      I enjoyed Bas and the McGregor Swagger. Really excited about how the new damage system is looking as well.

        The game is looking good. I'm not a legend or Ultimate Team guy so I'd much rather the pre-order incentive be like what NBA 2K did where you can get the game a few days early. Other than that I can't wait to see the full fighter list.

                Is it just me or does Connor MacGregor's model still look off? The face

                    Given that EA is selling EA Access based on the idea that you can play the game early, I don't see them offering that as a pre-order bonus.

                      I was expecting this game to come out in late June so the 3/15/16 release date is a nice surprise. The trailer looked pretty good. They definitely added a lot more signature animations which was sorely needed. It looks like the game still runs at 30 fps which is kind of a disappointment. I was hoping for 60fps but not a deal breaker. What will be a deal breaker is if the game doesn't have gameplay sliders. Gameplay sliders are a must in any sports game. Nothing worse than a game forcing you to play the way they want you to. Any word on sliders being in the game?

                        I'm happy with this release date. I think EA will move to an every-other year approach with this time frame and release the UFC and Rory McIlroy games in March since they don't have a baseball game to get out in time for the season.

                            At 0:28, Maia's going to be a lot of fun to play as.
