UFC: Undisputed 2009 - Mixed Feelings.

Right so I played the demo when it came out and loved the game, graphics look amazing the fighting system is good.

Ive just picked the game up this morning and now I have mixed feelings.

the career mode is boring to be honest, the fights - great, but the stupid amount of time that it takes to sort out your calendar and mess about putting labels on your shorts is just stupid.

Then the part I was looking forward to most, the online, is a huge let down. Takes ages to get into a fight, and once your eventually in one its VERY laggy. Granted Ive only had 3 fights, won them all,but every one of them was lagging.

Also, if you just delivered some serious Van Dammage to some guy on there, he has the chance to cancel out of the match causing you to lose your win on the leaderboards and he has no penalty for it. So my third fight after an insulting 20 second KO in the first round, the guy throws a fit and closes it down. So no points or a winfor me.

All together, Im pretty annoyed at a lot of the games features its like they've spent all their time on graphics and the fight mechanics (which are stunning) but did a very mediocre job on the rest.

What do you guys think?

Other than the online .. I'm loving it ..

Couple things that bother me about the game is the Online. The lag has gotten better, but sometimes its just so bad its not even worth it, so bad. And the stupid people that quit after online is sooooo many, too many.

Also, in the game sometimes when your getting a few kicks at you close range, and you flick the left stick, to step back, nothing happens. And ur left standing there for like 5 seconds getting pummeled.

Make sure you're not in a motion before flicking the stick, you have to be pretty much standing there .. and if you get caught keep flicking ..

online whether it's about stats or because losing isn't fun people are going to quit.. it's sad

any game that i play online people quit, even if it's close.. you just have to tolerate it, sure it would be great if they got a penalty and you were awarded the points/win..

as for the career mode i thought it is okay thus far..

and the lag issues i haven't really occurred any major lag, minor lag here or there but still okay.

the game could be a whole lot better but it's still a decent/good game..

i just bought it a while ago and i loved it. i played the demo a hundred times and the full game still kick ass. online game is kinda laggy though. and yes the menu is very slow indeed.

Well their is work to be done on the sequel to make it an even better title. I would like to see a longer career were you start out as a no name tuffer and you have to win the Ultimate Fighter before you start fighting in UFN and then UFC shows. I dont mind the calander but they need to ad QTE or some of type of game play elements to the traing sequences. Examples could be tap square and triangle while working the speed bag, or use different combo's on the heavy bag.

Also please work on the subs make them fell more alive instead of just pressing R3. All in all Undisputed is a great game that has a solid foundation to work off of, future Undisputed should be even better. Also fix the lag what the hell I played jerk last night and the lag was horrible, what make things worse he beat me :cry:. But it was a close fight.

Just avoid people with crazy looking records like 50-2, 35-5, 75-10 are whatever when playing ranked. Most of them quit whenever they start to feel the pressure instead of taking a loss like a man. jfcundiff

Well instead of brutalizing you .. I'll teach you how to destroy Jerkface .. :P

CanadianCR...I'm sorry, but your sig makes me gag

Why?

But that avatar of Michelle Trachtenberg isn't any better ..

I've always wondered why people leave pointless posts with no explanation .. :roll:

Apart from lag and quitters, I'm loving the game. I took some skin off the palm of my hand by rotating the right stick like crazy, trying to escape submissions. I looked down at the stick and some skin was stuck to it lol. Sore as hell.

I really think they should do something for the submissions or at least tweak it a bit, because trying to rotate that stick as fast as possible hurts the hell out of my hand sometimes. jfcundiff

And it seems the submissions are at random .. when I have a guys Stamina at like zero, and I have pretty much full, I should be able to submit hm regardless of his Submission Defense ..

If they fix the servers for this one, I will be satisfied enough ..

I don't want this to be a yearly thing either .. I want them to take at least two more years before releasing the next one ..

Gives them plenty of time to iron out the kinks ..

They are already working on a new game. They said the southpaw problem was fixed and will be in next year's game. For the next 3 years, they will be releasing a yearly game. jfcundiff

Well they better get on it .. lots to fix in a year ..

It is OK. Te commentary and graphics are fine. But I feel that the fights get way to repetitive.
