Messed up. Can't deal with all the freezes for another month. Regretting getting this now.

Thoughts? I do like the return of 1pko's.

- One punch KO's are too low (fixed in the upcoming patch)
- Damage too low
- Complaints that stamina was too low (since been raised)
- Complaints that all fights went 10 unexciting rounds
- Jab spamming to the body (somewhat addressed looking into it for next patch/tuner)
- Guys running for entire fights and winning (scoring system being altered in next patch)
- etc

I don't think stamina is too low. Fighters barely lose stamina when fighting in the lower weight classes.

I think new tuner affects the 2 systems differentially ...on xbox i read that the stamina is high were you can throw 1000 punches and not get tired...just the opposite for the ps3...1000 punches wiill leave you on life support

Which leads me to another thought....PS3 users and XBOX users are not playing the same game?!....kinda makes our arguments moot when replying in posts....dayummm even EA ****ed that up!

What actually galls me about this situation is that EA got a reprieve of sorts while the PS3 Network was down. They had time to work out this crap before the network came back up and PS3 users actually got access to the new tuner (3 weeks in fact. And yes I am aware of the difference between a tuner and a patch.). They could have quelled a lot of the complaining by being ready when PSN went live with the second tuner and the patch that we're now talking about coming out in June. I don't mean to leave out the XBOX folks, but better to have it work right on 1 system than neither.

What further frustrates the whole situation is that you can almost get a playable offline experience with no patch and tuner 1, but 1.01 fixed freezes as well as breaking other things. So, we are tantalized by having a decent experience while the kinks are being worked out only to be 25 fights into legacy and hit a freeze issue (Which, on my system persists through the saved game. That is, if I save right before I have the crash issue, whatever causes that issue infects the save file so that my legacy is pretty much terminated right there. I know I could use multiple saves to get around this, but sheesh, just how much working around are we supposed to do for a game that went Gold months ago?)

You took the words right out of my brain.

Stamina is weird in FNC for ps3, if you tag the body on a consistent basis. It makes it hard for the cpu to get up from a knockdown. But it doesn't show on their stamina bar. the stamina bar only tracks punches, and not damage from being hit in the head or body for the cpu. For human it all matters and my stamina goes down at the right pace. that's the way I look at it. After i went back online with the psn i played about five fights each time it was consistent with that. Also with the tuner its easier to knockdown the cpu at least I think so. Overall I like the game, but its a shame the dev couldn't get the game where it needs to be. In our eyes it doesn't seem hard, but they are making it difficult. EA has had these chats for everything else except for when the game goes wrong. They need to have an open forum for players to give ideas on how or what the game needs to be. I truly believe they are not far from having it tuned the right way.

They do. And this is not the only related thread. They've been collecting feedback since the initial blowback from gameplay after the Gold release.

Well looks like the game is getting patches in late June. Between this and the fact that I can't enjoy the game like I want without the internet available I am just fed up. I am one of the game's biggest supporters, but enough is enough. I'm done. Too many hoops to go through to play this game, re-formatting this just to play this without a freeze.
