EA Sports gets the rights to UFC

[Wiles200Cola]

Well it's official, UFC is now going to be licensed to EA Sports. I guess there was a huge pay out involved. I wonder if THQ was trying to raise some cash or was the UFC trying to jump ship.

Regardless, it should be OK.

I liked the steps THQ took to make Undisputed 3 better but.. It still was missing something. I always look at Fight Night [despite it being a different sport] and see how good the boxing/combos can be if given enough time. I'm hoping that we'll be able to throw crisper shots and land better looking strikes than the [semi]robotic ones we've got with THQ's UFC's games.

If EA gives us anything like FIFA, we're going to have the greatest 'hard sport' game in history, from presentation down to the commentary.. But if we're going to get the Madden/NCAA/Live treatment, then we're gonna get one brand new game every six years.

On the bright side, at least we're going to get Randy in a UFC game before I die, that's something I'm looking forward to, hahaha.

Doesnt EA have the rights for Randy Couture? If they do finally cant wait for a EA UFC EA's servers are great

this could potentially be the death of ufc games as i hated ea mma and think in general ea have too many games in their portfolio to give the same levels of time and dedication to making a great game as thq have,in their defence they have made some amazing sport sims eg fifa,nhl,madden,nba live.so as long as they give it everything and keep the basics that thq have put in place maybe they can have another winner.

I liked the progression of the ufc games and honestly I love urchin 3 except when I'm fighting off submissions online because I don't know how they latch on and slow you down. Still I wish we got a urchin 4 and 5 before this. However I'm being optimistic

I guess that this can just be a good move for UFC, time will tell. But for me it's kinda odd cause I still remember Dana White saying he would never work with EA... But I geti that White left all resement behind and keep the UFC brand teaming up with the best in each media: First FOX Sports, now EA Sports.

This sucks ... considering how crappy ea mma was.

Classic Fedor + Pride mode and I'm happy.

You're crazy. On a both a technical and philosophical level, EA MMA was far superior. The only thing it lacked was the fit and finish + presentation that comes with several iterations, like Undisputed had.
