EA Sports have confirmed their choices of cover athlete for EA MMA - the inaugural MMA game due for later this year. In his keynote address, president Peter Moore confirmed that "Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture" will represent the game. Moore didn't stop there, going on to confirm a brand new feature that we hope will eventually be added to the entire EA Sports portfolio - "Live Broadcast".
In order to generate a following online, players will be able to create their own hype videos. If selected to appear in a Live Broadcast, these videos are going to play pre-fight. I saw one video that a father filmed for his online character. The video featured his son talking massive amounts of smack to the opponent in various spots around the house. It was made all the cuter by the fact that his son was around four years old and the video contained plenty of bleeps to cover up supposed swear words. The point is that players can put whatever they want in these videos (no obscene content, of course) to bring out their MMA character and win over fans. All you need to do is film yourself being ridiculous, upload it to EA Sports' website and you're good to go. |
