EA Sports MMA Footage in King Mo: Journey to the Crown Video

[Phillmattic]

I actually enjoyed the video.

I will say that a dev at the Official EA forum said that the gameplay footage shown in the video had been slowed down, and also that it lacks the added effect that high impact shots strikes will possess in the final version.

But the fighting actually flows like a real life fight would. And the difference in attacks that Mousasi throws which are quick and precise, differ from the ones Mo was throwing which were wingy and slower. Also you get to see something you never see in an MMA game, and that is octagon control and positioning. In the clip you see Mousasi pressing the action against Mo who is forced to back up against the cage to avoid attacks, and as soon as Mo tries to find an escape for better positioning Mousasi quickly makes his way over to the corner to keep him trapped.

It looks like with skilled strikers you're really going to be able to dictate the pace and pick opponents apart methodically, instead of always having to look for the "big moves" to end the fight quickly.

Why can't you believe it? I'm an MMA fan so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Also, how is UFC "lightyears" ahead of this? We hardly know anything about it.

I picked that up too, there was also a little stun shot that had him a litle rocked and backing up and getting on the defensive that looked pretty good to me. But everything seemed kinda robotic. I wanna see how the final product comes out. I am still interested in this game and if anything it will be a nice alternative to the UFC game when it finally drops at the end of the year.

Striking looks horrible.

On the other hand - UFC 2009 didn't look great watching videos, but playing it was much better. Guess we'll see.

There are only TWO things i like about EA's ATTEMPT at MMA.....The differant cages/Arenas (but the facial damage and blood looks pretty good as well) and the fact it will only make THQ's UFC 2010 even more appealing.

Should've teamed up with Dana when you had the chance EA. It IS a Sport!

Rental at best for me.
