UFC Undisputed 2009 was widely regarded as a very successful sports game, not just a niche game, and probably had a lot to do with EA jumping into the arena and making their own MMA game. EA's MMA will be released in 2010 but they will have competition from THQ's new UFC game, Undisputed 2010. Spike's upcoming Video Game Awards is an appropriate platform for the brand to debut footage of the new iteration of the game which is expected to include updated rosters, graphics, maneuvers, play modes, and fixes. There is a teaser trailer (no game footage) on Spike.com at the moment if you're interested. What would you guys like to see in the new game?

Smoother graphics, 09 had some weird glitches that bugged me. Frame rate too, a lot of times when you got in a starting throwing punches with certain fighters the game started to lag. A more sophisticated striking system would be good too, 09 was too much of a button masher. I might be expecting too much of an upgrade though.
Yeah, less is more will probably apply. I wouldn't expect major changes to the striking system like Fight Night did (which a lot of people are unhappy with). My guess is it will be virtually the same game with a facelift and a roster update.
Please put in southpaw strikers and unique striking styles. Cro Cop striking like Liddell is weird. Oh, and please, find a way to give it replay value...and make improving your ground game a lot less difficult.
The last game was so good, can't wait to see how the improve the new one. I'm surprised another one is coming out already - I didn't expect this to be an every year thing like other sports games (not complaining about it though, that's for sure!).
