    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...

    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. ...

    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...

    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...
  • UFC 2010 Early Reviews Glowing But Flawed

    The first reviews for UFC 2010 Undisputed are starting to roll in and they heaping praise on the game. Official Playstation Magazine has given it a 9/10 while GamePro has awarded it a perfect 5/5. Clearly it looks like UFC 2010 is going over well and is likely headed towards getting high scores across the board. Given the great response to the demo and publicized improvements and additions that shouldn't a surprise. What is irksome about these reviews is that they did not do any evaluation ...

    THQ may be set to announce that a code will be needed to access online play for UFC 2010 Undisputed. The rumor seems to have originated at UndisputedOnline.net though it has since been established elsewhere as well. Apparently posts at the official UFC Undisputed forum that have discussed the possible news have been repeatedly deleted leading many to believe there is legitimacy to it. Though the original rumor was just that THQ would be making a controversial revelation regarding UFC 2010 the ...
  • UFC 2010 Undisputed Fight Camps Video

    THQ has released a new video detailing the online Fight Camps feature being introduced in UFC 2010 Undisputed. Not much had been known about the online league-like system other than it would allow for teammates to train together, would track records and stats, and would tie into the new community website. Unfortunately the video doesn't go into specific details such as the max number of fighters per camp or whether created fighters, existing fighters, or both can be used in camps. It does h...
