THQ has announced the release of a patch for UFC 2009: Undisputed, worldwide for Xbox 360 and across Europe for PS3 – the patch is in the approval process for SCEA.
Amongst other changes, the patch will enable the game to better support issues with users who leave an online match – essentially those who attempt to cheat by disconnecting from a match will be penalised.
Included in the patch update are the following items:
– 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.
– Ranked Matches have been adjusted to match players with better connections.
– The difficulty of performing submissions against computer opponents has been adjusted to improve the balance of submissions vs. striking.
– The Flash Knockouts rate has been adjusted so they are less frequent.
– 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.
– The “Winning Streak” bonus maximum has been moved from 5 to 3.
– Decimal places on the “Leader Board Winning Percentage” have been changed so that only whole percentages are shown.
– 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.
– 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.
