One of the orange pegs that travels along the edge of the octagonal symbol is blue, the other red. The whole arrangement resembles a puzzle game where timing and precision determines whether you succeed in unlocking from the grip or not. Way too hard.Įvery time you connect a grip on your opponent, an octagonal symbol appears on screen.

Yuke's took on the criticisms it received for this and developed a completely new system, which at first glance, instead feels too hard. Previously it has only been about who is able to rotate the left analog stick fastest when it comes to submissions versus submission-defense. You get faster and clearer signals in fights over what is happening and it is no longer as simple, or by chance, to win over opponents via submission. One can see small differences in the timing, and all the fighters have better straight shots, which has eliminated those strange situations from last year's version, which saw fighters coming too close to each other during an impact duel and ending with a 12 cm distance between the two and throwing half-twisted elbows against each other's chins. You can use both "soccer kicks" and "head stomps" in Pride Fashion and knees to the head of a grounded opponent. The presentation is perfect and adds plenty of atmosphere.
#Ufc undisputed 3 submission series#
The Undisputed series however has sold like hot cakes and in view of the newly Pride mode, I assume it will also be the case this time. EA's contenders flopped big time and it took only a few months before they decided to drop out of mixed martial arts arena altogether. "ĭana does not want to talk more about his competitor, and I'm not looking to force the issue. We bought Pride several years ago and since the start of this game series have had plans to include it in Undisputed. I suggest that it was due to EA Sports including traditional boxing rings and Japanese mixed martial arts rules in EA Sports MMA, which now has the UFC and THQ doing the same. In Undisputed 3, we believe that we have done this legendary organisation justice. We wanted to do something really great with Pride when we decided to put it in the game.

I ask Dana why Pride was not included in the previous games. UFC Undisputed 3 contains further improvements in the striking system, a new submission feature, and a long awaited Pride mode. UFC Undisputed 2010 had slightly better game control than 2009, with online-based training places and a better system to fight in the clinch. In the case of UFC Undisputed the upgrades between major updates haven't been particularly radical.
