Not surprising really. It takes Microsoft alone almost what 3 weeks to certify the patch. Then another 4 to 6 weeks of EA working on fixes, that is creatings fix, testing fix, further testing fix ( LOL Yea right), releasing patch to Microsoft & Sony, then weeks later we get it.
I'd rather they get as much as possible fixed before releasing a patch, but some of these things plagued FN4 and were patched there. I don't see how they get back in.
I'm looking forward to tuner updates. I hope those come earlier than two months.

Ugh. Not promising at all for my standpoint. No mention of getting the sliders working. Everything seems geared toward getting the online experience to be better. People are going to find a way to spam and cheat an online system no matter what they do.
I was thinking about selling my copy because of the slider issue. EA is truly the worse game company this planet has ever seen.

There is this thing called "Rent-First" that so few seem to know about.
For some reason EA Sports Games needing "MAJOR" Patches to fix seems to be the norm nowdays.
I feel sorry for folks that dropped $60 thinking things have changed.

I just don't get it; how can you bring out a demo almost a month before release; and still ship a game full of bugs? Then tell the community that it will be a few months before they can get a patch out? Oh; and state that they will work on the tuner sets to tweak "whatever" shortly? They used me as a tester for their demo (collected info for online); and i didn't get paid; and now they are slacking off! There should have been a patch ready on release day with all those problems. Sliders being at the head of the pack. EA had two years to work on this game; and it still shipped with bugs... WOW. I feel like i got sucker PUNCHED! don't you?
cheers EA.

Another thing that is getting silly is the advice to rent first. You can wait a week to purchase the game and read forums here on OS to come to a logical conclusion of the game. Me, I felt I'd enjoy it enough to keep putting a few bucks on it until I paid it off in time for release. And I have no regrets.
That's not to say I don't have issues with some things in the game, but at some point we need to take a step back and hold ourselves accountable first. All these comments like, "I'm not surprised, it's EA...they suck.." tell me some of you should know better. If you can say that, you did the math. You don't like EA. Fine, don't buy the game and be done with it. But for some reason it's as if people are standing in line to gripe.
It looks like Dave DQ has what I call "good sense" and is realistic about the world. Everyone has to understand that the days of "complete" videogames being released are over. EA is a leit business and they have dates or deadlines to meet regardless of the end user. People are pushing this product out to save their jobs an dI may have problems with it but I understand their goal and I can choose to support them or not (why I stopped buying NBA Live).
That being said, 5 years ago we did not have patches, we took what they gave us and made the best out of it. For instance, Knockout Kings 2002 was a horrible game but I still played it and there was no patch, Coach K had a fadeaway glitch but I still played it and there was no patch. I made my choice and I lived with it.
do I like having patches...no, I don't but I understand that it is a game and I use it as a tool to have some fun and alleviate stress.

These flaws seem very correctable like working sliders,stamina, and AI punch output for FNC, but the odds of EA delivering are slim to none. Its frustrating, but they are the only game in town so you have to pick your poison.
I'm glad I didn't get the game yet. Their are people waiting on my feedback and review but from me watching various forums I'm really upset and thinking about not getting it until it's patched.

Hmmm, you'd think with the 2 year developement cycle they would have the small things worked out.
Oh well, we are going to get a good boxing game one of these days or months..

It would be sweet if we got that type of patch here. Seems odd that if MMA had a winning stamina model it wouldn't be implemented here. But I guess if the Button mashing Rock em Sock em crowd is crying about realistic stamina, maybe their marketing/sales department said give them their cake.....

There are things in Fight Night I shake my head at. I hate the inclusion of headbutts. I don't like how unrealistic knockdowns look like, but I enjoy it to where it's fun. I just don't let all the negative energy destroy my enjoyment, and I don't consider myself less of a boxing fan because I do.
DaveDQ,

I would say consumers that have this mantality is why we continually see EA Sports games released with so many issues out-the-box.
I don't know were you live, but Blockbuster here releases a rental within 1-3 days of its release if they're going to carry it. Sometimes the same day, so to bad it's not that way were you are.
Also, since when is it silly to verify the quality of a product before you purchase?
Even more so in this this Financial atmosphere!
Silly is not having enough self control, that waiting a couple of days before buyng a video game is not an option.

Paying on the game 10 bucks at a time for several months is self control. I have no problem with anyone who waits. In fact, that's my point. I'm doing it with MLB 2K11. Waiting makes sense to me because we have reviews, Youtube, OS and various other places to give us an overall impression of the game. I just think the whole concept of "renting first" is highly overrated. you're still spending money when really you can make a good decision on a game with a demo and then places like OS.

I just can't get over how this game has many of the same issues as FNR4:
Freezing in legacy when using a CAB
Locking up online and causing some 360's to RROD (I have PS3, but I had FNR4 on 360, mine RROD'd)
Punch spamming with no stamina penalty when online
Add to this the fact people are now losing $$$ from lost XP, they expect us to buy DLC, etc? Why not have Flo from Progressive help them out?
Seriously, this game is better, but it is so crippled at times there is no fun in it. I can't even add CAB's to my legacy offline, I can't compete online because I lost my XP and there aren't any other 78's sitting around to play. I am just very disappointed, that's the only way to put it.
