UFC Patch Hits Consoles
Written Thursday, July 30, 2009 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

There's nothing worse than playing a game online only to have people quit on you when you're on the brink of winning and have victory snatched away from you on the home straight. THQ's latest UFC title suffered from this major flaw, but fear not, today THQ announced that the latest patch is now live and it will rectify that.

The latest patch brings with it the news that online quitters will now be punished in the title, but I can't help but notice that the description mentions nothing about awarding the player who hadn't quit, the win ... which seems like another oversight. Let's hope they just missed that part out in the description.

The fixes in the patch according to THQ are as follows:

1. We recognize premature match quitting as the biggest online issue and have taken steps to fix it. The Patch will have integrated code that detects who pulls the cable and will assign a Loss as well as a Did Not Finish to that player. The DNF is only counted for the player who executes the disconnection. The DNF rate will be displayed on the fighter selection screen of the Online Ranked Match. When disconnected the Winning Streak is also reset to 0.

2. We’ve adjusted Ranked Matches to match up players with better connections, which will improve lag issues we’ve seen to date.

3. We’ve adjusted the difficulty of performing submissions against AI opponents to improve the balance of subs vs. striking when playing against the AI.

4. We’ve adjusted the Flash KO rate so that they are less frequent.

5. We’ve increased maximum number of points awarded in online play from 99,999 to 999,999 and we’ve increased the Max Level from 100 to 200.

6. We’ve lowered the Winning Streak Bonus Max from 5 to 3.

7. We’ve removed the decimal places on the Leaderboard Winning Percentage so we only show whole percentages.

8. We’ve addressed the CAF cheat so the skill levels in CAF cannot be cheated and increased. Also any CAF with unfair point values will no longer be able to be used Online.

Well done THQ. That addresses pretty much every problem I had with the game and I can't wait to get back online and play.

This took 2 months! The game came out in mid May.

Don't forget to notice that you DON'T get the Win when the other person pulls the plug!!

This patch is still flawed!

That's why I hardly ever buy games on their release dates. You know patches and fixes will always be implemented, so why rush out to be disappointed?

Why is this not STANDARD to all games with ranked online play?

they need to add the dnf status to the wwe games coz they're full of lil cheatey mc quit-bitches and maybe with that lil extra feature people can get a better game in the next edition...tbh i could care less about a ufc game since i dont rate them as a mma organisation these days.

Only buy this if you are a MMA fan, and can put hours of play into it, you cant just pick up and play, you need to run through the tutorials, and smack about someone in training mode. Seriously.

#28, no. Transformers2 was the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen. (and I've seen LOTS of movies-I own over a thousand dvds/blurays/hddvds alone) D9 actually looks like it's worth the price of a ticket.

Everyone who complained about the length of time it took to fix this game, please go bitch to Valve now so that they'll finally fix TF2?

You should be praising THQ for not leaving a game in the shovelware bin for two years.

Unfortunately you're not... You're praising Valve for preparing a sequel to a game that hasn't been out two years. Then we wonder why everything that is announced gets pushed back, then totally, and utterly sucks.

Because the one-trick-ponies find victory more satisfying when it's won through constant head-kicks. You can't block forever.

wait, you don't get the win if others quit? WTF did they fix then? People will still quit just to keep you from getting the W even if they take a loss. THQ gives people too much credit.

Well, it's time to start playing and see if this patch actually fixes anything. Thanks for the attempt at least THQ. We'll see if it works now.

way too long, are you kidding me? what about games that are promised patches and/or DLC that doesn't come out for a year or so. Programming isn't easy, it has to be written and thuroughly tested to assure it is correct. A month or 2 is actually pretty quick considering everything it takes to write complicated code.

Just my opinion but the reason they prolly dont award the win to the person who doesnt DC is because then people would find people with garbage gametags and abuse the wins im sure.
