Nope, any ole pic will do. Just take a phot of yourself and upload to ea website. Then you can download it while in the game menu. You can go one better and take a side shot of your face as well and use both photos for a better face model.

Yep now i definetley can't wait for this game!

Dav, did you get the game yet to try out or will you only be sent that after the release date?

Got confirmation from a Dev on ea forums that you can spectate other peoples fights. Not only that, but you can set up a private card where a bunch of us could go to fight. We would all be watching the exact same thing, each others fights until it was your time to fight. You can also access the replays and highlights of your last 5 fights and upload them to EA's website.

I think this is so class! We tried a tourney of Undisputed 2009 on PS3 when it first came out but was so hard to organise, between lag and people not around at certain times. With this tho, you could pick a night and get up to 10 people to take part in fights while the others watch and judge you (then slag you on Boards!)

Definitely wanna get a tourney up and running a few weeks after its release!

It a be kool if 3 of the guys watching could judge it too but suppose that would lead to favourtism and a whole host of others problems but the game seems to be shaping up nicely

I've been told today that my review copy is on it's way along with my copy of Medal of Honor on PC I should have it today or tomorrow I think.

That would be a brilliant idea! Like if you could just invite friends only to judge, they should have that in the next game!

EA are holding a live launch event at 2am. You can watch on ustream and chat with devs. Fedor & Jacare will be there apparently.

The NDA (I think thats what it's called) was lifted yesterday so reviews should start pouring in soon. Here is one from Joystiq although Gametrailers is the one I trust most.

score:

4/5

Another review - Gamepro

http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/216960/ea-sports-mma-review/

In other news, THQ & UFC extend their deal to 2018. EA said they would be interested in teaming up with the UFC brand and replace THQ but looks like this is out the window now. Both companies will release a game every 2 years. Next games from THQ and EA will be out 2012.

Would have been better if they released games on alternating years so we could have best of both worlds but this should really push THQ to put out a quality product in 2012.

Well, I finally got my own review copy today (Xbox) and there was a PS3 version thrown in too. Now normally, I'd consider doing a competition to give it out, but I think given how much he seems to be looking forward to it, I'm going to post this out to our man sheehy83 here to do a review for us all. With a bit of luck this won't be the last time I have an opportunity to do something like this for you guys.

DeVore and I will be getting stuck into it on Thursday when we both have the evening off (which translates as "we're less mental busy that night and we're already doing something else together so we'll do this too " If I have time tonight, I'll get stuck in and post first impressions tomorrow.

In the mean time, here's a video that came with my review copy which I think pretty much explains what all this is about.

Here is IGN's review:

IGN - http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1128966p2.html

OXM review - http://www.oxmonline.com/article/reviews/xbox-360/a-f/ea-sports-mma

Both reviews suggest this being better than Unisputed 2010. Good news but really wouldn't be that hard!

Oh and here's a great vid of Randy playing the game against Fedor with Big John at a Gamestop launch. Fedor looks like he well getting into it!

Hey Neil, you should know that a lot has been fixed in the main game since the demo (dev said 100's of fixes)

Yea I read that on a different MMA site. The game was getting slated on account of the demo, but a few people added in that the main game is a lot better?

I was reading the same and will gladly (hopefully) confirm when mr. postman delivers my copy!

Don't really agree with Computer & Videogames review. They say

Undisputed 2010 is a better game because more known fighters, better commentary & better presentation. Thats great an all but absolutely useless if it takes me 6 months to complete career mode because its so frustrating and boring. Gameplay has to come first. Most reviews are complaining that EA is lacking well known (ufc) fighters but ea's official site has fighter share up and running and some class caf's made so far or Velasquez, Lesnar and Mir. Gameface helps!

Lads, sorry for spamming this board altogether but just keep hearing about cool features.

Online fight cards.

Create a public or private fight card - max of 4 or 5 fights. Give the card a name and invite friends or wait for public to join.

Will be like watching a live card of fights until it is your turn to play. Not only this but it has open chat so everyone can chat before, during and after fights. This would be very class to taunt your opponent or have spectators slagging your fighting. One of the lads with the game confirmed this but I def want to try this myself to confirm. Oh also, no complaints of lag yet and if you quit the fight, you get a DNF record.

A boardsies fight nite would be kool

Oh yes! I wonder do we all have to have the same console? I think it would be simply amazing if PS3 and XBox peeps could fight one another, but there are many technical and political reasons why this may never be so.

That would be perfect, could have a proper PS3 vs Xbox thing going. I just hope enough people get it for PS3 so I can be in a tourney.

You can also watch back the last 5 full fights from anyone who has played online as to see what way they fight. If a tourney did happen, you could easily watch back the fights, take a vid of them on a camera and post it here.

I'm on xbox myself.
Cud do boardsies(ala ufc primetime),build up to the fights in advance

Just got around to playing the full game now (my Xbox got the the 3 red rings last week and only got a loan of another Xbox today) I have to say it's a lot better then I thought it was going to be, the career mode is good (Im a big Bas fan) so i'm loving it so far. The game play is a lot better then the demo but I think it will be like the rest of the MMA and boxing games for me and i can see myself playing it like crazy for a week or so and never playing it again. I'm not a big fan of online play so I wont get any use out of that. Only played for about 2 hours but I am happy with it so far. Hope you guys enjoy it.

PS, you can fight out of Dublin Ireland. Also when you fight with Japanese rules you can use the soccer kicks and face stomps plus Lenne Hardt is the ring announcer!
