Re: People attacked me when i didnt agree with "moving while punching" in Fight Night

This is SO typical EA bullcrap. In every one of their sports games they'll think up some stupid gimmic and then overuse the crap out of it.
In real life if any boxer stalked their opponent with their arm cocked they'd get beat down. The fact that you can only interrupt a haybmaker with another haymaker or parry is completely unrealistic. Why does EA have to do this with all their games? I can see this being a HUGE online problem and thousands of people are going to complain about it. And then when OS does an interview for FN Rd3 Kudo will say "Last years haymaker feature was flawed. We've fixed it. But this year, check out our all new "Lightning Jab" feature! You can now throw 1500 jabs in a second and the only way to avoid it is to do a sweep kick! It's gonna be awesome!"

I'm done with EA. They've destroyed every sports game they've ever created with all their dumb "features" and "innovations" (with the exception of Madden, who only improved their game because of the 2K series).
Here's an idea. Why don't you make a game that realistically represents the sport? Now there's a concept.

My only hope is that Sega makes a boxing game or VB3 gets created and published in the US.

OMFG The world is over, the sky is falling!!!

So much for actually playing a game before actually making a judgement call on it. Way to go.

As opposed to what? Not playing the game and gizzing over it like some people here?
It's true that I haven't played it, but I go to other boards where people who I turst have and many of them are saying that the haymaker is going to kill this game. And EA's track record of throwing gimmics that don't work into a game instead of ironing out problems is a mile long.
I'll give it a rent but I highly doubt this will surpass VB or VB2 in terms of gameplay and especially career mode.
FN2004 was pretty good but it paled in comparison to the VB series.

Well, i've played it (the demo), and have been for some time now. Mark my words: 4 weeks after release, there'll be threads about how the haymaker was a good idea but a guy throwing a haymaker shouldn't be invincible. There's no real incentive not to just **** your arm back and dance around the ring like an idiot waiting to throw one. i.e. the haymaker is another EA BS-and-poorly-executed gimmick that's going to kill this game.

The ONLY thing that will stop this from being the case is the AI - by which i am not terribly impressed.

Honestly, i wonder whether those EA studios feel like they have to go to the execs with some gimmick in order to get them to put money into the development of that studio's game. Almost every EA game has some garbage new gimmick - sometimes they work, but most of the time they don't. I suspect that FN Rd 2 is one of those times where the gimmick only looks good on paper. We'll see when the final version is released.

Wow, Ive never seen this many worked up over a DEMO. I'm sure there will be changes by the time the game is released. Who even knows at what point in development this was pressed.. stay calm people ..

the fact that you think FN2004 "paled" in comparison to the vb series discredits you severely...FN2004 was easily better than the vb series as far as main gampley...VB2 ofcourse was deeper in the career mode...but thats where the buck stops.

I havent played the demo yet but i just hope that fights last longer this year round. Last years game had WAY TOOO many knockouts. I want to fight the computer or another human (i never played online) and have a fight last long without 1-2 knockouts in every round. When doing career modes, i have had maybe 5 decisions TOTAL. That is out of about 200 fights. I just want this game to be harder in general. I want to lose at times and feel like i really tried but just couldnt get it done. I won every fight last year. Is the demo any harder than last years? if not i hope the final product is.

Did you even play VB or VB2. The fact that you could slide in with the jab. Block and move at the same time, better results when you countered. Could you do any of that with FN2004? No.
There were multiple styles of fighters you faced. Again, in FN2004 there were 2.
In VB2, each punch had different power. In 2004, every shot was the same.

Fight Night 2004 was a step in the right direction but it's still nowhere near the depth VB displayed.

And like Bubbachuck mentioned I had fights in 2004 that had over 25 knockdowns in them. Is that even close to realistic? Absolutely not.
