UFC Undisputed 2010 Captured Gameplay Videos

A less apparent change to the ground grappling is the addition of passive transition defense. In last year's game, fighters on the ground defended against transition attempts (i.e. efforts by the opponent to improve ground position) by holding back on the right analog stick. In Undisputed 2010, fighters have a passive defense system that requires no input from the player. To sample it, I took down an un-manned second player and attempted to pass guard. Automatically, the bottom fighter resisted the guard pass, relative to the fighter's ground skill versus mine, though successive guard pass attempts eventually wore down the opponent's defense. This automated defense should allow players to focus more on improving position and mounting an offense, rather than wasting effort on transition defense and stalling action.
