Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I'm 8-2 in my heavyweight career. Fighters name is Marcus "The Headhunter" Johnson. He's a boxer/wrestler fighting out of Las Vegas.

Anyway he's knocked out a few guys in spectacular fashion,including Mark Coleman,Heath Herring and Eddie Sanchez.

My two losses came against some no namer via decision and a 3rd round KO by Mirko Cro Cop in a fight that was in the bag until I did something stupid.

Johnson's next fight will be on the undercard of UFC 119 when he steps into the Octagon and takes on Gabriel Gonzaga.


On another note,have any of you seen anybody actually trash talk a fighter in one of his interviews yet? You know it'll say something like "Mark Coleman talks about his upcoming fight with whomever". They always have something nice to say. Screw that,I wanna see some trash talk.

Ive actually seen alot of trash talk in those interviews, lol narc coleman waa tge only to say something nice...Maybe becuz he's a VET?

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I restarted after five fights because the menu lag made me accidentally refuse a training camp invitation. I figured with only five fights it was better to start over than lose the camp training.

At least this time around I won my intro fight.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

Just wrapped up my first career. Kept it on beginner to try and get the tougher achievements. Ended up 34-0, 32 KO/TKO and 2 submissions. Did a boxing/judo ground-and-pounder. I'm pretty good at the game, but I also picked the perfect combination. The CPU just isn't good at stopping GNP. I finished most of my fights with 95+ stamina and I was able to clean up in sparring, almost always getting at least one KO from the mount.

Got all the trophies, fortunately I got Submission of the Night on my first submission win. Got inducted into the Hall of Fame. There's a neat little cutscene for it. The credits are pretty cool, too.

I can now use my guy in exhibition and online. But he's a freaking 100 overall. And not a barely 100, but probably more of a 110 if the ratings could go that high. I got my attributes up to 77/80/77, but not any higher because of the penalties involved. Instead I spent the last few years sparring. Ended up with a handful of skills at 90+, which is super elite in the game. Even my submission offense, which I had no intention of ever skilling up, ended up at an 89 because I just had so many points.

Fortunately, I've got no desire to use him online, but other people will get similar guys, so people better get ready to do UFC fighter only fights.

Damn that sux....looks like I wont be looking forward to play against created figthers online anymore....Unless its in a league and they have rules for ratings.....

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I did advanced, and I loved it (retired now). I never cracked the top 10, and it felt good. I like that I'm not just a superstar; it'll be fun when I actually get up there with a career.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

Went Welterweight.

Already had my first rival. I'm 8-2, but both losses were to the same dude. Knocked my *** out both fights. Well I'm training for another fight and Dana White says, "Hey help me out I need you to fill in for so and so for a fight in two weeks". Well it's against the guy that whupped me both fights. SO I jump on it.

This guys a great striker. In my past two fights I was sticking and moving, and he loved that. He just waited and waited, and worked me down until BOOM! So I lost twice with that strategy. The third fight I said **** it, I'm going all offense. I was on him like white on rice from the beginning. My guys a kick boxing specialist so I kept rocking him. Totally different fight the 3rd time, knocked his *** out in the 2nd. I was so excited that I flipped off my TV when the dude went down....

That's when I knew it was time for bed

Good write up found it entertaining, you had to go back and watch tape and take a different approach lol good job getting the win.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

Just started my career last night. I am going to basically make myself at each weight class and work through every career at the weight class. My first career is on the 2nd difficult, the one right above beginner at the heavyweight level. My guy is named after me, with the nickname of "The Headhunter", and he is living up to his name so far in his career.

It is early on, but I am 4-0 after KO'ing 3 scrubs, 2 in the 2nd round, and the 3rd in the 3rd round. All nice KO's, was hoping for KO of the night, but nope. Haters. So I finally fight a non scrub in Eddie Sanchez. He is definitely a lot better than the other guys, and we trade blows back and forth. It goes into the 3rd, I am definitely ahead of the score cards. I am working his body and legs, and I catch him with an uppercut into a flash punch and lights out for Eddie.

I got invited to the Top Team BJJ camp, and I have unlocked two sponsors. My cred is solid. I just signed to fight Coleman in my next fight.

I love how they have the results from all of their events and see the current rankings, gives the career mode so much life!

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I'm playing on the second difficulty setting because I'm not the best controller jockey, and after working up to an 8-1 record, I was wondering if I needed to bump it up. Then I signed to fight Mark Coleman.

I spent the entire first round on my back, mostly mounted, just trying to survive. I finally got back to my feet with about 30 seconds left, thinking "OK, now I need to put my boxing skills to good use." Before the thought has fully left my brain, my guy is doing the spinning deadfall animation from a left hook.

