I assume, but it is EA, that the sliders dlc will be fatigue based.

Disappointed that there isn't any info on more DLC fighters.

Apparently the new sliders are punch accuracy, counter punch window and boxer stamina according to pastapadre

Just tweak the online stamina and I'll be a satisfied customer.

Wow, so I guess all the crying and moaning all the kiddies did worked. I better start playing online more now, before all the little kids with ADHD start mashing those buttons.

Now, all we need is a online lobby.

People spam punches now. Adding buttons isn't going to change that.

Just got this game tonight, so hopefully I'll be on Live with it soon. Hope when this patch drops they sort the lobbies to allow for stick only (or make it the default for ranked). Everyone should be on the same page.

I'm guessing they've considered this before deciding to add buttons.

Then again, it is EA.

Good news, though disappointing that there's no news of new boxers. I wonder if they will ever release new licensed boxers for this game. Seems like it might be difficult to sign a new fighter to be released as an add-on, and the boxershare features a pretty good library of fighters that stack up pretty well with some of the licensed ones.

As to the new botton controls, I'll assume you can't use them online. It would suck if online gets filled with button mashers. There is a big difference between mashing a stick and buttons - for hooks and uppercuts, it's hard to throw the same punch over and over again quickly wth the stick. With buttons you just press the button that corresponds to the hook or uppercut and no problem. Makes it too easy to throw punches, when in reality it's hard to throw back to back hooks with that speed. The buttons must be banned from online!

Na, just have separate rooms for button users online. End of story. It's only been recommended 24,159,697,978 times.

I'm happy about the sliders, but they won't have an effect online. Factor in the buttons for punches and online will simply be a mess. They have to fix the stamina via a patch.

Question, if I'm controlling a world class boxer why shouldn't it be easy to throw a punch.

Button/Stick-mashers shouldn't be a problem as long as they address the real issue for online fights-STAMINA.
