Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

[baumy300]

It seems that some people have already gotten their hands on the game. I am hoping those who are fortunate enough would share some things with us here.

First question I have is this - Are the submissions still impossible to pull off like in the demo?

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Yup, a couple of people on my buddy's XBL list were playing the game last night. Hopefully some peeps here got it too. I'm itching for some full impressions.

Are there more than 2 fighting styles? I want to see more than guys either going all out for takedowns or all out for striking. I want to see guys mix it up in various ways.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Bump since people are getting the game.

Hook it up with some thoughts, guys! I know you're cracking out on it right now, but don't leave us hangin'...

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Just got the game for the PS3

Impressions

1. higher difficulties plays harder than the demo
2. There is a slight framerate issue for the PS3 version, doesn't happen that much but noticeable.
3. Pulling submissions still feels a little hard for me and maybe for others.
4. Brock Lesnar is a beast.
5. When you fight at MSG or Mandalay Bay you get a PPV broadcast but when you fight at the Palms you get a UFC FN presentation.
6. Did I mention Brock Lesnar is a beast.
7. When you fight a 5 round fight its a title fight, whoever is the red corner is champion. In the end of the fight there is a cutscene showing Dana White putting the belt around your waist.
8. Staredowns only happen in title fights.

can you elaborate on number 1 ?? how did you get to this conclusion? did you test with shogun vs liddell and noticed a difference?

if it was 2 random fighters u chose, it should be harder as it is your first time out with them.

thanks JV

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Initial impressions after only a few exihbitions is that the game is harder than the demo. IE I could win the majority of the time on advanced and Expert and found myself moving down all the way to experience in my first few games. Fought with Penn on advance and kept losing to Lauzon. Takes a bit to get use to no head kicks with certain guys as that was my big weapon with Rua. Don't know what to say short of the exhibition mode rocks. Haven't had a chance to touch create a fighter or anything like that yet.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Hey play as against Karo and Nakamara and let me know how their judo skills are in this game. Oh and play against Nate Diaz to let me know if he truly deserves his insanely high sub offensive rating

I've played with random fighters but random top fighters ie. Brock,Mir, Rampage and etc. But I played a match with me as Mir and the cpu as Cro Cop and I destroyed him. I then fought Brock and he's too strong. There is a huge difference in difficulty when fighting a elite fighter and a not so great fighter. The announcing is superb, when I high kicked Cro Cop Rogan comes out with a cool line and says "Cro Cop was just Cro Coped" which I found pretty cool. So Yeah forget about #1.

If any of you guys have created a fighter, can you tell me if can edit attributes and put them as high as you can.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Someone posted this on gamefaqs,

"I played today... here are some results.

I went 2-3 against the devs. All 5 round matches. Won a match by decision and sub. He won two of his by subs and one by TKO.

I was Karo, Dan Henderson, Wanderlei, Lyoto, Cro Cop. I usually was a head in the matches in terms of wearing his stamina down when he would sub me after a quick takedown.

Now for the nitty-gritty:
1 - You don't get to see who the opponent is selecting
2 - The online connection is going to be really iffy. I would often throw head kicks and it would sometimes slow down and he would shoot in out of nowhere to take me down. I'm running on a 10 meg cable service.
3 - After the matches, you can press "Start" to request a rematch and leave feedback (along with viewing their gamercard). If not, you can press "A" and search for more matches.
4 - After the match, they'll be a breakdown of the damage down your body (head, chest, arms, legs) and another fight area for stats on how the individual won and which round.
5 - You'll never know if your opponent has his/her stamina bar on. When you press start in the middle of the game you can either A: "Give up" or B: "Return to match." Once again, your opponents can turn on their stamina bar and you would never know (I had mine on since I was using it for classic fights mode and he said he couldn't tell if I had mine on or not).
6 - No mirror matches online, but I don't know how it works if someone picks the same character.
7 - We watched all the intros... I am not sure if you are forced to, but I was pressing start and all the buttons to try and advance and couldn't. Both fighters might have to.
8 - In the intros, your "Ranked MMA Record" will be shown and be broken down by sub-ko-decision.

I think I've covered the gist of things. It was an all right online experience. Online connections could be improved since there was obvious lag"

Great stuff so far guys, keep it coming.

Re: Official UFC Undisputed 2009 Impressions

Can't see who the opponent is picking.....wow....interesting. You going in blind, so I guess people better pick their ace right off the bat.

Those things concern me. Lag problems and the game isn't even out yet? How bad will it be once everyone has it? I plan on playing this game online for the most part, so this worries me.

I also don't like how someone can turn the stamina bar on and you not know it, that puts the person with the bar off at a huge disadvantage. Maybe there is an option where no one can turn it on.
