UFC 2009 Undisputed

[Baddar]

What buttons do people use when trying to block the takedown attempt?

I'm using R, moving it away from the fighter as it says in the book, then repeatedly tapping X or O to try to stop it if he gets hold of me. Am I doing this properly? Facing guys like Maia is hard when 95% of the time he tries taking you down ...and your ground defence isn't very good because it's difficult to prevent the full mount. Once someone gets in that position, it feels like the game will decide whether or not the opponent will let you up by trying and failing with a submission attempt.

Any tips on defending against this would be good. I'm slowly getting used to the transitions now I think, but when moving the R analog as instructed doesn't work, I wonder whether I've done it wrong or if the opponent is blocking it.

Still, scored a wonderful TKO on Maia at about the 7th time of asking earlier in the 3rd. I managed to duck a right, put him down then pounded away at him, blood spilling for around 5 seconds before Mario stepped in.

In summary, I'm ok on my feet, very average on the ground. Help with that is appreciated.

I was going to buy this yesterday but GAME only offered me £8 for Gears 2. I was expecting double that and then I'd pay the difference, but £8 for something they'll probably sell for about £25 is shite, so I'll wait for a price drop or maybe check Morrisons later today.

Glorious knock-out against Bisping as Ortiz. Rocked him with the overhand punch then followed up with a beautiful uppercut, which caught him square on the chin and sent him flat on his back.

Then it was Lesnar against Coleman. Coleman caught me with a right near the start and I never fully recovered. He eventually got me on the ground right next to the cage and killed me. It was hilarious how Brock just died with his head propped up against the cage. But the next two fights put the old bastard into a forced retirement.

I should also say I'm pretty shit on the ground. When I guy gets on top of me I'm turning and twisting that right joystick to hell and though it gets me a temporary repreive he's usually back there sooner rather than later. I don't know how but I managed to survive almost a full round of this against Evan Tanner - I was Dan Henderson - before I literally charge at him at the start of round two and knocked him out within 3 seconds. It felt fantastic to send that dead cunt back to hell.

That's why I don't want to play online, they'll take me to the ground and I'm done. I enjoy the stand-ups and knockouts more, and I don't mind the odd ground and pound of course. And how the fuck do you get in that really good, proper ground and pound position the CPU always does it with me? You know, the one where he's basically on top of you and the camera pans over the top?

Barn: Do get into the full mount position, simply turn the right stick from the 10 o' clock position down to the 6 o' clock position. It works for me, and is the best way to get any form of transition I find generally, especially when defending. Have a flick through your instructions manual and it gives you the primary defence controls on the ground. Worth it.

 

[Dundon's]

If you're talking about popping your head up out of his guard when you have full mount then you're looking to roll the right stick from one bottom corner to the other.

Also if he's on top of you in full mount and you manage to pull his head onto your chest you can do a reversal by flicking the right stick right just at the right time when he's about to pull his head out. This will flip him onto his back with you in his full guard.

This is a serious serious game.

This is a serious serious game.

I hope thats not tongue in cheek humour i'm sensing in this thread :realmad:


This game is truly immense.

I started a career mode today, I made a lightweight Boxer, with wrestling skill.

He's pretty shit, but I shall be piledriving with the best of them soon!! When I actually learn some wrestling moves

 

[Krishna]

Why is the career so hard? Maybe it's the way I train my fighter.

Dude did you used to compete in the Evo Elite league back in the PES5 days?

 

[Charlie]

I'm getting into my Career now, and I'm now 4 fights deep with Thomas "The Doctor" Hunter. :lol:

Im 6-0-0 so far as 'The Headhunter' Charlie Hegarty. Im 6"1, have a full beard and wear them wee GSP shorts, black ankle supports (to match the short colour) and then a tatoo on my left calf. Im ranked 8th in the Middleweight division.

I look like van Persie, though :no:

I love this game more than my brothers and sisters. My first child's middle name will be UFC.

