I'm not sure this article truly encompasses the legitimate reaction to EA UFC so far. People saying the controls are tough, which I honestly haven't seen much of at all, and people saying it's unrealistic for someone to take 20 head kicks and keep coming, I mean, it's totally different arguments.

I will admit that with Madden, well, it gets more complicated. This article is accurate there. People are already complaining that they aren't seeing the defense cover routes well in the videos yet I'm sure if the routes were covered "too well" we would be going through the "psychic DB" outcry all over again. I concede that EA has a hard job trying to please everyone there. Again, with Madden, it's complicated.

With EA UFC, it's not. It's simple. Very simple.

Did EA try to makes a sports game or an arcade fighting game? You tell me.

Whatever the answer is changes the perspective entirely.
