Gripes You Have About Fight Night 4 (Don't Mention Lack of Buttons)

[Po Pimp]

I know the game isn't out yet, and there are things that are going to be tweaked, but what are some of the things you've noticed in the demo that annoy you and most likely won't be fixed?

Knock Downs - Ref actually counts to 10, but since the fighter rises to his feet at the last second, the fight continues.

Tale of the Tape - Would add so much to the presentation...no reason it shouldn't be in the game

Add on

Potentially (since I havent played full version).

- too many punches
- presentation (decisions, ring intros not being drawn out)
- no info on Legacy Mode (c'mon already!)
- the delayed response when throwing punches. I can throw jab, jab, hook, haymaker, and it seems the game is about .5 secnod to a full second behind me
- I cant effing get up when i get knocked down. Tough mini game

^^^ its tons of info on legacy mode, you just have to dig also EA just didnt do a blog about it and release the info officially but do any game speak on these modes really???

Pimp, maybe with the ref awr slider jacked up(speaking about offline) the ref wont be so forgiving???

My gripes are

the presentation
Lack of feints
Lack of footwork
Also the ability to move your head and feet simultanously but that hasnt been done in a fighting game yet(atleast the many ive played)

Despite those gripes, I loved FNR2(didnt play 3) which basically had the same problems....

I think raising the speed in sliders will give me that FNR2 feel again but I also can lower the stamina so it wouldnt be so fast, punch output will delete the slug fest that I hated in FNR2...Power, toughness and damage is something im goin to have to figure out to counter my low stamina rate but at the same time I want the punches to have a uuuff and take damage unlike the demo...man I cant wait for the 25th!!!! Not to mention we will have a steller legacy mode

Oh yea and buttons!!!

Lack of buttons.

I think this can be fixed with sliders, though I'm not excusing it.
- presentation (decisions, ring intros not being drawn out)
Yeah, the decisions plain suck! I think ring intros are more drawn out judging from what I saw in the CAB footage.
- no info on Legacy Mode (c'mon already!)
- the delayed response when throwing punches. I can throw jab, jab, hook, haymaker, and it seems the game is about .5 secnod to a full second behind me

I dunno, I can get up with no problem. In fact, my 14 year old cousin was able to get up the first time he got knocked down without ever doing the tutorial or me telling him what to do.

I think the ref awareness slider only refers to if they notice illegal blows.

Right now I'm practicing bobbing and weaving trying not to use the block button at all. Coming along pretty well, but not the majority of the time.

With that being said, the only gripe I have so far, is that it seems like jabs are magnetized to your face, lol. Doesn't seem as open as round 3 when dodging away from a punch.

Now, I am fully aware that punches now track you (unlike Rnd3), so that you cant sit in the lean position and not get hit (great addition by the way), but.......(follow me precisely here folks), but........once a punch is thrown, there is NO way it should follow my weave movement. The jabs are currently doing just that. Following my boxers head AFTER the punch has been thrown. Thats just not possible.

I'm hoping that this is just in the demo. You have to have extreme attention to detail to notice this ****, but believe me, its there. Theres like a millisecond delay(on the weave side of things), or a millisecond too fast(on the jab side) in there somewhere and I'm being hit by jabs that In all actuality I've already dodged.

I just hope there will be an auto "get up from knockdown" option.

Re: Gripes You Have About Fight Night 4 (Don't Mention Lack of Buttons)

Hmmmm...

- Lack of weight management in Legacy mode. This is the one thing the BR games will still have over the FN series. Giving your fighter a proper diet is a game within itself.

- ESPN license is still being underutilized.

- Don't really care for the new get-up game. It's cool, but the old one was perfectly fine, and I think it gave a better indication of how hurt your fighter is.

- There's some other career mode stuff that I have gripes about, but I'm holding judgement until the final version drops.

- The way EA's PR has handled this game.

Re: Gripes You Have About Fight Night 4 (Don't Mention Lack of Buttons)

I have one main gripe besides the lack of "control options"....

Punches do not have appropriate damage attribute.

EVERYONE's most powerful punch in the game will be a hook/uppercut. This is so WRONG and I am surprised no one has caught it.

What's Manny Pacquaio's and Lennox Lewis' go to and deadliest punch? Their crosses right?

But in fight night, there is no haymaker for the cross, so EVERY fighter's hardest punch will be their haymaker hook/uppercut.

For a Tyson, this fits well, but for the boxers whose best punch is the cross? not so good and very unrealistic.....If this isn't fixed for retail version, I just can't see myself purchasing the game. Oh and also due to the lack of a "control option".

There is a difference in "best" punch and "most powerful" punch.

It's not coming out soon enough...

Re: Gripes You Have About Fight Night 4 (Don't Mention Lack of Buttons)

yes true, Ali's best punch was his jab , most powerful were his his crosses or maybe hooks.]

Pacquiao's best punch AND most powerful punch is his left cross.

his power in the cross is not represented at all in the demo.

sometimes a person's best punch is also his most powerful.

my main issue is that everyone's most powerful punch are hooks/uppercuts in this game? is that true in real life? no way

I'm sure you agree with me on this.

ive been pretty quiet about the button debate, but with all the whining, im glad its not in....its really a matter of not trying if this simplistic form of TCP is not working for you.

some people just aren't as good with the stix, thats all. my gripes are the same as many here have mentioned.

general lack of sim elements.
little to no emphasis on footwork.
lack of head movement/feinting.
haymakers. never liked em'.
bulky/boxy boxer builds. (hearns was sooooo skinny!)
special punches look to be carried over from previous and don't apply to specific boxer.