 

[Dale C.]

Haha!

I'm the headhunter aswell.

I wish you could enter text for your nickname, or there be a bigger choice.

 

[Hunter]

Haha!

I wanted "The Headhunter" but it sounded quite gay when saying it to myself: Thomas "The Headhunter" Hunter.

I'm currently about 4 wins and 1 loss in my Career I think. My kicks are my main asset, hence Kickboxing.

 

[Papa]

Would you lads recommend this game to someone who isn't a UFC fan?

I don't dislike it particularly, I just don't watch it.

I've never watched it before in my life mate, but I love this game.
Essentially, for a non-UFC fan, Its beating people up, which is always good.

Its really deep, and theres thousands of move combinations you can do. No fight is ever the same really.

One thing I'd watch out for is the terminology lol I sometimes find myself thinking 'what the fuck does that even mean' lol

Get it, you wont regret it!

Anyone getting the 3-month half price Setanta deal ? I think I will myself to be honest. Cancelling Sky Sports as the football season is over and that is all they're good for. Setanta has a much broader range of sports I'd say and exclusive to UFC which is a major bonus. Was crushed when Setanta bought the rights from Bravo. Haven't watched it seriously since then.

Does anybody here already have Setanta ? Is it possible to get it while you're a Sky+ owner or do you purely have to have terrestrial or freeview ? If that's the case then that is no doubt pathetic on Setanta's behalf. I've read through the terms & conditions and it seems you have to wait for them to send out your Setanta card to decode the service, which is poor in my opinion. It means if I order it tonight, I won't be able to watch the UFC pay-per-view later on because I'm waiting for a piece of plastic from Luxembourg. Terrible terrible idea if true.

 

[Charlie]

I havent played the game alot since I got it, I havent got the peace which is annoying because Im off work but still cant get time to relax and play it. Next week is a busy week too so playing time will be limited.

I need to get ready for the PESGUFC competition.

I have Setanta and if you have Sky+ (which is satellite, as the offer states is open to...) you'll be fine.

Their coverage is shit though. The picture quality is awful too. Watching on a regular TV is recommended. I watch it on my Sony Bravia...but because it's not a HD channel, the quality is shit.

The "Football Matters" show is alright I suppose, but their football coverage is shit too. As are most of their commentators/pundits.

It does boast a wide range of sports though...and UFC, I'll give it that.

I only have it because it's free on the Virgin package I've got.

Okay, my Motto, Bio is all about Chuck Norris and has a lesbian line in there, Location says Free Derry, Ireland, Name says Chuck F***** Norris and my Personal Picture is me showin my Barca shirt.

What the fuck?

 

[Hunter]

Cheers Baddar, think I'll invest for the summer then. Apparently since I've got Sky+ I won't need to wait for a "Setanta card", is this right ? Would Setanta just appear on Sky if I've purchased it ?

Charlie, I thought you'd have known about the Code of Conduct mind, seems to be quite a popular form of banning. My friend was banned due to it last year, think it's common sense mind not to have profanity in your profile as a lot of kids will obviously be playing.

*tut tut*

My name, motto, bio and location have been the same for at least seven months and they choose now to ban me? When I have 2 days left on my Live membership and when Ive just got the UFC. Bastards.

Those kids have worse on their profiles and their language is terrible and yet someone gets me banned for having 'Lesbians wouldnt exist, if they had of met Chuck Norris'.

Ah well. Anyway, I heard you can change your name when youve been banned? Any truth in this, lads?

 

[Dundon's]

Started my own career tonight and went straight into the deep end by setting it to expert level, won the 1st fight in the gym and then lost my first two fights in the UFC because basically my fighter was in bits regards his stamina, a mistake i won't be making again. Grrrrrr.

Anyways it's not all bad because I'm now on a six match winning streak and have got to grips with the whole thing.

Oh and my nick name is Quick Silver. :boss:


P.S. Has anyone played much online yet?, I'm hearing lag issues.
