UFC sucks balls, but the fact you can go a heavy weight fighter and just destroy a wmma fighter will likely make copies of this crap fly off the shelves.
UFC 2009 is the probably my favorite MMA game ever and the only one I put any time into. But it was busted as shit lol. Infinite uppercut combos, takedowns and grappling in general were too good (lay and pray all day!).
UFC 2010 I didn’t even bother with because it was a huge downgrade. Yes they added upperbody movement, more unique attacks but instead of try to fix the combo system the decided to remove it altogether lol and the new grappling system (shining) was just stupid as hell lol. I gave up on the franchise after that.
EA MMA was just jenky looking, the controls sucked, and the grappling was just too simplistic.
I like my fighting games to look cool and have fun characters.
MMA can’t deliver that.
I really liked the Dreamcast UFC game, though. That shit was hilarious.
I remember that too. I think it had more to do with the lameass setup. There was only one tv and I think it was timed demo or some bullshit. I couldn’t be arsed lol.
You can always just hold your own tournaments or sessions in the BYOC section of Evo. Heaven forbid if people actually DO something to have their favorite games at Evo.
RockB apparently took a lesson from SWBeta in the MGR thread. Just flag anything you dont like and be a little bitch about it. ALso love how my post got 3 troll marks when i was actually serious. As far as I knew UFC actually was on its way out the door. I used to hear about that shit all the time “DUDE DID YOU SEE THAT FIGHT LAST NIGHT!?”. Now I dont even see their terrible designer shirts anymore
Thats because MMA and Boxing games are viewed more as sports games, as opposed to what are actually called fighting games.
If I wanted to play a Sports game I play MBLA the Show, Madden, NHL 2k or something. The Last good WWF (I don’t recognize the WWE) game was on the SNES and Genesis.
If I wanted a Boxing game I’ll Play Mike Tysons Punch Out on the NES.
Game are never supposed to be about realism, it supposed to be fun. And the moment you constantly insist on realism, you ignore drive away anything that even mimics fun.
About MMA’s Sport status.
MMA matches illegal in some states, It was illegal to have UFC/ MMA matches in Maryland until a few years ago. The State of Maryland before then refuse to acknowledge that MMA was even a sport. And our State official sport is jousting, you know two guys in full plate armor charging each other on horses with wooden lances.
