Fight Night Champion Tuner Set Available Today, For 360 Demo Only

Had five fights, two knockdowns for me, one for my opponent (3 knockdowns occurred all in the same fight).

My first fight with the three knockdowns, had my opponent throwing a bunch of lead power rights with Ali. He ended up throwing 358 punches, and over 100 power shots. He was slow as molasses in the second and third round, but a lot of that had to do with the fact he was still throwing a lot of power modifiers. When I knocked him down in the final round, exhaustion had a lot to do with it.

The extra stamina loss is there but not to a super high degree.

I really like what they've done with this tuner set. Just that little bit of adjustment to the stamina really forces the spammers to fight more realistically or else.

You will be able to box and drag fights out if you pace yourself and fight a smart fight. Making each punch more powerful is a step in the right direction of forcing everyone to think about defending yourself as much as throwing punches rather than 10 round of non-stop mindless beating on each other with lesser consequences .

I played 5 matches post-tuner set and I like it a lot better. The stamina situation is much improved.

My only real concern after playing the demo is that Ali's power is too high. All his other ratings are fine but he should not have Foremanesque power.

So far I like the game tuner a lot better then I did then when it 1st came out. I still throw too many punches but the game itself seems to flow better. I just got my 1st decision win against Cotto this morning. He's beat me the last 2 fights except for a draw.

Where I'm seeing the difference is in the counter punch and its strength. I'm very fearful of getting countered, so my punches are at an all time low, and I had to discipline myself to throw less than 70 a round. I get caught up in the slugfest.

But I see the reward here. If you counter at the right time, the fight could be over and I really like that.

I don't know. I fell into a trap with one guy who had Ali. He was continually throwing jabs, and missing most of them, but I was unable to catch him. He ended the night 172-403 (42%), no power modifiers thrown, NO COUNTERS landed and FRESH AS A DAISY.

I was 124-207 (59%), 28-53 power modified, and 7-7 on counters.

I was surprised he landed 42% of his punches. It seemed like it should have been lower.

The scoring is still sometimes absurd. 2 of the 3 judges gave my opponent (Ali) the second round despite 48-90 (53%) to 35-106 (33%), Powers-2-2, counters 2-0.
