EA was showing off several sports games at the EA Sports Season Opener event in San Francisco last night. Since Samit Sarkar lives over on the East Coast, Nick Chester decided by some racist logic that I would have to do some sports coverage.
So yeah, EA Sports MMA! That's this game right here. It's full of men beating the sh*t out of each other. Sometimes they bleed, sometimes they get really sweaty. Yup.
EA Sports MMA will be out sometime this year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Who here is looking forward to the game?

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

What's the deal? Why does this look so weak?
Although EA suck at making anything other than style based games with no substance, I'd rather play as Jeff Monson, Fedor, Aoki et al than just the UFC and it's autonomy.
In screens for the UFC game, even casual fans can pick out fighters they know and see how detailed the models are, but on this one, (pretty much aside from Emelianenko) I see random people that may or may not be modeled after anyone.
In other words, why the hell would I buy this over something I already know is going to be good?
Graphics look fine to me. It's not really a game concerning immersion or, the dreaded word, cinematic quality. All I care about is if it controls well and the fighting is fluid instead of undisputed's rigid "smackdown reskinned" controls.
