    Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

    How is the career? I am thinking about getting it today, but probably just for offline? Is this game better than UFC 2009 (not 2010 because that was a step backwards)

      I have decided that I enjoy this game more offline than online. It was the exact opposite for me with the UFC games. I play on legend(hardest) and when you get beat it doesnt feel cheap (aside from chokes but if your smart you wont allow your self to be put in a choke.) If you dont fight to your fighters strengths and to your opponents weaknesses, you will get beat.

      As for being better than UFC, it is and it isnt. People got so mad at UFC 10 they put blinders on towards this game. This game does so many great things it would be a shame to pass up on it. At the same time its not as perfect or different as people would mention.

      Look at it this way

      UFC = Madden
      EA MMA = APF 2k8

      Its generally the more realistic game with a much smaller following. Its a high quality game that is still missing some things.

          Well being that NOW people are spamming certain moves, no it isn't as fun as it use to be. Like anything, give it time and people will learn the exploits of a game and use it over and over again online.

          The Live fight cards you can make with your friends is a blast though

            Just picked this up today along with NBA Jam, only had a couple of games but it seems good. When i have a few days off work i will be able to get into it more.

            I am more of an offline player in all my games so the online aspect doesn't bother me. I only have live for updates and downloads. I can tell its going to take a bit of getting used to but i think once i get into career mode i will really enjoy it.

            Looking forward to getting time to play this.

              All they really need to do to make this game realistic is tone down the amount of punches that you're capable of throwing throughout a fight. For a game that emphasized stamina and not button mashing it's pretty disappointing how irrelevant stamina is to the standup game.

              Secondly, the ground game is great, aside from the fact that the guy on top doesn't have a big enough advantage. It doesn't make any sense that those heel kicks from the bottom, which are so easy to spam, do more damage than my punches from top.

              So online is really a mixed bag. When your playing guys who want to throw 500+ punches then that's when the game isn't much fun. But, when you run into those who want a sim fight that's when EA MMA plays better than any other fight game, UFC or boxing. Also, sometimes it's very hard to find a match, sometimes I'm waiting a long while before I get matched with anyone. With that said, I want EA MMA to do well, but if you're still on the fence wait for another patch, the last one didn't address the key issues that would turn this game into a proper sim.

                The only real issue I am seeing online is the teep kick spam is STUPID!!! Outside of that one exploit I can hang with just about any other button masher.

                  Well its not like there is a wide array of moves to begin with. I think this kills the replay value along with the unique aspect of creating a fighter.

                    This is better than both UFC and FN4! I love boxing and rather be playing UFC but I picked this game up on sale. My first impression was this sucks I'm taking it back tomorrow but decided to give it another shot and now I'm hooked. My first impression of UFC was wow this is great but then traded it in a month later. I think this one will stick around until FN is released.

                      Yeah it is pretty good. At first I was playing with my controller vibration off, and kept getting killed in chokes and on the ground.....now that I have it on the game is so much easier for me lol....especially since im used to playing with it off.

                      I went on like a 8 or 9 fight win streak online yesterday. Now i hold the championship belt in 3 different weight classes

                      Just wish more people played online....and less people picked FEDOR and CLASSIC BAS

                        I really like this game. I have it for PS3, but i find the game more enjoyable without the patch. even though the scoring system sometimes has 10-8 and 10-7 rounds, i find the scoring overall more fair and more representative of what happened in the round than the updated scoring system in the patch (v1.0.1).

                        also pre-patch it seemed like you didn't get tired as fast and the transitions aren't as good. with the patch uninstalled, i am having some great off-line matches. you seem to have more standup consistency and naturalism in the original version 1.0.

                              No, but the game has a pretty big selection.

                                Is this game still worth buying?
