The major difference was the crazy amount of modifiers EA included for strikes. If they can cut those back it will be a lot better.

I really can't agree with that. I don't know which modifier you'd remove that wouldn't take some level of control out of the players hands.

Still look forward to more info & some vids, but I haven't seen a mini game I liked yet.

I'm hoping that CAFs can be utilized within career mode as random opponents? If I recall correctly, a few of the Fight Nights had that option. After you completed a career mode with your CAF you could drop them into your next career and they would randomly populate in the career "world" as opponents that you might run into or might not.

I hope the retail version will be similar to the build you played.
When I went out to test FN Round 4, the jabs and power shots had a lot of weight to them.
You could keep a guy at bay with a good jab.
Same with crosses.
There was a lot of strategy involved trying to get inside on a taller, stronger fighter because you would get rocked if you got hit clean with a cross.

Then the retail version came out and the crosses and jabs were akin to a kitten pawing gently at your face.

I'd really like to see punches where my fighter doesn't lunge in. If I throw a jab and I'm not pressing the left stick toward my opponent, I want to stay at home and work from the outside. Same thing with the rest of the strikes. I also REALLY REALLY REALLY want to have a straight/cross that actually does some serious damage. Look at the Rousey Holm fight to see how Holly absolutely lit Ronda up with her straight left (she's a southpaw, otherwise it would be a straight right).

Basically, I want to be rewarded for fighting smart and picking my spots.
