Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

i watched that whole thing. def a good fight. one thing im kinda lost on, WHERE IS THE BLOOD?!?! a whole fight with not one drop of blood on the mat is a lil suspect to me. did they tune the blood all the way down from the demo? there were quite a few good shots to each others face but not one cut. if thats the case im a little disappointed as thats one thing i enjoyed in the demo.

dont get me wrong tho, im picking it up on my lunch break today. just wondering if u guys are seeing cuts and blood in your matches like the demo.

I have had the game for about three days now and I havent noticed a lack of blood at all. Every match I have had, has been full of blood and the mat has been soaked. Also I noticed during a cutscene after I pounded this guys face in, that his blood was on my chest. So I can assure you there is plenty of blood in the final version

That's what I plan on doing. They better not be sold out and run out of DVD's by the time I get there at about 1.

+1

I am already in my third year and ranked #2 in the middleweight division. This game is pretty sick and the Muay Tai clinch is deadly

How is the career mode as far as the out of ring stuff?
I read that you can spar and have to make sure you get the proper balance of training and rest.
Can you get injuries? If you were in a war, does it take longer to recover before your next fight?
How do you schedule fights? Or does the CPU do it for you?
When do you think you'll get a shot at the title?

As a suggestion you can order it from the best buy site and choose store pickup. I think they have to mail you the gift card cause i can't select store pickup for it, but i can do store pickup for the game plus dvd.

I think I might do that... it doesn't seem to have all the DVD's though. I want the Best of 2008.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Am I blind? Or is there no way to have ranked fights with friends? That's disappointing if true, because I don't see myself playing against randoms. Just played my first online game with Miget33, it was a bit laggy. The buttons were not as responsive as in offline, hopefully it works itself out.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Quick question or 2...I know career lasts 7 years, or I think I remember reading that, so I'm wondering:

How many fights do you have during a year?

When you retire your fighter, does everything reset back to default when you start up a new career?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

This game is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

I put it on Expert and got my boy Rashad against Forrest Griffin. When I played the demo I pretty much only used Shogun, so I wasn't used to getting taken down. I spent most of this fight on the ground and trying to keep the dude from submitting me. I lost the first one by unanimous decision.

Second fight I did a little better but he takes me to the ground more than I would like. I popped him with some good shots but I lost again by unanmious decision.

Third fight Sugar Shad says **** the bull****. I start dancing around the ring a lot more, picking my shots better, and breaking out of his clinch attempts. He took me down a couple of times but didn't do a whole lot. With time running out I hit him with a hook that knocked him to the ground but the round ended as I swarmed for the kill. I win the fight by split decision.

3 fights and 3 straight decisions. I can dig it.

Rashads hooks are the truth!

You can't get injured.

Yes, if you're in a tough fight, it does take a lot of stamina out of you, all but forcing you to rest the next week. If you dominate and win in a couple minutes, it'll take almost no stamina.

Your first fight you'll get an email from Joe Silva and he'll give you a couple options. From then on, after each fight you'll schedule a new one. You'll also have opportunities to take fights on short notice as other fighters get injured during training.

You'll probably get a title shot sometime around your third year, maybe a little sooner or a little later depending on your W/L and the fights you pick. It'll probably take you about 10 fights at the minimum.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

How many fights do you have during a year?

Around 6-7. I'm in October of 2010 right now and I've had either 12 or 13 fights. I've taken I think two fights on short notice so that's increased my pace.

Boxers in general are awesome because of those ducking hooks. You can even combo them together, which is just nasty. Plus boxers get some nice punches to do within full guard and in the mount. I'm absolutely loving my boxing/judo guy.
