EA Sports MMA Hits and Misses
EA Sports MMA has now been out for two weeks allowing plenty of time to assess what the game has done well and where it fell short. For a first attempt with the launching of a franchise the product is surprisingly polished and contains a deep feature set. Here are what I perceive to be the hits and misses for EA Sports MMA.

EA Sports MMA Fight Card #2
Last week the 'Friday Night Fights' kicked off and turned out to be a big success. Fight Cards in EA Sports MMA were ran for 2 1/2 hours with five total being completed. You can check out the results here. It was really a lot of fun not just in competing but in getting to watch all the other fights live. Same procedure tonight. I will set up a Fight Card on the 360 at 10ET/7PT. If you'd like to be involved join into the room at that time. The room holds 10 people but there are only four fig...

It also keeps a good balance in ratings distribution while adding the strategy behind building on chosen strengths and learnin...

There is a Future for EA Sports MMA

Fight Night 10/22 Recap
The first Friday Night Fights with EA Sports MMA turned out to be a big success. The Fight Cards feature is so much fun when a group of people get together as was the case last night. We ended up going for two and a half hours (I believe five total cards) and it was really enjoyable even in just watching the other fights. It turned out that there was overflow and not everyone could be involved on each card. To my surprise the Fight Card rooms allow for 10 people to be in but limit the card ...

EA Sports MMA Online Impressions
EA Sports MMA has some of the best online features of any sports game to date and has excellent online performance to go along with that. However the initial online base of players is notably lacking so the outlook going forward, as to whether there will be enough players to support the various experiences fully, becomes a bit of a concern.
