Thanks for the confirmation Dave. I'll be on after work, after 3:00pm eastern. RA needs to unglitch their forums, the developers tag got deleted.

ugh, was hoping to see increased stamina loss in the stand up, but happy w/ everything else nonetheless

I just played 5 online fights and went 3-2. I noticed what seemed to be a big difference in stamina dropping. Both standing up and on the ground sees a big drop in when you miss. As a whole, stamina drops faster. I found myself on several occasions redlined because of stamina dropping.

Punches from the dominant position are extremely effective. I knocked a guy out with 4 ground and pound shots. These were just online fights, so I can't comment on anything else, but the game's excitement level for me is heightened. More than ever, because stamina drops so fast, you are forced to be patient.

That's just a quick update. I look forward to messing with it more tonight.

EA hit their mark with this title. Come out with a quality title right of the bat and then use the patch to fix/adjust important issues that come up, not fixing miscellaneous issues no one really cares about. Now they just need to do away with button striking and make everyone use TSC to keep the online leaderboards balanced.

Same. I can't get back into this until they fix that.
