Lower-than-expected sales of 'UFC Undisputed 2010' prompts THQ to adjust earnings outlook for 2011
Sophomore slump?
Perhaps there is some dispute after all to the earnings potential of "UFC Undisputed 2010," the second installment in THQ's video game series based on Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world's largest mixed martial arts promotion.
The combat-inspired video game, a sequel to their wildly successful "UFC Undisputed" release in 2009, hit store shelves on May 25 to much hype and industry fanfare. And while sales have been strong, they haven't been able to meet the lofty expectations that THQ set heading into the fiscal year.
From THQ President and CEO Brian Farrell (via The Wall Street Journal):
"UFC Undisputed 2010 is a high quality game, with a Metacritic score of 85, based on the tremendous UFC brand. Preorders were up 50% over last year and we saw strong retail and consumer demand for the title coming into launch, resulting in shipments of 2.6 million units to date. Unfortunately, total sell through to date has been below our expectations and prior-year results. We will continue to drive demand through a strong marketing campaign and by working with our partners at the UFC, including the upcoming July 4th UFC 116 event featuring our cover athlete, Brock Lesnar."
Despite positive reviews, it's possible that some fans who already purchased the 2009 version were holding off on a 2010 upgrade until some of the user feedback started popping up Online.
Or maybe some video game enthusiasts are saving their fifty-bucks for the Strikeforce-based EA Sports "MMA Live" due out later this year.
Any Maniacs out there who did (or didn't) purchase the game have some insight into the sales performance?
Let's hear your take!

I think the game is pretty good and much better than the first...
But I am happy it’s not selling well. Maybe that will prompt them to make real improvements for the next game and build the fighters from the ground up like EA is doing with their game. It’s still just styles with slightly different moves.
I hope EA destroys them in sales!
Bullets dodge Fedor.
I'll be buying the EA game too.
I don’t really care how many units either of these games sells, as long as they sell enough to keep making them for me.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
I'll rent EA's first
Only have time for one, so if EA’s is better I’ll buy it but I highly doubt it will be. This game at first I thought was to much of a wrestling mainly game but as me and my buds figured out the controls and what we were doing we have had some great battles and a mix of fights. It’s still tough to stop guys like Brock and GSP from getting you down unless your guy has good grappling and takedown D but thats realistic.

Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won... but still avoids the UFC!
Anderson Silva haters will be back on his nuts after he gets another amazing KO just like when he embarrassed Forrest in a way that nobody else has or could ever do. Very Matrix like. GSP on the other hand can't even finish people in his own weight division. The only time Andy goes the distance is against a decent fighter who he either isn't motivated to fight or train for and just toys around with them. Get a top fighter in there and watch him get destroyed within 2 rounds in a way that person's never been handled before. He's board at MW, get him to LHW so he can take that belt too and let's watch GSP be brave enough to take a fight at MW period. Facts are pretty amazing!
if you had any friends you wouldnt be sitting at home playing video games, you'd be out with your friends..not screaming into an x box mic with 13 year olds

There is lots that needs to be improved
Nog, Mir, Dos Santos, Struve, and Nelson just to name a few have an unstoppable takedown. Players often spam x punches when standing close and they can’t be blocked, people still take advantage of the ground, and half of the time I win my opponent quits. Along with that the online play lags, its hard to find matches, and they need to put out a patch/update!!
by fightfan51 on Jun 14, 2010 11:56 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
agreed with all except x punches. those can be blocked, you just need to work on timing
but online lag makes it impossible of course

patch is coming..
should only be a few more weeks or so. The thing about this game, from what i see so far, it’s not so much of a “online” kind of game..simply because too many people online want to jew their way to a win. The best way to get proper enjoyment is getting together with friends and playing with real people. The game is the best representation of the sport of MMA that’s out right now…doesn’t look like EA is going to beat it either, bros. Mostly b/c the graphics/animations lick sack, the roster sucks, AND this thing about them building fighters from the ground up……WTF do you think THQ did? Of course some fighters are going to have some of the same moves as others, but the overall look and feel of each fighter is much more unique on this game than anything else ive played before. We’ll see, officially, what EA has in a few months or something.
practice makes perfect on this game, it’s one of the hardest game out there to master, and so was Undisputed 2009, but again, people spoiled that by acting like little whores when playing online. But anyone that spends the proper amount of time on the details knows what i’m talking about.
DO NOT JUDGE A GAME BASED ON WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU ONLINE…PEOPLE ONLINE SUCK!

