VERY excited for this game. Its going to do HUGE things for MMA and for video game fans everywhere.

Debatable what it will do for MMA. It will be hard for the casual fan to pick up the EA MMA game (due in August) when the next UFC Undisputed 2010 game will already have been on the shelves for almost three months. It would also be hard for someone to choose EA MMA over UFC Undisputed at the point of purchase. Liked the article about the possibility of THQ vs EA for the UFC license. I think that EA MMA will more than likely do poorly and prompt them to seek the UFC license, which they could probably get in a bidding war (no offense to THQ, but in a war of the “highest bidder,” EA will win six days a week and twice on Sunday).
Machiel Van says
However, I am excited for the game too.

Shawn:
Everyone that saw the EA MMA demo in Chicago said that it blew UFC Undisputed out of the water, so we will see. One thing is selling #s, which Undisputed should win, but I am a video game consumer, I don’t care about numbers, I care about game quality, and if you have been following what EA will do with this game, it will blow undisputed of of the water monday through Saturday and twice on Sunday.
