14 DAY TRIAL // Peter Moore, the president of EA Sports, introduced three games with Electronic Arts' E3 2010 press briefing earlier today: EA Sports MMA, EA Sports Active 2 and Madden NFL 11. Gameplay videos of all three titles were shown, detailing various features. Generally speaking, Peter Moore boasted that his company would aggressively add and promote online features to its software and continue to innovate, making the control scheme accessible and deep.
EA Sports MMA was the first title to be showcased during the conference. Its cover will feature both Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko, both of whom will also be playable characters. Every fighter in the game is accurately modeled after their real-life counterpart, taking into account their fighting styles.
The title will be easy to control and will allow players to effortlessly execute the moves they want. Moore says that the fighting engine of the game has been the most advanced ever made. EA Sports MMA takes into account that it is representing an international sport and it will allow fighting to take place in lots of locations around the world, not only in US arenas, with rules and combatants that are specific to those areas.
EA Live Broadcast is a new online feature that will be present for the time being only in EA Sports MMA and it will allow players to create a fighter using their own face, record a video to intimidate their opponents and compete in virtual fighting arenas that will be broadcast live to consoles and PCs.
EA Sports Active 2 was also presented and was advertised as expanding the game in every way, bringing wireless control, online features, new and more accurate technology in biometrics and going multi-platform. A Kinect-compatible Xbox 360 version was also officially announced and demoed live on-stage. The owners of the game will be able to track their progress everywhere they go, as everything they do in-game will be uploaded to an online profile.
Madden NFL 11 also made an appearance at EA's conference, vaunting a slew of new features for the series from the three-versus-three competitive multiplayer to the new Game-flow system that allows American football fans to create their own plays and easily modify them as the game goes on. Joe Montana, a retired famous American footballer, was present on stage and explained some of the features of the new Madden, as he was also EA Sport's official consultant for the title.
