Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Features 2 Playable Versions of Mike Tyson

I actually agree about having a boxer in an MMA title. It's like a Fight Night dick tease.

Having Tyson in the game does nothing for me besides wishing that Fight Night could be played.

I was excited for Bruce Lee. Tyson? Not at all.

I guess Tyson will have all the same moves as everyone else? Yeah...to each his own.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Features 2 Playable Versions of Mike Tyson

I would rather have more current/legends mma fighters rather the non-mma, just like how they added Arnold for WWE. Does nothing for me, glad it, works for some of you.

That's pretty much how I am, as well except I never use legends in any of the sports games that I play either. I just care about the current roster and that's pretty much it. I never used Bruce Lee or any of the legends the released at all in the last game. I'm sure I'll fight with Tyson a couple of times just because of KO Mode. After playing KO mode a time or two I doubt I'll ever touch either again unless I'm playing against friends who aren't familiar with the controls.

With all of that said I realize that games aren't created just to cater to me and my wants. I'm sure that others will enjoy using Tyson and I'm sure that EA will make a few more sells because of him being in the game. If that means a bigger budget for UFC 3, then it's a no lose situation for me.

If Evander Holyfield can forgive Tyson so can I. He never even bit my ear off.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Features 2 Playable Versions of Mike Tyson

I don't know but there doesn't appear to be any movement towards another FN game soon. Its always possible that EA could hire a second team but I wonder if the Fight Night series is even viable anymore. I gotta think that FN was expensive to make given the individual licenses they had to get (Ali, Tyson, Leonard, Foreman, Pacman).



A potential FN game is also limited by EA's recent changes when it comes to sharing content. One of the reasons I still play that game is because of the Fighter Share and the fact that I can download good versions of new boxers. That wont be a possibility with a new version.

If EA can't find the sense to create a new NCAA Football game, which is depicting a sport people actually care about, I would be shocked to ever see another Fight Night. Boxing is dead

This is equivalent to adding Christiano Ronaldo to Madden.

Will they be adding The Undertaker next year ? Lawrence Taylor ? Pele ? LOL

Absolute joke.

That was pretty darn good.

It was good for business. Makes sense. I prefer his ratings to be elite striking (hands) and low everything else. I hope they don't go with the imagination approach.
That would be very interesting to play similar to reverse Royce. Undisputed 3 with Royce was super fun.

You must not follow current events in the gaming industry.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Features 2 Playable Versions of Mike Tyson

This thread has turned into the biggest whine fest I have seen in a while. Every other page, someone new comes in with the same complaint from page 1 beating the poor horse to death over and over.

Don't like it? Don't use him. It's not that hard. Why can't the thread just discuss using him instead of all this whining how YOU don't like it and what YOU think of him, when there are many more who are excited for this?

Personally, I can't wait to use him. I am a casual mma watcher. Very casual. With this, I'll preorder. Great marketing choice.

Boxing is far from dead and your statement about NCAA is just wrong.

People are saying boxing and Fight Night fan base is small. I would love to see where they got these numbers and please make poll to help verify these claims. I have been a part of boxing real life and videogames wise. I'm part of the Fight Night Community and have monitored Fight Night fans on various sites especially the EA forums as a Senior Moderator. I remember when I went to the EA Community Event and they paid Mike Tyson a large sum of money to appear in a number of Fight Night games. This move caught many off guard because it almost confirm that Fight Night is dead. [I will definitely have to talk to the producers and my inside source]

I wouldnt take this as confirmation that Fight Night is alive or dead. Tyson has a relationship with the UFC so this deal makes sense.
