Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

Re: News from FNC Devs

Not surprising really. It takes Microsoft alone almost what 3 weeks to certify the patch. Then another 4 to 6 weeks of EA working on fixes, that is creatings fix, testing fix, further testing fix ( LOL Yea right), releasing patch to Microsoft & Sony, then weeks later we get it.

Re: News from FNC Devs

I'd rather they get as much as possible fixed before releasing a patch, but some of these things plagued FN4 and were patched there. I don't see how they get back in.

I'm looking forward to tuner updates. I hope those come earlier than two months.

Re: News from FNC Devs

Ugh. Not promising at all for my standpoint. No mention of getting the sliders working. Everything seems geared toward getting the online experience to be better. People are going to find a way to spam and cheat an online system no matter what they do.

Re: News from FNC Devs

I was thinking about selling my copy because of the slider issue. EA is truly the worse game company this planet has ever seen.

Re: News from FNC Devs

but expect it to be sometime in the next couple of months.

There is this thing called "Rent-First" that so few seem to know about.

For some reason EA Sports Games needing "MAJOR" Patches to fix seems to be the norm nowdays.

I feel sorry for folks that dropped $60 thinking things have changed.

I just don't get it; how can you bring out a demo almost a month before release; and still ship a game full of bugs? Then tell the community that it will be a few months before they can get a patch out? Oh; and state that they will work on the tuner sets to tweak "whatever" shortly? They used me as a tester for their demo (collected info for online); and i didn't get paid; and now they are slacking off! There should have been a patch ready on release day with all those problems. Sliders being at the head of the pack. EA had two years to work on this game; and it still shipped with bugs... WOW. I feel like i got sucker PUNCHED! don't you?

cheers EA.

You didn't get paid? Are you serious? I want the game to operate in its fullest potential as any other, but I'm not going to claim EA robbed me of anything or cut me short. We got to play a demo (online) for two weeks. In no way did that represent the full scope of what the game is. It was basic head to head fights. No OWC, no gyms etc. And if you do your history of game demos, we used to have to buy a magazine to get them or maybe count on the local retailer to give them away. Now we get to download them for free and we are complaining about not getting paid. Unreal.

Another thing that is getting silly is the advice to rent first. You can wait a week to purchase the game and read forums here on OS to come to a logical conclusion of the game. Me, I felt I'd enjoy it enough to keep putting a few bucks on it until I paid it off in time for release. And I have no regrets.

That's not to say I don't have issues with some things in the game, but at some point we need to take a step back and hold ourselves accountable first. All these comments like, "I'm not surprised, it's EA...they suck.." tell me some of you should know better. If you can say that, you did the math. You don't like EA. Fine, don't buy the game and be done with it. But for some reason it's as if people are standing in line to gripe.

Not surprisingly, the Red Sox fan is also an EA apologist.

It looks like Dave DQ has what I call "good sense" and is realistic about the world. Everyone has to understand that the days of "complete" videogames being released are over. EA is a leit business and they have dates or deadlines to meet regardless of the end user. People are pushing this product out to save their jobs an dI may have problems with it but I understand their goal and I can choose to support them or not (why I stopped buying NBA Live).

That being said, 5 years ago we did not have patches, we took what they gave us and made the best out of it. For instance, Knockout Kings 2002 was a horrible game but I still played it and there was no patch, Coach K had a fadeaway glitch but I still played it and there was no patch. I made my choice and I lived with it.

do I like having patches...no, I don't but I understand that it is a game and I use it as a tool to have some fun and alleviate stress.

I think the point of frustration is that evry single EA title I played over the last year...Madden, NCAA, FNC has been on the verge of greatness, but instead remain mediocre because of a few flaws.

These flaws seem very correctable like working sliders,stamina, and AI punch output for FNC, but the odds of EA delivering are slim to none. Its frustrating, but they are the only game in town so you have to pick your poison.

**SHAKYR** · 03-10-2011, 10:47 AM

I'm glad I didn't get the game yet. Their are people waiting on my feedback and review but from me watching various forums I'm really upset and thinking about not getting it until it's patched.

**jjsmitty34** · 03-10-2011, 10:48 AM

Hmmm, you'd think with the 2 year developement cycle they would have the small things worked out.

Oh well, we are going to get a good boxing game one of these days or months..

Re: Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

I'm almost surprised this is an issue after 2 years of development.
