It's only two months until the highly anticipated EA Sports UFC 2 hits the shelves and new details are slowly starting to emerge from the game.
The
cinematic first trailer for the release got gamers across the globe excited and a new one is set to be released soon.
This came after MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn made the revelation that CM Punk (aka Phil Brooks) would be included as a playable character in the game despite the fact he has still not made his professional MMA debut. Unsurprisingly, this made
a lot of people very mad.
Bohn then dropped another nugget of information about Punk's likeness in the game.

To put that into context, a 85 rating puts Brooks on a par with Martin Kampmann and Francis Carmont, while he's rated just one behind Mark Hunt and Ross Pearson from the previous instalment in the series.
These ratings are based on the real life fighters' striking, grappling, and submission ability - which makes one wonder how the developers managed to rate Punk at all.
Either way, a character's rating on a game seems like a trivial thing to get upset over. That doesn't mean people haven't been doing just that, based on this response from the former WWE superstar.

In his defence, Bruce Lee was rated quite highly in the last game despite having never fought in a single UFC bout.
