Fight Night Round 4 Demo Impressions

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Demo Impressions

As for my impression, I like the presentation. Looks real godd and all. But I just can't help think I would enjoy it more with buttons.

Hold on stick guys....I'm not cheating "button-masher" as you guys say. I don't even play online. I would like to have buttons just for my own use. Its just more comfortable for me.

I feel your pain, I have a 360,no internet hook up yet, but I played it for the first time today over my cousins house on the PS3 and I dont know if it was because of the analog but I couldn't place my punches right and while playing it I was thinking to myself, "man if I had buttons it would solve this" so yeah, I hope that when I get it on the 360 the controls will be better for me, I like the analog still.

My impression playing it for the first time(on the PS3,im a 360 owner) was it was really fun, I got into some of my old habits from FN3, and found out that I much change up a few things,as I stated above I had a little trouble placing my punches hopefully I can get it down pack with more rounds.One thing that bothered me was that at certain times I would throw a uppercutt with either Manny or Rickey and it seemed like they left there fist in the air forever, instead of bringing it back quickly.Certain Fighters movement should be quicker as well, I would throw a jab with Manny and when I would try to step back after it, the responds was lagged.All in all this was pretty fun though, I know it wasnt the finished product and there going to fix some issues, but im still pumped for this game.

Most likely they will add buttons and the controls will be the EXACT same as FNR3 just like the other conf options thats in the game(you can agrue that buttons shouldve been there from the get go if the "old" FNR3 conf is there..but they WANT people to get used to the sticks)

FYI, not using the new TPC will put you at a disadvantage because now all of the new punches will NOT be avalible to you(16 total I believe)....I dont think alot of people actually notice this....EA made this decision for a reason....

I doubt if you can turn that off, but the developer has already stated that the counter window is alot longer in the demo than it will be in the retail version. Count how many seconds it is, then cut it in half. If I'm not mistaken, thats how long the window will be in the retail version.

I can definitely deal with that. Overall, I'm feelin the demo, so I know I'll love the retail.

Creep, I heard that the time on the window will be only slightly reduced. I like it myself-you throw and your opponent makes you miss with near perfect timing-he should be rewarded with a great counter opportunity.

It makes the game a little "Arcadish" to me..

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Demo Impressions

So yesterday, I finally was able to stun Hatton with a cross that WASN'T a counter.

I'm glad this is in the game, but if this is the first time I've seen this after almost a month of playing the demo, its way too rare.

Well keep in mind that these are two of the top fighters in the weight class, so stunning them with one punch inside of 3 rounds IS a rare feat, as well it should be. IMO, with these two fighters, in only three rounds, there shouldn't be anything but decisions, with maybe the occassional knock down, maybe. Both of these fighters can take a punch. Now if you are landing clean 3 and 4 punch combos, that's one thing. But even with each boxers "best" punch, I wouldn't think you could get a one punch stun... perhaps MAYBE late in the third, if you are punishing him through the first 2 rounds.

If my memory serves me correctly, Hatton got knocked clean out in round 2 after getting knocked down twice in the first round, so I don't know why you feel there should be nothing but decisions with the difficulty set to easy.

Also, when I say stun, I mean when the fighter's health bar turns red. A fighter doesn't have to be necessarily hurt to get stunned. I just feel if I land a nice clean punch, there should be more stun moments that aren't counter punches or hooks.

Yeah but you are talking about ONE fight, prior to that he'd never been knocked out, a part from the Mayweather fither and that took 10 rounds and was TKO. They aren't going to base his attributes on one (and the most recent) fight. In 99 combined fights, they have been knocked out 3 time total and that's not taking into account how many ROUNDS that is. Maybe in a lopse-sided fight there would be a bit more stunning, but these fighters are both prime time.

I hear what you are saying but I just think, unless you are not defending yourself AT ALL, these two fighters should be able to make it through 3 rounds with little incident, unless they get caught with some combos and counters. Hatton didn't get knocked out with just one punch or get stunned a few times, he just got beat down.

Also in the past 5 years Pac, apart from the Hatton fight, has only won by KO, inside of 3 rounds, once to a guy that lost 3 of his previous 4 fights and Hatton has had None. So, if their attributes are true to life and based on these fighters in their prime, I'm not sure why you would expect to see them stunned with a single punch, let alone get knocked out.
