EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

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

There are several former UFC heavyweights that have come and gone which are still fighting in various MMA promotions that could be included as DLC. Too bad they haven't done that or even throw out a few of the newer guys that have graced StrikeForce's door since the release of this game.

If EA could do something similar to what was done with UFC's career mode for MMA 2 than there is some longevity. I just hate that you fought 40 fights and pretty much that was it. The career should have gone until you reached a certain age or you retired your character.

i think thats a great idea about DLC fighters
as long as they are completely realistic & authentic
but the CAF & fightershare are freaking awesome and there is so much detail with CAF
i mean ive created lesnar, cain, and JdS and the amount of detail available is amazing and makes for a very realistic creation (with or with photogameface)

i can take or leave 40 fights, i wouldnt mind if it were only 20 or 30, but yeah, a retirement option would be cool, as long as they kept it fair as far as attributes

Hopefully for MMA 2 we see some of these things as a part of the career mode. This game sucks online, its just button spammers after button spammers. I guess if I want to play online, I have to stoop down to button spamming like the rest of the jokers.

Nearly every game is awful online. I don't understand why people keep paying for it/playing because all they do is complain about spammers,cheaters,quitters and the such. The only ones that aren't awful are the ones where you work together. Even then in something like Rock Band you have go through a bunch of people to find someone that won't pick those awful songs people keep picking.

Though that body spammer fellow looks like he would've walked into multiple headkicks had the other guy thrown them.

There's been another $10 price drop btw,at least in Canada. $30 now.

I think it's $29.99 here as well. I'm thinking of trading in Madden 11 (hooked on Backbreaker now) and getting this.

This game is definitely worth the $29.99, I am still playing the game and have had it since November. If you are looking for sim players just try to find some on here.

I mostly play offline, so that has been holding me back from buying as I wasn't sure if I'd get my money's worth.

How is fighter share on the PS3? Will I find just as many created fighters on that system compared to the 360?

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

how the hell are those "button-spammers" able to get away with it????

i have to agree, i have a hard time online, i can only win 1-2 out of every 5 fights or so

i have gotten better recently, but still, with all of the countless offline hours i've put in learning every nuance of the game, i'd think i'd be a little better

i dont know, but i can 'button-mash' with the best of them

I finally tried online the other day and went 0-6 using TPC while my opponents of course were button mashing. I guess to rack up some wins online, you have to button mash like the rest of them.

BTW, this weekend there is 2x XP for online for those that still have this. I might mess around with this online over the weekend hopefully to get myself a win. LOL! The problem I also have online and have noticed is that I can knock the senses out of someone and the moment I go to knock them out when they are in a daze they automatically take me down. That to me just feels so unrealistic by this engine which I can see happening from time to time, but not all the time. LOL!

If you can get some very well created guys off of Fighter Share, they look even better than some of the generic guys that are created for your career mode by the CPU engine.

not to brag...i've got some pretty decent 'career-caf's' you are more than welcome to download
Brock, Cain, and about to upload BigFoot
its my 4th Brock, so im pretty confident he's fairly authentic and rated well (strong & powerful, but his chin & submission defense are his weaknesses

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

one more thing i noticed you mentioned (if i understood the post correctly)...
fighters you create & take through Career Mode come out with better ratings & more special moves than just creating a fighter

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

man ONLINE this weekend sucks

i guess all of the so called "button-spammers" have come out to play

UNBELIEVABLE

i dont want to seem like the 'evil-conformist', but how do you button-spam? is it a special controller? i dont get it

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

buttons naturally have a lower inputlag than the stick controls. Because you have to do more complicated motions using the stick, a button press in most instances is simply faster that the stick input.

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

im holdin on to that baby for a while, its my 3rd time, and 1st time i defended it

i'll share one hint, a lot of the very competitive online fighters are constantly hand-blocking, and i tried that, and it works very well (to be in a state of constant blocking with hands)

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

How many quality fighters from the UFC are downloadable? Is there a link where I can see what is out there?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found a site.
