Whenever I stunned him badly he would either clinch or run away but seemed to recover too quickly. My biggest gripe however is that you cannot stick and move. It's almost like the opponent is magnetized too you. This leads to slugging it out much too often. The videos online made it seem like the guys didn't know how to fight but it's very difficult to stick and move. When I was Manny I had alot of trouble getting away from Hatton because he was aggressive. This could be a big problem online. All I see is slugfests. It also led to me throwing around 350-400 punches per fight and connecting on over 60% almost every time. With that and the speed there really is no strategy involved. It seems like the game is catered to guys who want to fight like Tyson and not Ali. There's no balance. If you don't fight like Tyson you're at a disadvantage. The game only felt comfortable if you are flat footed, bobbing about and tryint to counter. And like I said the camera angle is no help in trying to fight from the outside. I'm actually pretty dissapointed. The only thing that will save it for me now is slowing it down and changing the camera angle. Unfortunately online you may not have those options.

ya i agree with the camera....it is very dizzying, but i'm sure offline will be fine. If we can't adjust it online it will be a problem.

Thing with stick and move...I can do it no problem, but in the demo you don't really need to as the cpu poses little threat to do damage to you. Also, with a static camera, we can do this better I think. Right now you lose your direction way too often due to the movving of the camera.

We will only stick and move if we FEAR the cpu, and hopefully the higher Diff. levels will provide that experience.
