DLC to allow button punching

[goh]

"In a chat a couple weeks back on IGN, Fight Night Round 4 producer Brian Hayes said that remapping the face buttons to throw punches might be "an option via DLC."

His full reply:

There is no option for face button punching in the final version, but we are investigating providing the option via DLC.

Now, no one said specifically that the face-button option would be paid DLC."

I was going to rent it when the local store got it but since I know there's no option I'll wait and I certianly won't pay for a controller option that should've been there to begin with. Of course it'd probably be free as not to mess up online play along with the negative reaction it would cause.

Ok we've heard enough of the complaining already. Get with the times or stick to FN3.

Re: DLC to allow button punching

it ain't a complaint

EA is stupidly dumb for taking button punches out of the game

INCREDIBLY STUPID for it for the simple fact they didn't need to

the game wouldve sold with it in so why take it out

this is quite possibly the dumbest most idiotic move by EA i have seen in a while and may even top the flop when they made Madden's first jump to next-gen

sales aren't the total measure of success when you're the only game in town

Bottom line: EA is dumb and making the most idiotic moves

Is it already availble for download? I'm not buying it until they add it.

Actually, it's not a dumb move. If you cannot conform to how the game was made, don't play it or talk about it.

You are correct, Voldemort.

I am a converted button user...but it is foolish of EA from a strategic business plan to alienate a large segment of their market. All they had to is have two separate online systems.

I hope the DLC will add more boxers and venues. Could care less about buttons. Loving the stick.

Re: DLC to allow button punching

First let me start off by saying that in FN3 i was a button guy. Most of my friends were button guys. With the release of FN4 we have all adjusted to the stick punching and love this game! It is an issue of how stubborn will a consumer be that they can't simply adjust to an innovation in boxing video games. Was there this much of an uproar when NHL took out the speed burst button? Were people refusing to buy the product unless it was patched? If so, two of EA's top 3 QUALITY sports titles (FN, NHL, FIFA) made genre changing innovations that stubborn people have missed out on.

I agree 100%. I honestly didn not know FN3 had the option for button punching. When I heard about FN4 with the new stick control, I was like what? didn't they already have it like that?

It's unbelievable all the people complaining about these dumb button controls, you should see all the other gaming sites with everyone trolling for buttons.

I am not a venue guy. They pretty much have all the big ones except for a few Euro sites. I would be happy with just DLC boxers until the next release. Venues just aren't a big deal to me.

When it comes to big time arenas, they can be all the same to me. Its when you have unique places like the Manilla venue that are just awesome to me. Places that capture the culture of the country. Can't say that any venue in the US does that. Unless of course we actually got to hear them say "Madison Square Garden." Just the name alone makes you feel pride in the U S of A

um it is a dumb move and it is indicitiative of the very nature that people constantly have dogged EA over time and time again.

Re: DLC to allow button punching

I wonder how successful they will be with DLC fighters, when everybody's alread making them and uploading them.

Re: DLC to allow button punching

it would great to have the face buttons. i highly doubt they will offer these via DLC. They could have just put it into the game 6 months ago when they new people were upset.

Re: DLC to allow button punching

people always say "get used to it" or "don't play" lol crazy

i also like how people say the stick is realistic when there is only ONE stick and a bocer has TWO hands

the stick can never be more realistic than the buttons because of that simple fact.
