FN4 developer Q&A @ IGN

Re: FN4 developer Q&A @ IGN

I think all the people who play UFC: Undisputed and have any understanding of the ground game will find the FN4 control scheme very comfortable and rewarding because the haymakers and hooks are major and minor transitions!
Plus people there are buttons punches!!!!!!!!!! Have fun just doing Manny's semi ******** motion or the Hatton headbutt
Question:

Online Mode: Will there be an option to only search for matches with a Create Boxer Attribute Cap? ie Only face players with a create a boxer rated a 90 or below or something.

Re: FN4 developer Q&A @ IGN

So far it's mostly immature gamers whining about no button-only control scheme. Hopefully you guys can submit some more intelligent, relevant questions.

I love how people call it whining. These are legit complaints. Its been in boxing games FOREVER. Ya, adjust, shut up with that garbage. I will adjust to the AI, and how they box during the match. I can adjust to that. But having to adjust to a whole new control scheme that I've never been able to do to begin with is dumb. Hundreds of thousands of ppl won't by this game now. EA needs to recognize that. If there are so many of us "whiners" on the Q&A @ IGN thing, that just tells you obviously it's the biggest overwhelming concern the gamers have. FN dev team would be making a mistake. Push back the date if you have to, but implent the option, at least for offline use. If not, you will lose a LOT of money.

It's the nature of the comments:

• "the new mechanics are ********"
• "New controls are GARBAGE"
• "The demo is a disgrace, the graphics are cartoony"
• "Signature punch is pathetic"
• "The “revamped” controls are GARBAGE. The new control system is horrible on so many levels."
• Nobody likes the fight stick
• well i think and most people think you guy mest up big time on not latting you use the face bottons like in fn3 we shouldent have play the game you want us to but the way the people want to im not getting the game because of that and if you guys payed attention to the fans you would no that like 90% of the fans are upset at this bring the buttons back

Or lame comments like this:
I'm in agreement with many of the posts here. Omiting button punch controls would be a big mistake. I'm actually a video game store manager and have been one for 5 years now. Since the first game the VAST majority of customers prefer to use the face buttons to punch rather than the TPC. I've actually had customers return the game because they thought the analog stick was the only way to punch. After i told them they could switch to face buttons they loved it. Not including button controls WILL cause you guys to sell less copies. I personally was very excited about the game till I heard there was no button controls. I will not buy the game without it.

Oh really? you are a video game store manager huh? Oh the VAST number of gamers prefer button punching huh? I see your retail experience and warnings about diminished sales will scare EA into action!!

Really want to know if there will be a 32 minute round or accelerated clock option in career mode.

Thanks.
