After playing this for several months, it has absolutely won me over. I gave it a "middle of the road" review when I first got it, but let's be honest, I didn't have my timing down, familiarity w/ the controls, and other nuances that allow you to move ahead in the game, and dominate the AI.
The only thing I think EA could do w/ a minimal amount of effort, is throw in bruising, and blood, but it's still great!
Also, way too many bots, and no ability to “make friends” with other players, forcing you to use up credits to ask for other opponents, which turn out to be more bots, influencing the speed at which you’re able to defeat opponents, and level up, making the game monotonous, and the main reason after maxing out my fighters why I just don’t want to play it anymore.
Also, there are no more Head to Head matches, so buh-bye!
