    This brash, good-looking newcomer has all of the usual EA spit and polish you would expect. [Issue#198, p.88]

    In the end, EA Sports MMA is a fantastic foundation for the series, and delivers a very fun experience overall. However, it suffers from some robotic animations that cripple the intensity of the fights.

    But no matter what the future holds, EA Sports MMA is a title that MMA fans should appreciate, and is a refreshing take on the MMA genre.

    A great package overall and especially for long time MMA fans. There are some minor sticking points in the controls and some will miss their favorite UFC fighters, but if you want a fuller experience of what mixed martial arts is coupled with superior online modes, you can't do better than EA MMA.

    Finally EA MMA walks on the ring to fight against it's rival, UFC Undisputed. The game is really good but the lack of the UFC license is a huge limitation for the most hardcore fighting fans. Anyway, the game is smooth and based on a simple but deep command system.

    Intuitive controls, a lengthy career mode, and impressive online options make this mixed martial arts game a serious contender.

    EA Sports MMA isn't as intricate as the sport it represents; it never presents itself as an arcade-like representation, so it's hard to not notice that it is a lackluster effort within the simulation genre.

    I tried the demo at first and didn't think it would blow UFC Undisputed 2010 away. The AI was too easy because all you had to do was get intoI tried the demo at first and didn't think it would blow UFC Undisputed 2010 away. The AI was too easy because all you had to do was get into full mount and it's an auto win. Until I just purchased my full version copy yesterday, wow, it's amazing. I have played about 30 matches online and I love this game more and more. First off, the online connectivity is incredible. It literally takes only seconds to find a match and on top of that, NO LAG! Now compared to UFC Undisputed online connectivity, it's like heaven and hell. But anyway, besides that, this game is really like a chess match. The striking is awesome (especially if you are a big fan of the Fight Night series) and the animation is very fluid. Swaying and dodging actually looks realistic, not like a robotic head bobbing back and forth. The submission is very technical and fun. It's not just a bunch of joystick spinning contest that leaves blisters on your hand. Fighting all over the world which allows you to do soccer kicks to head, knees on ground is very cool. Now of course, there is 1 slight downside of the game. Alot of times matches can end really fast, especially if 1 person is way better than the other. I have had matches where I TKO someone in literally 6 secs, at least 5 of the matches were like that. It is really easy to knock out or TKO someone if you connect a combo of punches and the opponent does not know how to escape it. However, if 2 players are at similiar level, it will last longer and will become a fun chess match. Anyway if you love mma games, this is a MUST BUY. PS - I already sold UFC Undisputed for this game and do not regret 1 bit… Expand

    Graphics suck. Controls sucks. And no, I'm not being buyist. I just don't think this was that good of a game at at. If you like Fight NightGraphics suck. Controls sucks. And no, I'm not being buyist. I just don't think this was that good of a game at at. If you like Fight Night get this. If you don't get UFC. The only good person on ther IMO is Ken Shamrock. Mainly becuase Daina White said If any of hus boys go to EA and want to be on the game he'd fire them. So IMO this game sucked… Expand
