Finally worth the pick up?

[Steven547]

Ok...many moons after the patches and tweaks...do you think this game is finally worthy of a purchase? I read so many negatives about this game I stayed away from it.

I guess this question will get many different answers, but just wanting to see if the game has improved....worth the buy now?

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

I was thinking about gettin this, but after all the negativity, im not gettin it.

I'm still having a blast with FNR4 (For some strange reason),


Anybody got some good (realistic) sliders for Round 4?

Here are my settings that have breathed new life into the game for me. I believe these sliders add a realistic challenge and are fun. Use them for several matches and let me know if you like them.

Difficulty: Champion
Number of Rounds: 12
Round Length: 1 minute (believe it or not gives you realistic punch numbers)
Saved by the bell: Last round only
Three knockdown rule: Yes

Referee Foul Awareness: 10
Referee Damage Awareness: 10
Boxer Power: 8
Boxer Speed: 5 (helps with movement and punch speed)
Boxer Physical Damage: 5
Boxer Toughness: 5 (helps you remember how important defense is)
Boxer Accuracy: 10 (looks crazy, but trust me)
Boxer Stamina: 6
Counter Punch Window: 0
CPU Offensive Awareness: 5
CPU Defensive Awareness: 0
CPU Punch Output: 5

Try out these matches for some real fun:
Malignaggi (you) vs Pacman
Spinks (you) vs Hearns
Pavlik (you) vs Hopkins

Then try out matches with two good boxers, and one where your the better boxer versus a weaker guy in the division.

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

Personally i think this game blows easily past FN4.. there are some dumb things they did i.e. the first patch but overall the feeling is pretty much more closer to real boxing... if they just give a notch more on the stamina then the game would be perfect... no real complaints at alll

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

If you mainly play online, i'd say a big YES. I think it plays solid after the latest patch. With the way stamina is now, I can finally beat idiots who throw a million punches. Much more strategy involved now.

I'm mainly an offline guy. What about the offline mode then? I'm reading that if you make some major changes to all the boxer ratings, etc..it plays 100% better...

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

man offline is good it was never the issue all the neg for this game was mostly about online....p.s the story mode is not to be missed....short but great

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

I only need one question answered...

If I cpu-vs-cpu: Pernell Whitaker vs Arturo Gatti, does Gatti win?

No Gatti would not win, but he isn't in this edition either. They need to bring back Gatti and Ward and the Rivalry mode from FNr4

Thanks. Probably go pick this up now. Is there a good website for CAB and ratings adjustments, etc?

Sure? in Round 4 Gatti would either KO or simply whoop up on Whitaker with any settings I tried

It was so ridiculous to watch

Re: Finally worth the pick up?

I've played all EA boxing from KO Kings on the PSOne (1999) to FN rd 3 on the PS2.
The thing I like about FNC is the player controls, physics and nothing else. It feels like you're the one really controlling your boxer unlike in the previous series. The impact of the punches is great in this game.
