Anyone check agressiveness on easy and normal instead of just hard and very hard?

Its much worse on easy and normal. On hard and very hard, the cpu is more likely to defend and take a step back. I've actually gone 30 seconds with the CPU not throwing punches because it was stepping back and resetting looking for counters.

On Easy and Normal, the CPU is careless so it just goes forward.

only got to try out 2 fights of each organization so far. 1st fight i was Rampage and got dominated by the Ax Murderer. He KO'd me though on a shot where i clearly landed the stronger punch. He rocked me most of the fight because i was getting used to the guys not moving in and out that fast. 2nd fight i got my revenge and took him out with an uppercut.

For the UFC i was Jon Jones and spent most of the fight on top of Silva on the ground, just landing elbows. I won a decision in that fight. The next one i ended up TKOing him after landing a nice spinning back fist to drop him.

I was impressed with this years game and it does make me want to go out and get it but the only complaints i really had were the ability to circle still isn't that great. It's important in real life fighting to be able to move in and out or cirlce around but in video games you often are forced to stand in front of your opponent. The other thing was that they make Jon Jones throw too many spinning back elbows. Not that they make you throw them but it's a move that is way too easy to overuse especially because it's one of his best to KO people with. The last thing is picky but just the lack of emotion from Buffer. Anyone who watches the UFC know about his signature moves and how nuts he goes especially for main events. But in the game you don't get that emotion. In addition to that the Jon Jones chant sounds kind of lame. They need to work on the crowd noise.

Overall though i enjoyed the demo and i'm now at least thinking of buying it. I just how a career mode or season mode where we don't have to create a custom guy can keep me interested enough to justify buying it.

to the person who was talking about accidentally initiating submissions i did have that issue a few times as well. It wasn't a huge deal because i got to try out the sub system and i was able to stay in control even when they got out of it but i hope that isn't an issue on the retail version.

For the first time in a UFC game I am excited about the offline to be honest. The Sim stamina setting and Advanced difficulty is challenging but also fair and the fights can go either way for me. I am excited to see how CAF offline career mode will be. I wanna know if I create a dominant submission guy that I can rule the ground and catch the CPU with submissions this year.

You can take an actual fighter into Career Mode this year. There is a lengthy video on Gamespot where they glance over Career Mode. At about the 23:25 mark they start talking about Career Mode. Here is the link:

Had a pretty awesome moment. I KO'd Silva with Rampage with an uppercut, and when I approached him and pressed X, he did the Hendo forearm smash.

Right now I'm leaning on not buying.

It's just sock-em-rock-em-robots 2012. I try combos, picking shots, trying to play sort of realistically - throwing leg kicks in, feinting, clinching, swaying - what does the AI do? Jackson just walks around and every once in a while throws power bomb 3 punch combos... Then he'll try for a take down here and there - then if he fails or it gets back up - it's just circle around until the next 3 punch power combo. It's ridiculous. I've tried Advanced, Expert, Ultimate - they're all the same.

The submission game is also a submission killer to me. It takes me completely out of the game and makes me focus on something entirely unrelated - some sort of cat and mouse game where I'm chasing dots around.

It's frustrating because ground fighting is my favorite aspect of MMA - and it's totally lost in this game, and the submissions are just not fun at all.

I'm really quite disappointed with this game.

Re: UFC Undisputed 3 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

fair enough on the side mount - I can't believe no one else is not experiencing accidentally initiating subs - we were both doing it with fairly new controllers ... not a game breaker - just super annoying.

I feel like this game wont need too many tweaks when it comes out which is refreshing- I can live without any actually, a shame there will be no ranked sim fatigue setting but maybe they'll patch it.

more questions

Has anyone entered the stun state from a body blow? havent seen that yet

and is it always X amount of leg kicks before a leg kick TKO? or can you almost have a like flash leg kick KO?

Some transition reversals go directly to a sub.

Holy hell. I can't stop playing Pride mode! Me and some friends have been taking turns doing 1v1's, its so much fun lol. I really love the Pride ruleset, being able to stomp/kick/knee a downed opponents head makes it so much more visceral feeling. So violent! I'm loving it lol.

thats pretty much how Rampage fights in real life these days. He walks around and looks for bombs and throws 3 punch bomb combos for the KO.

Having stayed away from MMA for about a year, this game has suddenly reignited my passion for the sport.

Really an awesome game so far. The PRIDE aspect is AMAZING!

They do a great job with the commentary during replays when a guy gets knocked out.

They do a great job with the commentary during replays when a guy gets knocked out.

I really like the commentary with the exception of when a fight goes to a decision. Just because it goes to the judges doesn't mean that it's boring (see Hendo/Shogun, Edgar/Maynard 2, etc.). Hopefully, it's just a demo size issue.

Tonight I played about 11-12 fights (8-9 UFC and the rest Pride). I used the same setting in each fight - Which was expert, default, sim. I didn't see a single knockout in all of the UFC fights. Anyone who played the KO fest that 2010 was knows that this is potentially a great thing. I did get knocked-out by Wandy in Pride mode, but it was about 8 minutes into the fight. The rest of the Pride fights ended in TKO.

I still think that the CPU is a little to aggressive, however I noticed that if you give that a hard counter punch or two, then they will back off quite a bit. I actually noticed a few times were the CPU would go more that 20-25 seconds without making a single offensive move. I'm definitely not seeing the 3 punches and take down thing. I did have one fight were Anderson would grab me in the clinch every chance he got, but that's a positive, in my opinion. I don't want the A.I. to fight the same way every time.

One negative is that the CPU's stamina is off. I kept noticing that my fighters stamina was always less than my opponents at the end of each fight. I turned the HUD on for the last few fights and you can clearly that your stamina drains faster. Unless I'm imagining it, but I don't think that I am.

I agree. I feel that the CPU's stamina is not decreasing at the same pace.
