EA Sports UFC 2 Fighters Aren’t Satisfied With Their In-Game Models

February 29, 2016 by Ryan Parreno

Some of the Octagon’s hallowed fighters aren’t happy with how they look in EA Sports UFC 2.

Some of the Octagon’s hallowed fighters aren’t happy with how they look in EA Sports UFC 2.

EA Sports revealed that EA Sports UFC 2 would have a roster of a staggering 250 fighters. Now that the fighters themselves know that they will be part of the game, it turned out that some of the fighters are not happy with how they appear in the game. Considering they seem surprised with their depictions, it seems likely EA Sports passed over facial and/or performance capture in lieu of the developers creating likenesses for the athletes themselves.

Let’s run down each fighter and their complain about their portrayal.

Ruslan Magomedov is an up and coming Russian fighter born in Dargin. In spite of his complaints, Ruslan seems to take it in stride.

Tim Kennedy is a former military man and ranked number 7 in UFC’s middleweight division. He minces no words in what he found wrong in his depiction.

@EASPORTSUFC I would like to know what I did to make you mad at me? Beat you up in high school? #addmuscletomycharacter #myballsdropped

For reference, this is how Tim looks like in in-game renders.

‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings is an Australian native who most UFC fans may know from her appearance in The Ultimate Fighter. Bec compares her in-game render to another UFC competitor, Alexander Gustafsson.

Finally, Buffalo Grove’s Felice Herrig posted a picture of her in-game render on Instagram, again making comparisons to its appearance with other fighters.

Apparently this is my character in the new EA @ufc video game. I think it looks like me if I was Asian or a cross between me and @kailincurran @alienware @teamallmax @fuelmeals