I think I'll stay on this difficulty for a bit.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

Not sure what year I am in, but "The Fury" is 9-0 right now with 9 KO's just got an email from Dana White saying that i have tied the record for longest winning streak @9, the next win would be the record breaker... & here is where it starts sucking, I am fighting Thiago Silva next and I have tried this fight 4 times now, the game keeps freezing on me!!! ahhhhh, sucks, I blew an air can in my ps3 this morning, and tried to play but had to leave before work, i was dominating Silva, so i will try again tonight... Light Heavyweight that is Wrestling & Kick Boxing, no camp invites yet, im ranked 8th in the rankings, knocked out Liddell, Tito & Herring on the way up...

Hahahaha

I can't believe how excited I get when I KO someone. I actually feel like I've accomplished something and I get all pumped.

Tito Ortiz is perfectly made for destroying my guy. I hate it.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I started off 6-0 and then got caught with a rear naked choke by Even Tanner. Won another fight (Lebel I think) and then got submitted by rear naked choke by Jason MacDonald. It was going that way (win one, lose one) until I got a lucky rash of matches against Chris Leben. I ended up fighting him 3 times in a row (twice due to Dana's e-mail about an injury sub), all first round KO's (making it 4 first round KOs on Leben overall ha), and he single-handedly turned my career around. After those fights, I avenged my defeat against Tanner to get into the Top 10 in the rankings. I've gotten "revenge" on Tanner, Nate Marquardt, and Jason MacDonald... that feels great.

I worked my way up with a win over Thiago Alves and then another one over Rich Franklin (who was ranked #3 at the time, I was #4). After that fight, I was ranked #2 in the world -- I gave a "top contender" shot to Okami but ended up fighting Demien Maia due to an injury. I pounded Maia into a pulp in the 1st round and then took on Anderson Silva in the next fight for the Middle weight title. At that point I was 20-6 -- I was able to pound him out from mount about halfway through the 2nd for KO of the Night honors and the MW title.

I've defended my title against Rich Franklin once (easy 1st round KO from the ground) and have a fight scheduled against Okami now, who is the 4th ranked guy... I missed my chance to fight him earlier, so I thought I'd give him a chance. We'll see how that goes when I get home -- I'm also on the 9 fight win streak, so I can break the record with that win.

FYI, my guy is a kickboxer/Judoka and he's brutal. I have him up at 84 strength and mid 70's for cardio/speed -- his main skills are kick offense, ground striking, and takedowns. The kickboxing/Judo combo makes for a very versatile fighter -- you can take people down from nearly every position, have great transitions to get yourself out of trouble, and with kickboxing you have the most varied selection of powerful strikes/kicks... hard to stop. I'm also maxed out in Judo and 10 camp points away from maxing out kickboxing... so yeah, the 80+ striking will be valuable for my title defenses.

Re: Official UFC 09 Undisputed Career progression thread

I made a MW Thai Box/Judo master and managed to handily win my first 6 fights (with 1 KO of the night) 5 in the first round. I was all ready to face Jason MacDonald with a nice long layoff when Dana pestered me into fighting Lietes (#10 and my stats still horrible). His defense at getting out of the clinch nullified my 'grab the dude and knee him until he dies strategy' that had been successful in my previous 6 fights. I was also deathly afraid of going to the ground with him because my ground game is weaksauce.

So the first round consisted of me jabbing and attempting to grab him to give him the Knees of Death and taking a pretty handy beating for my troubles. Round two he wasted no time taking me down and had me tapping like a little B****

My bounceback fight was against Jason MacDonald who seemed to want to play into my hands and normal KO service was resumed.

I'm 7-1, Level 2 Thai Boxing and I have a date with the Late Evan Tanner next.

That's exactly how my title defenses went. I love fighting Franklin. Okami was a surprisingly easy fight. He didn't want to be on the ground at all for some reason, so when we would stand up I would just stick and move. It ended fast.

The third defense brought on Dan Henderson, a guy I had already beaten relatively easily with a 2nd round KO.

Things are going fine, I'm controlling the fight for the most part. It looks like I'm on track for another 2nd round KO. And then...BOOM.

Flash KO.

Henderson steps in with a hook and that's it. Kinda pissed me off, because I had pretty much controlled the entire fight. Then, with roughly 30 seconds left in the 1st round, he lands one big punch and that's it.

Bye bye title. Dan Henderson is your new Middleweight Champ and I'm now 19-4.

Also, anyone think that sparring is tougher than actual fights? My sparring partner is a level 5 and he gives me more trouble than any of my actual fights do, lol. Making it tough to bump up my skills.
