Including me. I just happened to be one of the few who actually played the game the right way. If I care enough, I will adapt, but right now it doesn't seem worth the adjustment.

The patch is amazing. You have to fight smart now. Cant just overwhelmed your opponent with punches, or run away the whole fight and end up winning.



BOXING IS BACK BABY!

Is it me or has the judging been terrible since the first patch/tuner? Why doesn't it reward me for throwing less and landing more? Match after match I lose rounds I clearly won. I thought the judging was very well done on release.

With regards to the patch, stamina is definitely much better but slightly too low. I had a guy slowing down in the 1st round! I just KO'd three people using Tyson by just letting them gas out in the mid rounds.

I had that happen to me too.

How is offline playing?

For offline, do you notice if the CPU is more conservative with it's energy/stamina?
I love hearing that stamina has been fixed, but I hope the CPU is smarter about it and doesn't simply wail away until it's zombie-walking around waiting to get KO'd.

I don't know about what has become of this title. As I look back at things it's almost like when they said we'd have patches and tuners we, from the start, felt the game would be released in a broken state. In some ways it was, but several moths later things are so muddy and unclear.

Every tuner/patch has been an adjustment for me. You don't have the sense that you have a core game and it is being tweaked. Rather, you have this up and down instability where things are being taken out, and other things are being added. From one punch KOs, to "authentic brutality," to the perfect block. It's like the whole game is a beta project.

This current patch leads me to feel the same. It's another adjustment I have to make so that I play the game toward its adjustments. I don't know that I want that again. Maybe the payoff will be there but overall I'm let down by FNC.

I'll test it out when I get home tonight. But I have to say, how did EA turn this game into such a mess? The initial out of the box game was great. It just needed a few tweaks. Now, we get a different game with no real cuts or swelling, no real stoppages due to damage, and perhaps no ability to use guys like Ali effectively! In others words, the game has taken about 5 steps back and a couple steps forward. EA gave in to the fans on its forums way too much. This should've been the greatest boxing game of all-time, it should've been, easily, but it has been atrociously managed by EA and it's devs. I will know tonight if it's worth playing again.
