Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

The whole xp setup for Online World Championship and Gym is completely disastrous. I never complain about games like this, but as an online gamer, this is one of the biggest design flaws in recent memory.

Instead of seeing who's the better player, it's a test of who has played the game more or who has paid more money. I honestly don't know how to make it work. I splurged and beefed up my heavyweight with the xp boosts, but now no one will fight me, or when they do, I feel guilty because chances are it's my stats that help me win over my skill. The notion that you have to pay to have any amount of success (unless you want to play a million times and lose) is absurd. There should be a ****ing amount of points everyone gets at the beginning and you spend them as you see fit, like every other game.

When you start OWC or the gym with your created guy, a message pops up talking about how your fighter's stats are being leveled to "put everyone on an even playing field." They couldn't be further from the truth.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

I am so disgusted by online. I am like you Meth, I don't think I have had such a huge issue with a game since UFC2010. The online was literally ruined in 24 hours. You can thank all of it to the design decision like Meth mentioned of either play hundred matches to level up and lose the entire time OR spend more money to by XP.

I am a online gamer and spend 99% of my time playing my xbox, PS3, or PC online. If the online modes are not worth playing because of exploits and serious design issues, well I am seriously thinking of trading it in for Top Spin 4 come March 15.

This Gym feature which we all thought would be sooooo cool because we have our own sliders and tournaments with balanced fighters with different skills and stuff. Well it has turned out to be a complete let down and design problem.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

Just got word about Gym Sliders

Just wanted to clarify some communication issues around Online Gym sliders. Users are able to change the following within their Online Gym:


- Number of Rounds

- Round Length

- Saved by the Bell

- Three knockdown rule



However, game play sliders that we've recently stated are in the game are, in fact, not currently in game. This is due to a late change in the game to deal with an online connectivity issue weeks before Final. The team is currently investigating the possibility of adding it back in at a later date, though that has yet to be determined. We apologize for any mis-communication around this feature and will keep you informed as to any update that may be provided.



Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to share with the community.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

Phobia... IM sure We could still have "some" fun with the gym league and all but....this news is a major bummer and I don't know if I'll be as eager to participate in the gym schedule now.........

again Im just really ticked off at how they've baited and switched since the CD and now even a month before the game released their axing features and not telling anybody about it!!!

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

I'm thinking we could possibly set something up using unranked fights. We could all create our boxers using a point to be decided upon later. That way we get to play this thing the way it SHOULD be played. Thoughts?

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

I share the same XP frustrations as everyone else.

I don't know how to fix OWC.

But it seeems to me that the easiest way to make our gym season work is to say that we won't use XP boost fighters in the gym season. Obviously we can't make everyone buy an XP pack so NOT buying an XP pack is the only viable solution.

Is everyone (especially those who already bought XP) willing to commit to this?

can't we level up our fighters just fighting each other, so that if we do that enough, we can take kick *** boxers wc style? Our fighters must get better, then we beat up rivals etc.

my first fight was great and even, the next 2 were right up there on the all time BS videogame list of BS strategy/cheating.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

Well, I think buying XP is pretty lame for the gym, but the xp problem is just a problem for possibly the first season.

The overall 78 fighters are horrendous, so it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. But once you start getting in the 80's it starts to even out a whole lot.

Even and I had a great fight the other night, he was 83 I believe and I was 80. He was pummeling me the whole fight, beating me on the scorecard pretty good. I got lucky in the 6th or 7th with a power left hook and it changed the whole fight.

Also tonight (sorry I forget who it was), was an 81 and I am an 83. And he not only cut and bloodied my left eye real good, he put me on my keester.

There's room for boxing if you'll just spend some time with your characters.

Find someone to spar with, you get xp for sparring. Kiel76 and I sparred for a good couple hours the other night and it got us both from 78 to 80.

Also if you have time, play some legacy. It unlocks athleticism point bonuses that you can use on your character in OWC/Gym. That'll raise you a overall point by itself.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

Oh and sorry I kept missing your fight requests Phobia, it seemed like everytime I just started a match I got your invite.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

The only alternative as far as gym goes that I can think of, is start a new season Lightweight.

Put the rule that you can only increase your character through gym fights alone. No sparring/No Exp boosts.

Bout the only way to keep it even as far as xp boosting/time element.

Re: Path to Greatness: FNC (360) GYM

they could have just put a reasonable cap on everyone like 84 or something and you distribute how you like...the way it is, is a little weird.
