UFC quitters will be punished
In a patch arriving "soon".
THQ has trumpeted the arrival of a UFC patch that will punish online match-quitters, among other things.
This is "the biggest online issue", according to producer Neven Dravinski, and any future cheaters will be awarded a Loss, a Did Not Finish flag and have winning streak set to zero. Only the disconnecting party suffers, by the way.
The patch arrives "soon" and has other numerous tweaks, including a matchmaker for gamers with stable, fast connections. Coo. It's like Christmas.
Also, max points awarded online will be increased tenfold, the level cap boosted to 200, winning streak bonus lowered to three, a CAF cheat addressed and a PS3 auto-save bug solved.
There are some other minor tweaks besides. Look out for a full list when the patch arrives.

the same way it will affect a cheater i'd assume. but in all fairness, in 3 years of xbox live online play i've never seen a "legitimate" disconnect

My girlfriend has turned off the wireless router by accident when i was playing online before she goes to bed. Not in this game though. I hate quitters.
I remember this problem in SF2THF when it was first out on Xbla.

I had a powercut on the 1st night of playing SSFIITHDR. I was gutted.
Anyway - it's pretty surprising that 'quit cheating' still isn't being catered for BEFORE these games are released. It's 2009 for god's sake. Anyone would think that online gaming had only just been invented...

They should take it for granted that they need to put these measures in place. Come on guys, it's not 2001 any more.

The amount of ppl who quite on games when they realise they can't win is unreal.

For those wondering about the UK broadcast of UFC 100 - well if you're a SKY customer you're in luck as it's on channel 433 from 9pm til 6am (including the countdown show). However if you're a Virgin customer like me you're screwed and you'll have to watch it on a stream at UFC.com... assuming of course you have a decent internet connection and that the site doesn't get so busy it crashes and burns. Personally I hope it's not ONLY live that you can watch it online as I don't want to watch it live (I have enough problems with my sleeping pattern as it is).
The biggest UFC event ever and they accept an offer from SKY over any other broadcaster available to everyone in the UK. Brilliant.

The article said the penalty would be more wide ranging than just the individual bout. Wiping winning streaks was one such extra penalty.

They would need to change the gold medal for a one punch knock out... though thinking about it that would be better. I don't see why anyone should be rewarded for getting a lucky ko!
