    I got it. About to play in a few. Only thing is I can only play about 45 minutes until I have to head back out. Will get lots of PT tonight.

      Hope that you or someone else can provide some feedback before i leave work. Really hoping this is a good enough boxing game. Biggest complain around was collision so hopefully it was "improved" for retail copy.

      Also looking for impressions on gameplay and collision.

      Thanks in advance.

          3 things I'd like to know...

          How many CAB slots? Fighting styles can you tell the difference between the styles when the cpu is fighting? Slugfest/arcade or boxing sim? If anyone can answer those questions, I would appreciate it, Thanks.

                only got in a few exhibition matches. Can't say either right now. Controls do feel a little sluggish so far. Of course I am still learning them so....... I do know that if you don't block punches you will get beat bad. I felt like I was having to box. You can choose your round limit in exhibition (not sure about career). 1,2 or 3 minute rounds. Pick the number of rounds too. I won't know more until tonight when I can play some more.

                  I have been reading on the 2k site about the game. One guy is getting mad because he trying to play the game like FN3 and isn't being able to move very fast due to him losing stamina by button mashing.

                  So, it seems that you have to actually box in this game to survive. Also, he said he almost got KO'd in the first round

                  Another thing I think different boxers move faster than other boxers. Try double-tapping the L-stick.

                    The same guy (CUFreeze) is also saying that the only thing the CPU does is side-step and hook which sends him halfway across the ring and does a large amount of damage.
                    He admits that maybe he's still getting used to the controls, but from what he's seen early on, every CPU boxer fights the same way and it's very hard to tell if they're going to the body or head - hence his inability to block properly.

                    And it seems that he's getting very upset with the lack of footspeed. He's taking some quick footed fighters and it still feels like he's moving in cement.

                    I haven't played the game yet so I'm not going to trash it. But I really hope the gameplay didn't take a backseat so they could put all their efforts into the story-mode.

                      With people comparing this game to FN3, as an ex-boxer FN3 was far from reality. There is going to be a learning curve from the way you where playing FN3. That new video from gametrailors I believe from yesterday the boxers moved pretty well.

                        Hey guys- CUFREEZE is me.

                        Yes I am on a steep learning curve i think. I am not trying to button mash like Ron said in there. I am tryng to box sim. Hard to do because 1. I suck badly lol 2. footspeed is very slow it seems 3. CPU fights with lots of special punches and the side step punches.

                        I would Rent it first. I am by no means saying the game sucks...I just am not adapting very well i guess and I do not see SIM in the CPUs styles.

                          How is the Jab? Are you able to keep the guy at bay with it? Try this if your doing bad. Use the jab more, move to the left(away from the right hand), when your inside or close throw 3-5 punchs, then move to regain stamina, and keep trying this. Let me know if this works

                            Freeze, are you seeing the CPU getting any slower after throwing so many haymakers or specialty punches?

                            Even if a fighter lands every power-punch he throws, he's still going to get gassed if he throws a lot of them. I hope PF translates that properly.

                              Reading through this entire thread, I have the same question as Money. I would like to know if the CPU's stamina also decreases after throwing so many punches in general (not just haymakers or specialties). If the CPU doesn't tire, we are in for a long fight.

                              Freeze, someone mentions that over at the 2KForums you said that a punch nailed you which flung you 1/2 way across the ring. Was this early in the fight or later rounds?
