    Re: OWC is perfect example how Micro-transactions is ruining gaming!

    One good thing is in my first OWC fight I was matched up to a fighter with my skill level. I was a 79 and he a 78. I won by UC, 7 rounds to 3.

    The odd thing is I got stunned about five times without going down. I was able to push and run or the round ended. The punch stats were crazy. We both landed over 400 punches, but I threw over 600 and had 100% stamina at the end, probably because I landed 75% of my punches. He landed 46% and the sad part is I am almost pround of that with the insane connect rates online.

      One thing about FNC is you can make guys miss without a head move our block. Just time an advance or retreat sand you get them watering punches left our right.There ia just not a big enough stamina loss for missed punches

        I'm sorry man. Theres no way i'm going to buy this game now. Just for the principle of it.

        If it had the Legacy mode that we wanted. or at least an improved Legacy mode. Then that would of been enough to warrant a purchase.

        But.
        - Crappy Legacy mode

        - Sliders that do not work

        -flawed default gameplay

        - money hungry online modes

        I look forward to boxing games more than any other, but **** that. I'll just play the FNC demo to get my boxing fix.

          Just buy FNC used and don't purchase an online pass. EA gets nothing from you than.

              It is a HUGE let down Vast, and such poor design decisions. This is one time I can honestly say greed from this micro-transactions has literally effected the "fun factor" of a game. This marks a bad spot for online gaming and we can only hope this is not a trend we see in the future.

                Believe me this is just the beginning. Greed is gonna kill gaming just as it did the first era of gaming. The only thing that might keep it alive is the young and the dumb. They make think getting nickeled and dimed is normal.

                Look at the manual in the box. I remember games nowhere near as complex as these having manuals like encyclopedias.

                  If you ask me, politics and greed have just about already done it.

                  However, I think it's too early to say OWC is ruined. Maybe that's because I have a winning record..lol But seriously, while I disagree with the philosophy, this mode has potential to switch for the better over time. The more people fight, the more XP they get. They then can decide where to put it. These overbearing hard hitters can not get past a balanced out boxer who has good blocking and jab skills. What I do see happening is people resorting to body jabs. I think that'll be the next exploit. But still, you can not just favor one skill. you will pay for it someplace else. that's where I think they fixed it. But again, two steps back with the XP purchases.

                    I really wish I recorded my fights last night just to show you guys how I literally destroyed. Not just beat him barely, I was literally ahead HUNDREDS of landed punches and 70+% connect while maintaining them in LOW 20% and all it takes is one punch that lands.

                    There was nothing more I could of done as far as out boxing, moving, side stepping with counters, making them miss for rounds and rounds, etc etc. I literally fought these guys perfect and still one cheap shot and you lose because of a cheap exploit. If I fought sloppy or I felt I did not execute my gameplan correctly then I would not be complaining how I am. But it was all executed soooo perfectly.

                    If I recorded it, the video would speak for itself.

                      I know what you mean. Twice I was midway through the fight, huge percentages and got knocked out because of this. I'm not saying it's not there. It is not a major exploit though. it's something that can be beaten rather easily.

                        LOL I disagree my 79 overall fight does not stand a remote chance. I lost every single one and by the same fashion. 1 Punch KO by the same hand being thrown 400 times while I destroy them picking them a part. I can't prevent getting hit entirely and at some point one of those hits KO's me.

                          I agree the OWC is garbage...thats why i only fight in ranked matches with the regular boxers....anytime u allow the purchasing of upgrades, the gaming goes down the dumper....

                            I know for certain it's gaffed. I fought a guy Tuesday where he gave up and just let me pound him. I stood there pounding on his face with lefts and rights and he did not fall. It's like your punches have zero value. So fast forward to last night, where I gave my guy some umph in right hook and I can stun people with my punches. So now put into perspective a guy who pours his points into his right hook then spams. All you have to do is up your chin and give yourself a good hook punch (right or left). Since I did this I can easily beat these guys. In that video I posted that was the second knock down in the first round. He quit. Once you get your guy to 80/81 you will see a difference. It's actually fun figuring out where to put the points.

                              This is why I never play sports games online anymore because it is always flawed where you really cannot get any enjoyment after a week. It's next to impossible to make almost any video game where online with strangers will be enjoyable for an extended time. There's just too many variables.

                              When I see previews for games and they talk about all these "new online features" I don't even read it because it's gonna be broken one way or the other. Saves me a hell of alot of frustration that's for sure.

                                Will my preorder xp pack be gone if I want to remove my lightweight boxer and start a different career? Has anyone done this yet?
