Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

2 quick questions from someone who will inevitably be getting the game:

1. Have not heard definitively, will the GameStop pre-order fighters be available to download?

2. Does anyone have the strategy guide and if so how helpful would it be for someone that knows just a little about UFC, specifically to get to know more about the fighters?

Thanks!

I'm usually not a strategy guide buyer, but I decided to grab this one. It is a helpful tool, especially for learning about the fighters. There's a page dedicated to each fighter that show's each guys rating, strengths/weaknesses and has a small write up on each of those. It's great for looking at your up coming match-up and seeing where your guy has the advantage and creating a solid game-plan from there.

Seems like I have to learn more ground game Didn't have time yesterday to try more than two fights. Still wondering how to stop CPU being aggressive, some of you have mentioned that you have been able to make CPU think about punches. Leg kicks don't stop them from charging, jabs will slow them down a little but this means you'll have to throw jabs all the time. Maybe I'll have time today to go through tutorial mode for all the new things added from 2010. Looks like advanced will be my level to go with, experienced just little too easy.Thanks for all answers.

From my experience, if you stand and bang with the CPU they will stand and bang right back. If you circle away from your opponent and pick your shots they aren't as quite as aggressive.

The Tutorial is okay, in my opinion. It's cool that you can go back and re-practice certain things after you finish. Another useful tool that I haven't seem anyone mention is Practice Mode. In this mode you can choose for you opponent to focus on only one aspect of the game (stand-up, clinch, ground, IIRC). So if your having trouble on the ground your opponent will only try for takedowns and the ground game, so you get to practice your takedown offense/defense, your transitions, ground and pound, blocking, reversals, etc.

Trying to figure out this CAF AI. They don't seem to be following the AI template at all. I chose submission throw, but yet this dude is throwing a lot of strikes and only goes for one submission per a fight and does no throws. Makes no sense considering a gave him a lot of level 3 throws.

So I don't know if the AI template is broke or what.

Agreed, I set my wrestling CAF to GnP 2 then watched him try and out box people.

Some more thoughts.

They did a good job making fighters different. Stances are pretty close on many of the fighters, and I've noticed techniques that certain fighters use a lot are in their arsenal, making it feel more authentic.

I've noticed a lot of ground fighters have the rubber guard, though, when they don't seem to ever really use it in real life. That's a little odd.

They did a good job with template styles, too - I just fought GSP and while I dropped him once in the 3rd with a nice hook, and got 2 takedowns on him, for the most part I was being picked apart and taken down at will.

He threw a lot of combos - and ended quite a few in spinning kicks that just weren't expected and caught me off guard. His take downs were killer, too, although I did a good job stuffing ones that were too close to the ropes (Pride Mode). I felt like if I did a CAF and went into the UFC career mode, I'd have a really hard time getting his belt - which I didn't feel in 2010 (Hell, I could stuff him all day with Hardy and then KO him within a round).

I played Condit vs Shields next, and it was totally different. Shields would throw a strike or two and for the most part, wait for me to do something so he could go for the take down. When he was on his back, he did that kneel-up and shoot thing quite often. I did a good job getting on top of him and hurting him badly, and eventually he got out. Then on the feet I was picking my shots - and dropped him with a jab to short knee combo that caught him as he shot in after my jab (which I was expecting)... I finally finished him when I was backed up against the ropes and threw Condit's front kick to the face, then followed it up with a few shots on the ground. They did a good job adding shots after the KO - it feels more rewarding getting that KO.

It was good - two fights that were very different.

The first week I didn't have submission now all of a sudden I have 2 in my first 2 fights of the day. Did they tweak something? Funny thing is they came in the 1st rd

Is the game any different than the demo?

Quick question - how do we upload highlight reels? I want to put some together, but it seems pointless if you can't upload them, yet I see no upload command anywhere in the game. Is it hidden somewhere funny?

Alistair Overeem is a monster on this game. He is damn near unstoppable. He just runs through everybody with ease.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

I got the game today and I've had three fights so far.

I was disappointed with UFC 2010 but I'm loving UFC 3. I wasn't planning on buying it but the demo changed my mind.

Advanced difficulty, Simulation energy.

The first fight was Michael Bisping (me) vs Alan Belcher.
It went the distance and I ended up winning by unanimous decision, 29-28 across the board.
Both me and the CPU got rocked during the fight. It was pretty awesome, I must say.

The second fight was Diego Sanchez (me) vs Donald Cerrone.
He submitted me in the first round. When it looked like I was escaping the triangle choke he switched to an armbar. I was toast.

The third fight was Cain Velasquez (me) vs Pat Berry.
I just wanted to see how quickly I could finish him. He lasted about half a round. I pressed him up against the cage, took him down and kept punching until the ref stopped it.

Like I said, I'm loving this game.

Do you have to have a code to play online?

Go to content sharing, my data, select your clip and upload it to their server. Kind of lame that only people who own the game can view it. You can't embed it or nothing, can't send it to Youtube.

Online pass yeah, like any other game. Seems to be the industry standard now to have an online pass.

Yes, you need a online pass.

Thinking about picking this up at Redbox (PS3 as they don't have 360 version, which is the version I would buy). I really enjoyed '09 version but I didn't play '10 at all.

How much is online pass?

UFC 3 is used at GameStop for $43.

Edit: Err, nevermind. They said the case must have been placed out there by accident as they didn't have a used copy.

I was wondering why it was almost $20 cheaper than a new one and had been out only 4 days. Usually they just drop the price on new games about $5 bucks.

Oh well I picked up PS3 copy at Redbox.

EDIT 2: They had 360 copy. Looking forward to giving this a go tonight.
