    I hold ufc undisputed 2009 dear to my heart. It’s legit what made me a fan of mma. It was 2011 I was in my early teens and I had just got an Xbox 360 and I didn’t really have any games for it so I downloaded the ufc undisputed 2009 demo and it only let me play as chuck Liddell or shogun rua and I must’ve played it for hours. One afternoon I got bored of playing it and I decided to look up chuck Liddell on TH-cam and I ended up watching all of his fights, which introduced me to a bunch of older fighters too. I’ve been an huge ufc/mma fan ever since.

      @panspermiapancakes ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like the concept of it in the modern era but it would still probably tank in terms of sales. These other mma promotions don't have the same type of star power on their rosters. They'd have to capitalize on retired fighters no longer under contract with the UFC if it were to gain even a slight attraction. As for their current roster star power, they have Francis Ngannou, AJ McKee, Pitbull, MVP. Fedor and Aaron Pico. Beyond that, there really isn't much hype for any cross promotion video game that could become successful. It might help them if they bring legends of the sport into the game and have them in their prime form for the video game, but it'd still be a risky investment for a video game.

      EA MMA is basically what OP described, it already exists, and as explained in the video, it did very poorly in terms of sales and they actually managed to grab many star fighters for the games roster.
      Unfortunately, the UFC brand is what sells, even in the gaming world. Bellator does have a video game that came out back on the xbox 360 era but it was pretty terrible for an mma game and flew under the radar entirely.

    Honestly main differences I see between the Undisputed and EA series comes down to the feel of movement and the abysmal grappling system in the EA games. I much prefer the more mashy style of Undisputed and actually making inputs to counter each others grappling. Made the grappling actually feel like a struggle for positioning and far less flow chart based.

      I believe UFC games are still held hostage under contract with EA so unfortunately what you are describing is an impossibility unless somebody else, like a smaller, better studio makes maybe an unlicensed MMA game, kind of like how that boxing game is. That boxing game is licensed though it has all the famous boxers in the world, it used to be called E-Sports Boxing Club but they changed the name now to just Undisputed. God knows if that game will ever fully release, but when it does it definitely will be a game that you can see is made with some passion, very little of which can be seen in any of the EA UFC games.

Only complaint is I think you did Danny Bilson a bit dirty, don't think that the shots at him were justified in the slightest.

Miss it constantly and wish I had never gotten rid of my Xbox 360 so I could still play it.

    •  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can now play it with an emulator called rpcs3 on your PC and everything works. The career mode only crashes on the punching bag mini game, so you have to either do auto training on it, or quit the training before the time elapses. Other than that, my career mode is currently 30-0 with Cro Cop, having recently won the Pride GP and have defended my UFC title 9 times :D
      If you want to play with current day fighters there is a mod called UFC Undisputed Forever that lets you install the current UFC roster to your game.

    EA MMA is criminally underrated by the community. I just picked it up about a month ago and have played it like crazy since. The ability to choose between organizations makes you feel like a real fighter, and having to work your way up from crappy regional promotions to a major one feels so fulfilling. EA UFC doesnt hold a candle to the old game

    Fantastic video and incredibly thorough journalism Bayliun! Superb content!
    However; EA still to this day denying that they ever said MMA wasn’t a real sport speaks volumes of who they are as a company. Especially when considering the fact that they show how little they appreciate the sport through the casual attitude towards their games and the fact that they have previously expressed their desires to move away from the UFC and make Fight Night games again. R.I.P. THQ 😔

      EA is lying through their teeth when their developer says they didn't blow off UFC. If not, why didn't they reach out to UFC when they DID decide to begin their MMA game? it's because they burned that bridge, until EA and UFC decided to sabatoge THQ.

    THQ did amazing work with both WWE and UFC. Their games were simple enough to play but had depth for anyone who wanted it. Their problem has been the same time and time again. They create an awesome product that the fans love. Then someone like Take Two or E. A come along and completely outbid them. Those companies also get a long contract for that money and then the sport is locked into their crappy games. The truth of the matter is, if people just stopped buying their games for two years they would scrap them. THQ should make a Vanilla MMA and wrestling game with the ability to mod it as much as you like. This would destroy E.A and Take Twos hold on the sports market.