This is truth right here
Nobody wants to fight and everyone wants to joo their way to a win. Funny thing is, you can tell most of these little retards don’t know two shits about MMA and think they are bad asses becaus e they figured out how to cheat the game online.
I agree that you cannot solely judge it online, and I don’t. I enjoy career mode and am now on my fourth time through. BUT, there are issues aside from those your opponent causes that need to be fixed

This game like fight nigght is much better playing on the sameTV with buddies.
Nog, Mir, Dos Santos, Struve, and Nelson just to name a few have an unstoppable takedown
That is not true, most likely your not keeping your distance as your quick striking is longer than their grapple reach, or your moving in to fast witch allows him to get a quick takedown, or your not using the proper motion when blocking transitions. It took me and my buds about 50 to 60 fights before we were able to figure out how to stop the takedown most of the time. The takedowns still happen but not nearly as much when we first started and when you block takedowns you can make your opponent pay for his mistakes and put him on his ass with a counter uppercut this will also make him less aggressive on his attempts.
on the ground to prevent the fighter to getting to full mount simply flick your stick as long as the guy your going against doesn’t have much greater ground grapple O as you have D you should block his transitions then you quickly try and do a transition yourseldf to get out sometimes you even reverse if timed right. This part of the fight can go back and forth unless like I said your out matched or tired you should be able to defend and get back up.
The stand up you need to gett your distance down with your strikes witch are all farther than the grapple attemt clinch. Your power strikes are the farthest but if your oppoent goes for the takedwon before the strike you’ll be on your ass so only use when you have a rythem and feel confident and your normal strikes you can throw and move jsut don’t get to close. Leg strikes are very effective and will wear down your opponet but high kicks and power kicks leave you open jsut like the power strikes for the takedown.
In the grapple if the fighter gets leverage and attempts to take you down*transition) flick the stick this should block his attempt then quickly perform a transition you should get better position if not repeat. Now again depending on the rankings you should have no problems unless your grappling sucks or your tired.
The one fix I see mainly right now is submissions the best guys can get a submission way to early. Sometimes yeah that may happen but in this game way to often. Hopefully this is one of the fixes in the new Patch. Second Matt Hammil is overrated LOL
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
When they first released 2009 it was almost impossible to get submissions….seems like they have some trouble getting it exactly perfected. But its only version 2 so I will give them some leeway
In this version at least they can change it with patches as well as change the fighters attributes depending how they perform
This game is a much tougher one to figure out at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s a blast. I don’t think online will ever be great on these systems because of lag issues witch is the same with fight night witch is really what stops any fighting game from being awsome.

online? more like offline
The online version of the game on the PS3 consol is completely broken. (You cannot find one person that says it works for them) You are unable to find a game via search. And when you host a game the lag is unplayable. I give it one more week to be fixed and im trading it in and will never invest on this fanchise again.
so its not just me having that problem on ps3
and when i do get a game there is huge lag. terrible
Bisping's opponents RIP
lag is awful on xbox also.
but at least the game finding works there. Did they even test the online multiplayer once before they released it? Unbelievable.

grrr
i dont see how i can roam a free world of Red Dead, or be in a huge war on COD, but to have 2 character fighting the THQ servers are unable to handle it. I would think it should work the best.
My thoughts exactly
In Madden you have two full teams of eleven going at it, in COD you can have massive wars taking place, Red Dead is a huge world, and in this game two fighters can’t be configured to flow properly on the server? Not only that, but THQ takes forever to release a patch and updates, whie all of these other games have released an update or a patch in shorter time it seems like.
Relase a patch that fixes: lagging, spamming of punches/ ground and pound, unstoppable takedowns by Nog, Struve, JDS, etc, omaplata submissio, and again the Lagging!

