Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

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.

My first dude is actually gonna have that exact same style, it seems like a nice mix.

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!

My first fight was Evans-Machida. KO'd Lyoto with a nice right hook in the 2nd. Just a preview of Saturday!

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.

Thanks! That sounds awesome!

It's awesome. If someone stands with me, I've got great hands. If they catch counter one of my punches or clinch me, even if they have double underhooks, they're getting tossed and I'm ending up in side control. If someone takes me down, I'm sweeping them from my guard and ending up in side control.

I think boxing/judo is the perfect combination for ground and pound, with the added benefits of being tough to control and still being dangerous on my feet.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

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

cool cool....just wat i wanted to hear. was hoping they didnt wuss out and tone it down.

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

the best buy i just went to was out of the best of 2007 and 2008 so they must've sold a few copies of the game today. i ended up getting UFC 92 The Ultimate 2008 dvd. its a double disc set with over 4hrs on it. lots of good fights on it. the game itself has a sticker on the front about the $10 best buy exclusive PPV money. i guess its in the actual game box cuz they didnt hand me anything else but the gift card for $10

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Just got the game. I'm sooooooo excited!

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Took advantage of the Best Buy deal this morning i ended up with $10 in credit towards a PPV, The Best of 2008 DVD, and a $10 Best Buy gift card.

Wha! They didnt tell me about the free dvd offer. I wonder if I can go in with my receipt and get one....

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.

Anyone?

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Is the fighting good enough for a minor UFC fan?

[NYJuggalo45]

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Anyone?

Haven't tried this but couldn't you just create a session as a ranked match? If that's an option

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Played a little at lunch... 1st fight I knocked out minotauro in 32 seconds with Lesnar on advanced. I was just dancing around throwing jabs. I connected with 1 and lights went out for minotauro.

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.

I went ahead and retired my fighter (but didnt save it) to see if everything resets, and it does, you have to restart everything

[Guifré]

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

My impression:

1. Evan Tanner and Mask in the game. Not cool. Show some respect UFC.

2. Tito, Sylvia and Arlovski in the game. Lame. Tito doesn't fight anymore and Arlovski is with Affliction and Sylvia is a sausage vendor. Cro-Cop made it but Couture didn't?

2.a. Where's Patrick Cote?

3. Brock Lesnar is VASTLY overrated in this game. VASTLY. Sterioded stats hello.

4. What's with all these random WW and LW?

5. Could've at least 'thought' about adding WEC to the game. It is afterall UFC property. I'd rather fight as Miguel Angel Torres than some of these chumps...

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

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?

I think most of your question was answered with another post, but I will add to it. In career mode you have so many weeks to prepare for the next fight. You can train, which is auto or you can spar. Each event takes up a certain amount of time and energy and when you get to a certain point, you have to rest which also takes up time. After you fight a couple of fights, you can join a gym that is hosted by two real UFC fighters and specializes in what ever your fight set it. You spar during this and get points to level up to a higher skill set. Example: I am a Muay Tai and BJJ fighter and I am training in Anderson Silva's gym and he is teaching me a few things. I spar with this guy and recieve points for doing certain task that are identified before the spar. You can receive up to 70 points a session from what I remember and they go to your overall level for Muay Tai fighter. I am now at a level 3 but I am not sure what the top level is.
