EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[CaptainZombie]

I stopped playing this back in late November as I got sidetracked by other releases and ended up trading it in. Did the patch fix a lot with the stand up game and stamina. I've been playing UFC last few weeks and just feel career is kind of blah which I liked EA MMA's better believe it or not.

Too bad a second patch wasn't on the way from reading around.

Patch was a waste of time in my opinion. They need to seriously remove buttons online. I quit playing the game because online is filled with nothing but button spammers now. No point in even playing it online.

Against another stick user the game is extremely balanced, but against a button user. They have a speed advantage which makes spam a very deadly tool.

Sucks too bc its such an easy fix. Split the stick & buttons config users online.

Did the patch do anything for the offline game?

I don't believe capt. But I am more a online player so my time with it offline was limited.

It sure is, but Animtor acted as if nothing was wrong. So they basically did not even see a problem which is crazy.

That stinks that he acted like there was no problem because they have something decent going here with this title. I guess they see the sim crowd as a small one when compared to those that want to button mash, so they do not care and would rather appease the button mashers. A system where being able to choose between buttons and TPC would have been nice.

Well I got the game like 4 days early and played it for a nice stretch online. What happened is at the beginning there was tons of stick users. Then slowly people started to find out about the exploit of buttons and the speed advantage. Then this is where the trouble started. Stick users then started moving to the buttons just to be able to compete. Now you have way guys using buttons just because it is the only way to somewhat compete with the spam.

No matter what people adapt. So even if they completely removed buttons. People would learn to adapt and play with the sticks.