“testis” is singular…“testes” is plural….saying you lack “testis” simply means you are missing a ball…..you’re just deformed…
fightfan you were born deformed…as were all others who continue to play video games after they get their driver’s license…
once you are old enough to get your license and can go anywhere you want and choose to sit at home and play video games you are certainly lacking in the testical region……

I had this game for two weeks
And traded it in at gamestop for Red Dead Redemption, and I am thoroughly happy with my choice. The submission system in 2010 is horrible, the career mode is WWE-esque, and the game did not hold my attention at all. How is it that in 2003 Konami made a K-1 game that still has better gameplay than either games the UFC put out? THQ is a crappy company that makes crappy games, and I for one can’t wait for EA MMA.
It's using the Fight Night 4 engine...

Lets not worship EA
We all remember the suckitude that was Madden 2008; and NBA Live can not hold a candle to NBA 2K10. Bad Company was good, but the characters move like puppets. I think the pressures of shelling out yearly games forces companies to take a step back on quality and thats what really sucks.
i wasn't impressed with the first
i thought about buying this version. but i was put off by the fact there was a code for online play. so if you bought it & hated it you couldn’t get your money back on the gamestation 10 day money back policy. so i played the free demo & left it at that they hyped up the online play like it was something amazing & i had a feeling it would be shit like the first game. in this day an age if you can’t put a good online service on a game it better be an awesome game
I agree...
The whole code to play online thing is bullshit. What if someone just wants to rent the game? I didnt let that deter me, though. I ended up winning the game in an online contest, but I still would’ve bought it on opening day regardless. You pay 50 bucks to play XBox Live for a year and then need another 10 just to play UFC unless you bought it new.. that’s homo as hell. I heard EA Sports will be implementing something similar.

the whole code to play online thing is the way a lot of the game companies are going now. This way they can still make money off reselling of games because the code is already used so you have to buy a new online code to play.

most games have beta trails to test the server
they let a few hundred thousand people download a demo with a few levels to play online to see if the server can handle the game. they did it with MAG & Modnation racer i played both beta versions looks to me like they didn’t bother with any kind of trails & just tried to wing it & failed horribly
i heard its not doing as well...
..because it has Brock on the cover, and people are embarrassed to have it. Rightfully so, poor, kind folk. Rightfully so.

But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies. - Kenny Powers
what makes me lol is...
when this game first came out there was a clip of Dana White saying this was the best game ever made. & i commented that he was talking shit & loads of people on here agreed with him. is it just me or do some people on this forum just go with the majority as not to appear stupid cause people are now agreeing that the game is shit
How is the game shit?
The game is incredible. In every game there will be cheesy tactics for nerdy faggots to exploit. If having some super high online rank with a sick record is someone’s only concern, then maybe I could see why that would be an issue. For the most part I just play with my friends and play random player matches and have a good time online. There are some kinks that need to be worked out, but UFC 2010 is a top notch sports game, especially for only being the second installment.

I think it is a great game
but why the F would I take Dana Whites opinion on the best game of all time. He doesn’t know shite about video games. Anyone see him trying to play this thing? The programmer was explaining it all, then telling him to hit forward on the right joystick, Dana just kept saying ok, ok, while hitting nothing. He does not know anything about that business. I would bet that this is one of the first games he has played outside of an arcade. Anything he has invested in, is in fact, the best ever. This is Dana we are talking about.
The instant takedowns are being patched out. Lag, for me, has been significantly improved. I no longer run into the issue where the camera circles the cage at the beginning of the fight and then I’m disconnected from the host. This game blows away 2009.. it’s better in just about every aspect. The only fucked up part is that career needs to be patched still. When you switch weight classes, shit goes wrong.
THQ needs to give away their exclusive rights of the UFC and give it to someone who takes pride in their work.
Hey fuck faces (THQ) maybe sells are down cause YOU released a product that is broken.
So many things wrong with this game word of mouth fucked your sales assholes (THQ) put out better games or at least fix this one.

well i've played loads of games that are good & work just fine
you seem to be defending a shit game to the bitter end but whatever floats your boat
Im hardly defending it to the bitter end...
But most of the gripes I see are the same thing I see in other games. All I see on here is vague, blanket statements. “I’ve played loads of other games that work fine…” examples? I’m sure I could go to a forum for whatever game it is and fine a bunch of 14 year olds bitching about how broken it is. Throw one at me and I’ll see what I can find.
And I’m not defending THQ either. If they’re not the company to make the game, then who is? EA sure as fuck isn’t reliable with sports games. NBA Live has sucked for ages, Madden (despite my love for it) has always had a ton of faults, most of the Need For Speed games have been lacking lately, I have friends who play Fight Night that say that sucks as well.
I really just dont see what the major problem is. It’s a significant upgrade from the game last year. Every game I’ve played online has had kids exploit cheesy tactics or quit out when theyre losing or lag switch or whatever else. People just seem overly harsh about the game.

