If anything, this announcement has me clamoring for more bangers on the roster like Cabbage, Tank Abbott and even Kimbo Slice. I would LOVE to run my own KO Universe with Mike against those guys.

Yeah, Tyson has a huge contract with EA and they wanted to get as much use out of it as possible.

I have been campaigning for a boxing game from different companies.

Did EA leave Lesnar out of the game because they didn't want to pay him to be in? I know he's not coming back, but it was fun having him available in the first game.

I dont think so. The UFC decides whose in the roster not EA.

I wonder if with this, EA throws in FNC for Xbox One BC.

Probably as likely as NCAA Football getting BC.

It's not looking as though any sports titles will be made BC for the Xbox One anytime soon.

I would have definitely preferred a legendary MMA fighter over Tyson. But then again he will attract casuals, and a UFC event wouldn't be complete without casuals booing when the fight goes to the ground and the fighters start "hugging".

Good way to put it. I don't mind the gimmick guys as long as they don't leak into career mode.

Now if it were Bellator I could see them having Tyson in career mode...

Love that Tyson's in the game. I see a lot of people whining elsewhere (didn't read through this thread). To the constant complainers, who cares? It's just a video game at the end of the day. That said, I'll probably only use him a few times, but I still enjoy the inclusion.
