FN Champions Patch Impressions

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

I like the patch.....I went online tonight and went 6-0 with 2 KO's and I was fighting some guys at 90 and 91 with my 84 rated Cooney.

I definitely saw the stamina take hold. I fought some giant ripped guy that dropped within 30 seconds of the first round. He won the second round too but I kept working the jab and won the next 5 rounds. By the eight he was huffing and puffing and I dropped him in the 8th, I dropped him again in the 10th for good measure, he couldn't even move. I could have probably finished him, but why risk it.

I only got knocked down twice in the 6 fights, one guy I dropped 5 times in 3 rounds before he couldn't continue.

I can honestly say, it rewards true boxing. I am keeping my opponents btween 30 & 40% connect rates. I beat 1 guy in a 10 round white wash with no Knockdowns, but I won every round.

The toughest fight was against this little Fat David Tua guy, I'm 6'6" Gerry Cooney with an 81" reach, he got inside and was dominating me, he knew what he was doing, but I KO'd him in the 9th after dropping him twice before, but he knew how to get under my jab and pound the body, but when I was able to step back, I was really hurting him.

I'm 17-4-0 with 13 KO's now. There will definitely be alot more decsisions for the taking here. The must have really toned down the 1 punch KO's.

How do you get Cowboys stadium. I didn't see it in play now.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

Definitely seeingh the lower connect rates since the patch, fought a play now Cotto vs. Paq, he destroyed me on Goat, but the connect % were 33% to 36% through 6 rounds with about 72 puinches per round each. I may have to adjust the sliders a bit because I have power at 7 and he was rocking me right and left.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

I was fighting this guy last night who was taller and had longer reach than me. I'd get inside and try to throw hooks to the body or block his shots and throw hooks to the body and it was like my hooks would go right past his stomach. This has happened before to me and I have no idea why it happens? Is there some special body type (height/weight/reach) that makes it so certain opponents can't hit your stomach? It was pissing me off because he'd just sit there throwing body hooks and I'd try the same and instead I'd just get countered or he'd back away.

Anyone know why/how this happens?

Don't try the same. The accuracy does not keep up with excessive use of combinations, and it shouldn't. You should be really working to get in combinations. If these guys are throwing multiple hooks, move, sway and step. It does wonders.

I couldn't sway and step, he was body hooking me, only way out was to back up and he had a huge reach advantage. The way I see it I should have been able to pepper him with body hooks rather than vice versa because I was smaller than him and less reach. As it was, I was standing right next to him, he'd throw two body hooks which I would hold block on and try to quickly counter. My body hooks would miss his body and he'd be able to counter me with a body hook without moving. It's happened before, not too often, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to compete against that. Especially when I try to queue a sidestep or do a sidestep and instead I bob and weave or move towards him. So annoying

I don't have an issue with people that throw hooks a lot. And I'm not trying to be condescending or anything. I'm usually average in the Fight Night series. For whatever reason, my win percentage in OWC has gone up substantially. The stepping is the best maneuver to get out of a guy throwing multiple hooks. I don't know how you are going to "pepper" with hooks either. You have to set your combinations up. Go for two at the most and drop back and go at it again. You can not go in there expecting to drop 4 punch combinations on the fly.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

In offline play, they may have to change the damage system because with the lower connect%, I am not sure you will see a stoppage from cuts even with the slider cranked all the way up.

I had a 12th round stoppage last night. Ali vs Frazier. I must admit however, that I do not really see the lower connect % either, but I def downloaded the patch. I was using sliders very similar to yours actually.

I was trying to land one, MAX two in a row. For whatever reason when I threw the hook, in range, it was not hitting him. He was not swaying, moving, stepping, backing up, nothing. He was standing there and for whatever reason my body hooks could not hit him but his could hit me. I would try throwing them first, he'd perfect block. I'd try blocking him and countering, I wouldn't hit. I'd try throwing a left and a right to punch offset him, and it wouldn't work. This has happened to me probably twice out of all of my fights. I have no idea why it happens or how it happens but it is impossible to win with. I'm not bad either, I'm probably about 82-9 in LW OWC.

I don't know how to explain what was happening and I wish I had video to show you.

I've stopped Tyson and Jesse James on cuts and swelling. I have it too high with power at 8.

Yes. I'll get a one second freeze while in a fight. How do you clear the cache with a ps3 slim?
