Strikeforce To Be Flagship Promotion For EA Sports MMA Video Game
Posted by Larry Csonka on 11.06.2009

All of the details inside…

According to MMAJunkie.com, EA Sports announced today that Strikeforce will be the dominant brand in its new MMA videogame, "EA Sports MMA," due out next year. While the agreement is not exclusive, the game will be heavily branded with the Strikeforce influence. This will include logos on the cage mat and the voices Frank Shamrock and Mauro Ranallo. It was also announced that Brett Rogers, Jake Shields and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal will join Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture on the "EA Sports MMA" roster.

EA Sports has been developing the title for the two years. The game will play on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 but will not be available on Nintendo's Wii when it's introduced. Dale Jackson, EA Sports' executive producer of the MMA title also stated that the authenticity of each fighter's unique fighting style and movements differentiates the game from other MMA titles. Also, the company has spent a lot of time customizing individual fighter movements in an effort to deliver real fight play.

Yeah, that was Dana's reason for saying he wouldn't do business with anybody appearing in ea's game

It doesnt matter,Dana has the money,the power,and the women.

Whoever owns EA has more of that. DW doesn't even own the UFC, he's just the president. And EA is definitely the bigger company.

It's bad enough having to hear the same canned Goldberg/Rogan comments, Frank Shamrock and Mauro Ranallo will keep me from buying this game.
