Doing training manually also means you’ll get a better stat increase than if you allow it to happen automatically. However, some stats can suffer slightly if you do the same training repeatedly. Your stats are improved through various training modes like submission training or cage control and new moves, as well as their effectiveness, can also be trained at one of the Training camps, all based on real world locations.

Fortunately, stat degradation does not make an appearance in UFC Undisputed 3, so this is easier to manage. The Career mode is deep in that you really have to keep an eye on the stats of your fighter, as well as those of the opposition. After that it’s off to the World Fighting Alliance, which really acts as a tutorial showing the various parts of the career mode, from choosing your opponent, training, working on a game plan and the shop, where you can purchase items and upgrades for your fighter. You start first with a mini tutorial which helps determine which difficulty you should play on. There is no story here, just your fighter, created or from the roster, and a whole host of people to fight. It is a welcome addition to the franchise, though some may see it as an intrusion and something that can break the immersion of a fight. Should the defender stay away from the attacker’s token then they get out of the submission hold. Should the attacker keep within distance of the defender’s token before time runs out then they win. The attacker tries to gain the advantage and win by chasing the defender’s token around an Octagon display. UFC Undisputed 3 introduces a mini game for submission battles which could be described as a game of tag.

#PS3 UFC UNDISPUTED 3 SERIES#
Instead of being thrown in to the deep end with the technical controls the series is known for there is a setting for Amateur controls that, for example, allow for much simpler transitions in take downs and clinches, changing position with a flick of the right analog stick instead of rotating it in different directions.Īs well as this change, the submission system has also been simplified. The first thing that can be noted is that UFC Undisputed 3 is a lot more accessible for new players to the series than previous iterations. The previous games – UFC Undisputed 2009 and UFC Undisputed 2010 – were both met with positive reviews but after its year and a half long break has the UFC game franchise returned as a contender or a has been? It’s a modern day gladiator contest, though with a lot less death than the ancient bouts of the Coliseum. The Ultimate Fighting Championship has become one of the biggest sport organisations in the world, with televised events drawing millions of viewers.