Agree with most of your post...
But I have never seen a completely broken online multiplayer and in this game it is. I have played about 10 games online and the lag is just intolerable even against opponents who have full green bars. The online play is completely useless.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
I agree with that...
That’s an early (and big) fuck-up on THQ’s part. From my understanding they get cheap in this aspect and try to predict how many servers they will need. If that number is exceeded, then everything becomes a mess. Plus the whole thing about downloading data from UFCUndisputed.com all the damn time slows it down.. it’s unnecessary.
Lately, I’ve had a lot more success with multiplayer. I dont get the circling of the cage and then the “The connection has been lost” message anymore. It could still be improved significantly, but it’s a step in the right direction so far.

I didn’t buy 2010 because not only are these games too expensive $50-60, but I couldn’t justify paying that much again for a similar game from 2009. I would probably wait to see if there are drastic changes to this game or a whole new line up of different new fighters. I’m happy with 2009 version and play it from time to time.

online sucks
I think the game is good, hard as hell but good and certainly better. However online is a no go for me, cant get a single game happening same old message of cannot connect or no game found. Is it the same for everyone or just some people?
I think the patch is coming mainly for that purpose
But honestly fight games all lag a little online witch makes them a lesser game. Fight Night a great boxing game made by EA has the same problems. To much information going online to process. I think it’s something like 6 to seven times as much info to process than a game like madden.

Not surprising when....
A) You make no attempt to improve the striking system
B) Submissions are next to impossible to get
C) You charge people to access online
UFC should find another developer.
Submissions are easy to get...
I have a friend that can submit me full stamina within 30 seconds. This is the problem.. people bitch about shit without actually knowing what they’re talking about. Certain submissions are more of a guarantee than others. The arm trap RNC or the triangle are very solid subs. You take a guy like Maia and put Drew McFedries in a triangle when both guys have full stamina in round 1, and it’s a wrap. The sub switching is a nice feature, and there are two ways to go about doing the subs.. spin or charge. The system is pretty nice.. it just takes time to get used to and takes some work to figure everything out.
I’ll put it this way.. what, exactly, is your problem with submissions? The game is being patched to make subbing the CPU easier on higher difficulties, but users are very easy to sub.
And no attempt to improve the striking? The sway system is awesome. It’s not overly complicated and is very user friendly. The clinch is perfect this year. It’s not nearly as easy to whore it up if you’re some mediocre player picking Anderson Silva, but if you’re good with it, it can be nasty. The ground striking is much improved.. postured positions land way more damage than last year. There could be a larger variety of strikes specific to each fighter, but it’s definitely way better than 2009.

What does this game offer me that a million other fighting games don;t already have?
I really don’t see a reason to buy this game.
It's the best MMA game in my opinion
The first one was easy to master and left a lot on the table, I think they did a great job at fine tuning a solid game. There is still a few issues #1 being online witch is a reason many play games now but the systems don’t handle games liek Fight Night and this one well as they seem to lag msot of the time. For single player it’s much improved I haven’t got to far in it I don’t have the time use to playing games but if you have friends that are into gaming to this is one of the best two player games on the same screen.
The game takes some time to figure out as the instructions don’t tell you nearly enough you have to look for tips online and/or figure it out yourself. I have a couple friends that get together every sunday & monday night to watch football or play games wether it’s poker, axis, golf or vids, and we have been playing this the last couple weekends and are having a blast.
Online I give this a 6 out of ten
Single player 7.5 out of ten
Same screen multiplayer 9.5 out of ten
If the online was much smoother this would be a must buy game but because it’s online is sloppy it depends on how you play game mainly.
Online – Don’t buy
Single player – rent
With the buds – buy
The game will take many fights before you understand the controls and msot likely the first fights you will be on the ground the majority of the fight witch cause many to complaints but as you progress you will like the game more and more.

