What’s up guys, Neven here with an update on the patch for UFC 2009: Undisputed.


I want to thank all of you for the support in making UFC 2009: Undisputed such an amazing success. That being said I want to you to know we’ve been working hard on fixing some of the issues found in the online experience. Hit the jump for the list of fixes.

1. We recognize premature match quitting as the biggest online issue and have taken steps to fix it. The Patch will have integrated code that detects who pulls the cable and will assign a Loss as well as a Did Not Finish to that player. The DNF is only counted for the player who executes the disconnection. The DNF rate will be displayed on the fighter selection screen of the Online Ranked Match. When disconnected the Winning Streak is also reset to 0.
2. We’ve adjusted Ranked Matches to match up players with better connections, which will improve lag issues we’ve seen to date.
3. We’ve adjusted the difficulty of performing submissions against AI opponents to improve the balance of subs vs. striking when playing against the AI.
4. We’ve adjusted the Flash KO rate so that they are less frequent.
5. We’ve increased maximum number of points awarded in online play from 99,999 to 999,999 and we’ve increased the Max Level from 100 to 200.
6. We’ve lowered the Winning Streak Bonus Max from 5 to 3.
7. We’ve removed the decimal places on the Leaderboard Winning Percentage so we only show whole percentages.
8. We’ve addressed the CAF cheat so the skill levels in CAF cannot be cheated and increased. Also any CAF with unfair point values will no longer be able to be used Online.
9. For PS3 users we’ve also fixed a bug that causes a freeze during auto-save; whichever controller was used to Press Start on the Title Screen will be identified as the main controller.

Rest assured our entire team plays A LOT of online matches and we read the boards every day, so we are well aware of the issues. We want to make sure we patch this correctly so it is taking a bit of time, but I can confidently say we’ll be releasing this patch soon.
Stay tuned and thanks again for your support.
Sincerely,
Neven Dravinski, UFC Producer

Nice surprise to see them adjusting submissions against the CPU.

Re: Patch update

Thats bull**** about them changing the CAF cheat. Not all of us use that to create CAF who have crazy stats. Some of use them to make realistic fighters.

Re: Patch update

They should just disallow the glitched fighters from being used online... that's the best solution. Add an option to open up the CAF points totally for offline and then just make sure people can't use them online. But meh, I don't care that much about having the high-powered CAFs in the first place.

But if it shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Re: Patch update

That shows how much I know, I haven't even heard of the CAF glitch.

that's disappointing to me - now that I'm really good at the game this hardly ever happens anymore when playing offline against friends who are also good - now it will probably never happen . .. sucks that a few scrubs have ruined it for everyone

Re: Patch update

just create your players before downloading the patch.

Thats what I will have to do. Sucks that I have to do it though.

Don't think it'll work based on this line.

Also any CAF with unfair point values will no longer be able to be used Online.

Re: Patch update

Flash KO, didn't need fixing - I wish I could choose what fix to accept...the balance is great for flash ko's.

anyway...the only aspect of the game that feels over powered to me which is not being addressed is the reversal of those into submissions which are almost impossible to get out of.

Re: Patch update

^^^ But those slams take so much stamina if they land that i thgink its a fair trade off. You only have a 25% chance of reversing. if you hit the slam it lands you in doinant position, plus eats a huge chunk of stamina. If a reversal ends up being a sub thats very difficult to escape, or being full mounted well thats the risk you take for a super effective move. High risk for high reward.

It only states CAF with unfair stats will be unavailable..

Re: Patch update

Given the context, I think it's safe to assume that they have a way of catching any CAFs that were made using the glitch and that is exactly what they're referring to there. You won't be able to use glitched fighters online, but if you hurry and create all the CAFs you will want before the patch drops, you can use them offline at least.

CAFs made with the glitch = "unfair stats" as far as this is concerned, IMO.. I'd be surprised if they just capped it 100 or something since no actual fighters are any where near that... definitely should disallow all glitched CAFs from online play (or at least ranked play).

Good Point I'm sure as long as you dont have any 100+ CAFs you might be alright.
