Dana is looking tanked
hes looking roided
I actually really enjoyed the last UFC game. Only problem is it ten times more fun knocking out your friend than a computer And the last UFC game my online was always down.
I think EA will Improve this aspect of the game.
Itd be cool if there was like Belts for each weight class online and player had to fight up the ranks for a shot at said belt
FINALLY!!! THQ SUCKS!! I can't believe the UFC was ever dumb enough to do business with them.
EA will make the most insane UFC game anyone's ever seen. They're top notch and will blow the THQ games out of the water.
Can't wait! Looks like I'll be finally be purchasing a UFC game.
How would you know the UFC games suck if you've never owned one? If you say demo that is a taster not the full dish.
All the UFC games by THQ have been great, especially the latest one.
You obviously don't know too much about EA, they have some incredible games but don't do well with others such as Fight Night for example. Even worse than that was EA MMA, that was nothing on UFC Undisputed, I hope they totally change it up for UFC.
THQ did well with an engine but has TERRIBLE customer service and community presence and with the company doing terrible financially they couldn't support the game with content or even important fixes it needed. EA did a great job for their first go at an MMA game, they had an awesome community and support team always around and willing to help. The servers were flawless and engine was nearly glitch free. EA will do a better job with the license after revamping their engine or even building a new one. I for one as the owner of all 4 games (3 ufc and 1 EA MMA) am looking forward to EA's game.
I agree I just Hope they can see what THQ did and improve.
Dana White 2010: "EA sucks"
Dana White 2012: "Happy to be here. Finally."
jaja you know how Dana is... when something is not on his side, it either sucks or simply doesnt exist, but when is on his side is the best of all worlds.... hate the guy...
Yeah, like EA always makes the best games, next. I stopped liking EA ever since they ruined my favorite NFL game of all time by buying out NFL2K's NFL right. That was pathetic. NFL 2K5 > Madden13, 14, 15, - 50 Lmao.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, get your nickles and dimes ready because I forsee ALOT of DLC in the future.
Oh i can almost guarantee you 1 day DLC as well,hurray EA!
I hope they do a better job with MMA than they have with boxing, Fight Night games are pretty crappy.
I think UFC Undisputed is a great game, hopefully EA takes some pointers from it on how to make an EA game rather than use their own bad formula.
I also hope THQ got a nice payay from this - they did a great job with the UFC game, put a lot of effort in to it, brought a ton of new fans to the sport and brand.
THQ were the ones who had the balls to trust in MMA and invest their money back when EA pussied out and hated on the sport.
EA has more potential for the game but thanks THQ for your 3 great games, I've enjoyed them all immensely and still play UFC 3.
