FranchisePlay has posted their interview with EA Sports UFC Director, Brian Hayes. They talk about the addition of Bruce Lee, 1-Punch KOs, Fight Night and more.

I listened to the entire interview...... There really wasn't any new information at all. The interviewer asked about demo details and game mode details and stuff like that but Brian responded with the "can't talk about that yet" to just about everything. The interview really wasn't worth the 27 minutes. Here are the key points I took from it, to save you the time.....

-Gameface included
-DLC will be included (No specifics on what or who or when)
-EA hasn’t settled on a demo release date yet
-One punch knockouts will be factor based (Fighter ratings, level of stamina, position, etc). Extremely unlikely to see a weak striker win by one punch knockout.

Agreed. Nothing to see here.

There are some things we will have to wait it seems to find out about. Specifically about the submission system,the clinch system, the parry system etc. Just going to have to wait until the demo drops it seems to get any real sort of information or gameplay.

For those of you that aren't aware...

The only questions that are allowed to be asked are about features that have already been announced. They can't share everything, yet. Every once in a while you get a little nugget here and there.

Another thing. While most of the hardcore OS guys already know about the things mentioned in this interview, there are many that don't even know the game exists, or Bruce Lee is involved in any way.

I totally understand the frustration though, but you have to keep it in perspective. I've asked plenty of questions, but if they can't be answered, there is no need to throw up an interview that has a bunch of "I can't answer that right now" or "We will reveal something about that soon" type of stuff.

So nothing about GM Mode then I'm assuming. EA pls

Why does it seem like EA is hiding this game? Why not show us but 1 trailer when the game is coming out in 2 months? Show us some gameplay, I'm tired of screenshots.

There have been 3 trailers. The Show Ps4 is coming out in a little over two weeks and there have been 2 trailers and only about 2 minutes of actual gameplay shown.

EA UFC is 2 months away. Thats not hiding the game. Its called a marketing plan/rollout.
