"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. |

Surprised this wasn't in from the start. Its the most common issue in any game of this type.

I think they should be punished by having to grapple with a sweaty man in real life.

It sounds like if it only affects the quitter, and you don't get a win for a disconnect, people could still quit after you win just to spite you. They've lost either way, so I'm sure some people aren't adverse to fucking you over.

Add a 'name and shame' leaderboard for the most frequent quitters!

They should do this for more games.
The amount of ppl who quite on games when they realise they can't win is unreal. |

Hopefully this will be out by the end of next week.
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. |

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

I really hate flash KO's for online play. I have dominated so many people only for a lucky punch to ktfo me.
I hope they remove it entirely for the next game. It's true to the sport, but takes a large element of skill out of the game. |

Why do these things always appear as fixes after the fact? It seems to me that this sort of thing should be an obvious feature to include in a game from the very beginning, yet time and time again the quitters don't get punished.

Why wasnt this included to start with? All online games should punish quitters in some way, but the number of games that only think to add this as a patch after release is daft. I know anyone can lose connection at times for genuine reasons, but I wouldnt mind being branded a quitter on the odd occasion that I have broadband probs if I knew it helped get rid of the twats who restart thier router whenever they are certain of losing.
