Well, this is just plain stupid. There are a few other games that let you match CAP names that get announced in games. Not sure why they took that out as all your doing is creating them, their not supplying you with the actual fighter.

So the guys you made, did they lose any of their faces, etc?

Probably took it out from legal pressure from the UFC. Kind of like how the UFC made that Kinect game Caged Fighters change the wording of their game.

All EA is doing is giving the tools for people to create these guys, their not offering templates. I can see what you mean, but it stinks.

They just got another sale with me. Got it new for $20 at GS. I have rented it a couple times and loved it. So I figured at $20 its a must buy.

I might be wrong but I believe they already confirmed a second game.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Yeah they already making a second game because they sold more then they expected to, so Peter Moore said he is going all out in the MMA market.

They going to be rotating this game with the Fight Night game. One will come out one year and the other the following year.

It probably wasnt the UFC doing this but the individual fighters. The UFC doesnt own the fighters likenesses...they just license them from the fighters.

it was all the UFC. They take their stuff seriously and even temporarily cut fighters because they wouldn't sign over their rights to a videogame. EA probably caved too easily and went a little overboard with the censorship, even taking out common as hell names like Silva and Sanchez.

EA MMA is a fine game, but it didn't sell that great and won't get another release until 2012. EA would probably love to get the UFC license at some point, so the UFC probably got them to bend over on this easily. There's really nothing legally wrong with what EA had in the game, as UFC Undisputed has the names and nicknames of a number of SF fighters.
