EA Sports UFC,as a whole, has a fantastic presentation.
The majority of fighters look exactly like their real life counterparts.
Ross Pearsons video game avatar looks exactly like Ross Pearson.
Jon Jones looks exactly like Jon Jones.
Theres also that whole people-having-blank-stares-in-video-games thing going on, too.
On top of the framerate issues are the long loading times.
Youll find yourself waiting…and waiting…and waiting for menus to load.
Of these problems, the most unforgivable is the fact that there are no TKOs.
Instead, players are forced to either score a knockout or submit their opponent.
Its a major problem.
Unfortunately, inEA Sports UFC,players dont have that option to really pounce on their opponent.
EA Sports UFCalso feels robotic at times, with a frustratingly limited number of canned animations.
But, thats not the case in MMAno two punches look the same.
Also, theres no pre-fight fist bump.
Cmon, EAthats a staple in MMA fighting, albeit a small one.
The create-a-fighter mode is delightfully deep, having quite a few options available for creating the next UFC badass.
Multiplayer is also strong, since it takes away the more robotic A.I.
This creates some dramatic moments, especially when playing couch multiplayer.
