    3 min rounds in prizefighter gives a much better boxing pace.

    the game seems to be designed to fight 3 minute rounds.

    after several games of testing, the AI seems to pace itself much better when fighting 3 minute rounds and he isn't on top of you for the entire round. the AI appears to try and use a strategy other than bum rushing.

    if you set the round time to anything under 3 minutes the AI goes into desperation mode and fights the entire fight like its the final round and he is behind on all cards....

    in 3 minute rounds i was able to establish a jab and utilize all of my other boxing skills(i got off some really nice combos) things that can not be done in sub 3 minute rounds.

    the reaction to the punches seems to be a little more realistic but still not where it should be.

    3 minute rounds = a better boxing experience.

    give it a try

        I was wondering the same, because as much as I like what they have done here with the game the damn CPU is too aggressive.

        Or maybe I just plain suck.

                If this is the case, this bug proves that the game has not been tested to its fullest. Of course a boxing game should default on 3:00 rounds. If this is true, it will ixnay my purchase, even though that I am sure Exhibition 3:00 matches are realistic and excellent. A damn shame. 2K has talent, however the negative perception production has of its testers holds it back. Forget it being defaulted at 1:30, you are telling me that Venom put all that time into producing a great game, all that talent into it, and not only does the game not default on 3:00 rounds with a referee and clinches, but you can't change the career mode time. Pathetic. Heartbreaking. Just drive a nail into my achilles heel why don't you.

                New designers and oversight it is time for.

                What a bug.

                  Not a bug, I am sure its a design decision. I love the 1:30 rounds in career mode, but I believe you should have the choice to play 3 minute rounds. The punch totals are very realistic at 1:30.

                      It is a bug. How long is a boxing round? 3 minutes long. This isn't women's boxing. This is boxing. 3 minute rounds. If the user wants to change it to 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds or 2 minutes, add that interface fine. But it should always pivot off of 3:00 rounds because that is the standard. That should be what the A.I. is programmed to. This thread it about how 3 minute rounds give a much better boxing experience. If that is the case, then Exhibition is good experience but 1:30 Career mode is no good. Other may not see this as bug. That is their opinion. In my opinion, this is a bug and is a problem to me.

                        That still wouldn't be a bug. If they made a conscious decision to only allow 1:30 rounds, there is no errors in the code. It could be considered a design flaw, but it is not a bug unless they wanted round time to be adjustable in career mode.

                          I am not trying to even convince anyone that this is a bug. This is a bug to me. If it is not a bug to you then okay. Even if they made a conscious decision to allow only 1:30 rounds in career mode it is still a bug.

                          What worries me is it sounds like the A.I. paces itself better during a 3 minute round. That is probably why people keep complaining that the A.I. is too aggressive in shorter rounds. Because there is less time to separate punch stats and less chance of a round being 10-9 instead of 10-10.

                          Also, there is less time to get 3 knockdowns in one round to get the three knockdown rule. My point is the whole reason why I wanted to get this game was to go through career mode and see if it is realistic. It's not that people still can't enjoy the game, they can. It probably still is fun to go through and play 1:30 minute rounds. I am not saying it isn't.

                          We as gamers should not be arguing whether a bug isn't officially a bug or is officially a bug. if there is a problem to a user, it is a bug. The bug may never be fixed. The programmer may laugh at tester for writing bug. The fact remains that it still is a bug. Maybe just a bug to one little tester who has no authority or who no one cares about. That is fine. It is still a bug and will always be a bug to me no matter who agrees disagrees or even cares.

                          The Hajime No Ippo games are one thing. In all modes rounds are 90 seconds long. i don't care because it is CONSISTENT throughout the game. I decided that the game is just paced that way and I can live with that.

                          But if you have an option to have the round different length in Exhibition Mode but don't have the option in Career Mode, nothing anyone can say will convince me that this isn't a bug. I still may buy the game who knows. But this is disappointing to me considering I was worried that something like this would happen even before I read this thread. This does not surprise me is what I am trying to say. The fact the the game has some good qualities about it make this issue all the more unfortunate.

                            It's not a bug! They did it on purpose.
