Press Row Podcast: EA Sports UFC 2 Review Roundtable
EA Sports UFC 2 is undeniably a stronger product than the company’s first two efforts at the sport of MMA that released in 2010 and 2014. From the Knockout Physics System and KO Mode to new controls for transitions and the introduction of Ultimate Team there’s a lot there to be evaluated. While much of what has been done is positive there’s also submissions proving to be a non-factor and a disappointing Career Mode to consider. How does the product stand on its own, a...

Review of EA Sports UFC 2
The first big sports game release of 2016 is here with EA Sports UFC 2.

Ultimately what it comes down to is the game this time around better respects the s...

EA Sports UFC 2 Knockout Montage
With EA Sports UFC 2 out now with the trial through EA Access, areas of the game that were unreachable in last month's beta can now be played.
