We need to see a few videos of regular fights.

The game sounds great in a lot of areas - but the trailers tend to look like ****. I cannot get over how bad the striking looks. I'd expect that from a game made in 2001, not 2009/10.

I agree. You would think that EA would have solid punches at least seeing as how this is the team that made Fight Night Round 4. Leave it to EA to mess up on easy stuff.

Day 1 purchase. The submission system alone is the seller for me and there is no way this won't be better than Undisputed. I need my MMA fix in my library.

This should be interesting....I wonder how it stacks up to UFC....if at all....

[jeremym480]

This is on my radar however, it's going to be hard for another MMA game to get in my rotation with all the other stellar titles coming out around that time.

That ring announcer sounds horrible,I was hoping for Jimmy Lennon Jr. but that online broadcast thing sounds neat. Useless to me but a good idea.
