EA Sports UFC should be coming out soon (no release date yet, just Spring 2014) and I’m pretty excited to check it out in person. Just from what we’ve seen so far, it looks at if EA’s Ignite engine will raise the bar for the franchise. It boasts a new locomotion system, full body deformation, obvious real-time damage and what seems most interesting to me, exertion. In many of the UFC games passed, your fighter would get tired from too much action and...

After a brutal battle of votes the co-star of the EA SPORTS UFC cover has been set with Alexander Gustafsson. He and Jon “Bones” Jones will both adorn the cover, probably looking manly and sweaty. This comes shortly after the news that Jon “Bonez” Jones will be a playable character in EA SPORTS UFC. More fighters will be revealed in the coming weeks and will eventually total nearly 100 playable strongmen. I know very little about Jon...
After EA Sports announced through their Facebook Page (oddly enough) that Jon Jones will be on the cover of EA Sports UFC, they’ve made a small side announcement on their website. They’re giving fans the chance to choose who joins him on the cover with a vote. Fans have the choice of sixteen fighters to vote for. The votes are being done between two fighters at a time, tournament style. The voting schedule below taken from EA Sports UFC website shows tournament...
Last week I made the prediction that women’s Bantamweight champ, Ronda Rousey, would be the first female MMA fighter to take the cover of a UFC game and I was wrong. Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones has taken the cover. A video was posted today on EA Sports UFC Facebook page, with Jon Jones confirming he will be gracing the cover. EA Sports also revealed that another athlete will be on the cover with Jon Jones and that the fans will be able to choose. EA Sports UFC...
Usually when these kinds of stories pop up and can care less. I don’t care who will be on the cover of the next Madden or 2K NHL game, because I don’t care for those sports. I understand now how some players can care now that this type of story has to do with a sport I care immensely about, MMA. With EA Sports taking over the UFC franchise and launching their first title this spring, they posted this morning on the EA Sports website that the reveal of the cover...
We told you about EA Sports UFC back when it was announced at E3. I for one was excited to see it since I’m a big fan of MMA in general and the UFC games especially. I was reluctant when I heard EA had taken the franchise over, but I’ll reserve my judgement for later. Announced this week though, was the fact that for the first time women fighters will be added to the UFC’s roster, in the game that is. The full roster of women fighters has not be revealed...
At EA’s E3 briefing today, we learned about an all new UFC game coming to Xbox One and Playstation 4 this spring. EA Sports Ignite, EA’s new engine for their sports franchises, is being used to create a completely new level of realism for the UFC franchise. Now boasting a new “MMAi” to once again make players more human. “Every licensed fighter in the game will have changing goals and fight plans, based on their real-life tendencies and each...
What do Assassin’s Creed III an UFC have to do with each other? Nothing other than marketing that I know about. Fans are being asked to vote on who they believe is the most revolutionary fighter in UFC history, oh that’s the connection, revolutionary. Fans can vote by going to www.UFC.com/Revolution. You are asked to vote between Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie. One winner will be selected from the fans that voted to win a trip UFC 152...
Yesterday, THQ and Zuffa LLC announced the transition of the UFC license to Electronic Arts. “The agreement results in an undisclosed cash payment to THQ. Additionally, THQ will continue to publish its existing console and mobile titles through March 31, 2013.” This comes as a coup for EA and unfortunately also highlights the financial hot water that THQ has found itself in. In the past year, THQ stock went from around $4.00 per share in June 2011, to a mere...
