EA added sliders for FNR4 also

IS UFC10 patchable? Most say YEs...I say probably NOt, at least in the areas we are looking at.

The insane high rate of KOs, IMHO was 100% a design desision to attract more casual/arcade fans....I highly doubt they will fix that as it will screw up the overall game design. Could i be wrong? Sure...But i doubt it.

UFC10 is/was a huge letdown, but not a flop as THQ already has our cash.

How they screwed this game up is beyond me. UFC10 is a great example of how a games success and focus on ONLINE can actually hurt a game.

Not true bro. This games camp feature was designed for online goodness, but the gameplay was not.

Going into EVERY fight online knowing you HAVE to KO the opponent, is .................. how do you say.......
ahh.... yesss..... TERRIBLE!

Add to that the broken stamina allowing special punch spamfests, also getting taken down means nothing cuz in 5 seconds the ref will stand you up just to make sure you get K'd the **** out.

I have to agree....UFC10 was on my radar as soon as i bought 09 honestly...HUGE letdown to say the least.

As far as my comments on ONLINE...I spend little time there, so my opinion is limited.....But in my brief time with UFC10 online.....i really have nothing at all good to say really.

While I dont think this game is close to perfect, I think its close to being a great game. The Flash KOs are riddiculous. I enjoy most sports games games even though they have flaws. However, the game feels so one dimensional, its just sad. Like other peple have mentioned, I dont even wanna play because I know its most likely gonna end in a KO. I get really excited if I'm able to TKO someone, or make it all the way to a decsion by grinding it out (cant land a submission for the life of me against the AI) When a KO happens i go "Oh,nice punch" It shouldnt be that way

I really hope that the patch fixes the most glaring issues: KOs, Submissions, Online Lag.

They need to have a Arcade style and a realistic or sim style.

I wonder if they can patch career mode to make fighters retire when they get around a certain age.

It appears Yukes just had no clear direction on where they wanted to go with this game. They wanted to add too everything in the game(which I think is ambitious) but never finished anything they attempted and then never tested the game. If they would have hired 5 testers to play the game, all of the game's completely GLARING issues could have been fixed or addressed some way. The career mode looks great when you first get the game but just an hour into it the problems are popping up everywhere. Champs that never fight. Fighters never age. The same fighters fighting each other over and over. The annoying stat decay. The whole mode is just monotonous and completely unrealistic.

The game play issues.....what to say that hasn't been said a thousand times. The one thing that really ticks me off is removing the button mash escape and being forced to use IMHO the most craptastic idea of the "shine" technique. They said they did this to stop the cheesers online....then they put moves in the game (omaplata, unblockable td's ect) that are obviously cheese moves. This game just was not planned out. People talk and the THQ is seeing slow selling because nobody can drop 60 dollars on a game that is going to require a HUGE patch, if they can even fix the issues.
