    Fight Night Champion - New Tuner Set Details, No More Patches, Future DLC Unlikely


    The Fight Night Champion developer team has posted some details on a new tuner set. They also mention there are no patches scheduled and future DLC is very unlikely.

    The Dev Team is currently working on another Tuner Set with the goal of primarily addressing the following issues:

    1. Lack of damage (cuts, swelling, etc)
    2. CPU boxer stamina in offline matches
    3. Judges scoring logic
    4. Block effectiveness

    For those who have been asking, future DLC is highly unlikely in terms of new boxers, venues, modes, etc.

    In addition, no further patches are planned at this time.

    I'm glad that they trying to fix these problems, but they are missing the cab cut/swelling glitch in career mode

        doesn't the cab cut/swelling (lack thereof) exist in offline matches too? just wondering because i downloaded some online created boxers and i'm pulling out my hair because i can't seem to find a setting that makes them have cuts / swelling when appropriate. i play only offline.

          My game stutters a lot in offline matches. It happened after the last patch. I hope it gets fixed somehow after this. Not likely though. Might have to put this up on the trading block. F@cking EA.

            I've already traded this game back in, it only lasted 2 weeks and countless hours trying to work around EA's incompetence, but no, it's impossible given that we're at their mercy of the tuner settings and lack of effective user fine tuning and lack there of...

            It's pathetic. But that's been their MO so...carry on

              I have a feeling the FN devs get split up to work on other projects during the 1-year-layoff that FN is scheduled for.

              That's why I doubt we see any updates after this one.

                So they are finally fixing something thats been broken since the VERY FIRST PATCH? Too late, game traded in.

                  So, one last try with offline since it seems they are addressing the things that were either broken originally or became broken when they fixed online play. I haven't picked up Fight Night in 2 months. I've been enjoying GT5. I'll give it another try when the tuner drops and we'll see if offline is worth it without massive amounts of slider work. *fingers crossed* Otherwise, it's wait for the next version, which sadly will probably be my last if it is mangled as this effort was.

                  I had extremely high hopes when KOK morphed into Fight Night. They were on the right track, but it seems that the track was a lot longer than anyone expected. It's been 7 years since they brought KOK into the 21st century and started really making it more simulation than button mashing fighter. I thought by now it would have been more mature. Perhaps this is owing to the changing development teams and their different visions for what this game should be. Perhaps it is the limitation of programming or the hardware (This is something I know little about and I can't speak to when it comes to how much this hampers delivering a realistic boxing environment and fighters that behave realistically within that environment.) Or, perhaps there just isn't enough interest in the kind of game I am looking for despite what seems to be the case with the posts we see here on OS. Maybe OS has become an echo chamber for a very specific type of fight fan that sees FN as something different than the general buying public is willing to fork over cash for. I hope for our sakes that is not the case or that different versions of the game can be produced to satisfy the differing camps. Time will tell, I suppose.

                    Oh well why am I surprised, so offline on PS3 is still broken. So no Legacy mode patch? Does anyone know if FNR 4 is a good game and if so does it work offline with the CAB's?

                      I feel you bro, but trading it in didn't hurt them. it hurt you. ea, and whomever you traded it in to benefited. Our voices can only be FELT, by not buying initially.

                        I can understand them not making anymore patches....After so many it just becomes a waste of time if it's not really fixing the game...I use to be big on IGN and was there from the first fight night game and I must say it's been a big let down....I've wasted countless hours typing up stuff trying to help make the game better and true to the fans but I think I have came to the end of my rope with Fight Night.

                          It's not a decision on their behalf. EA never does more than 2 for a game.

                            They did 3 with Madden 11...God knows they needed to too.

                              I must be mistaken then. However, it's my understanding patches cost money for the developer. For a lower selling title like FNC, I don't see it happening. Not to mention they said themselves.