Maybe MMA game...although i think there are only about 3 or 4
But as far as a straight fighting game…this has nothing to offer. I prefer strong game play over the skin that the avatars are wrapped in.
Like Batman games. They all suck. I kept buying them for a years (back in the 80’s) and they all suck, even though they were Batman games, they all just blew. Same thing with Star Wars games, most comic games, and all movie games.
I want better game play to make me spend my dollars, not just a theme that doesn’t really make a difference to the play of the game.
Oh well, back to Street Fighter….
witch
Wouldn’t be nearly as bad if it didn’t appear to be his word of the week. I believe it used to be ‘people’ he struggled with before. As you now see Freenow this is what I meant when I said I couldn’t be on the same side as him. He single handedly slaughters the Pain train from the inside. Lol.

hahahha fag
Ya, got to be a “wansta” to be able to have good grammar, unlike you, who can’t string two words together without making a mistake witch to most peopel makes you look like the wangsta, since you’re clearly, embarrassingly under educated.
I also, am clearly very clean cut. Yeah, a tight fitted clothing is very “wangsta” nowadays right? Don’t hate cause we live in the same city, and I get laid, and no one knows who you are. This is great, cause if you ever wanna find me, its a city with a population of 250k, and everyone knows who I am. Ask around pal, locate me, and show me which of the girls I even looked at that your pitiful, petty, obese fuck rag, of a self have even dreamed to touch.
You’re literally the blackeye of this site. A feat that couldn’t be accomplished on purpose, as it takes genuine stupidity to pull off what you make look so easy each day.
Choke on that cock chest, you b*tch tittied, cum guzzlin, pisser smasher.
Ttysoon faggot.

WOW your special, don’t you have a package to deliver courier boy? Anybody can act tough but only fruit cakes change there profile pictures every other day because thats exactly what they are. The way you talk is very Wangster…

Anybody can talk tough but someone that try’s and act tough on a keyboard proves once again your a grade A douche. Maybe we will see eachother one of these days worbs as far as the ladies looking at me, thats to late sorry dude.

The actual gameplay is good, it takes a few games to get use too but once you understand what your doing it’s a great game. Personally I think it’s the best fighting game period. Fight Night was in my collection until this came out but both games I play 90% against my buds on the same TV. I’m not really into playing many games besides Madden and COD though so maybe I’m just missing outt?

Have you played Arkham Asylum SD?
That’s the one good Batman game, it even won the BAFTA GOTY award over here.
I <3 Dana White, the Ruler and Savior of the MMA World, and will serve his disciple, Synyster, faithfully to the end.
I played through about half that sofar on PC and quit to play the latest Splinter Cell
I will get back to it though, its a great game
Bullets dodge Fedor.
I think Arkham looks great...
I think Arkham looks great and actually has a decent story but the game play is retarded. It’s a total button masher. The fighting is based on how fast you can repeatedly smash a group of buttons instead of selecting a specific button to do a specific punch.
I am so let down by that game…I had such high hopes.
Ugh…depressed.
Not true, a lot of combos to choose from and if you put some thought into it its not a button masher at all
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Hows that Red Dead Redemption. I like Westerns and it looks pretty cool.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
I know...
There are combos in Arkham but you really dont need them As long as you keep punching repeatedly, you can get past the guy in front of you. Also, the tutorial even says to “keep pressing buttons” in a fight. that coupled with the faked interactivity (opening a door, I don’t really need to crank open a door to feel like I am participating).
Overall, I consider it a bust.
Red Dead looks great, I love Westerns. I’m not so much on open world games, though. So much time for a single game….still I have to try this one.
Its just not that good
The online sucks and the career mode is a beating.
Its too hard to prevent submissions and too hard to execute them

Its hard for him
The submission system is awesome if you know what your are doing, if your just throwing rocks at a wall in the dark though, then it might not work for you.

How so?
Anyone having a major gripe with the sub system, hit me up on XBox Live at ballhawkdawk. Im no master, but chances are there is a flaw in what youre doing either with your stamina or the subs you try or the fighter you pick or something else. It took me a while to get it down, and Im still not that great at it.

Its sold 2.6 million units in what like 2 months
How much did the first one sell? How is 2.6 million units dissapointing?
2.6 Million units were sent out
Doesn’t mean they were sold at the retail store. My store alone is sitting on 100 copies between the 360 and ps3
if they dont sell then retailers dont order more copies
