I was Pavlik. MEDIUM difficulty, 2 minute rounds. I somewhat slowed his Step Around Hooks with Hook counters and eventually using decent blocking and right crosses I hurt him with an adrenaline punch and two rights to the body and two to the head put him down for the first and last time.

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
Wow, I am a defender of EA games. Who would thunk it.
I was using Ian Cummings as an example of a developer coming on the boards and taking feedback in real time. I give props where props are deserved.
I have been supporting 2k sports since 9/9/99. Now back to the thread topic.
The more read about this game the more I want to give it a try. If the only positive contribution PF give is stamina this is a major improvement in almost all boxing games. So, far this is a tale of 2 games. Some hate it with a passion and others are enjoying their learning curve and sim like qualities.
Peace
I'm not saying that you're an EA defender, just letting you know that your assumptions were wrong. You said that they ignored their customers, which they don't, they never have.
If EA really listened then Madden 09 would be shaping up to be a realistic product, which it's not. I do give Ian credit though, he has been doing a good job of interacting with everyone.Comment

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
Just got to the point in my career where I am the main event and have commentating.
2 things:
Commentating is borderline awful.
Using the D-pad for dash is MANDATORY. The game is getting much harder and having the dash 100% work when I need it is a must. D-pad hasn't let me down. The step in punches are really helping on the tougher fighters as well as the clinching.
And as Jaybee mentioned, you should very rarely get hit with step around hooks. Easy to counter and the more you do, the less they throw.
And as someone as else mentioned, if you defend and make your punches count, the computer will adapt and retreat.
After spending about 10 hours with this game, it is easily a 7.5 with collision detection issues preventing a higher score.
There is no doubt in my mind that reviewers don't know or don't care to know how to play. A huge error on 2k's part was not having a better tutorial.Comment

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
I'll give him credit for coming here now but lets not act like 2k, SCEA and other companies havent had a presence on this board. Ian and the EA guys didnt start to show up until a Madden fansite became part of OS and an EA employee became the majority owner of OS. I'm sure people from Prizefighters lurk on these boards and the 2k boards too.
Back to the game, I'm going to try Thelwig's tips and hopefully they work.

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
Thats pretty good yo, 1 knockdown and he was out. I slipped a computers hook last night and countered with an adrenaline punch. A stright left(I was fighting Southpaw) and literally knocked a guy with almost full power through the bottom ropes. He got up though.

No, the Berto KO was a count out, the accumulation of several punches.Comment

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
Whoever posted the RB+X = Step in jab and those other hints: Thank you!!
That was exactly what I was looking for: a bit stronger jab. If you hit the guy in the kisser, he is not coming at you any more or at least knocks his punch off target.
The d-pad is way better and I can hop around the ring when I need to. It takes stamina so you can't abuse it, but helps in a pinch.
I still can't clinch though. How close do you have to be? I keep missing or the other fighter punches me every time.
Using the RB+ the face button+ L stick direction gets you different types of punches and steps it seems. There is alot more control than I realized.www.simgamingnetwork.com Come join our leagues!

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
yeah, the step punches are really helpful. I just went had a good 10 rounder in my career. I knocked the other guy down 2 times (once in the 8th and once in the 10th). I didn't get knocked down at all.
I throw alot of punches from the lean. Meaning I bob and weave and when I am leaning to one side, I throw some good body shots followed by an uppercut. It also really helps to not try to throw too many punches at once. After you land 3-4 punches, back out and put your guard up.
My fingers are sore from all this button mashing. Really miss the FN controls.My Fan Page http://theusualgamer.net/MyFanPage_Heelfan71.aspx

Clinch when he is blocking and only when he is blocking. So you may need to block, then throw a few punches to initiate his blocking, then clinch.Comment

Re: Anyone get prizefighter yet?
Yeah thats what I am trying but when he is blocking I just miss. Like my guy is hugging himself. Maybe I am not close enough.www.simgamingnetwork.com Come join our leagues!
