    Re: Patch is up

    My impressions after 15+ matches offline A.I., Online Multiplayer against players who actually watch the sport and have an understanding of the sweet science. Also against players who do not watch the sport, but love fightin' games
    Game Play Updates

    - Adjusted the locomotion speed at close proximity so that your opponent can no longer trap you with glued feet This adjustment has done wonders playing online/offline multiplayer. Plant pop-pop-pop, step back, side to side, and no force field bringing us back together. Amazing!!

    - Increased the stamina cost when continually punching
    I'm already economical with my punches, but some online cats aren't; so easy victories-my opponent seemed winded after just several rounds of throwing and missing.

    - Increased stamina loss when continually weaving
    I don't continually do this, a few opponents did, but I could not see there stamina effects. Though after a few rounds, they didn't do it as often.

    - Increased stamina loss for users that spam upper body movement
    I have already seen a decrease in this, but it is still early for final judgement.

    - Can no longer perform a perfect block when spamming the block
    No comment yet, haven't met a block spam master.

    - Increased the stamina cost when continually running away from your opponent
    I don't run continually, so can't say for sure. Most opponents didn't box defensively.

    - No illegal blows can be thrown by either user when one user is in a stun state
    This works and I like it.

    - Increased stamina cost of Haymakers
    Can't see opponents stamina meter to see if it has a big effect, but on mine I saw my stamina drop about 25% more than previous.

    - Tuned punch accuracy when opponents are moving their head
    I love this as well. Really has lowered punch landed percentages against me. I had a match where my opponents connects were in 40% percentage range.

    - Reduced locomotion speed when throwing punch combos
    I noticed some of this against a continuous body spammer. Though he/she's strategy was not an issue, because we aren't glued together anymore.

        I'm curious as well because the notes for the patch said we could do that. Not sure if it's this patch or another one is supposed to come out with the B. Hopkins DLC.

          A lot of noticeable changes. The increase in stamina cost is pretty significant.

          One thing I noticed and love is that the bob-and-weave motion is no where near effective as it was before, at least against the jab. I used to have matches where I'd be forced to go only to the body because the other guy would just weave-spam right through all of my head punches.

              Tried 2 matches out earlier. BIG difference. Especially with the footspeed at close range. I like it.

                So I'm guessing this is only for the Xbox 360 at the moment because I didn't get a update for the Ps3.

                  This sounds crazy, but how can I verify I have the patch? I turned on my ps3 and left the room to check on my kids, does the title updates start automatically? Stil relatively new to the ps3

                    You'll be able to tell by the movement of the boxers. So much better now.

                    I just played 3 straight ranked matches and it was a lot of fun. Way, way better than pre-patch. Awesome job EA.

                      I played 3 more matches in rank mode and I am beginning to see the changes in stamina. I had 2 great matches with Pappy. Hope is still alive for this game.

                        Those were definitely some good fights, Grunt. We'll have to rock again soon.

                        I got to play online quite a bit today and I'm pleased with the changes. Not getting glued together when fighting inside is a huge change for the better. I got so sick and tired of guys charging me like a bull all fight and not being able to get away and mount an attack. I'm happy they did something about this. It makes fights feel a lot more fluid.

                        I definitely noticed a difference in stamina, and maybe I'm bugging but it seems like the counter window has been shortened a little bit too. A lot of the punches that I usually get counter shots on were either being blocked, dodged, or landed without the counter effect. I was still getting counters but they seemed more appropriate than in the past. Pretty good stuff on EA's end.

                        I don't fight randoms too often but I played a couple of dudes today. They didn't really fight the type of fights I like to see but it wasn't too bad. I got a kick out of watching one of my opponents move his hands up and down like a maniac and rotating his body 1000 times per minute. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish but it was interesting to say the least. He didn't last too long...

                          "on hoping there is a PSN flash sale before Valentine's Day"
                          Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
                          I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
                          yea but will they take psn cards
                          Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

                          lol

                            GREAT!!! I guess they just released the patch. I tried last night (10pm ESt) and there was no patch.

                              The more I play (random online) the more I like. I won some and I lost but I lost because the guy was just better. I have to step my game up.
