Fight Night Round 4 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

Why can't we edit existing fighters? This was the big thing this patch was going to address?

Is that part of the paid d/l with Hopkins and Liston?

You will be amazed at how much more "adult" and "professional" something looks if you write clear and in a well spoken manner.

Very first fight after the patch. Played somebody, was working him with good strategy and patience. Then headbutt with immediate right cross, i'm on canvas, patch = fail.

Probably the best part of this patch is watching a stunned guy stand there and not move or block or anything. You know exactly what's happening. He's trying to headbutt. Someone mentioned it earlier...you know they are going to town on that controller thinking, "WTF?!?"

As soon as I read that they were removing illegal blows from the stun state, I thought "why the hell didn't they just remove them altogether?"

One subtle thing they could have fixed...the same way they make stamina go down for continuing to run, or spam upper body movement...they should make health deplete at a higher rate for accumulation of punches. Like each successive punch should deplete damage at a higher rate than the previous punch. There's no reason a boxer should be able to take 5 consecutive flush punches without being hurt.

Actually, and I don't have any real proof off of a handful of games, but I think that does happen... not so much the each successive punch being more damaging, but just regular, non-counter punches in succession causing more damage than I remember.

Nah, it doesn't. Fight against a non-controlled 2nd player. If I use George Foreman, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to knock out a Roy Jones after at least 5 left-right hooks where he's not doing any blocking whatsoever.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

Ok so I finally got 2 fights in post patch. AMAZING DIFFERENCE. Both fighters were obvious spammers, I knocked the first one out in the 7th round. Makes snese, he spammed and ran outta stamina LOL and I KO'ed his arse.

Next fight, disconnect round 6. He spammed haymakers and lost stamina I imagine. I palyed my typical methodical fight and he quit.

It's all good EA!!!!!

Thank you.

That should happen, but the game was not developed with that philosophy. They want to have big hits land frequently and with a big "wow" factor because many will put the game down if it truly reflects the sport. I'm ok with that. In fact, EA does a good job of balancing the game enough so that if both of you play in a manner that does represent boxing, you are in for a good fight. I know a lot of people will say, "But we have Facebreaker for that stuff," but let's be honest, the overwhelming majority that buy this game want the big knockdowns with funny looking knockouts.

I noticed the same thing last night. The ability to get out of harms way and prevent the constant body shots is a blessing.

How exactly are you doing that? I fought a guy ranked 4th in WC last night and could not get out from his zone.

Not sure why that is. I think maybe reach and speed have something to do with this. I fought 4 fights in WC last night and lost all 4. But it wasn't because of spam, they flat out beat me straight up. It was rather refreshing to lose to good fighters. Allbeit very frustrating to lose 4 stright. LOL

I proceeded to fight a ranked match and KO'ed my opponent in the 5th. Had to go out with a win.

All in all 3-5 (3ko) last night, 3-1 ranked matches, 0-4 WC. But I had more fun then I've had with it in a while.

Same with me last night. I fought one guy who was ranked 4th. He completely destroyed me, but he was spamming. I just can't take out those skilled aggressive guys. I did go with one guy who was ranked around the 40's. His name is II SubZero. I went 10 rounds and he knocked me out in the tenth. He was aggressive, but not too heavy. He later sent me a message, "run B****, run." I replied that he should at least respect me. He claims all I did was run around the ring. I was simply trying to defend myself.

My last fight I went 8 rounds, lost the first four rounds but turned it around. I knocked him out in the 8th. That was very rewarding looking at the cards after the fight. I had to stop there. Those guys in the 100's are just very hard to beat.

I know, there has to be a strategy for taking out the agressive fighters. I just don't know it yet. What kills me is I can't block a haymaker to save my life. That was my demise all last night. I need to practice offline blocking the body. Those big body haymakers just kill me.

Re: Fight Night Round 4 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

Jab in between. throw two or 3 stop... then back up.. they always throw haymakers when you pepper them with the jabs.. make them swing at air.. usually they throw with one hand.. if you have to block. blockl to the side they usually throw

AGAIN USE YOUR JAB
