UFC 3 is a fine single player game but it's multiplayer is tarnished with 3 big problems.
1. Server Instability - About 1/2 fights will be a disconnect and I know it's not me or my opponent doing it (being in party chat with them). Some fights have been laggy with up to a 1 second delay between button presses. There have also been times when I can't even connect to their content sharing system or leaderboards. The good news is that THQ says they are working on these issues and have been updating the community on an almost daily basis of what they are trying to do.

2. Even if the servers get fixed there are some overpowered moves that can be given to CAFs(Create-A-Fighters) and roster fighters possess. More details as to these moves and cheapness can be found here
Banned Moves in Leagues
3. Fix the glitch CAFs. It's been 3 games and yet there are still Glitched Super CAFs in this game. Here are a video and a post that show a super CAF at 256 and a how to make a glitch CAF at 106

There are some other problems but honestly these 3 problems are what is killing the online for this game unless you are in league.

To Calm the wait for UFC Undisputed 3
If you're like me, then odds are the wait for UFC Undisputed 3 is driving you nuts. Here's some reviews to keep you busy from IGN and Gametrailers.
IGN
Gametrailers
Keep in mind those reviews are mainly based on the single-player aspect of the game with out much focus on the Multi-player or exactly how the gameplay has changed, ai, matchmaking, ect. So I still don't know more then I did days ago, but at least I'm assured a solid single-player experience. There may also be a "release day patch" as well to update stats and bugfixes but that's just a rumor right now.
Here are forum topics to keep a look out for on the offical game forums that concern me about UFC3.
No simulation stamina in Ranked matches
No Punishment for Disconnecting
If you still want more UFC 3 footage, there's some users on youtube who have obtained the game early and have been kind enough to take the time and upload videos of the gameplay.

If by chance you're still bored after over 120 minutes of gameplay footage then um.... there's this show on the "History Channel" called "Full Metal Jousting".... I shit you not, the first episode is coming on tonight and the nerd in me is ready for a "Ultimate Fighter" rip off show with Jousting Knights.

No, I'm not Dead
Rather then come up with a big post explaining why I haven't updated in months or what's going on let's just say I didn't see any need or point in doing a MMA video show for the web once "Inside MMA" went live on Mondays and UFC got it's own post fight show. I kept watching MMA even though I lost interest in EA MMA (who can blame me with Battlefield 3, SWTOR, GOW3, and Skyrim).Now there's a new game on the horizon and I figure my best strength is Videogames, so I might as well do a review of UFC3 like I always wanted to.
First off it looks like THQ did get "the screaming lady" for pride in UFC3 so I don't have to boycott it like I originally planned. I've also been playing the demo on Ultimate AI/sim energy settings and I'm liking it. I have little to no doubt that the single player will be nice but the big question still remains as to how good the multiplayer will be (if it's laggy, ranking sucks, ect...). I have to wait till I get my hands on the full game to judge. I'm planing on splitting my review into 2 parts, 1 for singleplayer and the other for multiplayer but those won't be out for at least 2 weeks after the game comes out (giving me enough to time to play it rather then a half ass review).
The league I'm in is incorporating UFC3 into itself and we'll still working out how it's going to be done but check out OMMA's site for more details. I'll be signing up for more events as well (on both EA MMA and UFC3) so if you hate me and wanted to kick my ass in the game, now's the chance.
I'll try to write some articles here and there (MMA/action movie/videogame related stuff) while also doing videos of whatever comes to mind really. I'll try to look for stuff that combines all 3 of my interest like this silly commercial for Tera and if you want more straight forward MMA news then I recommend MiddleEasy since that's the site I frequent.
Side Note: looks like MiddleEasy does check their mailbox cause they ran a story on the Tera commercial and gave me cred, thanks Zeus.
