I also uploaded it. I need more time before I come to a conclusion on if I like or not.

Re: Patch is up

the suction is gone and that makes the movement much better, but it still needs a bit of work.

so far i'm pleased with the update.

Re: Patch is up

I just played 3 fights and I do notice a difference, but I learned my lesson with the first patch. And that is the game will not change what it is at its core. No patch will do that.

That being said, I think the game is where it needs to be (strictly online speaking). All my bouts were Heavyweight, so the boxers moved slower, but I did notice it is easier to escape that magnet feel. People still try to do it, but it doesn't slow things down like it once did. I also feel like I can say stamina may not be perfect, but it's in the vicinity of where it needs to be. I definitely noticed that the two guys I fought grew tired faster when they kept throwing their body shots. In the past I felt I couldn't handle it, but this time around I am able to go deep into the fight. All of my 3 fights went 8+ rounds and the fighters were extremely fatigued. That's something I have been wanting and I think it's now in the online portion of this game.

As an example, in my second fight this morning, I fought a guy that was throwing a lot of punches early. Through 5 rounds I tried my best not to fall into the trap of competing punch for punch. That's very hard for me. Anyway, rounds 6-8 really started to show him tired, and that's when I felt I noticed the patch was positive in the stamina area. My 3rd fight went pretty similar, going 9 rounds and seeing me knock him down in the ninth and then finishing it in the 10th.

I'm not exceptional at this game, so I know those of you that can bob and weave and pick your punches should enjoy the game now. Don't expect to see drastic changes though. The patch doesn't do that. It just levels things some so that you can set yourself up a strategy, rather than feeling like you are manipulating a video game.

The one thing the patch does do that's day and night is illegal blows. In my third fight I could feel my opponent trying to headbutt me. You know when they have a certain style the headbutts roll in. It's nice to know they can't do that now.

So anyway, I like it. I feel like there's more on the side of strategy now, whereas before the first patch just didn't give me the chance to compete on my terms.
