ill-advised haymaker, and I weave and come around with a vicious uppercut counter punch that catches Taylor square. He's down. Will he get up? At the 5 count, he's up, then down......at 8, he's back up....will he stay up...is the fight over, am I going to lose on the cards after putting this guy nearly to sleep? Nope.....Taylor falls, and the fight is over. 30 minutes of pure gaming bliss that I have not found with ANY other sports game that I can remember. As for the cards......it would have been a lopsided 87-82 victory for Taylor.
UFC?
After getting my created fighter's stats up enough to call him a true kickboxer, most of my fights end in the first round, or early second with a blow to my opponents head that lands flush across the back of the neck. A couple of fights go to the 3rd when my opponent insists on spamming shoot takedowns over and over. Fun? Sure. But it lasts for about 4-5 minutes and then its back to less-than-fun minigames and the worst menu system I have ever seen. I know that the quick fights are somewhat true to life---UFC fights can end in a heartbeat, we all know that. But I also know that not every fight is a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'm affair that seems the norm in Undisputed.
I realize that my 2 cents on the matter is hardly scientific, or really qualified, but it's really not close for me as to which of these is the best fighting simulation on the market.
I will say that it would not surprise me to see both games as heavy contenders for Sports Game of the Year.......unless Madden actually lives up to the hype.
