    Prizefighter Patch Suggestions

    1. Judging is horrendous. 99% of the time, all three judges' score cards are EXACTLY THE SAME. I haven't seen a card differ yet. WAY too many 10-10 rounds too. The scoring in general is just bad. There is absolutely NO consideration for fighters being hurt, volume vs. power, aggressiveness, nothing. It's just about who lands the most punches. A fighter can land 20 jweak abs while the other fighter lands 15 clean hooks, and the guy who landed 20 jabs will win the round.

    This is borderline dealbreaker in my opinion. I am enjoying the gameplay, but how can you play online and have close matches when you know the judging is broken? Not to mention your cornerman is Nostradamus and 100% accurately predicts who won the last round. If he says "that round was close!!", or whatever, it's a 10-10 round. This is unacceptable.

    2. Fighter stats. Enough has been said about these already, so I won't go into detail. Some of the ratings are plain backwards. Just look at Edison Miranda, Shannon Briggs, and Andrew Golota.

    3. Not sure if this can realistically be patched, but online - it's like fighters are almost immune to damage. I understand they wanted fights to go the distance, and that's awesome and I want that, however, you can connect with downright CLEAN and VICIOUS shots, and it seems like your opponent was not even hit. The health goes back up like crazy. I was Pavlik vs JCC Jr, round 9 and I had been taking alot of clean shots..well my health was only missing about a centimeter from being full. I just can't understand why that is

    Anyway, those are some major keys to making this game that much better. I like the game, but it needs work. Anyway, post some suggestions on a patch here, and if you've noticed any of the above since you've been playing.

    Yeah, Miranda has no power in this game and the scoring system definitely has to change. 2K owes us a patch.

      I'll go one better and say that the online scoring is inexcusable, and really hampers the online experience.

        1. Collision detection must be worked on if it is at all possible.
        2. I'm not seeing any cuts. Some have claimed to see them, but I am not.
        3. Joe Calzaghe's ratings aren't very good. His power may be overdone, but his stamina is too low. He relies on his work rate to win fights, so stamina should be higher for him.

              I thought the bad judging and inconsistent scoring was part of the simulation aspect:wink:.

              Despite that my friend and I really like the game but you guys bring up good points.
              EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                They have to fix the stat tracking and the scoring of fights. The real boxers also need stats that reflect their real life counterparts. Miranda and Peter with no power? No I know why the producer was wearing flip flops.....He's never seen a real boxing match in his life let alone ever laced up the gloves.

                  The judging needs some fixing imo, after almost all the fights I had last night looking at the judges cards they had the same scores for all 3. Every so often, 1 of the judges would be 1 point lower than the other two.....and this was for myself and the CPU.

                  I hope that Venom and Take Two take the comments/suggestions seriously if we ever get a PF2, because they have a nice little engine under this hood. This game just needs some further refinement.

                    They do. I am a mod over on the 2k forums and believe me when they ask for our reports on the game. We will name just about everything that needs to be fixed with it. I will personally go out of my way to talk with the 2k community manager.

                    I like the game, but there is tweaks that can be done for the next installments if there are any. Imo, it has a good foundation. I just hope they can build on it.

                      Well hopefully they can get it right. Its a decent first effort, but they missed the boat on the things we want patched. I hope there are more installments of this game. The more boxing games the merrier.

                        I agree. I may talk to the 2k guy later today and ask him if i can start one on this website. I dont mind doing it. I did it for the NBA2k9 game on their forums and i wrote 2 very very detailed reports. After my first one, they came to me and said they wanted a 2nd. So i guess it can help.

                              I played someone from here online earlier and we both had our rounds, but i felt he fought better and the judges awarded him the match. Mind you this was my first time online. I thought they called it dead one.

                              My only complaint online is that punches dont do enough damage. I am going to push for this to be adjusted. The big punches need to be felt a little more.
