I hope you know that I don't understand currency - I dropped Mathematics in Grade 9, and have never been very interested in it. You're speaking gibberish now, but don't worry, it's my limiting mind, and not your great one that's the problem here, LOL.

[Phoenix]

Okay then, whatever you said I'll just nod my head in agreement. 

[Phoenix]

Oh no, now I'm the dog! 

[Phoenix]

LOL, no worries.  I know what you meant.

news on the "E.A: MMA 2010" front - names already associated to be involved: Frank Shamrock (mentioned in the E3 presser) , Fedor Emelianenko and Gegard Mousasi (part of their recent U.S visit was a shoot for E.A)  Thats 2 of the 5 ppl I can't go w/out in the game! E.A head - Peter Moore was also in attendance at StrikeForce. Makes one feel bad for fighters in Undisputed - they're signed for game life (except Anderson Silva) and get nothing($) from it.

Q: The first thing I want to talk about is the announcement of a new franchise, EA Sports MMA. And I wanted to clear something up before I get into questions: THQ's license with UFC is exclusive through 2011, right?

Moore: I don't know what the terms of their deal are, and we obviously respect that, but there's a huge opportunity in a fast growing sport. We can bring the EA Sports style we have proven with things like Fight Night; we can focus on quality, investing in physics engines and getting the style and gameplay right. We recognize how important the UFC license, but it's not a barrier for entering long term. This is a long term commitment

Q: So what kind of complications does that create when you've got a league that's almost synonymous with the sport in the way people say Coke instead of soda or Kleenex instead of tissue?

Moore: For years, Konami challenged us with Pro Evo Soccer, with no licenses in some countries and a mix of generic and semi-licensed product and did it on gameplay. We've come back hard and started to dominate soccer. I don't see any reason why we can't build a challenger to the UFC license game. I recently attended a Strike Force card in San Jose -- 14,000 people, Showtime covering it live. UFC is an important part of the overall MMA scene, but there's room for a company like ourselves to come in and grow the overall pie. THQ probably would relish some competition because it would put even more spotlight on the sport.

Q: Have you guys taken a look at the THQ game to try and get a sense of what you can improve upon and get a leg up on the competition?

Moore: This is the latest in a number of UFC games. Our team that has been assembled that is working on this is made up of MMA fans. They get the sport, they're inside the culture, a number of them on the team train for it. We've also worked retroactively on the game. And yes, of course when the game shipped from THQ, we got the game, tore it apart to find what it should be and finding where we can make a difference. It won't work shipping our own version of Undisputed.

I'm just going to say what everyone else is thinking........female fighters *coughnamelyGinacough* for future MMA games.   

[Phoenix]

That would obviously be a very wise choice for the creators of the game, they'd be guaranteed more sales...

[krav dood]

Yeh, definately. The UFC is really missing out on that. Is it confirmed, btw, if Gina will or will not be in this EA game?

I hope so!  I'd love to kick ass with her online.   

[Phoenix]

I know I will. 

[krav dood]

I know I will. 

But of course.   

[Dante2230]

Yeh, me too I guess. I hope they will be able to make her Gina in the game and not just some good female fighter, you know what I mean?

Do you mean like her personality and fighting styles?

[Phoenix]

So basically what you're saying is just keep it true to her form. That's the best way to do it.

[Dante2230]

Yeah i don't think they would really change it either.

[Phoenix]

What Im saying is that in the UFC game you can see some different fighting styles but between fighters with the same kind of style (aka standup muay thai) you dont see a difference. And I think Gina has her own style, so I hope theyll copy that instead of making her a standard muay thai fighter. But of course, since Gina is very popular, they would be wise to spend some extra time on her character to get it just right

Oh I definitely agree with you.
