The UNDISPUTED 3 ground game + ground n pound is the most brutal and realistic system I’ve ever seen 😢

[@jopkins_yt]

It's amazing, even thought he sound effects aren't realistic it adds to the impact when you hurt your opponent

I may sound crazy... however if Undisputed (boxing) can fix roughly 5 core issues. I think they can do it.

@@MytonSteelVery true Bro, I actually got some features mixed up, especially in the career mode. UFC 2010 was a beast of a game.

Thanks to emulation and the modding community,UFC Undisputed 3 literally has modern day rosters...(Look it up) This game is like pride,it will never die.

[@ClaimerUncut]

I've played it 😊 and I will promote it somewhat, Ive gotta be honest though, It removes legends from the sport and Pride mode itself is replaced by Rizin. Plus the new models don't quite match up. For me the game in its original state is perfectly fine, we just need netplay!

[@Shaolink]

UFC3 Undisputed was the best MMA game! Without a doubt! I loved the pride mode the soccer kicks and so on... I hope EA will get back on track with ufc 6.

[@grandtommyauto7564]

Glad you're still poking at Martial Mind, his shilling is getting worse.acting like it's so tough going back to UFC 4 after playing 5, he's pushing his audience hard to buy it, and then he'll spend months complaining about it.

[@ClaimerUncut]

Yeah someone told me he's part of some sort of EA "Influencer" partnership, which means he benefits financially supporting the game. It's a shame, I used to think he had integrity, however he's taken the same path as many big KZbinrs.

[@SiNsCere1100]

Great vid Claimer, The Input latency isn't spoken about enough. I've never watched a UFC 4 Pro fight and left being impressed, because often both parties get hit with strikes which could end the fight, and overall it looks like a disjointed mess

[@ClaimerUncut]

Input latency is one of the main reasons I don't play the new UFC games, all power to the "elite" players who take the time to master a broken system, however that's not for me

[@mishimakazuya6167]

I finally got UFC undisputed 3 to work on emulator and played it for the first time yesterday. I had thought people are overrating it and it isnt that good. But after playing it myself I was mindblown. Like did current ufc developers not play the game? They could learn so much and it could inspire them to do an amazing game. The ground game is so good, you can't get stuck that easily and be in an annoying stale fight in undisputed. I love the game now

[@bluebone1116]

You honestly raised a lot of valid points. I was gonna buy it in like a month but now ima wait til it hits the bargain bin. My only issue with undisputed 3 is the lack of a women's division. Otherwise its better than the shit EA been putting out for years. The only real gem of ea ufc games was 2 and maybe ea mma depending on how you feel about it

[@ClaimerUncut]

Thanks man, holding out until a discount is the best option. I only bought UFC 4 recently for 6.99 and even then.. I regret it! I can see where UFC 2 had it's perks for sure, however THQ in my opinion set the bar, and EA lowered it substantially.

[@jacobhoover4393]

The ground game is the biggest edge undisputed has over all the ea games. It’s unreal how amazing it feels and how fluent it is compared to ea. I’m not sure how a billion dollar company like EA made such a terrible system. Even when you are good at it, it isn’t fun and still looks terrible

[@LuanJaguarREAL]

UFC Undisputed 3 will still stay as the greatest MMA game, fluid and smooth gameplay, attention to detail, presentation, concept, Pride mode, everything was so very well done. I am still playing UFCUD3 and FNC even till this day, made so many modern CAFs which keep the game going

[@smoothrealism8259]

Amazing detailed breakdown and comparison. I would love if you broke down ESBC Undisputed in a similar manner. Maybe compare it to other boxing games that do sim better.

[@BillyDaHustler]

I think Undisputed does alot better than both fight night and UFC. The main problems revoleve around punch impact, network play and exploits, but you can kinda class those all as bugs. Basically.. I think Undisputed still has the chance to be the best combat game if they fix basic things.

[@ClaimerUncut]

Thanks SR 🙏 once SCI release a solid update (network issues, AI, and exploit fixes) I'll look into creating something similar.

[@Venomgamin1885]

[@Darhkseid]

Great Video!

[@HighA59]

One thing I feel was a great idea about THQ UFC games was the ultimate fight mode. It made you play a certain way that you might have not otherwise, and it is through that mode that I really dug into the ground system, searching in the menus how to reach a particular position/submission etc... It was kind of a tutorial but with challenge in it, I loved it

[@BillyDaHustler]

Yo this was much better than I expected it to be, it's crazy when you think that EA UFC is a competitively broken game based on Input delay alone.

[@ClaimerUncut]

Thanks Billy, much appreciated 🙏If they fixed the Input delay, I'd be more invested in the game

[@ocerco93]

I never played a EA UFC game, ufc4 was my first one. I was on Fight night champion just before that, and the input delay just make go mad... how a old 2011 game is more responsive then a 2019 game ? UFC 4 was first and last EA ufc game... thq we need them.

[@Dojima700]

adding on to the different gyms you can train at in undisputed 3, whatever gym you train at in career mode before your next fight, you’ll have the trainers from that gym in your corner. So for example if in career mode you train at jackson mma, you’ll actually have greg jackson in your corner for your fight, i always thought that was a really cool detail that really showed how muh THQ cared about making undisputed 3 a great MMA sim

I know players were waiting a lot, and will get the game because of that, and i understand that, but if we want something new, not buy the game could be the best message we can send to EA. Imagine the kind of game we can have with all this new technologies we have, the power of consoles.. Hope it will happen one day...

The sadder truth is.. if influencers stopped promoting their broken games, EA would HAVE to care. My conclusion: The Influencer Era gives Big Corp no reason to improve their games, since they keep selling regardless.

[@chronichols2551]

No,they couldn't.

[@briansimmons6292]

I just dont agree that undisputed did alot of these things better. First off the control inputs. One of my biggest problems with undisputed was the speed up arcadey feel of the striking. Everything was too fast and made it feel and look like mortal kombat vs. A mma game based on reality. While the art style or graphics in ufc undisputed did look really good i always felt that the movement and speed of the fighters was far faster than the real life counterpart. To me thats where ea ufc really excelled. The overall movement feels more authentic. I will agree that ea ufc physics for damage can sometimes be pretty bad. As far as the ability to finish a fight quick with striking like getting a ko early in the first round, its very doable in both franchises in my opinion. And i personally enjoy the career mode in ea ufc more based solely on the training was more comparable to training for a fight where you are having multiple sparring sessions working on different disciplines. Yes fighters do do conditioning training as well like tire flips but the majority of real training is sparring or some form of it. As the saying goes the best way to train for a fight is fighting. I guess im just shocked that so many people like the undisputed games so much more than the ea games even though the ea games feel so much closer to the real thing the undisputed did. Although maybe more people want an arcade leaning game than a simulation i just always prefered ea's execution of ufc product over undisputed because the overall package fealt more like a mma sim to me. I just wish they could make madden good again that game is unplayable.

[@Uberroid457]

Played the BETA and sorry to admit it dudes. The stand up and new damage system make it one of the best mma sims I’ve played to date. (Been playing the games since ufc Throwdown) Once they add pride mode and give it a great career mode EA really has redeemed the franchise for me. Edit: The ground game and clinch do need to be improved and they are still not as good as undisputed BUT it’s definitely far from the worst I’ve played. EA games striking and roster beats the brakes off the THQ series.
