I wonder why they would leave Hamill out and put in Nakamura and Boetsch over him and Drew McFedries over Cote. Also even though I think he will return there someday is anybody else kind of surprised that Tito is in the game?

by The Legend on Mar 19, 2009 5:27 PM EDT reply actions  

The reason Nakamura is in is because you have to have that guy that totally blows. The same reason that Madden has (or once had) the NFL Europe teams available. That’s the test, can you beat your bud who sucks with Nakamura when they are Rampage.

I can't wait to play as Eddie Sanchez!

And Nakamura!

Man, Amir Sadollah

Does the one in the game always get injured a week before his fights, too?

One important bit from the linked article:

KEY:
LH: Fighter can switch to Light Heavyweight
MW: Fighter can switch to Middleweight
WW: Fighter can switch to Welterweight
LW: Fighter can switch to Lightweight

so can you hit a button and make diego shed off his KO power so he can fight at lightweight?

Um, no one noticed Mirko Cro Cop being in the game? Or is that a surprise only to me?

And Sylvia, Arlovski, and Werdum. I think it’s partially because of how long development is for a videogame.

You know, one major problem that I hadn’t thought of until just now was the fact that if THQ goes down soon, we can’t expect any post-launch downloadable content to fix this crap. Boo.

Sure you can; another developer would jump at the chance to buy the copyright, etc., as assets. Hell, the UFC themselves might buy them and then “sell” the code and rights to use it to a developer.

I’m happy with most of the roster, but Timmy? Really? I hope they patch it on release day so he won’t be selectable in the game.

Evan Tanner, nice…

I know yer just joking

But they prolly use a slider to control a normal map, which is where the surface detail comes from. So you can fade abs and veins in-and-out. You can create the complete careers of Timmeh and Barnett!

by asa on Mar 20, 2009 10:19 AM EDT up reply actions  

Some good fighters aren’t in the roaster for the simple reason they will make downloadable contents.
Most probably packs: 1 character for each division each time, and most of them won’t be big names, except one, so you will have to pay anyway. Just a guess, but that’s the only reason to not include guys like Randy. While arinany is a bit less appealing than in real life, the other one looked way better the the real one.

Interesting that Dana took some out on purpose and left some in on purpose. I guess he knows Tito and AA still have a huge fanbase.

I'm on vacation...

but I had to chime in with…how weird is it that we live in a time in this sport when you can play a video game as Justin McCully? Now the real question is…will anyone besides Justin and his direct relatives have even the slightest interest in doing so?

It’ll be a challenge to play as McCully.

Justin McCully has the same UFC record than Brock Lesnar. I hope the game has an online mode so Justin and I can kick your Undisputed ass.

The quality of competition isn’t remotely similar, though.
