UFC 2009 Undisputed

[Terra Ryzin]

i am a fucking beast online with hendo. i love all the kids who use silva a get pissed everytime i counter their head kicks with a takedown then pound the hell out of them on the ground

[CSL]

Yeah, I always use Bisping and a lot of my fights have been wins against guys fighting as Silva. Not lost to him once. Yet the one time I used him (against Bisping coincidentally) I got KTFO

[Vastardikai]

funnies moment for me:

I KO Stephan Bonner with a head kick during a career. Bonner lands face up at the feet of Steve Mazzagati. Steve drops to a knee and waves off the fight. It looks for all the world like he's teabagging Bonner in the process. I so wish I had a pic of it.

[Fox]

Had an epic 10-fight war against some random dude last night. We both remained the same fighters throughout; I was Rampage and he was Silva. Ended at 6/4, my lead as I GNP'd his face into oblivion the last two fights since the dumb bastard wouldn't stop using the same combination - leg kick, leg kick, head kick. So I'd take the two leg kicks and shoot for the single leg while he went for the kick, take down to half-past guard position, GNP. Awesome night.

If only my roommates would get the fuck off the TV so I can play.

[thecc]

Yeah, fuck. How the hell am I supposed to rear naked choke people in round 3? That means that not only do I have to beat him down without KOing him all the way to the third, but I've gotta pass his guard (easy enough) and he has to try to roll over while I block him from getting guard again and then get the submission (highly unlikely).get into mount and when he transitions you can choke him out.

[The Mask]

christ i really want to play this :(

[Anybody Thrilla]

Knocked out Brock Lesnar in the second round to become the heavyweight champion. He took me down a couple times, but I somehow managed to get out of it both times, which was a shock to me (and I'm sure the audience as well). It was truly magical. Frank Mir is my first challenger, and I'm scared.

[Blitz]

Was sort of half aware of this, thread got me hyped, DL'ing demo.

[Blitz]

Yep prolly gonna have to buy this.

for the best success at hwt.... dodge mir, nog and lesnar like the plague

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So I'm to the point I'm taking all comers (yes, Rashad too). 29 and 0, Dana just told me I'm going into the HoF. I've tapped Rampage, Machida and Evans, my last fight is in 8 weeks against Rampage.

[Destor]

how do you get into the HoF?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Not entirely sure, but I have a ton of fight of the night trophies, a bunch of knockout of the night trophies, my striking trophy, I'm the champ, and undefeated. So I think it's a combination of accolades and win steaks.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Plus probably cred plays into it also I'm guessing.

[D Mac]

how do you get into the HoF?

I think you have to complete level 3 of both of your techniques. Striking and Grappling.

[Disturbed316]

Still haven't made anyone submit yet other than my sparring partner :$

[Fignuts]

FUCK YEAH
Rematch with koscheck and I knocked the fucker out. First round was very close, but I think I won it, as I stuffed 3 of his 4 takedown attempts, and quickly got out of the forth one, and was dropping bombs on him all round. Second, he started beating the shit out of me, and even had me rocked at one point, but I got out of it. The head kicks started to take their toll tho, and once I got back up to standing, I knocked him out.

Matt Hughes for the title was next, and I fully expected to lose. Almost did in the first round. He was at full mount and pounding the shit out of me, and rocked me. Just as I was about to get out of it, he caught me again, and rocked me. Then he went for the sub, and was about to tap me out, when the bell rang. Soooooooooo lucky there, as one second more, and I prolly would have tapped.

Second round was all me. Blocked all his takedowns, and was hitting him with punches and head kicks all over the place. Good thing huges' stand up sucks. Third round was the same, and I knocked him out.

I am now beginning the process of avoiding GSP for the rest of my career.

[Funky Fly]

get into mount and when he transitions you can choke him out.
... that's what I just said. It's not easy to counter that though. Usually ends up rolling back into guard.
how do you get into the HoF?
Not sure. I got it being 30-4 with 9 KO of the night trophies, 5 Fight of the night trophies, all of the win streak trophies and the title.
I think you have to complete level 3 of both of your techniques. Striking and Grappling.
Nope. I didn't have level 3 on either of them.

[The Mask]

QUICK Q GUYS. what do you have, PS3 or XBOX? i am gonna buy one on the back of this and gta4 so i would like to see which is the most popular so i can thrash you all at some later date.

[D Mac]

PS3 version of this, although I have both systems.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

360

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Lads this game is pretty average. Once you get over how it looks, the fact it's a good attempt at a UFC game, it's not worth buying. It would work as a boxing game, but the ground game clearly isn't finished. They've got on a good idea, but it isn't ready. When you take someone down it is far too unresponsive and based too much on luck on hitting the R3 rotating. The clinch and the ground game should be a serious button bashing battle, but they're both a matter of pretty much luck, they're too static. Maybe it's impossible to do that properly in a game, but maybe you shouldn't make a UFC game then? You can just hammerfist or punch a guy repeatedly with no stoppage, because the ground game is so static. It's punch-punch-punch, attempt transition, maybe it comes off. Pretty poor. The clinch is pathetic, not even worth talking about. You should be able to clinch a guy against the side and spend an entire round trying to land 3-4 clean punches or knees.

Flash knock-outs are fucking awful (I say this in favour or against me, I always feel short-changed). They happen far too often, better would be if the timing of a punch had the "rocked" animation much more often, rather than straight knock-outs. Right, if a guy steps in to an uppercut and gets knocked out, fine, but when a jab randomly chins a guy to death it's just stupid.

Majorly disappointed in this game after the demo. It's a boxing game dressed up as UFC, regret buying it.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Oh yeah, major thing about this game: so sloooooow.

[redoneja]

I completely agree ECG. I was about to post that I played the games for a few hours with a buddy of mine and I was really disappointed in it. I mean, it's a decent game, but nothing special. I think the ground game controls are intuitive but really lacking. Jujitsu overall is lacking tbh.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

You guys are entitled to your opinion but i've finally gotten the hang of the ground game (two weeks and some change of work) and it's incredibly intuitive. One you learn the motions, and have the rotations of the analog stick committed to memory, as well as what transitions to what, what technical counters can transition to what, it's incredibly responsive and eep.

[Destor]

There is not luck to the ground game if you are good at it both offensively and defensively.

[Funky Fly]

QUICK Q GUYS. what do you have, PS3 or XBOX? i am gonna buy one on the back of this and gta4 so i would like to see which is the most popular so i can thrash you all at some later date.
Get a 360. The majority of us have that system. Plus more games, plus backward compatibility with some XBox 1 games means Shenmue 2. Plus GTA4 has dextra downloadable content only available on the 360.

Majorly disappointed in this game after the demo. It's a boxing game dressed up as UFC, regret buying it.

Flash KOs seem a little too random, I've seen guys survive seemingly endless combos of flush hits and other go down from a random jab. The ground game takes time. Once you learn it, It's actually pretty deep. The mothions are a little trcky at first, but it's not random luck. Good luck trying to submit someone like Machida or Rashad Evans. Someone like Lesnar will be all too quick to tap out though.

