Evo Survey

Being a fighting game fan for many years of the fantasy genre, i.e. Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, I often wondered how well received the more real-life type of fighting games from EA Sports i.e. UFC, Fight Night, would be if they were brought into the Evolution (EVO) worldwide professional tournament. The thought being, these, by definition, are also fighting games and thus I'm sure have just as much of a fan and player following as the fantasy genre games do. Plus, with the the addition of the real-life fighters, the Evo tournaments, one would think, would have a much bigger draw of fans and competitors, both for professional competition and friendly matches if it included those games for those players and fans who don't necessarily care for the fantasy genre fighting games. With this in mind, I wanted to take a forum survey of those who wish to participate to give their thoughts either for or against the idea of adding the real-life fighters to the Evo roster of games.

  • Well i can say as person that participated in UFC3 cup back in 2019, and even reached the quarterfinals - that is possible. If there is a desire and willingness on the one hand from the publisher, and demand from the audience on the other. There are still some organizational issues to be resolved, as tournaments for individual players are more expensive to run than those for teams. It is also necessary to decide on the format of the tournament (offline, online, or mixed).

    But I can assure you that, as a participant, I had a lot of fun taking part in the offline tournament. Had a great time thou

    Fight night 2004, Round 2, 3 and 4, along with EA MMA and UFC undisputed could have been that. Those games were good to great. UFC 5 I can't see that happening. I don't think it would be pleasing to watch "THE WORLDS BEST" Spam clinch grapples, inside knees, takedowns, stamina drain glitches ect. In fact I would hate to see it because it would be one step foward, falling off a cliff, into a bottom less pit that lead to a garbage dump
