Re: EA Sports UFC Screenshots - Rousey, Melendez, Lawler & Henderson
Unfortunately, it looks like the days of getting lot's of game play video 2 and 3 months (or more) ahead of time are behind us... Well, with sports games anyway.
We didn't see much video of either NBA game before they were released. Which would sort of makes sense since they're in direct competition with one another. 2k did release some info with the event that they held, but there were still all kinds of questions afterwards. Honestly, the only thing that I really knew about NBA Live is that the dribbling was new.
I don't even want to go there with Madden, but there NG release was ummmmm laughable (trying to be nice). Most of there game play videos were riddled with "is that CG or NG?" type questions. However, at least we knew the rest of the games was a direct port.
The Show releases the same month as EA UFC and let me preface this by saying that I really haven't been following it that closely. With that said how many game play videos have we seen of it? Of course, the biggest difference with The Show is that they are an established game and also may have some competition whereas EA UFC is a first time effort and doesn't have any real competition.
Anyway, my point is no sports game so far has shown anything in-depth before a week or two before release. So, in my opinion, expecting game play video and in-depth blogs months before release is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Maybe I'm wrong... I hope I am actually, but for now, at least until the devs are more familiar with the NG hardware, I fully expect what we've seen so far to be the status quo.
