EA Sports' attempt at planting its own MMA sim opposite the UFC titles. The combat system is solid and the cage atmosphere convincing, but content stays limited and the franchise never had time to establish itself properly.
A mixed martial arts simulation from EA Sports, EA Sports MMA offers realistic cage fights blending striking, ground wrestling and submissions, with a control system designed to convey the discipline's technicality. The fidelity to MMA mechanics, the tension of the bouts and the career mode win over fans of the sport. The steep learning curve and the closure of online servers weigh on it. A title for mixed martial arts devotees and fans of realistic combat simulation.