There is not luck to the ground game if you are good at it both offensively and defensively.
Basically.

[Fignuts]

Also, fighter attributes play a large part in flash KO's and ground game.

[Reavant]

The only way I can see anyone having a gripe with the ground game or clinch is if they are not good at it and cant do anything when the fight goes there.

I agree about the flash KOs. I an a wizard on the ground in terms of transitions and ground and pound, but i cant for the life of me submot a guy and if i try to wear him down i end up knocking him out.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

The only real gripe I have about the ground game right now is that I can't for the life of me escape the back mount. I try to do the minor/major transitions, but it's not doing anything. Any particular direction I'm supposed to be doing to get out or do I just do all the ones I can before I get screwed and get tapped out?

I've lost 4 matches and countless sparring sessions because I can't out :mad:

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I guessed the first response would be "you aren't good at the ground game." It's the bit I've concentrated on the most, I appreciated the idea off using the right stick and the system in place, I just don't think it's finished. Maybe next year the game will be worth buying.

There are a few other stupid things in the game, like your career guy never changing his age. Would it not be sensible to start with quite high stamina/speed/cardio, maybe choosing one to be your main attribute, then concentrate mainly on building skills? Then as you get older, your physical attributes tail off and you have to rely on your skills i.e. change your game? There's very little depth to the career in this sense and all the sponsorship and Cred nonsense is just annoying, really.

[redoneja]

My main concern with the ground game isn't the control response, it's the lack of depth.

[The Destroyer]

Just got my arse handed to me by Tito Ortiz. :(

Totally outclassed me on the ground and kept taking me down, so I wasn't able to make it a stand up fight as I usually like it.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

My main concern with the ground game isn't the control response, it's the lack of depth.

Well that's one of my gripes too, as I say. Punch-punch-punch transition, punch-punch-punch transition, block or reverse transition. Ground and pound until round finishes or knock-out occurrs. The beatings you can deal out on the ground is ludicrous because there is very little actual grappling.

Submissions aren't great either. Clicking a button and then only getting it if your opponent is pathetic at submission defence and beat to shit doesn't really cover it. That should be a truly button-bashing moment, submissions can also happen any time in a match, not only knock-outs.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The lack of long hair is shit too, I wanted to put together a Steve Seagal character.

[The Destroyer]

Long hair caused them clipping problems.

My career is heading down the toilet, any time I take on a fighter in the top 10 of the rankings, I get absolutely killed. :( Gone from 7-1-0 to 8-4-0.

[Ogen]

Oh ffs I'm never trying to save money again, normally I laugh at people who are tiught cunts and go shopping around to save a fiver or something. THen I go and order this off some shit cunt internet cunts instead of buying it in the shop so I coudl get it cheaper. And is it here today as I start a bank holiday weekend? No, no it is not.

[Ogen]

And I've just read what ECG said about it and now aniticipate not even liking it all that much since I've not even got the being a UFC fan to fall back on.

Mask get a 360 though so I can beat you in this whilst abusing you verbally.

[The Mask]

i have sort of solid 7-9/10 hopes for this game. i think the real gem will be getting to knock your mates out, or baird. no doubt he'll try and ground and pound me though, the big gay scotsman.

[Ogen]

I look forward to playing Baird, I see him online often but I've never had a game hes had I don't think.

[Disturbed316]

Hahaha just knocked some jobber out in seven seconds. Left head kick, followed by a right head kick and the lights went out.

[Danny Electric]

Picked this up yesterday and just started my career, 4-0 so far. Really enjoying it as well.
Need to try and get to jist more with the ground game, had fun on one round just moving into different transitions.
From what I've read though, once you learn the game properly it can be a really complex fighting game.

[The Mask]

so i went and bought a 360 and this game WOO. got the game second hand cause all the brand new ones were sold out, so woo again cause i saved money. i won the heavyweight title today and i've defended it well so far. i've not really struggled particularly with anyone, although a few times i stepped up too early or took fights at short notice i shouldn't have.

my gripes mainly are the amount of menus and loading you have to go through to do something as pointless as putting sponsers on your shorts, and the training camp tasks lark. tried about a billion times to do a jab/uppercut combo and succeeded plenty yet it never seems to flash up. another annoying thing is how my dickhead sparring partner never tries to take it to the ground where i could learn something.

anyway, hot tip for you all, you can bang the same sponsors logo all over your shorts and you'll get cred for every one. so if you just plaster thq logos all over your shorts early on you'll get 350 cred every fight.

also it is annoying how bad muay thai sucks early on considering you have to do the dickhead training camp to improve and get new moves that can actually do some damage.

[The Mask]

son of a bitch. retirement match and i was on a 13 match run or something and fucking brock lesnar KO'd me cause i was trying to get a submission :'( fucks sake.

[Innovator]

AND YOU DIDNT TURN THE 360 OFF?

[CSL]

FINALLY won the Heavyweight title with my 3rd shot. Dismantled Frank Mir in 2 rounds

[Destor]

AND YOU DIDNT TURN THE 360 OFF?That would be gay

[The Destroyer]

Grrr, I totally dominated Rashad Evans in my first shot at the Light Heavyweight Title, and he blasted me out of nowhere for a cheap KO. Git.

[Disturbed316]

God my lightweight career has gone to shit, was 13-0-0 and then lost four on the trot due to shitty submission and cheap ko's, making me drop real far down the rankings with only two years left to go after the title :mad:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Beginners should go to middleweight IMO. Just stay away from Silvas clinch and you should have no worries :D

[The Mask]

honestly didn't find heavyweight all that hard. think i had 6 losses but most were early on and one was that fucking scabby brock lesnar ko. i bet you get a different ending if you still have the belt too. cunts.

[The Mask]

so i decide to give kenny florian a title shot and KO the bastard like a motherfucker. went in with a spinning punch thingy which he blocked, kick the the head, dead. 7 seconds.

also bjj camp can go fuck itself. this game needs more compliant sparring partners for that shit. or you have them perform the technique you want them to do, or start in the position you need to be. just ridiculous trying to level up.

[Funky Fly]

Nice tip on the logos. You know you can hard install the game to you hard drive to reduce load times a little. Your 360 won't sound like a vacuum cleaner when it's in either.

[The Mask]

really? thats pretty sweet.

another tip i just found. if you go to the same training camp 5 times you get their logo to bang on their shorts, which is worth 80 cred each, so plaster them all over and you get 800 cred each fight for that alone.

[Funky Fly]

Sexy.

[Reavant]

If you go through the career mode once and unlock all the 80 level cred logos you can then create a new fighter not in career mode and then put all the logos on the shorts, then you can import him into career mode and he keeps the shorts and you can have up to possibly 880 cred points from your shorts in your first match. you get the extra 80 if you use an 80 level sponsored shorts like warrior or sprawl shorts.

[Reavant]

You can go undefeated easily at heavyweight if you dodge lesnar nogiera and mir until your built up enough to fight them. Nogiera is the easier of the three if you have to fight one early.

