Straight addicting. This whole weekend ive been playing this game. Exhibition, tournaments, fight cards, and online. I haven't even touched career yet. Loving that every fight doesn't feel or look the same.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

to those others who completed the career mode, how many fights did it take you until you had to retire and at what age (does it have any influence?)

48 fights, which spans 10 years, is the max. Age don't matter. I was 28 when I retired.

I had my first draw in the game. Pretty sweet to see.

48 fights for me and I was 42 when I retired I believe. 40 something I know for sure.

Man, the CPU is just owning me in the standup game on Advanced. I try to use dodges, feints, jabs, and combos, but it seems like the CPU is psychic and just throws perfectly timed haymakers to knock me out, even when using a fighter not known for striking. I would move down to Experienced, but it's just too easy. Any tips, guys?

GMSS: good posts, was wondering if you used normal or sim energy and have you tried ultimate difficulty does that give you a challenge? going an entire career with just 2 losses would seem boring to me, but I understand that you found a style that works well

Sim.......you can't use ultimate in your 1st career play through, that mode is locked. Boring......well yes, I find most sports game boring when I actually control a team or player, which is why I am a coach mode player.

But in order to fill out my roster, it was just something I had to do ONCE and I will just copy him over and over again making other fighters out of him. Then I will just start doing what I like doing best.

Set up my own league and watch the cpu vs cpu duke it out. My own little enjoyment, it relaxes me. Just like in NCAA 12, Madden and NBA 2K, I played coach mode.

Grant it this game don't have true coach mode, but cpu vs cpu is close enough since this year you rarely see the same exact fight over and over between 2 people. Each one be different.

Plus with CAFs, I've gotten pretty good in making the CPU CAF behave and fight the way I want them to fight. 150 fighters plus CAFs = never a shortage of match ups.

The sucess I've had in stand up is only due to getting the timing down to counter punch. On the harder diffulties (advanced and up) the AI is adept at counter your punches. I wait for them to come to me alot and weave and catch them with a counter. On advanced you can still mix it up and jab and initiate attacks - on expert/ultimate - I only initiate jabs. The rest are counter strikes - the AI is that good.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

At the end.....my over all was a 87, ranked number 1, defended my title 16 times. Longest winning streak was 18 twice. My career record was 46-2 on expert.

When I copied my fighter, his over all shot up to 97.

I didn't learn any moves outside of the mandatory one. Didn't level up any moves either in career mode. There was no point to it. In my career because of my speed, which was at 85 for majority for my career as a heavyweight, that is all I needed was speed.

I had 20 KO's, 10 submission wins and the rest TKO victories. Only 4 fights in my whole 48 fight career went passed the first round. My only 2 loses came from KO, Kongo and Rothwell.

I submitted Mir, Nog, Struve, Goodridge, Coleman, CroCop, Shogun, Evans all with the basic level 1 armbar and RNC.

Speed kills......I KO'ed a lot of them with counter punches.

How did you improve so much? Did you get extra points or just redistribute what you already had...?

If you play as heavyweight or bantam weight, you get extra points and you can redistribute them anyway as you wish. Which is why I never bothered doing camp sessions, since at the end once you copy your fighter, you can redistribute that as well and can choose what ever move you want your fighter to have along with what level rating for that move.

I agree camp sessions are useless unless you want the logos. But my fighter is a heavyweight and after I retire and copy I have technique points but no points for skills or attributes.....

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

I must've did something wrong because I'm not getting a whole bunch of extra points to use with this trick. It only shows me as having 200 available points to use for my skills. I finished my Heavyweight career with an 85 overall and when I redistribute the points into different categories the highest I'm able to get it is 90 overall. I won't be able to make a Prime Fedor unless I do this stupid career again and earn more points. This is so ********. Why do they make it so hard to make a guy the way that you want.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

I had alot of fun with career mode... and some frustration ha. I finished with a 37-11 record(advanced), 90 overall LH. I thought I'd never get a chance to win the title.. kept losing 1-2 in a row after climbing to the top 10. I stayed in that 10-15 range WAY to long. Finally, climbed high enough for a title shot and won, only to lose it against Jones in the next fight(who I had avoided fighting my whole career lol.. had no choice this time!). I spent my last year winning the pride GP, and never got a chance at a rematch for MY title!

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 3 Impressions Thread

Seems a lot of people are playing on Advanced. I just went with what the Career mode tutorial suggested, which was Expert, but I think it may have been the wrong choice. I'm currently 7-7 and still in WFA, jumped from MW to LW because I was getting smoked, now I can't beat guys who are equal to me in ratings (roughly 72ish).

I played a couple Career matches on Advanced and found that I was winning pretty easily. Do the matches get more difficult in Advanced? Am I just wasting my time and sanity trying to grind through the WFA on Expert? Haha, any advice would be awesome!
