Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

[TheShizNo1]

This may sound crazy, but i just got the game and have enjoyed it. I have not went far in Legacy mode, and the EA Share a boxer is great imo, but what areas cause the game to crash? I did not buy Fight Night 4 or 3 so I am sure that I probably missed the bugs, but what were some of the bugs reported?

I mean this with all due respect, dont worry about it. As much as I love OS, I'm convinced people sour on games because of some people on here. I ultimately have fun with the game, that's the point, to have fun. You have people complaining and bitching in here who have NEVER played the game. Look through this and the impressions, most of the people complaining haven't played the game. Phobia, a guy who has the game and knows boxing, still enjoys the game. Why? Because it's a fun game. We've even posted videos in the impressions thread to actually show stamina does in fact work. I tell you what, the people who were complaining before, havent been on there complaining since those videos were posted. If you like the game and enjoy it, I'd stay away from these threads. If you don't have the game, and not intentions on getting it, why are you posting?

Wasn't EA MMA developed by the Tiberon office? Even so, you would think EAC could reach out to them for advice on how to fix it.

Saying that, I think you're 2nd statement is more accurate. They know all the 12-year-olds who have unlimited access to mommy's credit card will cry and whine if they're not allowed to spam hundreds of hooks over and over again.

I would be that's the real reason stamina and accuracy are the way they are.
It's just too bad the sliders don't work.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say EAC should get help from Tiburon . Guess we need to write this moment downfor the history books. I loved EA MMA's stamina though so I do agree.

I'm enjoying the game so far though and haven't ran into any major issues imo.

At the same time, I'm not sure I've read a single positive post from Phobia in the last 3 or 4 days.

The people who haven't liked the game share the same opinions as I do. So I know if they don't like it, I probably won't either.
I'll wait to rent or buy when it's cheap.

Very true. When we start seeing posts like, "I feel bad for those who bought it" it just shows how sour things can get. I'm really enjoying the game. But to start acting like the ones who are should be given sympathy is implying they made a bad decision. Sure it has some issues, but sometimes we just take things to deep and act like it's life and death.

He said numerous times he's enjoying the game. Is he supposed to say that everyday? The impressions thread has positive comments, they get over shadowed by the same people's negative comments.

Not entirely true Money. I have my MAJOR issues with OWC and micro-transactions, I have stated those LOUD and proud. I also have issues with them not fixing the sliders, which I have also stated here and to EA devs. But outside of those things I really do like the game. I think it is a great game and I enjoy playing it. But like most EA games, they are fun and they are good. But they always fall short of becoming cult classics or AKA AMAZING.

So while you are correct I do have things about the game that I dislike. I really do think the game is great, it just fell short like most EA games from becoming that much better

Thats where I am at too. I play it and its fun but at the same time I'm disappointed that the game doesn't have realsitic punch output and stamina. The Shiz and Phobia have shown that stamina does work to a degree, but it is still busted. I could show you video after video going into the 10th round where my Heavyweight is at 80+ stamina despite averaging 75 punches per round. The Human stamina is even more of a factor than the AI. I want to have to use clinching as a strategy and really be judicious when I let my hands fly. Thats simply not the case in this game. Watch their videos where boxers do tire its non-stop flurry.

Its frustrating, all they have to do is make 2 sliders work, and pretty much everyone's happy except for the OWC steroid pack opposers.

Does the accuracy slider work??

Not that I can tell, so yeah, they need to fix that too.

Thanks for clarifying. That is the most important slider for me. No purchase until that is fixed. And i heard they will not fix it sooo.....

Re: Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

Correct me if I am wrong but wasnt the stamina issue fixed in the demo with a simple tuner update?..If so why in the world isnt Ea doing any tuner updates thus far?...simple stamina and accurracy tuner update would go a long way in pleasing disgruntled gamers...

Maybe we are in the minority. What are the EA forums saying?

[tcrews]

There is this thing called "Rent-First" that so few seem to know about.

For some reason EA Sports Games needing "MAJOR" Patches to fix seems to be the norm nowdays.

I feel sorry for folks that dropped $60 thinking things have changed.

Khaliib - Please don't take this as a personal attack. I live in Maine. Due to Netflix, Gamefly, and Redbox. All of the video game and/or movie rental places within about 35 miles of me were put out of business. I am very, very happy that they were to be honest. They had a horrible business model. However, in between discovering Gamefly (which I've had for almost a year now, thank God) and the aforementioned stores closing down. I literally had 0 other options. It was either buy the game for $60 at Gamestop, Wal Mart, etc, or not buy the game. Or...wait a few days, read reviews, come here and read what people are saying, and inevitably end up buying it anyway because review sites are awful when it comes to sports games (9 times out of 10 giving sports games much higher reviews than they deserve) and you'll see enough "good" comments on here to make you buy it. After you realize it has all these problems, you can then....what? Sell it on ebay? Trade it back into Gamestop for $15 all of 48 hours later? I can afford to pay $40 a month for 3 games out at a time on Gamefly. But not everybody can. If people love boxing, or any other sport. A lot of them have to save up for a few months in anticipation of a purchase. Then the game comes out, they've saved their $60, they buy it, and it's broken. So then, they're essentially out $60 and just saved for months for a broken game that's yet another example of microtransactions and beta testing.

Not trying to attack you, just please understand that "renting first" is not an option for everyone, not by a long shot. This isn't even factoring in people that aren't connected to the internet that won't have access to patches and tuner sets. Or the people that don't know forums and game news exist, aka have no idea that a patch is coming to fix their broken game. I think anyone that bought this game has a huge right to be upset with their wasted $60, because this game did not deliver the game we were promised by EA among others...

Re: Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

Locking up online and causing some 360's to RROD (I have PS3, but I had FNR4 on 360,

Is this known issue? I had my 360 elite for four years and never had a problem. Got my first freeze ever with FNC and within a week had the rrod.

Re: Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

I own the game, knew i wanted it months ago.. But honestly, NONE of this suprises me. EA has become synonomous with releasing poorly tested games full of bugs and glitches and then trying one or two attempts to patch them..

The DLC is expected from a corporation whose goal is higher profit (as it should be).

The ONLY way to "power up" your boxer should have been thru sparring and or training.. The fact that you can buy attributes just tells you how little realism matters to EA's dev team and decision makers.

Remember , they make video GAMES, not simulations..Somehow , someway they always leave the door open for cheese and exploits.. A realistic boxing sim wouldnt sell as well and they ARE a business..

I enjoy the game, i bought my $20 XP.. havent fought online yet (need to practice and spar more because i like to actually try to BOX rather than load up on one punch and mindlessly mash buttons until i connect.

PS... I agree that the stamina seems too low to me, boxers tire too soon.
