Can you punch and move at same time in Fight Night?

[ODogg]

This has always been a pet peeve of mine in boxing games is the whole "move, stop and punch, move, stop and punch" which really not only looks unrealistic but seems to take away heavily from realism. I've noticed all the movies i've seen for Fight Night seem to indicate you can either move or punch but not punch while moving like in real life. Does anyone know of any movies, or from the demo (I don't have it) how well you truly can punch/move together or is it the traditional move to your opponent, stop and punch, then move away as most previous boxing games have done?

Re: Can you punch and move at same time in Fight Night?

you mean like sliding in with a punch? i dont think you can do that in the game. you can keep the left analog pressed to move your feet in one direction and throw a punch at the same time though. but once you throw the punch, movement stops. after you release the punch, movement continues.

No, you cannot move while punching, and don't expecrt this to change anytime soon in an EA game because it requires a complete reworking of the animation system.

Did you know, however, that there are dodges in this game done by double-tapping the sick in the desired direction?

That sucks. This is why these games always are slugfests. Once you stop moving you just punch, so what happens is the two of you move to center of ring, stop moving, start punching and the slugfest occurs. This would be able to be avoided if you could move while punching.

Too many effective defensive moves, stamina factors, and realistic combo speed and combo "linking" will prevent this game from being button masher. You might get a slugfest ever now and then depending on the two parties involved.

i still am shocked at peeps views on "slugfests"....ANY game..no matter that engine...can be a slug fest if both players play that way...that is fact...you really have to think about what you're complaining about here....

This game definately gives you the tools to keep it from being a slugfest...and it definately makes you pay for "mindless" swinging....nobody should be complaining about slugfest in fight night 2004....the only way this game is a slugfest..is if BOTH of you are making it a slugfest...YOU are controlling the fighters...not the computer.

If for example...i wasn't a slugfest type of fighter....and my opponent was....i can take advantage and control my defense and offense the way I WANT to...and prevent it from being a slugfest..and use my opponents mindless swinging to my advantage with the loss of his stamina....

If both fighters are doing the slugfest thing...they will get tired TOGETHER...and will just be "slugging" at a slow tired pace....but they are still BOTH reaping the consequences...so it still comes out to be a slug fest...but they ARE getting tired...but its the human players that are still trying to "slug it out"...the game itself though gives you what's needed to fight strategically and use stamina to your advantage....cmon now people...think about what you're saying, lol..quit cryin about a slugfest...its not the game...ITS YOU

In real life...you can fight how you want...if you want to fight a slugfest..you can fight a slug fest...but u can also fight strategically whenever YOU WANT...theres are negatives to what you're doing but you CAN still fight how you want.

Some of you guys have a logic....where if ea somehow made it where the game could never give you "slugfest" as an option of fighting....then everything would be peaches and cream...then they would MAKE YOU fight how they want you to fight....JUST in order to keep it from being a slugfest at all times...this is NOT what you want...please stop complaining because everytime i see posts about slugfest..i keep getting a nightmare in my head that ea reads all this and takes it the wrong way...and starts working on next years game with some crazy engine that takes some of the human control away from you just to keep slugging out of the picture completely....again...YOU DO NOT WANT THAT....you want them to give you consequences for what you're doing...AND THEY'VE ALREADY DONE THAT....its just that too many peeps are basing their assumptions on a 2 round demo...where you can't possibly understand the way the stamina works and what happens to your fighter in a full competetive...12 round fight..

This will be the best boxing game ever by far...be patient...wait for the game to come out...i guarantee peeps will really really love this game after a few months of playing
