Rockstar Table Tennis had a spectator mode as well. That was a fun little game.

I really wished they wouldn't shut down the ea mms servers, because that really was a great game, and ai personally like it better than the UFC ones, too bad Dana hates EA and they will probably never make one again...

Don't know when and if they removed the MMA online pass from the PSN Store, but if they did a few days before shutting down the servers is something _very_ similar to a fraud.

I'm not liking the whole paying $10 for Online just for them to shut it down like a year later, I would understand If they came out with a brand new game but still EA is just getting cheaper and cheaper,,,,

The game had some issue, but calling it a bad game is a bit much. Strike to pass, pass to strike works in theory, but the blocking system made it a bit unbalanced. Instead of killing temporary stamina to get a pass, you should gave had to set it up with strikes my mixing high low. The solo block button along with gigantic denial windows for transitions made it too easy to defend against both. Adding a high low block would have worked better. But there are many things EA got right. I think they did pacing and fluidity better in the stand up. But them the parry system screwed it up.
