Hey guys Neven here with an update on the Patch release.

The Patch for UFC 2009 Undisputed has been released on the Xbox 360 World Wide and the PS3 for Europe. The Patch is currently in submission with Sony America and we expect to release it very soon. As the Xbox and Sony Europe updates were available sooner than expected we made the decision to get the Patch out to the public rather than sit on them. Stay on the lookout for updates regarding the Patch release for Sony America.

Just a reminder of what is included in the update:

  1. Online matches will better support issues with users who leave a match. The game will now detect users who disconnect and will assign a “Loss,” as well as a “Did Not Finish (DNF),” to that player. The DNF is only assigned to 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 zero.
  2. Ranked Matches have been adjusted to match players with better connections.
  3. The difficulty of performing submissions against computer opponents has been adjusted to improve the balance of submissions vs. striking.
  4. The Flash Knockouts rate has been adjusted so they are less frequent.
  5. The maximum number of points awarded in online play has been increased from 99,999 to 999,999. The “Max Level” has also been increased from 100 to 200.
  6. The “Winning Streak” bonus maximum has been moved from 5 to 3.
  7. Decimal places on the “Leader Board Winning Percentage” have been changed so that only whole percentages are shown.
  8. Create-a-Fighter (CAF) issues have been addressed so that 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.
  9. For PLAYSTATION 3 system users, game freezes during auto-saves have been eliminated. The controller used to “Press Start” on the title screen will be identified as the main controller.

I want to thank the community for all the great feedback and look forward to playing with you guys online!

Sincerely,
Neven Dravinski, UFC Producer

Great work Neven

but why do i have 152 dnf's (from before the patch) when I have quit 5 matches ? Is that going to be fixed?

Thanks for the patch! Do all quitters get a loss or just the ones that quit at the very end, after tapping or getting KO'd? It would seem unfair if they were able to pull the plug after they got rocked or the sub locked on them.

Thanks for the patch, though I do wonder why I'm at a 9%, and I don't ever disconnect. Is there an adjustment phase for that?

**** it, Wrestling is the ultimate art. Right stick in place FTW 4 Life.
Just quit when they get to mount so you can practice further.

He only stated what the patch changed..not how the game worked before. My guess is that both parties used to get the DNF after someone quit, and your old DNF's are showing now as are everyone else's. The difference is that now if someone quits on you, you won't get the DNF while they will. Smiling

Almost like being punished for being good. Most people quit on me if I beat them too quickly.

It will work itself out over time, the DNF % of people that don't quit will go down as their total games go up, and people that continue to quit will get more losses and their DNF % will rise.