[The Mask]

do you guys know which camps are easiest for certain disciplines? been doing kickboxing with team militant and it's a piece of piss. tried it with the gracie camp and it was fucking shit.

[The Mask]

god i love this game. anyway, just ran though a whole career in one night :$ light heavyweight with a mighty 34-0-0 record. picked the highest cred fights every time and ended up with something like 140000 by the end. you unlock an achievement over 100000 by the looks of it. just before my last match they decided to induct me in the hall of fame which is nice. also finished off my wrestling to level 3 on the very last training camp.

btw i recommend american top team for wrestling stuff because 9/10 of the tasks are easy enough usually.

got the elusive submission of the night too after tito ortiz grounded me only for me to slap a guillotine on the cheeky fuck about 34 seconds into the match. WOO.

and to top it all off in my last fight (and tenth against rashad) i knocked him out in 17 seconds and also unlocked another achievement cause i dodged his only attack before levelling him. i would like to think it was the MC hammer award.

[Disturbed316]

Just finished off my lightweight career, ended up being pretty good in the end. Finished with the title, on a ten fight streak and ended with a record of 26-8-0. No HoF though, and still haven't been able to get anyone to submit yet :mad:

Also, I saw something flash up on screen that I have no idea what it is. After I got about 85k cred it said Punkass was unlocked. Anyone know what it is?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Punkass is one of the hidden Tapout fighters

[Disturbed316]

Ah right, what other fighters are there to unlock?

[The Mask]

i seem to get most of my submissions from sprawling or guillotine when they're in closed guard, the more unsuspected kind of thing.

[Ogen]

Still hasn't been fecking delieverd yet. I'm never trying to save any money again.

[CSL]

KO'd Big Nog in 15 seconds. Retirement fight is up next :( Brock was ranked #2 and I haven't fought him before so I figured I'd 'give him the shot'. Should be fun

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Ah right, what other fighters are there to unlock?

Mask & Skyscrape

They're all rubbish tbf

[Reavant]

btw i recommend american top team for wrestling stuff because 9/10 of the tasks are easy enough usually.

.

There are three sets of tasks in each level of the camps.... the tasks never change camp to camp. Once you go through all three and you havnt leveled up yet, they cycle back to the first one.

[Reavant]

submit 3 guys in a row in career to unlock mask and press up, down, down, down, left, right, up, start at the title menu to unlock skyscrape

[Reavant]

what i dont get is that the tapout crew have their hats and hair to play with but they couldnt figure out clay guida's hair?

[The Mask]

There are three sets of tasks in each level of the camps.... the tasks never change camp to camp. Once you go through all three and you havnt leveled up yet, they cycle back to the first one.

are you sure? honestly att was pretty easy, i got like at least 5 or 6, the gracie one killed me and i only got one, never saw any of the tasks again once i swapped back too.

[Reavant]

do the same camp and never change... the tasks are always the same 3

[Reavant]

the task sets get harder and harder as you level up... thats why one camp seemed easy while the next one was hard

[The Mask]

i know that :D but i did TM and then gracie and then TM again and i did notice a difference. i like tm anyway, it has the coolest logo for my kecks.

[The Mask]

also i know you have to flick the RS to stop them transitioning when you're in the mount but how do you have to time it cause i can never get the fucker to work and always have to reverse back from when i have their back.

[Destor]

I always just click the right stick with the right timing to counter to a submision, way easy imo.

[The Mask]

usually by that time i am out of stamina from pounding faces and i generally dont load up on submission offense anyway. but yes, i have tried that now and then.

[Destor]

LOL, I thought you meant when you were mounted...

[Destor]

I just just trust my instincts

[Destor]

or in the first split second of the annimation

[Reavant]

ive stoped them from rolling over by a well timed punch to the face

[Reavant]

i know that :D but i did TM and then gracie and then TM again and i did notice a difference. i like tm anyway, it has the coolest logo for my kecks.

I thought there was too until I played through career mode again trying to unlock other camps and all the tasks were the same. Plus if you jump around camp to camp yuou never unlock their logos

[Kalyx triaD]

Made a character and went straight online for three bouts (2 player, one ranked). Won the player matches (TKO, and a Submission) but lost the ranked to a submission dude. Nice online set up.

[Disturbed316]

Haven't tried online yet, think I'll wait for the patch to come out first before I jump in. Currently tearing up the middleweight division, currently 18-0-0, champion since 10-0-0 and halfway through my autobiography.

[Kalyx triaD]

Online is decent enough. Because of the pace of the matches, you don't need a perfect connection (maybe for those clinch counters).

BTW:

When is TPWW gonna rumble?

[The Mask]

whats this autobiography lark? havent heard of it yet. is it cause i always fuck the sponsers off?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, it's one of the later sponsorship offers and you have to do the earlier ones before getting it.

[The Mask]

do you get anything but cred for it?

[Ogen]

Just arrived home to see this here. Who wants to be beaten up EoghanMurphy21 live tag

[The Destroyer]

That sounds like a challenge.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm good sometime later, no promises.

[Disturbed316]

do you get anything but cred for it?

Nope.

Its done over five weeks and you get 1200 cred for each part you do.

Totally walking over the middleweight division at the moment currently up to 26-0-0, and FINALLY got a victory by submission. Figured out my technique so hopefully I can work towards getting that submission of the night award.

[Reavant]

whats your technique for submissions?

[Disturbed316]

Laying the controller flat on my hand and then whirl RS with my other hand. Thats about it really :S

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Really? I just get their stamina down with slams and then lock it in and smash the buttons, I don't touch the stick.

[The Mask]

i read twirling the stick works better if you have high sub offense but if you don't but you have high strength then button mashing works better. dunno though tbh, i usually just mash cause i can do that way easier than twirling.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm a twirler.

[Reavant]

i try to twirl and mash buttons at the same time

[Reavant]

hasnt worked out so well :-\

[The Mask]

i just came up with the perfect twirling method. just beat #2 rank nate marquart or wahtever he's called by submission in 39 seconds of the first round. WOO.

not gonna tell you what it is though in case i ever face any of you online :cool:

[Funky Fly]

Speaking of online, you cunt, what is your gamertag? :'(

[The Mask]

i will let you know later (H) my xbox live card came today so i will set it up after midnight and sort it all out. is it difficult or a piece o' piss?

[Kalyx triaD]

Easy as pie.

[Reavant]

i just came up with the perfect twirling method. just beat #2 rank nate marquart or wahtever he's called by submission in 39 seconds of the first round. WOO.

not gonna tell you what it is though in case i ever face any of you online :cool:

dont have xbox live.... thus PM me

[Disturbed316]

Finished off my middleweight career, ended up retiring undefeated and getting HoF status, missed out on the wrestling trophy by two points and sub trophy, otherwise I would have got the lot :(

Started up my heavweight career and have goine 17-0-0. Managed to get sub of the night in my second fight and KO in my next, but have so far not managed to get fight of the night, seems alot harder to get on heavyweight.

[Kalyx triaD]

You have a middleweight. Good, I was afraid nobody had one for me to fight.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, I think he's my best out of all my CAFs. We should rumble soon. Finally got a Fight of the night award after schooling Frank Mir, got my wrestling trophy too, so fingers crossed I have the whole lot come retirement.

