Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

Just noticed somethin' weird...I decided to drop down to amateur, to do some testing w/ cpu sliders maxed offense & defense that is...anyway, there was ALOT of swelling & small razor like cuts. bumped it back up to Pro...& my fights had NASTY gashes & swelling & bruising...just...wow

I did this also (PS3)...dropped from Champion to Amateur...started a fight, then quit it...went back to champion...and have been seeing good amounts of damage every fight now...(i have damage maxed out). Havent tried at default level again.

Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

I really think the game plays fairly well right now. The overall factor for me is that the power straight is far too powerful and stuns too easily. I fought a guy last night that would use it as his main punch and while he got tired, it was too easy for him to stun me and then go for the knockdown. If they can lower that punches impact we'd see a more balanced game.

After several more online matches I agree that the game is actually enjoyable. It's usually fairly easy for me to stay away from the power right, but one guy beat me with it, firing it almost exclusively.

I cant get any damage at all. I have it maxed to 10 and not so much as a scratch or cut. Also, my CABs always reset to 99 cuts and 99 swelling...no matter how many times I change that rating. Very frustrating.

Delete the 1.01 patch...problem solved.

Re: Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

The problem with one punch KO's is that they don't happen very often at the elite level, so putting them back in wouldn't be extremely realistic. When does Cotto, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Mosley, Manny, RJJ, Oscar, Tyson, Ali, etc have their lights turned out by one punch?

On top of that the game doesn't have enough decisions as is, when today that's the way most fights are going when featuring two top level fighters.

If we want a sim, then more emphasis needs to be placed on patience and wearing a guy down by out boxing them. One punch KO's is just stuff for the highlight reel, and doesn't do much to make a complete boxing sim.

Im going agree with this on real world terms about the 1pko... however im not so sure about some of these fellas whom i'll lose to .. only to see that my stats outshine theirs... most of these exploiters dont really care about defense but they if they pick the heavier handed fighter you're the one who will have to duck in weave or face the inevitable...

most people online reaches for the big punchers.. me, im very random on who i pick.. i like the game for the many styles it has which is pretty impressive in my opinion.... so when i beat these bruts with a haye, a agustus or a dibs or whatever have you it feesl real rewarding.... why? its because they now have figuire how to box me .. if they cant then i usually end up being the victor.. but its not easy especially against a tyson,a Robinson, or a Pernell which are the favorite picks in those classes.

the addition of the 1pko i believe was to stop people from carelessly hitting buttons away... at this point the straights are the new exploits. hopefully it does come back and hopefully its in its right perspective.

Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

One more thing ... most 1pko's that ive seen has happened because of

unexpected punches

careless defense

charging the opponent running into big punches and

just sticking your chin out at the wrong time ....

these all have happened in real life to RJJ, Judah and Lewis... and in the game i saw similar scenarios take place.... what ever needs to be fixed should be done ... but punches need to be respected in this game whether you're a Big puncher or a "big" puncher....

Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

Enjoyed and lost my first online fight. Had a lot of bad habits and tendencies from CPU only play the last two weeks. Relentless didnt live up to his name...but he took it easy and still beat me pretty easily. Give me a cpl weeks, I should be good. As with any game, my expectations are limited to FUN online...other users and there methods won't deter me from enjoying my game online. It happens in all games, just go to live with it.

Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

Yeah, I'm really liking online right now. The jab is still effective, but a lot less "spammable".

Re: Fight Night Champion Tuner Set #2 : Impressions

Just playing offline at the moment, not sure how I feel about the tuner yet.

I am really upset about the patch not coming out until mid June. I can't wait that long to play this online. I am playing sporadically online against people I know because of freezes and disconnects. I love boxing and love this game, but I am really regretting not getting MLB the Show 11 at the moment instead of this. It's not just the fact that this game was released with many of the same issues as FNR4, but also because of the slow rate of of correction. Exploits are being dealt with, I can be patient on that, but console killing gameplay is something I can't tolerate. My birthday is coming up in a couple months, I'll just get MLB then and hopefully by the FNC will have it's second patch.

I do like the fact the CPU is more dangerous now, I will say that.
