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

[xxxTHANOSxxx]

the balance of the game is gone. When they made the adjustment for the slugger to have the ability to catch up with boxer with his guard up. That was ALL they should have done. From that point now the slugger is in range to punish me. But to penalize the boxer for using the ring (the ring is that size for reason you know) is unfair to the outside boxer. Game is to slanted toward the "NO MAS' mentality of people who don't have the patience to do the work. What was wrong before the patch was the inability for the slugger to catch up.This is a slap in the face to Outside Boxing. The game plan that is utilized to compete against the Stronger, Bigger fighter is no longer available. It's called the sweet Science for a reason. I for one would'nt pay a dime for a fight where both professional boxer's were exhausted by the 5TH Round. would you? NOW that the slugger can get close enough with his guard up, and i have to struggle to free myself from the ropes, make them do the work !!!! But don't do it for them. Those guys don't get up 4 o'clock in the morning to do road work for nothing !!!! It's an insult to Ali, Manny, Ray to see fighter with high Stamina getting tired by RND 5? give me break guys !!! THE BALANCE is completly GONE !!!! With the ONE PUNCH KO returning as well. You've done more than enough for the slugger.

I like it a lot better. The previous editions failed to factor in stamina depletion for "bicycling". You can still "bicycle" but not all day long. How many times have you seen Muhammad, Ray and Pac-Man stand flatfooted to either get a blow or step into a punch?

It seems like some are confusing running with sticking and moving. It's two different things completely. The counter punchers/stick n move/outside fighters are being penalized the same as the guys who run around the ring the whole match.

Let's see if I can describe this with words.

Stick n move=forward, back , forward, back consistently.
Running= back, back, back, back, with an occasional forward thrown in lol.

Get it? Lol

I for one like the new patch....for me it's nice to see the cpu get tired for once. Did a couple of fight nows last night w/Tyson against Holyfied & Lewis and by boxing smart I was able to knock both out in the 5th-6th Rd. Is it perfect? Of course not and of course some things could use some tweaking but overall I'm diggin it.

That's what worries me. I did a lot of sticking and moving but still had a high punch output. Boxing is all about controlling the distance between the opponent and yourself. My OWC fighters usually had a reach in the middle of the spectrum. I liked the versatility of keeping fighters with short reaches on the outside on the extra long reaches taking them inside and murdering them with uppercuts. I still want to be able to get in and get off my one or two punch combos and bouncing back out of reach.

There should be a happy medium of not seeing too much of a stamina hit from bouncing in and out versus somebody constantly running around the ring the whole fight. I'm trying out the new patch here in about 30 minutes to see how it is.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is so effing hard for some people to understand. I feel like I've been taking crazy pills.

So, no one is having framerate or stuttering issues with this on PS3? I'm playin in 720P by the way.

They just need to bring back swelling, cuts for CABs, and fix the issue with importing CABs in legacy. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the game. Stamina feels good, I don't suffer much at all playing an outside fighter. All the punches people are complaining about, like calling it a body war, can be countered if you know how to play, and seeing people pace themselves and attack the body early in the fight feels more realistic to me, no more wild flailing punches for 12 rounds, you will either get tired or get KO'd as it should be.

This is how I play it, and my opponent is almost always lower stamina than me, I don't see an issue. Even the king of stick n move, ALI, would have to rest once in awhile. If you think you should be able to dash in and out 500+ times in a fight and not get a little bit tired, you're asking to make the game less realistic.

I agree with respect to those not happy with the changes.

I'll qualify my opinion by saying I've fought mostly runners rather than the more skilled in and out fighters.

Anyone else not getting any blood/swelling after this update?

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 3

Finally got to play online. Now I can give a true assessment from my point of view. Stamina is crucial in this game. Took me about three fights to adjust to it. I noticed that the fighters are a bit slower too.I was afraid that when they said they where bringing back one punch K.O.'s it would be too Arcade like when the game first came out, but its not, it actually comes in realistically like how it should. Wasted punches are killer! Overall I believe EA took this game in the right direction. They took the Arcade style out and put the strategy in the game which is what boxing is mostly about.

If you liked to run and spam as your claim to fame then you probably will not enjoy this game any longer. If you liked more an arcade style of play then you will get frustrated very FAST! Because this game rewards "Boxer sim style players".

Sorry, that's not accurate.

Look at that and tell me when Ortiz is ever stationary. He's constantly moving and always on his feet. You look back at Mosley in his prime and you'll see even more movement, even more footwork, and constant in and out.

That's boxing. You have to be on your toes to box, and you have to move, almost constantly, to defend. This staying in the pocket and trading stuff is brawling.

I'm not knocking anyone, but I think there's some guys here that just want 'highlight-reel' boxing. A game that creates some good action and highlight material. Hence the clamor for one punch KO's, despite them being an extreme rarity at the upper level of boxing.

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (PS3, 3

Finally got a chance to try this patch out...

While i don't like penalizing for disengaging i did not find it game breaking like some of made it out to be...You can box effectively from the outside as long as you stay away from the ropes...Movement is a little sluggish, but once again it is not game breaking...

I picked Ali and told my buddy to spam the hell out of me with Tyson...I was able to effectively stick and move when i kept him in the center of the ring...He did pin me on the ropes quite a few times but most his assault was avoided by side stepping and clinching...I knocked him out with a straight right in the 5th round...He was completely gassed...

The game is not perfect but they finally got stamina right imo...You have to now think before you throw a punch and be a little conservative...This is what we always wanted from a boxing sim, a risk and reward factor...

Good to know-the center of the ring might be key.
