    Good idea for the week of UFC 200. Hopefully, this will extend the playerbase, and keep the game alive for a while longer.

      Neat idea.

      Never seen any other games do this before?

          A they should do a flash sale with this game around UFC 200. Make it $15.99 and people will grab it. UFC 1 had tons of flash sales.

            Does it have to be 5 straight hours?

              The way the trial worked with EA Access was cumulative. I'm guessing it'll be the same here. Play 5 hours or until the period is up, whichever is sooner.

                  Bout time. They should've done this a week before release.

                    EA is really shooting themselves in the mouth here imo.

                    They really should have addressed high block and other issues before releasing demo, if they expect people that play demo to play online.

                    They also really should have included a halfway decent tutorial before releasing a demo.

                    I'm saying this because it's a decent amount into the current game life cycle.

                    Lot of dudes are probably going to be confused by what's going on in they play online, and no real offline tutorial to help.


                    This certainly won't boost ufc 2 sales, and could very likely hurt ufc 3 sales.

                    If you are releasing a demo so late, why not fix the game first. Another option would be give people more than 5 hours to figure stuff out. Chances are high of anybody trying demo goes online and runs into any of the high percentage of knuckleheads they will delete the game and never play again.

                    Especially because the in game instructions aren't presented very well, at all.

                      I think you're overestimating the fan that will probably try this out. the hardcore guys already have or have had this game.

                      I'd guess this is aimed at the more casual fan that'll be watching 200 because their hardcore MMA fan of a buddy is ordering it. The casual guy just wants to play rock em sock em and see knockouts.

                        I dont see how that would happen. Casual fans who dont give a **** about the high block or magic combos or the combo modifier will give the game a whirl and like or not.

                        If they dont like it...they wont buy it. If they do, they will find it on sale and likely buy it immediately. Even if they hate it, I find it hard to believe that would make them not buy a future game that wont likely be out for a year or so.

                          I can see your point.

                          I just got message from friend list today asking about when the demo was available, and I couldn't help but think they better not go online in that 5 hours if they are potentially interested in game.

                            If they go online, they will just think "I suck and I need to get better at the game". Most people playing this game have no idea about the meta.

                              I have a feeling your gunna see a lot of people just playing the AI for the 5 hours. That or people trying UT to see what that is about. I doubt online play will be there first thing when they play this game with this huge roster.
