Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

How many points you get is limited by the partner you have, stamina, and damage you do right? I had one where I did like 600-700pts of damage to his 100, had full stamina, and it's the third partner I think, and I get 66 points max.

Also, is it better to spar more often or train more often? I would think spar since you bring up your skills but I don't know.

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

I haven't noticed any kind of limit... look at the point totals afterwards and see what it says. Normally if you get 1-2 takedowns, try a submission, reverse something, and gain 3-4 advantageous positions, you can get a really high score, even on early levels.

I'll probably start another career soon since my MW guy is winding down (Year 6 defending MW champ) so I'll investigate it further... kinda hard to tell this late in the game if there is an upper limit since I have a Level 5 partner.

As far as scheduling ans sparring vs. training, I actually did training most often simply because I was trying to save my sparring for when I was at full stamina to maximize the bonuses. So if I was at 75%, I'd do a light training, rest (to get back to 100%), and then spar. My big thing is always making sure I'm near or at 100% for sparring and for fights, and the rest of the scheduling is secondary.

I know in a body clinch you can hold back on the RS to help block escapes or a guy getting over/unders or double underhooks. And unlike on the ground, where you can hold left or right, in the clinch you must hold back (left if you're on the left, right if you're on the right).

I don't know if it works in the striking clinches also because I have very little experience with those, but it's worth a shot.

I'll give that a try, thank you!

Well that's weird and blows at the same time, I thought it topped out. I figured it only mattered how much damage I did, not the variety I used.

I'm in year three and my stats (strength, speed, cardio) are all in the mid to upper 50s, does that suck for the timeframe? I really don't want to have to make yet another fighter because I've been going at it wrong.

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

The attributes (strength, cardio, speed) top out in the sense that you have to start decreasing the highest ability for advantages in the others... like my dude is 84 strength, so I have to take a hit on that to increase his cardio/speed via training. Because of that, I've just stopped the tranings altogether and now can just spar, rest, spar, rest ad nauseaum to get ready for fights.

But yeah, as far as I'm aware you can get more points the more you do in the session. There's just not enough time in the minute to get more than 2 takedowns, 2 throws, 4 gained positions, etc. -- so it kind of polices itself in that sense... you'd have to completely and quickly dominate every facet of the scoring to really get a ton of points above the 30 or whatever you get with a solid performance.

You get points for all sorts of things. Look at the scoresheet at the end of a spar and you'll see what you're getting points for.

It's hard to tell how you're doing, but it sounds like you should be fine. Getting 66 points on the third guy is pretty good. I was getting mostly 72 or 100 on the fifth partner, and I was doing stupidly well.

I'd recommend getting your attributes up to the 75-80 range, but not over. It's just not worth the time it takes after that. And with your fighting skills, I wouldn't put anything over an 80 unless you've got a lot of points to waste. An 80 already is a good rating, but when modified by your discipline bonus (for example a fully maxed level 3 judoka gets +15% to clinch grapple offense and defense), that brings it up to a 92, which is an elite rating, without the insane cost of actually levelling it that high.

With so many ways to lose, it's usually better getting a lot of value for your sparring points filling holes in your game than it is skilling up your primary skills into the 90's.

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

I saw the score sheet, I just figured it was all based on how much more damage you did than your partner. Thanks for the info though, didn't know a maxed out level gave bonuses, I'll keep all that in mind.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but for my boxing, I think I got +5% to the standing strikes offense and defense when I reached level 2, +10% to that and +5% to ground striking offense and defense at level 3, and topping out at +15% and +10% when I fully maxed level 3. (note: you won't notice these bonuses added in to the screen where you distribute your sparring points, but you will see them added in when you look in the status section)

I'm not positive on the numbers, but it was something like that.

As for the sparring scoring, you do get a nice bonus for doing the most damage. But the way they calculate the points if they look at the difference in overall points you got compared to your partner and assign a base number which is then modified by your stamina and partner level. It's certainly important to do the most damage, but it's also important to do other things.

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

I was looking at the stats screen and noticed there's a stat for winning in double underhooks as well as over/under positions and single collar ties. Anyone have any ideas how you're supposed win with those? I thought the single collar would've been the one with the boxing uppercuts but as I have 0 wins there that can't be it.

Also how do you even get to the body triangle position?

[Stumbleweed]

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

Body triangle is major transition from back side mount (not 100% on that.. look at the move list from back side control and you'll see it).

Not sure how it measures "winning" in the single-collar tie (maybe getting a knockdown?), but that's definitely the proper name of the one-handed striking clinch that boxers and kickboxers have. As far as winning the over/under clinches, etc., you probably just need to "win" by throwing them or otherwise taking them down (pulling them into your guard with a BJJ guy probably doesn't count).

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

Where is the stat page for wins and whatnot? I know you can press X before you load your fighter, but I never saw anything about wins.

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

When a guy is knocked down to his back, I think you run and hit x to jump on him, correct? How do I just stand over him and start pounding?

[Stumbleweed]

Re: OS Official UFC Undisputed Strategy and Help Thread

For career, you go into the status menu and it'll show everything including your record, stats, camp info, etc.

For online it will show your wins-losses, style comments (gives 3 main points about your style) and then your fighter's two styles -- hit RB/LB to flip through that info.

When they're in that "laying on their side" state after getting rocked bad, you can just run to them and push LS towards them and you'll stand over them and be able to pummel them. Running works, but I can normally just walk over there and TKO them before they can recover. Depends on their ratings how quickly they recover from that though, so some dudes are quick.

Under game progress and then records. It's quite detailed. I've only been playing exhibition.

For submission escape/defense, do you guys mash buttons or use the R-stick?
