EA MMA kept the stick movement, but changed it around a bit to require you to pay attention to the controller rumble to know which direction to press.
The first Undisputed’s “spin the right stick to win” and/or button mash setup was easy to exploit for turbo pad-owners, so they nixed the button mashing and made subs harder to get, but just rotating the stick made them seem too easy to execute, even if the AI was better at defending them. The earlier UFC/PRIDE entries just allowed you to win via hitting a couple of buttons and winning instantly with a sub unless you countered with the same button combo, which made you fight carefully, but sucked if you didn’t know which button presses initiated a particular submission. MMA games have never had a universally-loved submission system. EA MMA tried a similar approach to things and it worked out great, although that game didn’t quite give you as many positions to switch to easily as this one, which now makes even a rear clinch a breeze to execute as opposed to basically being luck in the prior two installments. This makes a monumental difference in the actual gameplay because it keeps the pace of ground fights quite fast while preventing you from being stuck in a position due to a rushed quarter or half-circle motion that doesn’t go right and leaves you open to take damage. The latter option allows a lower-end fighter to enter a fair fight with a main eventer, and is perfect for 2 players since no one can complain about the other person picking a vastly-superior fighter.Īside from the new simulation mode, another huge change to the gameplay is in the form of optional “amateur” controls that map minor transitions to a downward tap on the left stick and major ones with an upward tap, instead of requiring quarter circle and half-circle motions respectively. You can also choose to keep things the way they are by default in the series, or give each fighter equalized stats. It replicates fatigue more accurately, and really does require you to plan out your strategies more because you’ll become gassed far more quickly.

Some fans felt the Undisputed series was a little too arcade-like and didn’t reward skillful play enough, so the addition of a pure simulation mode is a welcome one. There’s also a new camera angle that brings you closer to the fighters and makes it a bit easier to tell how far you are from your opponent and also drives home the impact of blows, along with screen-shaking camera effects. The addition of swaying to avoid attacks added a lot in the second Undisputed, but looked a bit too robotic - something that I only noticed after seeing EA MMA pull it off in a more realistic manner, which is now more realistic in Undisputed 3. The series has more to prove now and succeeds by improving some gameplay elements in major ways and delivering things, like a PRIDE mode, that many fans including myself have wanted since the series’ debut. After the second Undisputed game, EA’s entry on the genre came out and raised the bar when it came to created fighter sharing, delivering a fun career mode, and a unique, but effective submission system that blended ease of use with skill to prevent cheap victories. After a near-two year absence, the Undisputed series is back with the best overall MMA game yet.
