MW & HW are FLAWED

[steelernut]

Yo I've been playn online and I got to say that the MW and HW are completely flawed. It seems that EA wants to create a slugfest in those divisions, and not sim like boxing, if I'm wrong please someone tell me. I've never been a runner but I do practice sticking and moving ( I fight for real so u guys know what I mean). I feel in these divisions that they harshly penalize you for moving just the slightest in rounds. I don't mind losing but if I'm losing to fighters who are throwing punches in the air, and I'm capitalizing on their mistakes then I'm confused on how I'm how I'm getting gassed severely in the latter rounds?? I feel like EA has directed this game to the popular vote, especially in the HW and MW div. . The light weight DIV seems like the only DIV that is realistic. If I'm wrong once again please correct me.

Re: MW & HW are FLAWED

I didn't think it was flawed before that last update , but it is definetly flawed now. I have lost 6 out of 9 fights since the newest update , and I fight smart just as you do. In the fights that I lost I ended up getting knocked out in all but 2 of em. Whatever they did to the stamina is what is responsible for this. It is like they are rewarding the the dudes that come in and throw nothing but power punches , but penalizing smart fighters by making their stamina drop faster than the power puncher. It has completely ruined this game for me. It will now be helping me get NCAA Football when it comes out. Damn shame too man cause I dug this game at before that update.

ive been able to carry 90+% stamina into the late rounds. cut down on your stepping, weaving, and leaning

Feel your pain Brah. I've thought about it too (trading it in) but I do like this game and I seen the stamina issue as a challenge so i went through a rough patch (loss 5 in row) in the beginning. I feel I got the stamina issue down pact and I'm winning allot more, and for the most part lasting 10 rounds & getting more K.0's . but I will say they don't really reward smart/counter fighters in the MW & HW div, in my opinion.

Moving should reduce stamina, but not as much as they do.

Exactly ! I shouldn't be moving around the ring like a zombie by round 5 just because I don't sit there right in front of Tyson for him to hit me easily for the first 4 rounds. Moving should take stamina , but not make me look like I got anvils for feet by round 5. Now being completely spent by round 7 or 8 is fine with me in a 10 round fight.

You "dug a game" with no fatigue factor. I've been beaten my guys with excellent in and out movement, who aren't backing up all day. Circling, judicious use of stepping, and economy of punches are keys to winning now.

For the life of me, I can't understand how anybody preferred this game before the latest tuner set.

I suck, use an "alcohol stamina" Kelly Pavlik, and can usually obtain 70%-80% stamina into round 6. (not always)

I know you aren't throwing 100 punches per round so you must be constantly backing up. Not trying to be a d!ck, just looking for some feedback.
