Check out the new EA Sports MMA video featuring in game action.

striking still look weak but the take downs are nice

[Dalsanto0026]

The movements look stiff and the punches look weak.

Re: EA Sports MMA Video: In Game Action

the commecials last night and the fight preview moves they used the game for totally turned me off of this game to be quite honest. eveything seemed clunky, like KOkings 2001 clunky.

Re: EA Sports MMA Video: In Game Action

I was excited for this game. It looks like it may do some things well, but it also looks like it has a ways to go.

I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for it, with much lower expectations.

Definitely needs a bit of work in the movement area.

Damn, the game is not due til' later this year. We saw a pre-alpha version of the game.Give it time to develop before criticizing it.

Re: EA Sports MMA Video: In Game Action

What they showed last night is the reason developers don't show their games that early in development.

[JoeMimic]

They can't go back and reanimate everything especially since it's all motion captured. They'll either push it back a bunch to do it or release it with a little clean up and accept the fact that they're going to get slammed for a lot of the gameplay. Likely using the excuse that it was their first try but so was UFC 09 and that wasn't nearly as bad as some of that **** I saw.

Re: EA Sports MMA Video: In Game Action

Like I have said multiple times. It looks really weak. But like mentioned it is a very very early build and some things will be cleaned up.

With that said, I think it won't hold a candle to ufc 2010. But it does something really good by the quick look for it.

Looks horrible IMO.

Looks horrible IMO.

I agree. Looks so floaty, while theyre swinging. Reminds me of the way the boxers in Prizefighter swing at times.

[nolan273]

Some of the game at this point looks pretty weak. With that being said, there are still several months before the game is finished.

Most devs and publishers don't release videos of games this early on, but I think EA realizes that they have an uphill climb against UFC 2010. I think this is to let people see where the game is and where it's headed.

I think there's a lot of potential for the game. And despite the video not being all that great, I'm still looking forward to the game itself.

Re: EA Sports MMA Video: In Game Action

I think they have a really large hill to climb when it comes to convincing people to give this game a chance that already like the UFC game. They have to find something, anything, that they do better than the UFC game to promote and market before the game comes out. One of the problems that stands out to me so far, is nothing looks like its being done realistically, and I'm not referring to the bad animations, I'm referring to some of the ways they're showing people being put into submissions, lots of crazy *** moves that you'll see happen once a year, not 5 times a fight.
