Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

Re: Patch 1.02 Available on PS3

It's definitely a lot better. I'm only a few fights in but I had one fight go the distance and the accompanying stamina drop was a welcome surprise. By the end of round 8 we were both gassed (me vs cpu). It was my first fight with the new patch so I threw a bit too much, as did the CPU. I ended up getting knocked down 3 times, stunned the CPU a few times but never knocked him down, and lost a UD.

Second fight I won in 3 rounds and my third fight I won by TKO in the 10th due to ref/doctor stoppage, which was nice to see.

I noticed that stamina absolutely has changed for the better. Punches seem to make more sense when they land in certain places. I hit Andre Bishop in the temple, just a straight, non-counter/non-power-modified and it took Bishop from about 98% health to 20% in one shot. Which was nice because it landed flush and it made sense for it to do that much damage. So I definitely think to this point, the patch is great. My biggest issue was stamina, lack of 1 punch ko's, and a few other things which all seem to be fixed. So far so good.

Re: Patch Available on XBOX 360

Glad you guys like it. I'm done. There is no way to fight as an outside fighter effectively. I just fought as Wlad vs Marciano. He threw nothing but body punches for 5 rounds and there was nothing I could do to stop him. I couldn't jab him and move, he'd just block and walk through it, and once he was inside, there's nothing I could do to get back out of range. As a real-life boxer, this is a slap in the face.

I humbly Disagree.....You can still stick in move, you just have to be in the pocket alittle bit more......You really only get penalized for constant back pedaling.......As for as it being a bodyfest, if people are throwing hooks and uppercuts to the body those are easy to counter.

I have to put in more fights to get the feeling for this. On one hand I can see it becoming a insider's game but at the same time if you can step counter they are in trouble. The jab doesn't seem to work effectively unless they are tired. I just don't know yet to say the patch is bad/good.

it's good in the sense that you pay for just throwing punches with no strategy but at the same time I am concerned the body shots are just to dominant.

Just had an awesome fight in OWC. Me and the guy both boxed. He threw a total of 639 punches with no power shots and I threw 451 with no power shots. I ended up knocking him out in the 10th. He was worn down zombie walking. It was refreshing to actually see someone trying to box.

A beautiful boxing game? Too much running or too much available stamina for this game to be declared "beautiful".

I so tired of online that I got my $23 for the game about three weeks ago. How is offline?

Amazon has the game for $39.99 for both consoles.

Good to see a CPU versus Human report. Sounds good so far.

Destroy a Beauiful boxing game???? This game has had flaws since it came out....at least now there some balance.

Re: Patch Available on XBOX 360

One thing online that is extremely noticable, is that the Top 100 fighters aren't nearly as good as they were before the patch.

Re: Patch 1.02 Available on PS3

Guys, when you start the game, does it say that Update 1.02 is available for download?

I don't get that message I even tried to uninstalling patch 1.01 just to see if this did the trick - it did not!

Maybe it's because I'm in Europe. We tend to get things a little slower over here, but I couldn't do it on my fake US profile either!

Frustrating as hell! My wife is out tonight so I got plenty of time to some fights in and see how the patch works!

EDIT:
Nevermind - guess the patch is not out in Europe yet! *SIGH*

Including me. I just happened to be one of the few who actually played the game the right way. If I care enough, I will adapt, but right now it doesn't seem worth the adjustment.

Re: Patch Available on XBOX 360

The patch is amazing. You have to fight smart now. Cant just overwhelmed your opponent with punches, or run away the whole fight and end up winning.



BOXING IS BACK BABY!

Re: Patch Available on XBOX 360

Is it me or has the judging been terrible since the first patch/tuner? Why doesn't it reward me for throwing less and landing more? Match after match I lose rounds I clearly won. I thought the judging was very well done on release.

With regards to the patch, stamina is definitely much better but slightly too low. I had a guy slowing down in the 1st round! I just KO'd three people using Tyson by just letting them gas out in the mid rounds.

I had that happen to me too.

How is offline playing?

Re: Patch 1.02 Available on PS3

For offline, do you notice if the CPU is more conservative with it's energy/stamina?
I love hearing that stamina has been fixed, but I hope the CPU is smarter about it and doesn't simply wail away until it's zombie-walking around waiting to get KO'd.
