Well then don't be surprised...

When you see the same overlapping with future weightclasses. They never had a large roster anyhow (kind of like Strikeforce). I guarentee Nick Diaz falls in MW, WW, and LW.

Overeem would have to chop an arm and a leg off and then hit the sauna for a week to make LHW.

Miller would have to then eat said arm and leg!! .( Let the man enjoy his manwich!-Tallahasee )

Would be sweet if they had Pride era Overreem stat-wise for LHW version ( 2 minute cardio ) and Uberreem stats for HW version.

I hope they’ll at least have the LHW-Overeem physique. Just putting him in with the bloated Ubereem body in both weight classes would be pretty silly.

Then it’ll be massively unrealistic, and the roster will make no sense at all. Apparently, that’s one down.

Im a huge video game player and a huge MMA fan and i have never had any interest in owning either UFC game. I disliked it following the yearly “sports game model” and frankly remindes me a little too much of WWE games, more importantly id rather play WOW and 1st person shooters.

The relevance is this, if hard core gamers who loves MMA can pass the UFC title no problem (i know people who echo similar sentiments to mine) who is left to buy the EA title???? I think the casual fans who have bought the UFC game will gravitate towards that still, and hardcore gamers will stick to games and gameplay they already love.

It might not completely flop but it wont have the visibility or the appeal to do the UFC’s games number.
I dont see the benefit to playing MMA games at all, as previously stated im happy watching MMA and playing games i actually enjoy.

Video Game flops are more to do with poor marketing

Than anything gelse. Look at the success of pre-orders for the original Gears of War, as an example of this, or the recent failure of APB.

EA have deep pockets in this area, and MMA is easy to market well, so the game could do quite nicely.

Agreed and the same names are going to be on multiple lists...

Rua, Lindland, Henderson, Smith, Manhoef, Miller, Mousasi and Frank will probably appear at MW.

I wouldn’t be blown away to see King Mo there too, plus he will also be fighting at Money weight…

Smith and Miller may also appear at WW

Will there be a 182 lb division?

Diaz will appear at MW, WW and LW

And why start that type of buzz building

With no where to go but down as far as draws are concerned? Shouldn’t this have started at LW, with Randy, Fedor, and Ubereem at the end?

Because he's a good fighter, top 20 competitor, and has been working hard in MMA for a long time.

He belongs at LHW in an MMA game. I’m not just trying to trash these guys, it’s the truth. Matyushenko looks old when he fights. Randy is rapidly deteriorating because of his age, and even Joe/Goldy/Randy himself constantly refer to how old he is. King Mo is 6-0, which is nothing in MMA. Brock is the only man with a record so sparse that has elevated themselves beyond the prospect level, and that’s because he’s beaten the best competition available over and over again. Roger Gracie almost never shows up in MMA and his best win is 2010 Kevin Randleman. Who gives a fuck? Mousasi, despite all the hype, has only three fights at this weight class (he’s 2-1, my mistake above) and looked terrible in one of them. Not impressed.

Babalu has a legit record and some serious wins on his record. He’s fought MMA for 13 years and his only embarrassingly bad loss is to Jason Lambert. The Mousasi loss looks worse in retrospect, but beyond that he’s a serious fighter and belongs in an MMA videogame at 205.

Another take... Unique characters...
Murilo Rua, Matt Lindland, Kevin Randleman, Dan Henderson, Alistair Overeem
Vladimir Matyushenko, Muhammed Lawal, Scott Smith, Roger Gracie, Melvin Manhoef
Ken Shamrock, Jason Miller, Bas Rutten, Randy Couture, Renato Sobral, Gegard Mousasi, Frank Shamrock

Randleman, Overeem, King Mo, Randy, K. Shamrock and already appear in the game at HW.

Rua, Lindland, Henderson, Smith, Manhoef, Miller, Mousasi and F. Shamrock will probably appear at MW.

This division offers exactly four unique characters.

Also, the continued lack of Minowaman really blows goats.

EA needs to give up on releasing these weight class rosters and just give the names on the game. The way they are having to pad these weight classes out is just making them look bad (although it’s great fun to laugh at).

by who me on Aug 16, 2010 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Middleweight and lightweight will be good lists, I think.

Respectable to say the least. Heavyweight was alright, not fantastic. Welterweight will be bad (Diaz, Shields, Sakurai, Zaromskis… then silliness like Mayhem and Lawler of old) and we’ll all have a good laugh. But this LHW list is pathetic.

I’d be a little surprised that Paulo Filho didn’t show up in the game if he ever showed up anywhere he was supposed to. Then again, the lack of Feijao is stark. This is total speculation on my part, but I can’t help noticing that both Filho and Feijao are not in the game and both are managed by Ed Soares. Wonder if I’m grasping at straws, but there are a million reasons he might have wanted to keep his fighters out of the game.

Why is it cool? Why would the UFC game do it? Honest question. Personally when I play Undisputed I only choose fighters who are currently fighting in the weight class we’re banging in.. annoys me to see someone like Bisping still at LHW rooster.

Anyway, yeah this line-up really sucks, but whatever. As you said we already knew to expect this.. if the game play itself is better than Undisputed, it won’t really matter all that much. We’ll see in a few months how the game turns out, hoping for the best.

Even if the UFC was with EA, they wouldn’t sign off on a FIFA-type massive game. As awesome for the player as it would be to progress realistically, for the UFC it would be a lot of pub for competitors on a game selling the majority of its copies because it is “that UFC game.”

Round 4 I meant specifically. Which I think you mean too, as it looks like there are around 40 fighters. Regardless, these were spread over a ton of weight classes and I never really felt like it was too thin. With the ability to share fighters, within a month of release there should be virtually every fighter imaginable in the game. And there’s that whole EA face scanner thing that I don’t really know much about too which should ease the process. I hope there’s enough depth when it comes to creating the fighters to make their styles accurate, though.

I like how they're looking straight ahead at eye level, yet their feet are arranged as if shot from above

Giving the impression that Dan Henderson’s 5’11" frame TOWERS over the majority of these LHWs, a full head and shoulders above Randy for one.

Also, I’m gonna pretend Ken Shamrock is Renzo.

Ha, he does kind of look like Renzo in that picture.

I’m sad they don’t have Arona and Sokoudjou but I still think this game is going to be amazing. Anything should be better than the thq UFC games.

I will post it again here:

EA has a GameFace feature which will let you put whoever you want in the game, so their released roster is just a base roster now you know =)I

You're right

they should just ditch it altogether and we should all kill ourselves.

After the sales reports come in EA will think we did kill ourselves.

we each must become like fishermen, and go out on to the dark ocean of mind, and let your nets down into that sea
