UFC Undisputed 3 Beta Testing Glitches
I received a beta version of UFC Undisputed 3 but neglected to tell anyone. Predictably, there were tons of errors. On the positive side the game modes are deeper than ever, including "Press Mode" where you're an undercover MMA reporter trying to avoid Dana White's dreaded credential revoking. But let me break down the glitches for you.
- Accepting a Fight. There's now a second component to career mode where you can assume the role of a current UFC fighter and effectively start from scratch as if you were a regular CAF. I played as Jon Jones, won the title easily, and defended my title against Rampage Jackson via 2nd round submission. I got a message from Joe Silva in my inbox about defending my belt against Rashad Evans. I went to the menu and I pressed "accept" and the game promptly froze. This occurred 4-5 different times.
- Game Freeze. Game locked up any time my opponent was Sean Sherk or Anthony Johnson.
- Disqualifications. Undisputed 3 really stresses accuracy and carefulness, as point deductions and DQs have now been added both ways. In a quick fight between Matt Mitrione and Cheick Kongo I defeated Kongo via DQ due to 3 groin strikes on kick attempts and 2 knees to the balls in the clinch. It really captures the pain and agony. There's a cut scene where the referee takes the offender away and warns him or deducts a point as your fighter writhes on the ground or tries to shake it off. I'm pretty sure I broke the system when I played as Jon Jones. I put in my "finish the fight" combo on the ground and I landed six throat strikes, 7 12-to-6s, 5 eye-pokes, and a few fish hooks.
- Leonard Garcia Glitch. I stopped Leonard Garcia multiple times -- all by KO, so yep, nothing about fight outcomes has changed -- but instead it took me straight to the judges' scorecards, where I lost 30-27, 28-29, and 29-28.
- Create a Card Mode. Set up UFC Fight Night: Guillard vs. Pettis and my loading time took for-freaking-ever. While I waited the game was filled with ads for terrible Kevin James movies and even worse Jim Carrey flicks. Then Goldberg and Rogan took me through their virtual previews of the card I set up (Guillard vs. Pettis, Dunham vs. Wiman, Pearson vs. Stout, and Benavidez vs. Bowles), it went straight to commercial and never came back out.
- Bruce Buffer. Amazingly, Buffer pronounced "Leicester" properly. Got to fix that.
- Jon Olav Einemo ended up 75-0 CPU vs. CPU fights against 15 different heavyweights, all by identical first round KOs at the 1:14 mark.
- PRIDE mode. Managed to KO Rampage with Wanderlei's knees of doom, and as Rampage slumped over the ring he fell off it and landed on a female reporter and stayed there for 40 minutes even after regaining consciousness. The game ends with 9 members banned from Bloody Elbow for life and shuts off by itself.
Let's remind ourselves that this is just a beta version and I guarantee these glitches will disappear in time for the January 2012 release date.

Sounds like they worked on getting the fighter’s style right.
haha.

I actually thought it was serious for about the first two points. Then I was like...

I was like "is this real life?"

You're a jerk face
I’m hoping they actually let you throw illegal strikes. A well-timed head butt used to make all the difference in Fight Night.

I used to LOVE throwing the bows,
as long as you don’t throw more than 3 a fight you can get away with it.

Bravo.
Somewhere Black Lesnar is crying and at the same time, I am masturbating.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
He's been crying for 18 hours straight

The arm isn’t the major worry here.

One of the funniest bits of satire I've ever read on here.
GSP - A machine designed specifically to stop Jon Fitch from ever becoming champion.
Amazing.
I believed this was legit until the Leonard Garcia bullet. I’m not only disappointed in myself, but elated at the satire. Awesome job.
The freezing when Jones accepted the Rashad fight isn’t actually a glitch. Jones had it built into the system so that when he is ever asked “Why didn’t you take the Rashad fight?” He can now say “It’s not my fault, I wanted to, but the game froze and my coaches decided I just shouldn’t do it, and I pulled out.”
I kid, I kid

Either the Sherk/Johnson thing was a brilliant line to mask the oncoming humor, or it’s referencing something that went over my head.

As for the JOE joke...
It reminds me of a “glitch” in UFC: Throwdown for PS2. Basically, if you have Caol Uno vs. anyone (Belfort, Barnett, Penn, Pulver, etc.) in a CPU vs. CPU match, Caol Uno always won. It’s pretty funny to see Uno KO Barnett.
I love glitches like that because it means someone sat and watched Uno vs. CPU matches over and over again just to prove it.

That was a great game
cept Tito Ortiz was by far the best striker
Clay Guida ensured he is now and forever the worlds most exciting and active boring fighter.

Fooled me for a second
Then I got to Garcia and I’m like wtf?! No game is this lifelike.
Also, I can’t remember Jones finishing with illegal moves.
Let the fighters fight, let the referees ref, but dear God, don't let the judges judge.
Great post. I loved it. I was skeptical when I read the Jones and Evans one but once I got to the Kongo part, I knew what this was about. The Garcia one was easily the best. That had me on my side!!!
Why? Well because some things are and some things are not. Why? Well because things that are not can't be. Why? Because than nothing wouldn't be. You can't have nothing isn't. Everything is!
