fun as hell to play along with all that.

[jnieves77]

@brocklesner91 I absolutly think u have lost your mind if u think that rock em sock em robot UFC game is going to out beat EA MMA. The UFC is like an arcade style MMA game, EA will be authanic and real like the sport it self and by you sayin UFC will be better then EA MMA thats like saying NFL Blitz is better then Madden.

[jnieves77]

@Steadno This comment just goes to show, U are not a true MMA fan at all u are just a UFC fan boy. S.M.D.H wow u obviously don't have respect for the sport or the fighters in it. .

[trinity2112]

Do not buy this game ! EA is going to charge you to play this online. called "ONLINE PASS".

There going to make the game 20% single player and 80% online. Let everyone know about this . so EA doesn't trick us. look it up yourself if you don't believe me!! Pass the word around so everyone knows about EA games!

He should have talked about how he turned down the UFC because they thought they weren't a sport.

[brocklesner91]

jnieves77 randy couture signed because he didnt signed his rights to the ufc so he can do what ever he wants but ea is a hypocrite and is trying to gain on what is the best sport in the world

a true mma fan respects every fight no matter where as long as they give everything they got

ea is not what mma is about

ufc 2010 will be way better
