Game drops tomorrow.

Retail is harder than the demo.

The game is a lot more ratings based and the windows for reversals are a lot smaller depending on who you're fighting with. So if you're Melvin Manhoef fighting someone with a ground game like Shields or Jacare, you are pretty much fucked unless you catch your opponent slipping.

I'm disgusted that Kitaoka and Barnett have one of the lowest takedown ratings in the game considering they has one of the best takedowns in the business. It's damn near impossible to take someone down with them and I was really looking forward to using them, too.

Classic Bas is in the game.

They got the Japanese sense of judging down. I was dominating JZ Calvan as Alvarez for most of the first round, but Calvan started to turn the tide and was countering a lot and scoring takedowns. I won by split decision.

Online is very balanced, but everyone uses Fedor or Ubereem. No one has interest in lightweight.

I recalled getting bumrushed with an Uberknee and almost got KO'd, but couldn't recover from my shitty position and got pounded out.

Goddamn, I just ran into a suped up CAF. Why can't they have a setting so you don't run into these bastards? The messed up part is that you can't even see who your opponent has chosen until the very last second.

If you like MMA, you have to pick this game up. Or at the very least Gamefly (I think that's it) it.

I wish I had a TV Tuner because they save your most recent fights from beginning to end. But here are some saved highlights.

I do want to buy this just because of the roster, but I dont know how long the gameplay will keep me interested. I'm tired of spending all this money on games and never playing the shits, so I signed up for Gamefly just to find out afterwards that EA MMA is in low availability. So I guess that means it might not ship for a while? What a fuckin rip off of a service if so.

If they dont ship it tomorrow I'll probably just buy it I guess.
