The Latest Look at EA Sports MMA Footage
For a game this isn't scheduled to release for another five months or so we've been able to get a number of unprecedented opportunities to see early EA Sports MMA gameplay. With E3 only a week and a half away this is probably my most anticipated game to spend time with. I came across a new video that includes Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and features some gameplay and quick glances at things like fighter entrances and post-fight celebrations. Considering how much time there is left in developm...

Through a posting on the UFC 2010 Undipsuted community site troubling areas with the game such as online stability, exploits, and feedback related gameplay fixes are discussed. Top critical issues such as Super CAF's with respect to point distribution methods, Lyoto's instant-takedown (and all others like it), ...

UFC 2010 Online Seeing Some Improvement
After two tumultuous days we may finally be seeing the first signs that UFC 2010 Undisputed is turning things around with its online play. As detailed on release day the issues with lag, connecting into fights, the Fight Camps feature, and troubles in other areas were creating unrest in the community. That may be easing up a bit as of this afternoon. (more…)...

Complaints Abound Over UFC 2010 Online Code Setup
While issues with pretty much everything connected to online for UFC 2010 Undisputed continue (and in some ways having even gotten worse so more to come on that) there has been increased chatter on the code redemption process that has been instituted to provide access to online play. Kotaku had a great article about this last night which went into some of the big concerns and prompted a response from THQ. The bottom line is that the program was not communicated well and in turn the perception ...

UFC 2010 Hard Drive Evaluation
With UFC 2010 Undisputed in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. UFC 2010 has some lengthy load times in a bunch of areas and also stutters some throughout navigation. Installing to the hard drive brought noticeable i...

Early Issues With UFC 2010 Undisputed
Given my disdain of the early reviews overlooking online play (article here and discussed at length in the Padrecast) I've been following all the early developments for UFC 2010 Undisputed. I'm sure glad we got those perfect score reviews out as early as possible so as to gloss over the problems that would be found primarily with online play. Since the reviews didn't want to examine any of these things I decided to collect them and get them out there so as to push for them to be addressed. ...

PFC 2010 Fighter Assignments
With the release of UFC 2010 Undisputed today here is the announcement of the fighter assignments for the Padre Fighting Championship league. We still don't have the exact structure of the league determined quite yet as that largely dependent on how well the online features work and the amount of flexibility they provide. For the time being we will be monitoring online performance (early reports of issues with severe lag are troubling) and testing out the Fight Camps feature before laying d...

Confirmed: UFC 2010 Requires Code for Online Play
Earlier this week word started leaking out that THQ would be including a unique one-time use code in new copies of UFC 2010 Undisputed. This code provides access to all online play functionality. If a used copy of the game is bought or if the game is rented, one would have to purchase a code through the marketplace. THQ still has not commented even on the existence of this code program, which means amongst other details we are still left to wonder if there is any sort of trial period like E...
