"In a chat a couple weeks back on IGN, Fight Night Round 4 producer Brian Hayes said that remapping the face buttons to throw punches might be "an option via DLC."
His full reply:
There is no option for face button punching in the final version, but we are investigating providing the option via DLC.
Now, no one said specifically that the face-button option would be paid DLC."

I was going to rent it when the local store got it but since I know there's no option I'll wait and I certianly won't pay for a controller option that should've been there to begin with. Of course it'd probably be free as not to mess up online play along with the negative reaction it would cause.