[The Mask]

i get fight of the night at really weird times. like if i dominate a guy in 30 seconds or something. yet if i have a 4 round masterpiece nobody wants to know.

[Disturbed316]

Heavyweight seems to be the only weight where I've had trouble getting them, on the others I seemed to be getting them every other fight. Anyway finished off tmy heavyweight career, undefeated, and with all trophies, along with being responsible for making Lesnar's loss record sky rocket.

[Disturbed316]

Just played about an hour of online fights, four quiters, 3 loses and 2 wins both by submission :mad:

Fucking hate quiters.

[The Mask]

it's easy to submit people online i've found. had one cunt kicking to the head with some gay caf and then after the fight i realized i could've just counter grappled, which never occured to me at the time. gutted.

another fight i had some cunt keep doing step attacks and backing off over and over again which for some reason i couldn't defend fast enough. fucking well annoying.

so now i'm getting my muay thai skills up and the next cunt who tries that is getting a fucking knee to the face

[Disturbed316]

I've seen alot people with 119 rated CAFs, WTF?

Probably wont play online again untill the patch comes out, unless its against one of you guys.

[The Mask]

yeah i think you absolutely have to pan your partner in every sparring session to do that. i can never do it. made him submit but never got the knockout and trying to get elbows is costly too cause the cunt always backs off or takes me down.

[CSL]

I've seen alot people with 119 rated CAFs, WTF?

Probably wont play online again untill the patch comes out, unless its against one of you guys.

There is an option to fight UFC fighters only, no CAF's. You've been a bit unlucky with quitters though. I've fought just over 30 fights online (23-8) and I've only had like 3 people quit on me. I agree with The Mask about submissions too. Of my 23 wins, 17 have been by making fools tap

[Disturbed316]

I've knocked out my sparring partnerbut it doesn't give you anything extra, it just counts as a knockdown. Submissions are worth 100 or something crazy, can never do it though.

Yeah I found the filter for it in the end, but at the moment I prefer to use my CAF, just because I'm used to their style/what they can and cant do etc.

[The Mask]

yeah i think in an ideal session you have to dominate everything and get a rocked and a knockdown and a submission etc etc and you get 144 points of something at the end. don't think i've got more than 100 yet :'(

[Impact!]

Got 200 points after KO'ing my training partner 3 times in one session...ever since then he's (they've) been a prick... i.e. (Start Round) *punch* *takedown* *smother for 2 minutes*

[CSL]

Just had my most satisfying fight on this game to date, defending the LHW title in career mode with my created Carmelo 'The Fury' Marrero, choking out Rashad Evans in like 3 minutes

[The Mask]

i can't seem to get my submission trick to work anymore. i dunno wtf happened. i think i must need something other than submission offense to do it off, like good ground defense/offense or something. i wish i knew how it worked cause i can't pull them off for shit lately.

[Funky Fly]

K, so I went online for the first time today. So pissed that there's no punishment for quitting. Fuck, even SF4 has a disconnect percentage at the very least, so you can see who's a slimy quitting bastard. I had a 3 round war that ended with me ripping this dude's arm off via kimura just to have him quit. :'(

Notice a lot af people just charge forward with haymaker punches too. Was stuffing all of that till some random Guido caf caught me with a lucky hit and flash KOd me in one shot. :'(

Also, some dudes have like 400-100 records. Insane.

Also, far easier to submit people online that the computer. Also, way harder to KO people online. Unless I get the clinch... then you're eating a 7 course uppercut meal.

[Reavant]

I've seen alot people with 119 rated CAFs, WTF?

Probably wont play online again untill the patch comes out, unless its against one of you guys.

its not redicuously hard to do. Im in the process of doing it. you cant play career mode the way its intended however

[The Mask]

K, so I went online for the first time today. So pissed that there's no punishment for quitting. Fuck, even SF4 has a disconnect percentage at the very least, so you can see who's a slimy quitting bastard. I had a 3 round war that ended with me ripping this dude's arm off via kimura just to have him quit. :'(

Notice a lot af people just charge forward with haymaker punches too. Was stuffing all of that till some random Guido caf caught me with a lucky hit and flash KOd me in one shot. :'(

Also, some dudes have like 400-100 records. Insane.

Also, far easier to submit people online that the computer. Also, way harder to KO people online. Unless I get the clinch... then you're eating a 7 course uppercut meal.

did you do ranked or normal? i haven't had anyone quit exhibition fights yet.

yeah i had one guy keep charging forward all the time too. most annoying shit ever. especially since my guy is too retarded to block in time even if i hit block about 2 seconds before the attack comes in. honestly think it might just be one of those games to play with friends rather than every little dick who comes along.

then there's all the people with their microphones too. i can't be arsed with that but it was pure joy hearing their reaction when got pretty leathered by lesnar one fight, only to KO him with a knee as he went for a takedown.

[Reavant]

If you want to know how to get a CAF that is above 100 then PM me and I will tell you how to do it (its easy)

[Funky Fly]

Spoiler tag it up, mang.

Do it!

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I love this game.

But I consistently feel like my CAF is shit, despite the fact that when I looked on the guide, most stats (Str/Spd/Cardio) don't go over 75 on average for ANY competitor. Maybe an 80 in a skill here or there.

So apparently I'm not doing horrible, but I still feel like I have untapped potential here. Haven't made anyone submit yet, and still can't figure out how. And I suck ass at the camps. Can barely do any of them aside from the Kickboxing one.

So any tips are appreciated. But I do love this game. :heart:

[Funky Fly]

Advice for you:

1. go to the options and turn on the stamina meter. Way easier to judge how the fight is going. Also easier to see how soon you can make people tap.

2. Practice against real players. The computer doesn;t really stack up. Start with player matches online or have buddies over.

3. When you are doing a training camp, go to the learn section first. So much easier o get shit going your way.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Good advice there. The Flyest of Funksters delivers again. :y:

if you max out your strength you cant go past 75 in speed or cardio, but if you max out your speed and cardio you cant go past 75 in strength

[Reavant]

impact and funky now know how to make UFC superheros ;)

[UmbrellaCorporation]

if you max out your strength you cant go past 75 in speed or cardio, but if you max out your speed and cardio you cant go past 75 in strength

You're serious? I guess I had better be doing some planning then, as I have been keeping it like Str > Cardio > Spd to this point, but mostly trying to keep them even. Need to figure what I prioritize on first, I suppose.

[Reavant]

figure out what you want to max and do that first because once you get past 75, the others start going down no matter what level theyre at.

[Funky Fly]

Fucked up thing is, without knowing it, I'd built up my welterweight guy in a similar fashion while playing the game properly and made a 98 overall guy. Too late to do this 100% for my heavyweight guy, but I will definitely redo my light heavy guy this way and do my middle and light guys like this.

[Disturbed316]

Played online for a couple of hours and killed pretty much everyone. Everyone seems to always do the running punches so its easy to counter and then mount and beat the shit out of them.

