    Fight Night Round 3 better than 4?

    I have been playing fight night for the past week now. I may take it back but does anyone feel this way?? here are a few reasons why...

    I hate the end of the round. Your cutman should not be able to improve your stamina and health. Just your cuts and bruises just like 3. I have played people and just because they have a great 8th round. It negates everything I did in the fight because they are able to max out their health and stamina. In round 4 I have never cut a guy had him bleed and abuse that part of his body till the ref stops the fight. In round 3 If you abused a guys cuts the more you punched there the more health would be taken off.

    Also how is it that my opponent throws 400 more punches than me and I am more tired than he is but we connect on about the same amount. He may have connected on 90 more. You would think he would be exhausted right??? Wrong!

    And back to punches. Do they mean anything. Tyson isn't a counter puncher! Yet regular punches don't do anything to your opponent which is terrible. Unless you do a counter punch you wont win. I understand that counter punches effect the boxer more but regular punches should mean something too.

    Haymakers lol. Why sooooo slow. Thats crazy! There should be more of a risk and reward system for throwing them! but they shouldn't go that damn slow. They should be taken out of the game actually but if they keep em' they should never be that slow but if you miss with one and get hit it should take half your power or something like that. ion know.

    Those are all legitimate complaints and definitely areas where FNR4 needs to improve.

    However, it's undeniably better than FNR3 - and it's not even close.

      I agree that the "corner game" has too much importance - I'ld like to see both fighter getting the same amount of points, and reduce the effectiveness a bit. And yeah, cuts should be increased, but nowhere near the level of FN3, where all you had to do was to keep punching the same side of the face. But that can all be fixed by tuning.

      Then the fatigue. I used to think the same thing, until I noticed that I sucked at blocking body punches because I focused on protecting the head. If you dont protect your ribs you get tired faster - which is at it should be.

      Regular punches can mean something, but you have to to play smart - get the guy tired first, hit him on the side he leans. I often stun opponents with a regular hook or uppercut. Straights are great to finish a stunned opponent. Besides, regular punches (especially jabs) are used to get a decision win by scoring more hits. You dont have to go for the knockout on every fight...

      Haymakers are fine by me. When a guy is tired or has low blocking you can use them to punch trough his guard.

      Well, FN4 isnt perfect - I hate how the CPU seems to be able to counter the first punch of each round EVERY time. (fix that Ian, please?). But theres no doubt its vastly superior to FN3 or every other boxing game.

        Undeniably & vastly better then 3-but I haven 't played it in awhile-waiting for the fixes for online.

          Great Post.....Can't say I feel the same way. FN4 is by far better then Round 3 in my eyes. I still play Legacy Mode to this day, the customization is insane in this game. I still feel this is the Sports Game of the Year......Its leaps and bounds better then Round 3.

            This bears repeating.

            ALL of the complaints listed are legit - not everybody will agree, but enough do to lend credence. This game has alot of things that could be fixed.

            But it's not only better than FN3, it's quite possibly the best boxing game ever.

                The crazy part is FN3 is still a very good game. I do enjoy FN4 more though.
                Gaming hard since 1988

                I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

                  If this were a football game...

                  FN4 wins by at least two touchdowns.

                    FNR4 is much better IMO.

                    Looking forward to the DLC this week !!!

                        Round 3 was better just by virtue of having the button punch control option.
