EA Sports Mixed Martial Arts is surprisingly innovative and immersive!

U.F.C. Undisputed has a lot of things going in its favor; great license, great fighters, great commentary, and great presentation. Unfortunately, none of these things can make up for the fact that it is a terrible experience to play. EA may not have all of the best fighters (just the very best - Fedor? Rutten? Jacare? Couture? Miller?) but the game has it where it counts. Every facet of the game play is superior to the Undisputed series. Better striking, better grappling, better submissions, better career mode, better AI, better online play. If the roster is a sticking point for you - they have a create-a-fighter feature. Last Saturday I was playing Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez in EA Sports MMA with hundreds of other people online. Bottom line: Don't get suckered by the U.F.C. license - if you want the best MMA game on the market, buy this game. If, however, you want the best U.F.C. game on the market... Yeah, still buy EA Sports MMA - and then go download or create all your favorite U.F.C. fighters. This game actually does the sport and it's athletes justice.