      True story, I was in the Marines in 2005. Walked into my buddies barracks room. They were glued to this fighter reality show. I stood there for a few and said I'll catch yall later. Fast forward a few weeks later, they were about 7 deep in one barracks room watching Forrest VS Bonnar about to walk into thr cage for their finale. I stayed and watched it and fell in live with MMA since the horn rung to end that fight. Then, the UFC giving Bonnar the contract despite the loss was epic. In hindsight, there were better fights, but there was no better way for me to get into the sport!

  • @Lutfur12345

    When people compare both games it's really simple, undisputed was made by fans who support martial arts and listened to it's community who improved upon their game every release, EA is made by money hungry greed's who make little changes to its core game other than graphics and roster and plaster popular fighters on its cover to make a quick buck, undisputed 3 is still the best mixed martial arts game we've seen and that's saying a lot considering its been a decade since it's release

    EA taking over the UFC license is literally why I left gaming in the PS3 era. I still play Undisputed 3 allllllllllllll the time and I am still finding animations I've never seen before. I saw the EA UFC Demo on PS4, tried it at a friend's house and set down the controller within 5 minutes. It was horrible. Clunky animations, slow response time for striking and the sense of excitement seemed to be missing entirely.

      @vanjatomic723 Even though it's hard to go back and play it now, its so simplistic and bare bones, it was absolutely cutting edge back in 09. I remember my first kid was born in June of 09 and Undisputed came out like a few weeks before that. Since I was pretty much at the house every second when I was off work, I played the hell out of it. Played through the career and then jumped online and I had so much fun playing it. Convinced about 6 or 7 of my coworkers to get it so I pretty much always had someone to play against. We would fight for hours, talking trash back and forth on our mics and then the next day at work we would talk even more trash, always eager to jump online soon as we left work trying to keep the rivalry going. I really miss those days.......Undisputed 2009 and Modern Warfare 2. Now I rarely play anything online

    My biggest problem with ALL the ufc games is the lack of options in create a fighter/career mode. They barely have any options for tattoos, hair styles ect. It drives me crazy theres very limited options for those things an you can only add 100 tattoos to a fighter which may sound like a lot but if you are like me an love tattoos an want to cover them in nice realistic tattoos you are just sol basically because that hundred gets filled up very fast an the few tattoo options they have gets old very very fast. Ive been begging them to fix this for YEARS. However I do love how in the newest games you have complete freedom of the size/placement of the tattoos unlike past games where they made you choose from pre selected sizes and spots on the body. That shit was so stupid so i am glad they fixed that but they gotta fix this issue i just stated. If they did that itd be a perfect game for me. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS EA!!

    I was not aware of this ongoing development. A significant amount of effort and time has been invested in creating this content! EA Sports MMA held a special place in my heart on the Xbox 360. It was the only game I decided to keep even after getting rid of my Xbox. It still sits on my shelf, catching my eye every day. Another classic that deserves a remake is Def Jam: Fight for NY. I would absolutely love to see both of these games revived.

    Great piece. Respect to Mac and MartialMind for bringing a fan's point of view, and good on you guys for getting those interviews with EA. This added a lot of clarity. Undisputed 3 PRIDE Ed. is my personal favorite combat sports game of all time, and I wish EA would take more of a focus to the single-player experience, or add a Online World Championship mode where you develop your created fighter by earning attributes online. They did such a good job with the Fight Night series, so they definitely have that capability in them.

    As much as I loved the THQ UFC games THQ did their downfall to themselves. When you base your entire business on mediocre licensed games to make quick bucks those shortcuts will catch up. Had they only made that maybe 40-60% of their model and pushed original a good quality games they’d still be there. Instead they were a lightweight version of EA and it kept them in the middle until the HK game culture changed. They were behind the times for 10 years. It’s their fault.
