EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

J, we got to find us a source around Lafayette or BR for getting games before street date. I could ship it to you if I find a spot in laffy and you the same if you find a BR spot. I'm tired of seeing so many people find games before street date, while I'm stuck waiting lol.

I agree... unfortunately the Baton Rouge Area is bone dry. All we have is big box retailers and Play & Trade (which won't sell games early). I thought I hit the jackpot yesterday when I saw it in the case at KMart, but even archaic store like that won't sell game early because of their system.

The 70 year old guy working in electronics even tried to override the system after I asked but couldn't. I would have tried to bribe him but I only had $60 on cash on me. Honestly, I would have preferred not to see it at all than to have seen it, held it and not been able to buy it. It certainly put a damper on my Fathers Day. Lol

If you ever find a spot let me know, if not I hope that EA reinstates the Season Pass before the next UFC game.

I hate all you guys who get it early.

One of you has to PM me the secret. I know it isn't all just eBay. Is it mom and pop stores or do you have a hook up at a big box store?

Its a mix. I have 3 mom and pop stores within 30 minutes of me. They used to get the games way earlier but now they typically get them the Saturday before release.

If you want it earlier than that, you have to go the Ebay route but thats expensive. They make you pay a premium and overnight shipping is 20 plus dollars. I was willing to pay that for UFC because I know I'll be playing this game for the next 2 years.

Sorry, Phobia. Must have posted that just as I was taking the picture.

For years I never got games early until I moved 5 years ago, an hour outside of Phila. This place is sooooo shady it cracks me up that they're still in business.

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

We don't have a single mom and pop in my city. I've tried, gamestop, play and trade, EB games, target, walmart, toys r us, radioshack, and best buy. None of these ever break street date, I've had walmart do it once or twice but thats it.

Same thing here. The only time I've ever gotten a game early was when I paid one of my boys in Jersey to overnight a copy of NBA 2K to me. I don't even bother looking in my city because I know it's a lost cause.

It could be worse Phobia. You could live where I live and have Amazon as your only option.

I got BB to do it with Live last year but the only reason I was able too was because it was the PS4 release date and thy were too busy to notice.

Looking at you Flight

If I wasn't out here in GOT DANG Ohio I would of went a little harder to get a early copy. I didn't have a incentive to get early. I can't play it until Wed evening when I get back home to VA

aholbert, could you please tell me where you got those headshots of those guys for the CAFs?

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Just picked men up. I've played 3x online.

1st fight DC(me) vs Anderson Silva: guy was too fast I was picked apart ultimately was tko in the 3rd.

Next lyoto vs lyoto. This fight I won via tko by getting full mount and dropping some elbows.

Fight 3 Frankie Edgar(me) vs Connon Mcgregor. He spammed punches I ended the fight by counter punching then submitting him from full mount armbar.

Online seems pretty fun. Hopefully it stays this way and no one finds any major exploits.