UC, once you've gone through a season or two you'll learn the skill needed in the boot camps. By the end of my forth season I'd managed to learn all the skills needed for kickboxer and wrestler so could destroy anyone with them.

[Reavant]

fuck it.... ill never play any of you online...

105-115 overall tutorial

so you have to decide what weight class you want to use. Ill use heavyweight for an example but its important you know the training max levels for each weight class.

HW ST 100 SP 80 CD 80
LHW 95 85 85
MW 90 90 90
WW 85 95 95
LW 80 100 100

So I did this with a HW. I wanted a guy that was going to be a kill machine and a submission machine so I chose boxing and BJJ, but if you like kick boxing that will work too. Im going to tell you haow to make a boxing bjj guy.

I assume youve played through the career mode at least once, so start off by making a guy in CAF not career mode. Make him how you want but dont worry about applying attributes (they wont carry over anyway) but on the shorts, select either sprawl, tapoy, or warrior shorts that have a logo on them already and then apply ten of your favorite 80 cred logos all over them and save your created fighter. Then go to career mode, select a new career and load the fighter you just made into career mode. His pants alone now will give you 880 cred every fight.

When you put in the attributes, max out strength the best you can and put the remainder in cardio. Leave speed at 1. Then max out standing strikes off and def, sub off and def, ground grap off and def and raise everything else to 20... any remainder put where you want.

After your first fight immediately start training your strength and only your strength. Dont let any stamina go to waste because you want this to be as fast as possible. train even before a fight, rest only when you dont have enough stamina to train. The first 5 or 6 fights you have will be so easy that it doesnt matter what you stamina is because you can pound out all your guys from the mount. After youve maxed out your strength, start bringing your cardio up to 75 and then your speed after that. If you go past 75, your strength starts dropping. Once your strength is to 100 you can keep it standing and throw technique punches because it will knock you opponent out fast in fights.

Now if you have trouble with the camps, you may want to rest your fighter a little bit before a camp comes up because it is very important that you get through the camps as fast as possible. at most three camps per level so you must score 5 tasks per visit which is very doable. Never accept or go to a cred opportunity like a photo shoot because it interrups your training.

Always pick the highest ranked guy when given a choice because you need to build up the cred to get the highest level training partner, but never take short notice fightsbecause again they interrupt your training. Usually you will have the belt and have defended it once or twice by the time you have either gotten the 100, 75, 75 training, or gotten the level 5 training partner. Once your properly trained you may start sparring.

The goal in sparring is to get a 144 every session. I usually do this by KOing/rocking/knock downs on my opponent over three times in a session. Throwing just technique punches works well. now you need to start watching your stamina because it affects the points you get in sparring. right after a fight, if your stamina is above 65, then you can spar right away, if its below then you need to rest that week. From then on you need to make a pattern of rest and spar, rest and spar. The first sparring sessions will only usually get you 72-100 points if your fully rested so dont worry. Also if you just sparred 2 weeks out of the fight, and now your 66% stamina 1 week out, spar again, you wont need stamina for fights anymore.

At this point in time you are going to be throwing fights, because the worse your actual opponent is, the more of a jobber your sparring partner is. The second the bell sounds for your fight, press start and select give up, and the fight is over. When you select a new opponent, select the lowest rank possible. If a short notice fight comes up, take it and throw it. You want to drop your ranking as soon as possible. once your ranking is worse than 20, stop taking short notice fights and use the long 10-13 week training camps to pummel your sparring partner. It will be very easy to accumulate 144 for every session except the ones where you start off with stamina under 90% which is the sessions right after or before a fight depending on how you pattern it.

Now once you start sparring only put points into your standing strikes off until you max it out. (you are now a kill machine) You will now easily KO your partner 3-4 times per session. Since you finished all the camps, your striking total is now 115 and if you did bjj your sub skills are 115 if you max them out. If you do both, you can have a character be a kill and sub machine and you will never get anyone to fight you online apparently LOL.

once youve gotten the hang of how to do it, start filling in everything the way you want. your guy will be well over 100 overall once your done.

[Disturbed316]

Seeing as live has been down I've been working through the classic fights, not as bad as people have been making out in terms of what you've got to do. Only had to redo one fight after I got a flash ko by accident :$

[Disturbed316]

Oh yeah also, is there a list somewhere that tells you what the different medals for online are?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The only thing I find really annoying about the classic fights is how varied the difficulty seems to be. Joe Stevenson has a glass frickin' jaw whereas it took aaaaaaaaaaaaages to sub Hendo.

[Funky Fly]

Nah, after playing onlie, the classic fights were a joke. Did em all in a day. My suggestion for the sub/decision fight: kick the body and legs a lot.

[Terra Ryzin]

Oh yeah also, is there a list somewhere that tells you what the different medals for online are?

yeah go under the xboxlive leader boards. in the bottom left corner it explains the medals.

[Terra Ryzin]

my record online is about 67 -42 or somewhere around there. plus i count all the DNF as wins since i had them won :mad:

im naaaaasty on the ground, most of my wins online are with hendo

[Terra Ryzin]

The only thing I find really annoying about the classic fights is how varied the difficulty seems to be. Joe Stevenson has a glass frickin' jaw whereas it took aaaaaaaaaaaaages to sub Hendo.

like funky said..just kick the body and legs. i just did 7 of them with no problem. by the time for the 2nd or 3rd round any body shots would "rock" them. just let them recover and get in position for the sub. do not even throw a punch or kick to the head

[The Mask]

Nah, after playing onlie, the classic fights were a joke. Did em all in a day. My suggestion for the sub/decision fight: kick the body and legs a lot.

i mount them and just whale away with the body shots, no head ones. it'll rock them now and then so you just have to sit it out then eventually you can get the fight back to ground and kick em in the ribs and they'll go down every time.

also reavant, what exactly do you do to get the knockdowns in sparring? like i've seen videos and i know if you go for hard punch/head kicks you knock them out and they regain all their stamina so you don't wanna do that, but i still have a bitch of a time catching them out.

another thing is i finally figured out how to install the game to the hard drive and i've noticed theres like a 50% increase in speed during the fights which is a bit ridiculous.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, body kicks do the trick, easy to control the fight that way. Only have one left to do now and its an easy ko win i think.

Also mask, if you have the space, install all the games you play. Not only will the games run smoother (99% of the time) it will also save your box from the red ring of death.

[Reavant]

when your that strong and you opponent sucks that much, just start using your technique punches/kicks. maybe throw in a strong body punch to lower the hands to then come over the top with another technique punch or high kic or whatever

[RP]

Here i go.. Insterting disk

[Inadequacy]

My sparring partner has started submitting me.

Very ashamed of this.

[RP]

I got knocked out on my first fight. THen got knocked out in Ultimate fight night. Not a great start.

[Mr Regal]

JUst ordered this for £19.99....sweet :)

[RP]

Ok so honestly, i must be retarded. I've been knocked out 4 times. I dont know how to even win at all

[RP]

ROFL i've won 4 in a row now. I knocked some dude out in 21 seconds.

