FN Champions Patch Impressions

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

I'm very close to putting this game down till they fix it, also. Post patch/tuner, it's like they took one step forward and two steps back. The changes were supposed to make the game more sim, but it has empowered the cheesers.

I agree, I don't have have alot of stick skills, but I am still 59-25 so I'm still winning at a 2-1 clip. But my victories are all the same, fight very judiciously until the 8th when my opponent is tired and go for the KO. My losses tend to be the same too. A cheeser who has it down beats me every time. I've noticed that short boxers are the new flavored cheese of the week. They get underneath your arms and they get a magic halo of protection over them. Then they tap your thigh to victory. This is anything but boxing.

And then I run into a few guys who know how to box and know what to do, and they usually get the better of me.

The game was better pre-patch for me. There were alot of different styled fighters. And everyone had to be careful with a 1 punch KO a possibility.

Pre-patch I was 15-4 with 1 loss coming by 1 punch KO and I was an 83 rated boxer usually going up against 90 rated guys. We seemed to mix it up more with a wider variety of punches.

I miss 1pko's, but not so much I want to go back to what it was with the grazing rabbit shots that should have been misses that ended up being 1pko's.

Honestly I just want the damage fixed. I'm one of those people that likes "the little things", and this is a huge one. 1pko is rare like it should be, that said I would like them to raise its chance by about 1-2% And I want my damage to be back so I don't have to play on 8 power 10 toughness to get any kind of damage. 8 power 10 toughness would be fine if all my fights didn't end in KO under that setting.

Its still always a race to 4 knockdowns. Sometimes you can get the AI out in less, but I ALWAYS am able to get up 4 times. Its horrible.

I don't mind if they make the put you to sleep 1 punch KO's pretty rare, but getting counted out on the 1st or second knock down should be a much much more prevalent.

The lack of fight ending punches in addition with the damage being toned down are my 2 biggest concerns along with the imported boxer freeze.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

So i guess were all in agreement about the online button spammers eh? just let them punch themselves out and go for the knockout in the later rds......

Still the problem i have with that is because of the busy button punching, most of these spammers are usually up on the cards early.. you still cant box but you can KO em in the end..... its a decent trade ... but i want to box! kudos to those who fight the way its meant to be...

The guy that spams the jab is an interesting make. I fought one last night and he would let the clock in between rounds run to zero. At the start of every round he would just stand there. If I would approach he'd start moving around. He ran around and spammed the jab. So you kind of see the foolishness of these guys. They are busting balls and know they are getting on people's nerves. Unfortunately, I couldn't get him broken down to where I knocked him out and he won via a decision. I am learning to move on. The problem is so many are doing it now. My next fight the guy did the same thing and I knocked him out.

I still enjoy OWC because when I play my style and be patient I most often win. I think this time through I'm going to let my middleweight stay and not reset his record. I'm currently about 13-3.

You can beat these guys, but it feels more like work than fun. The body spammers/runners are really only trying to win by decision, so they have 30 minutes invested in each match, I am not sure what they are getting out of that time investment, win or lose.

I know it...that is so true. I was thinking that last night. The guy was letting the clock drain to zero every round too, making the fight go as long as possible. I just don't know what gratification that brings...lol...crazy.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

Hey guys I just had a quick question or two for you.

I was finally able to download the patch and just now got settled in and started to play. The punch offsetting, stamina, accuracy, and especially the perfect block being eliminated sounded incredible. The game seems to play better, but I'm still seeing the perfect block and subsequent freeze/counter punch window. I downloaded the patch, but not the tuner because I had read it messed up everything for a lot of people so I figured I'd wait.

Anyone have any idea why I'd still be stuck with the perfect block? The only two things I can think of is that it's the tuner set and not the patch that eliminates the perfect block, or my patch didn't install for some reason (though I watched it the whole time and it claimed to be successful). Is there any way to check what version of the game you're running and/or how to tell the patch is active? Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Download the tuner.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

Fair enough, thank you. Much appreciated. I've seen you post a bunch and you and I seem to agree on a lot of things. Is the tuner as bad as everyone says it is? I'll find out momentarily as is, but I just want your opinion on it.

Re: FN Champions Patch Impressions

Wow, Just had a match De La Hoya(me)vs S R L...& i knocked Leonard down in the the second w/ a D L H sig left hook..went in for the kill after he got up, but saved by the bell.

Alot more exiting isn't it? You can decrease their frequency by increasing the toughness slider or decreasing the power slider. I really hope they bring them back.
