I went to the leaderboards, selected the top guy and pulled up his recent fight. It's the entire fight from intros to each round. You can even switch the camera angle during the fight. The commentary is there, and while the commentary is lacking, it's rather nice to sit back and watch a fight that took place over Xbox Live.

You can even select fights from your friends list. I'm really wowed by this feature.

That's sick! EA really did a great job on this feature. I know it's more difficult to do this for any other sports game but, being able to look at the entire match from start to finish is truly amazing and next gen in its own right.

I'm off tomorrow but, I'm really tempted to go home early.

I know with the UFC game this year everyone was wowed and then the issues started popping up...just waiting for the same thing to happen here lol

Offline seems pretty clinch happy to me. They try and clinch up almost immediately and come back to it quite often no matter who the fighters seem to be.

I haven't touched career mode yet. I did put in a few fight now fights. I feel the general game of MMA is well represented but some of the things that surround it are rough (commentary, intros etc.) But, those things aren't essential. I'll be sure to add some impressions when I get in more matches.

Depends on who you are fighting. In my career you can "scout" the fighter before. They all have different fight styles. I have fought guys who do nothing but kicks, guys who like to stand and bang, guys who love to clinch, and then the guys who go for take down after take down.

The important thing to note is if you are ALLOWING him to get the clinch. Then yes they will continue to try for it. But if you throw off a couple of their attempts you will see them starting to throw the hands more.

I saw this issue in the demo much more. In the retail I am not seeing it to often. They all seem to have a gameplan from my findings.

With the photo game face and how easy it is to use. There is going to be a bunch of created UFC guys.

How does gameface compare to FNR4's version? I thought FNR4's gameface was atrocious.

I'm 1-4 in online fights. I won my first easily in the first round and now I keep getting TKO'd. Defense is tough when you get a guy that counters you and stuns you.

I can see how this game will own my gaming time. It's a fun pick up and play type thing for online and being able to see my fights in replay does help. Basically, I suck.

Re: ******EA MMA OFFICIAL Impressions (360 & PS3)******

Is there a deeper tutorial in game compared to the demo? Also, does the training actually help you learn the controls better as you go through your career?

P.S. Have fun with that community event Phobia.

Cool...I'll probably get this when(if) Amazon does a Buy 2 Get 1 free deal...picking up Fallout today means that I wouldn't have time for this anyways lol

Re: ******EA MMA OFFICIAL Impressions (360 & PS3)******

Are the issues that were in the demo fixed? Such as it being way to easy to knock someone out with strikes?

**Gotmadskillzson** · 10-19-2010, 05:39 PM

Re: ******EA MMA OFFICIAL Impressions (360 & PS3)******

Game is a blast. Got 2 Gracies in there. Plays much smoother then the demo thats for sure. And yes I finally seen the cpu attempt leg locks. I was impressed and happy at the same time.

I love playing as Monsoon. I always liked that short guy.

Well from what I seen so far, the cpu does a lot better job at moving their head.

I still have the difficulty a little low. I might try turning it up. But it seems the CPU is a little better at trying to avoid strikes. My first two fights I was able to KO them though. I made a big guy that is a brawler and I was fighting some pretty ****ty people though. So it is hard to judge by that. Overall it seems a lot more polished than the demo though.