[Funky Fly]

Fucking fuck. Finished the roster run through today finally. So then I'm all let's go online for a spell. 4 straight losses :'(. 2 levels down. 2 of them were ridiculous flash KOs. Gonna take a break and get my head back in this. Can't even play locally because I outclass everyone I know irl.

[Disturbed316]

Just working my through the roster run through, only got the lightweights left to do now. Haven't gone online for a little while now, must start getting back into it.

[RP]

I played 3 games online today.

Keep in mind i suck horribly. I cant take anyone down. I'm pretty bad at striking defense. The only think i'm good at is submissions. I'm kinda good at transitions both on top and bottom.


First match i played as Cro Crop and got destroyed by Frank Mir.

2nd match i played as Kenny Florian and it was against a level 12 player. He kept taking me down and i key going for the kimora. The 3rd time he took me down, i got it and made him tap. It was fucking hilarious. I went from level 1 to level 3.

Then my 3rd match was against Roger Huerta. I had Florian. He fucked me up good in stand up. He stunned me, but i recovered and as he pounced on me, to pull guard. He was hitting me good and i reversed positions and got on top, but i must of pressed something wrong cause after i got on top, instead of pounding him or working a submission, I just got up. As soon as he got up he threw a head kick and knocked me out. lol

[RP]

Send me friend invites if anyone wants to play sometimes.

My name is SandersPlex

[UmbrellaCorporation]

So you are good at submissions, RP?

I still seem to totally suck with them.

[RP]

I dont think i'm good. It's just that everytime i get taken down, I jam the right stick and do the submission and after the 3rd take down, I wore the guys arm out and got it.

[Rob]

I just bought this on the PS3 yesterday and I'm fucking shit at it. I've been submitted by nearly every wrestler there.

[The Mask]

you're probably gassing.

[Rob]

Nope. I'm murdering all of them. Then they reverse a takedown and beat me. On the online mode, I was Frank Mir and I hit Arlovski with 4 beauty shots, put him down, got in his guard and was immediately armbarred and he tapped.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

The worst thing for me is the godforsaken flash KO's.

Seriously. Tooling on someone for the entire fight, they get in like two punches, the second of which INSTANTLY knocks me out, despite the fact that I'm not even bleeding, and they're dripping it everywhere.

I know it has to be something I'm doing wrong. Would gassing cause that? Admittedly I do go on flurries of punch/kick combos, so...yeah.

I love this game though, as frustrating and cheap as it is a lot of the time.

have you turned the stamina bar on? even if you're not gassed, if your stamina is low at that point and a submission gets slapped on you'll have a bitch of a time getting out of it.

either put the stamina bar on or dont get in exchanges since most flash KOs happen while getting countered

[Hanso Amore]

Just got this

Im at 9-0 with my crated fighter, Wrestling/Boxer...but that isnt working out so well...any way to change styles?

[CSL]

Nope, not mid-career

[Reavant]

just make a new guy

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I got forced to retire just as I was getting comfortable with my CAF. Start again I guess.

It says on the case that there will be DLC, is this still the plan? If so when?

[Funky Fly]

Sometime next month. Hanso, play to your strengths. How do you like to fight? Build your guys off that and then build his stats accordingly.

[Fignuts]

I want UFC legends dlc. Some Couture, Shamrock, and Gracie action would be nice.

[Funky Fly]

Never gonna happen tho. Would be nice.

[McDoogle]

Is there anyway to change weight classes mid-career? Im 22-0 in the welterweight division and it's getting kinda boring.

[Funky Fly]

Nope. You've only got like 10 fights left. You may as well beef your guy up as much as you can and then take him online.

[Reavant]

the reason couture isnt in the game is because he signed his likness over to EA and their new fighting game

[Hanso Amore]

Sometime next month. Hanso, play to your strengths. How do you like to fight? Build your guys off that and then build his stats accordingly.

Suck I cant change styles. I am a Light Heavyweight, and because I am a boxer it seems like my striking is limited, but I am a striker expert I guess. Like I have won all my fights by knockout, and I cant ground and pound for shit, and cant figure out how to submit anyone, I need to practice more with real characters. basically I am Chuck Liddell, who I just knocked the fuck out.

I would be good to go but I cant do anything against Machida or Evans on the ground, they rape me, and if I stay in the standing match, I usually get flash KOed on a kick to t he head,...

I dont have the book because its a Gamefly rental, so I am confused...Can I do dead kicks, or is that only for non boxers? Would be nice to add that to my attack list. And the tutorial sucks for teaching you ground game.

Any advice is appreciated...down to 10-2 with losses to Machida and Evans :(

[The Mask]

boxer is pretty hard to work with, since opponants with kicking abilities can keep you at distance.

i recommend you use the one arm click avec mighty uppercut more often though, that's one of your better moves.

also muay thai is fucking crap in this game.

[Hanso Amore]

So who can do high kicks? karate?

[The Mask]

kickboxing and muay thai.

[Funky Fly]

Muay Thai sucks early on. A guy with developed Muay Thai has a lethal clinch and ridic good kicks. Flying knee too.

[Ogen]

I bought this about 2 months ago and its still in its wrapper. Must play it at some stage

[Funky Fly]

Come Ogen, I'll punch you in the jeans sometime.

[Hanso Amore]

Just changed to Kickboxing, SO much better. Plus I have a better understanding of how to build a guy, so I have really improved on character 2...retired my first guy at 12-3 after losing to Evans, Machida and Ortiz in complete asskickings. I did Smoke Chick Liddell 3 times though.

[Funky Fly]

Play online a little. You'll get a lot better playing real people.

[The Mask]

Muay Thai sucks early on. A guy with developed Muay Thai has a lethal clinch and ridic good kicks. Flying knee too.

oh yeah i know but the focus is on the clinch which is shit cause it's too slow and computer players break out of it easily. with kickboxing you can fight at different distances, cause the superpunch lets you stand outside striking range and thus it makes it harder for boxers and thai boxers to fight against you.

plus muay thai elbows are no different to any other elbow which is bullshit too.

[Funky Fly]

the thing tho is that if you mix up your clinch, it's damn near impossible to break. I hear you on the elbows tho. What do Muay Thai guys have on the ground, tho? kickboxers have hammerfists and boxers have wild strikes.

[Hanso Amore]

SO I am so retarded...Whenever a training op came up, I would set it up with someone then nothingever happened...apparently you have to do it as an action? I didnt know that shit, so I have skipped every goddamn one.

Fucking Gamefly with their no book.

WTF.

Also, how do I get a flag other than the American Flag behind me in the pre fight shit?

[Hanso Amore]

Sorry to ask newb questions, but like I said, no book, so I am flying free on this one.

[CSL]

Can't change the flag (unless obviously you pick a different country) I dare say that'll be included on future games

[Hanso Amore]

Thats gay...wish I could have a dojo plag or something.

[The Mask]

the thing tho is that if you mix up your clinch, it's damn near impossible to break. I hear you on the elbows tho. What do Muay Thai guys have on the ground, tho? kickboxers have hammerfists and boxers have wild strikes.

i think you get big knees in side control, though you might get that with kickboxing too. again they're so slow though that they're almost useless.

