Earlier today EA Sports revealed plans for Fight Night Champion next year, but let's not forget the publisher has a combat sports title coming out this year - EA Sports MMA, whose career mode is showcased in 17 new screens.
Career mode will incorporate the game's international motif, so you won't just be fighting in Brazil, Thailand or the U.S. according to MMA rules and rings there, you can train in those locations as well. Big names like Randy Couture Bas Rutten, Rickson Gracie and pat Miletich will be represented in the game as trainers.
In career mode players will pick the techniques they want to learn and improve and then practice them in drills, which should both improve your fighter's attributes as well as tutor you in effective fighting.
EA Sports MMA will be released Oct. 19 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Fuck this game. When UFC undisputed came out these guys were talking crap about the UFC and MMA in general and were saying it wasn't a sport. Funny how UFC did so well in sales and now EA wants to make an MMA game...
