You make it sound like the TCP is broken when others clearly know how to use the TCP. If others have learned to use the TCP, my guess is that with some practice you'll be just fine. This is the direction EA has taken FN4 so you either get on board, learn the sticks, and enjoy a heck of a boxing game or don't buy it. It's not like EA is going to change the game 6 weeks away from launch because some guys don't have the patience to learn the sticks.
Well I actually CAN use the TPC better than most but that doesn't mean EA should take away my CHOICE to play how I want to play. I'm actually quite good with the TPC, the problem is the TPC lol. So you're going to sit there and lie to yourself and say that TPC in the demo isn't broken? How bout the fact that its easy to mistakenly throw punches that you didn't want to throw. Like Money said, the proper way to do it would be 3 and 9 o'clock are hooks to the head, and L + 3/9 o'clock be body shots. But that isn't what the case is and it makes it very difficult to throw the shots you mean to throw. But your notion that somehow I don't want to change and I'm not good at it is wrong. I actually can play w/ these faulty controls but its too difficult. It's like when you're a kid and you have no basketball but you're dying to play, so you use a dodge rubber ball. Yeah you still can make shots b/c you're good at bball but do you really want to play w/ that ball?

The reality is it isn't SOME guys who are complaining, it's the MAJORITY of FN fans. I'm not just talking on message boards like OS or EA, but the people who have played with me in my neighborhood hate the change and refuse to play the game b/c of it. Rule #1 in game industry, never take away options that were previously available to gamers. Madden learned this a while ago, so why is Fight Night following in this path?