[Funky Fly]

I catch people by leading with the sall knee and getting the big one after, otherwise people just transition out of it.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Just as a test to myself, I upped the difficulty to the highest level, just to see how long it would take for me to get mashed.

I ended up losing only 1 out of 10 fights. Apparently I'm better than I thought!


I've yet to play online, should I?

[Loose Cannon]

wish they would make this game for Wii.

[Disturbed316]

Haven't played this for ages, need to get back into it.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Just had a 3 fight losing streak against Ortiz as Lidell. Then I faced him as Rampage, and choked him out

[The Mask]

I catch people by leading with the sall knee and getting the big one after, otherwise people just transition out of it.

do you have any good technique for getting points in sparring? like usually i just get the one arm clinch and uppercut and they fall down/get rocked repeatedly and i feel like the man and get 100-144 points every time. but with muay thai you can't do that :'(

[Funky Fly]

That's the best way, and yes you can with Muay Thai. Thai clinch them, then throw a punch. Now you're in 1 hand clinch.

[The Mask]

can you do the mad power uppercut too? :$

[Reavant]

put them in a submission... if you get ur attributes to max strengththen u can sub them by button mashing.... read the tutorial for a 100+ CAF i posted

[Hanso Amore]

Your new Light Heavyweight Champion,

Hanso

[The Mask]

god. started a new game with muay thai and it is the worst. got to level 3 already but it's crap. clinch kneeing absolutely kills my cardio and is too slow and i can't do the one arm uppercut so that's that fucked. plus every time i try to use clinge range striking dickhead always tries to take me down.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I started a new career tonight. Picked boxing and BJJ. Absolutly loving taking down the opponent, getting into the full mount and hammerfisting his face into the canvas.

Every fight lasted just over a minute until I was offered a last minute fight with a week to prepare. I had no stamina so I used the week to rest. Got me up to fifty something percent. I managed to knock him out in the 3rd, thankfully.

I currently stand at 9-0-0. Much happier with this run than the last career.

I also was unaware last time that I had to 'action' training camps. And was unsure what they did. So this has been somewhat of an advantage

[The Mask]

started working on my bjj finally. actually a lot better than i first thought. between kickboxing and bjj i am going to destroy youse guys.

[Rob]

I thought I wasn't too bad at this game until I read this. I'm totally shit at sparring. I've never scored above 75.

[Reavant]

work your guy right until you get the level 5 sparring partner and then start losing fights.

[Super V]

Played a few fights of this today, this game is so fuck-all random. Pummeled my friend through round 1, round 2 he gets one hit at the start and knockes me out. What the hell constitutes a knock out? Is it my lack of watching MMA or something?

[Funky Fly]

You're actually gonna be on, because I've got a giant Finnish man who wishes to pummel you about the head and shoulders.

1 of 3 things happened:

1. He caught you with a random flash KO. It's gay, but it happens from time to time. His guy is probably guy with high strength and good hands (Bock Lesnar) or kicks (Lyoto Machida/Cro Cop).

2. You were going for a strike or takedown and he was quicker on the draw and counter KO'd your ass. Counters hurt a lot more than regular strikes.

3. He'd been peppering you with damage to the face (and probably in the same spot) throughout the first 2 rounds and it all added up to your KO. Targeted damage can bring about KOs at random.

[The Mask]

I thought I wasn't too bad at this game until I read this. I'm totally shit at sparring. I've never scored above 75.

to be fair, the way to be good in sparring is nothing like being good in the actual fights.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah. You gotta pummel his face a bit, clinch him then spam shots to the face over and over. You should be able to get 2 to 4 KOs every time.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

2. You were going for a strike or takedown and he was quicker on the draw and counter KO'd your ass. Counters hurt a lot more than regular strikes.




I have to say, I love these KO's most of the time. They can look so cool.
I played against a friend who had never played before the other day. I went real easy on him, and got him to last the 3 rounds (just so he didn't instantly dislike the game), and in the last minute of the last round I went for a take down, and he caught me square in the jaw with a knee. I just fucking crumbled to the ground.
No way could I be mad about losing, it looked too awesome

[The Mask]

i did that once online back in the day. some dick with lesnar just holding me down the entire fight. anyway he went for a takedown and fucking bam, knee to the face. loved it. they were going mental on the microphone too which made it even better.

created a 107 guy last night :cool:

[The Mask]

also got 5 fight of the nights, 9 KO of the night, 9 submissions of the night and still no hall of fame :'(

How do you know what their rating is? And how is it that high to start?

[Funky Fly]

Considering you can't have any stat higher than 30 to start with a career CAW, the rating is probably really low.

You can see CAW ratings when you are choosing your guy in exhibition or online. Their overall rating is displayed under the name. You can also see it in career mode by looking at the status menu.

[The Show Off]

I'm going to be getting this game in a few days, I was curious about a few questions...

Can you give a created fighter whatever stats you want in exhibition mode?

How many created fighters can you make?

Do you know a website that has good created fighters?

Can you have 5 round fights in exhibition?

[CSL]

1. To an extent, yes (you have enough to make roughly a 86-88 overall fighter)
2. I read 40
3. Sherdog has it's fair share of CAF's knocking around, some pretty shibby one's too
4. Yes

[Reavant]

also got 5 fight of the nights, 9 KO of the night, 9 submissions of the night and still no hall of fame :'(

if you make a 107 guy its impossible to make the HOF


in fact if you lose more than twice MAYBE 3 times its pretty much impossible

plus you have to make all the cred sessions

Dunno, probably a lot. You're probably not gonna make more than 8. This isn't SvR level of detail in the CAFs

Nuh uh. My first guy made into the HOF with 4 losses and no cred sessions. Seems to be random.

i stand corrected..... the only guys ive gotten in are the ones that i did all the cred sessions and didnt lose more than twice

[Reavant]

i had 2 guys with all the cred and 4 losses an neither made it

[The Mask]

yeah i've never done the cred sessions and had a few fighters get in. i guess it's cause this fighter moved back down to the 15-25 rankings since i was working on getting his stats up. i still got the 10 match win streak trophy though so i figured that might have got me in.

not that i'm losing any sleep over it or anything.

was fun though, every fight just walk up to the opponent, single arm clinch and then armbar and the fight is over in 20 seconds and i get sub of the night and fight of the night. also helped me get the world class grappler achievement too :cool:

[The Mask]

also FUNKY. what weight is your big finnish guy at? if we're gonna fight i'm gonna come prepared, and probably get destroyed anyway.

[Hanso Amore]

I have yet to try BJJ, any good reason to? I can make most guys submit from numerous positions as a wrestler...

[The Mask]

absolutely. the rubber guard alone makes it worth it, but there are a tonne of signature transitions from disadvantageous ground positions that make fighting on your back so much easier. plus it lets you seperate your standup and grappling game a bit more.

it's a little tricky at first though, i struggled til i got to know the game better. i did wrestling first, then judo, then bjj. bjj is by far the best though.

