OS Exclusive Fight Night Champion Producer Video: Stamina, Endurance and Corner Game

Re: OS Exclusive Fight Night Champion Producer Video: Stamina, Endurance and Corner G

Man the stamina system alone warrants a day one purchase for me. On top of that, @pereznoel, during the dev chat they stated they're still negotiating with boxers at the moment for DLC that'll be coming after Champions is released. So there's no telling who else is going to be added.

That's cool.

I'm just disappointed with the lack of additions to Legacy. I thought this was going to be the year they went all in and made it REALLY good, like some of those Japanese boxing sims I hear mentioned around here, but at this point it just looks like a tweaked version of FNR4's Legacy. Although before the game-killing freezes, I was having a good time with it.

And I hate to use "game-killing" since I know how overused that word is now, but it was true for me in that case because once I couldn't advance any further in my career, I just ended up putting the game down and never really got back into it.

I guess it just turns me off a little that they thought they were better off focusing a solid amount of time on the Champion mode instead of Legacy or other areas. I realize they need a selling point for the game and all that, but I know most people here would have been much happier with a more in-depth Legacy mode than a story mode with a pre-determined outcome (as far as I know).

Impressive. Is the independent "Torso Meter" depleted by the absorption of body punches? I would have liked to see a visual of the meters.

It's also there to keep you from excessive using the lean / bob n weave. If you spam that all fight long now, you lose range of motion and aren't able to lean as far back, forward or too either side as well as your leaning being slower.

looks really promising. looks like some really different signature animations and punch styles have made it back to the game as well...

Hope this combined with more powerful punches will give the people who want to box a shot now in terms of Online

liked most of what I saw in that vid.......but B-Hop looked fat as He*l


The fat torsos are just such an eyesore for me.......In that Brutality trailer....Bradley was another that just looked ridiculously chunky

This is really proof they listen to the community, as stamina was a big issue in FN4. I like that certain areas of the body are targeted.

EA really did a good thing with this move... Looking at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk3XTZtyQ28) that's evidence that something had to be done regarding the lack of fatigue in some boxers... I'm not sure how the guy was doing it but his final stat numbers reflected 700+ right hooks thrown?! EA has made me smile today.. that was really my only complaint regarding the game.

Ahhh look someone was paying attention lol.

Yea Jay, visualizer is right. The Torso stamina is two fold. You have one side of the stamina which is tied to running around, swinging punches use stamina, and taking body shots.

Then you have the torso hidden stamina bar. Which what this does is similar to the arms that Brizzo was talking about. Just the same as if you throw only one punch over and over that arm would get tire an slow down. If you spam sways and leans........aka the body rotate spam. Then your fighters lean slows and becomes more upright.

Sounds good with the exception of the leg region. Will legs get tired from the step, step movement or will they fix the footwork?

Thanks for clarifying. Can you comment on excessive pucnhes, like left/right body shots? This is what ruined FN4 online (as you know). I like that the excessive use of the same punch will get your arm tired, but what about consecutive left/right shots? Does a boxer tire the same way?

Thanks.

I have sat out of fight night a good bit this generation. Jjust too arcadey for my tastes but this is looking a bit more strategic.... Think I will be picking this bad boy up this year.

Great stuff. Glad to see them build in the right areas for this title.

I like this. Adds a lot of depth

Re: OS Exclusive Fight Night Champion Producer Video: Stamina, Endurance and Corner G

While I'm still not happy with the footwork, I'm very glad that they haven't completely cut out strategy and focused on a lot with the stamina. I was very glad to hear about the tiring due to punch spamming. Honestly, this was the best info they've released thus far.

At community day it was like EA MMA but better. In EA MMA you can throw way to many shots before being winded. In FNC at community day you could whip out 8 or so punches before being drained. But it varies based on these.

1) If a punch misses it drains a large chunk off your stamina, so only 3 or so punches that wiff will have you gassed.

2) If the punch lands then you see a much smaller chunk of stamina drain off.

3) With the way punch accuracy was tuned, missed punches happen much more often and this resulted in what looked like a MUCH better "boxing" exchange than FN4.

Now the whole left/right body hooks over and over that FN4 had and now EA MMA did not seem like it would be a issue in FNC. The reason being is two fold. 1) Stamina is tuned excellent in the build we played. The game felt very strategic about when you go for the kill or when you sit and rest. 2) One button blocking allow you to pick off those punches with relative ease.

Only thing left to see is me getting my hands on the game and seeing if they made any bad changes to stamina.

Re: OS Exclusive Fight Night Champion Producer Video: Stamina, Endurance and Corner G

phobia any ideas or insight to what they did with clutching? did u get the feeling that they may tune footwork or not? i know u said u talked to them bout it. also does your opponent body weight affect stamina?
