IGN has posted their first look at EA Sports MMA.
"As for the actual combat in the ring -- and there will be different rings aside from the standard cage setup -- EA Sports was being a bit cagey when asked to dive into the specifics of controlling both the ground game and stand-up game. Standard striking will be handled by the analog stick by default, though all of the controls can be customized if you prefer something different. The developers want kicking and punching to be the same movement on the analog stick regardless of whether you're on the ground or upright. How you'll handle moving from mount to half-guard (as well as other transitions on the mat) is still a bit of a mystery.
Dale Jackson, Executive Producer on the game, said that, much like the striking, advancing position will be the same movement or button press regardless of where you are in the ring. If you're in the clinch, it's going to be the same motion to advance your position as if you're on the ground. The same goes for defense. We know that face buttons will make an appearance and that the complexities of the ground game will be handled with a combination of analog stick movements and face button presses, but beyond that little was revealed. Jackson went on to say that they want to keep the control scheme as simple as possible so gamers can learn the moves and instinctually react in the ring."