Heavyweight. The big bastard is rated 100 overall. Made him while I was drunk and he is fuck ugly.

[The Mask]

ok. how high can i go without being a dirty cheat? like i have a 107 guy but honestly the different between him and my 101 and 102 guys is huge

[Funky Fly]

I dunno, I'm like Earnest the Cat Miller: I'll fight anybody. Also, do you have a headset? Because I'm pretty sure drunken chats whilst playing UFC would be glorious.

[The Mask]

i think i got one with it, dunno. still need to buy the wireless adapter thing but i are poor at the moment :'( but yes. i think i'll get hammered on something and then laugh uproariously as one of us gets sparked out in a comedy manner :'(

[The Mask]

right. creating my guy now. he is BORISLAV "THE HEADHUNTER" DRAGOMANOVIC, from belgrade, serbia.

apparently borislav means "glory in battle" :cool:

and i picked dragomanovic because it's a real surname and it sounds like "dragon man"

so you're fighting glory in battle dragon man, the serbian assassin. i bet you've shit your pants already.

I just did and I am not even IN on that fight

[Funky Fly]

Fuck, just about ready to give up playing online till the patch is out.

My guy is a heavyweight rated 100 overall and I am regularly shutting down these 119 rated guys because they have bad speed and cardio despite better than perfect stats. All I get are disconnects. I wonder what all these bitches are gonna do when it actually counts against you. I sincerely hope that every time you disconnect an unskippable video of Dana White comes up telling you what a little bitch you are.

[The Mask]

is that just ranked fights? never really had a problem with normal exhibition type shit.

plus i doubt those 119 guys are all that good, just random jobbers who found the cheat. if you're good with the right stick then it should be all fun and games.

[Reavant]

no u can quit ranked games

[The Mask]

?

[Funky Fly]

Submissions and TKOs have a long animation where the ref steps in to stop it, so they disconnect during that and the ranked match is thrown out. Ranked matches record your win/loss record and it affects all the online achievements, so people pussy out all the time. Don't fight anyone with a perfect record before this patch is out.

The weird thing is, the 3 descriptive phrases you get still update even after a disconnect, so even though all my submission victories (80 submission destroying a 115 sub defence, what what :cool: ) don't count, my phrase changed from "good ground game" to "excellent submission"

[Funky Fly]

There was an update today. Just logged on and it started updating. Praying it's the disconnect fix.

[Funky Fly]

FUCK! :mad:

False alarm, it just tells you how often someone ducks a fight before it begins. :mad:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Hey guys Neven here with an update on the Patch release.
The Patch for UFC 2009 Undisputed has been released on the Xbox 360 World Wide and the PS3 for Europe. The Patch is currently in submission with Sony America and we expect to release it very soon. As the Xbox and Sony Europe updates were available sooner than expected we made the decision to get the Patch out to the public rather than sit on them. Stay on the lookout for updates regarding the Patch release for Sony America.
Just a reminder of what is included in the update:


Online matches will better support issues with users who leave a match. The game will now detect users who disconnect and will assign a “Loss,” as well as a “Did Not Finish (DNF),” to that player. The DNF is only assigned to the player who executes the disconnection. The DNF rate will be displayed on the fighter selection screen of the “Online Ranked Match.” When disconnected, the “Winning Streak” is also reset to zero.
Ranked Matches have been adjusted to match players with better connections.
The difficulty of performing submissions against computer opponents has been adjusted to improve the balance of submissions vs. striking.
The Flash Knockouts rate has been adjusted so they are less frequent.
The maximum number of points awarded in online play has been increased from 99,999 to 999,999. The “Max Level” has also been increased from 100 to 200.
The “Winning Streak” bonus maximum has been moved from 5 to 3.
Decimal places on the “Leader Board Winning Percentage” have been changed so that only whole percentages are shown.
Create-a-Fighter (CAF) issues have been addressed so that the skill levels in CAF cannot be cheated and increased. Also, any CAF with unfair point values will no longer be able to be used online.
For PLAYSTATION 3 system users, game freezes during auto-saves have been eliminated. The controller used to “Press Start” on the title screen will be identified as the main controller.

I want to thank the community for all the great feedback and look forward to playing with you guys online!
Sincerely,
Neven Dravinski, UFC Producer

1. A lot of nice fixes.
2. Haha, knew I was smart not making my guy have any stat higher than 100. :cool:
2. Fuck this DNF business, it's innacurate. I HAVE NEVER DISCONNECTED.
3. lol PS3. Their version of these multiplatform games always has some kind of flaw.

[Funky Fly]

I guess you still don't get the win when dickholes disconnect. They just get the loss.

[Funky Fly]

People still disconnecting tho. Also, anyway to find out about the gold level weekly missions or whatever? Haven't seen anything on it.

[Reavant]

If you make a fighter through career mode that is over 100 its fine... theres a cheat in the CAF section where you can make every attribute 100 by clicking out of the screen and back in. Im assuming thats what was fixed.

[Funky Fly]

Oh, ok. Yeah, I have seen a couple of 106 rated guys, but still close enough in stats for it to come down to skill.

Kinda miss all those 118 guys tho. Because they were so perfect, they had speed and cardio and I subbed them all the time, even iff they had 115 sub (mine is 80).

[The Mask]

borislav is 109 :cool:

[Funky Fly]

Over the last 3 days I am 46 - 9.

[The Mask]

that's a pretty good record. i was about 3 wins to every loss when i did it last. i am a gazillion times better now though.

[The Show Off]

I just got the game today. It's sick, I love it.

I'm destroying guys on beginner, but I don't want to move on to harder levels until I can pull of a submission. I've fought probably 30 fights and 0 submissions.

Is their any secrets on how to pull a submission in this game?

Any one who helps will get repped.

[Inadequacy]

If you turn on the stamina bar you should have an easier time, only go for submissions when they're low on stamina.

Basically save them for someone going crazy with strikes. Also if you're good on the ground go for transition reversals and blocks to try and take their stamina down.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I have a submission system that literally beats anybody after a few attempts. It takes a few more attempts on the harder difficulties, and so may be easier to duke it out depending on the fight styles.

Plus its stupidly easy

Could you tell me what it is? I don't go online and fight so it won't bite you in the ass.

[CSL]

Online is the best place to be to sub guys. Like 70% of my online wins are by tap out. As for against the CPU, I find it's a case of taking your chances. I've choked out Rashad on Expert inside 2 minutes but have taken 4 rounds to submit Tim Sylvia. If a chance is there with low stamina, go for it.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I don't play online either. I have no problem sharing.

When you click the stick for a sub, as soon as the animation starts quickly wrap your right thumb in the end of your tshirt or anything else of simaler matieral. Then just rapidly rub your thumb across all 4 face buttons. It'll ache the shit out of your arm, but don't stop until he taps.

I used the same method back in the day for Track and Field and other simaler Olympic games. I used to absolutly destroy the world records with this method.

Simple. Yet effective.

[CSL]

I change the way I hold the pad as soon as the animation starts and use both index and both middle fingers. But yeah, they key is hitting the buttons AFAP (new 'word' right there)
