Check out the trailer for the upcoming EA Sports MMA video game. The trailer aired live on the Strikeforce CBS broadcast and appropriately features Brett Rogers vs. Fedor Emelianenko. As far as graphics go, the game looks tremendous. The action sequences feature takedowns, strikes, an arm bar, and a muay thai clinch. This is the first visual taste gamers have gotten at EA’s new venture. The game is scheduled for a 2010 release.

The game will be co-headlined by Fedor and UFC superstar, Randy Couture. Couture signed the deal with EA while he was in a self-imposed retirement. Other confirmed and rumored fighters in the game include; King Mo, Jay Hieron, Nick Diaz, Frank Shamrock, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arolvski, Renato Sobral, Mayhem Miller, Robbie Lawler, Gegard Mousasi, and BenjI Radach. Mauro Ranallo and Frank Shamrock will be the announcers for the game.

The obvious competition for the game is UFC Undisputed. As successful as UFC Undisputed was, it was also disappointing for many UFC fans. There are several immediate improvements EA can make over THQ which would immediately win them some of Undisputed gamers. One thing EA is known for is their online and DLC features. THQ dropped the ball big time in both areas and better step it up in the next game, or they could find themselves tapping out to EA Sports.
