A few questions before I purchase the game

[stags14]

I am a huge boxing fan and have FN4. I was not a fan of last years game because of all of the body spammers that really took away from the online play. I felt like my guy would just get sucked in and I could not do anything. Anyway, here are my questions for the people who have the game already.

1) I saw that the button punching is back again. Do button punchers have an advantage over the people who use analog? Or does the new refined boxing controls help with putting together quicker and more useful cominations so button punchers don't have an advantage?

2) I have heard about the OWC but don't know much about it. I heard you can buy XP to make your boxer better and gain XP through online gyms and the career mode. Can you only use CAB for this or can you use the real boxers who already have high ratings in the game. So for example, Can I use Nonito Donaire who already has a set high rating in the game against a CAB? The reason I am asking because on last years game, everyone's rating was the same online whether you were using a CAB or a real boxer.

3) If I am a huge boxing fan who also likes games, should I get this game. I am very stingy with my money since I am a cheap Italian lol. I will not spend any money to gain XP for online so would this game be worth the 65$ for the game? I would though spend a lot of time working on my boxer thought to gain XP. This doesnt bother me because I hate losing and will want to compete with all of the XP buyers and good boxers who put in their time to gain XP.

Thanks for listening to my concerns!

1) From what I've heard, button punchers are at a slight disadvantage now as in the demo it seemed there was a little more latency with pressing buttons to throw punches as opposed to the stick. Button punchers also cannot throw any of the new punches (flaired straight, overhand, hookercut). I doubt they will be a problem this time around.

2) I'm pretty sure it's CAB only for OWC, def CAB only for Online Gyms. Everyone's ratings are not the same this year, as you need to gain XP to level up your stats.

3) If you plan on putting time into the game, leveling up your boxer will be rewarding. There will be a bunch of people who pay for their stats, but you can avoid them when you are just starting out. OWC is always gonna be cheeser heaven, because everyone wants to be recognized as the best, that's where the beauty of Online Gyms come in. You can join a league (OS has both a 360 and PS3 gym starting up), play amongst people you can trust that won't fight like douches and gain XP at the same time.

FNC from what I've played today and via the demo is impressive, your stingy *** needs to spend some money!

Haha thanks a lot man for the quick response! I will most likely get the game tomorrow morning and hopefully can join an online gym through OS. Look forward to box against guys on here with high boxing IQs and know the game.
