Yea, know what you mean. Mainly got this as my mate is a massive boxing nut and we will play it online together and have realistic fights. Just a shame that v the CPU its a slobberknocker - at the moment. I'll have to get into it more to make a final judgement.

Shame they still havent sorted out the points decision announcement that they promised. Ref still raises the winners hand long before the build up announcement.

So frustrating at why they get these things constantly wrong and they get through testing. Its so fucking obvious!

do different AI fighters have different styles? cause FNR3 had some people who came out on the offensive and some who just backed off and that was about as far as it went.
 
Well, it seems now that I have to wait to July 2 to get the game as I live in Norway. Cant belive we cant get it on June 26 like the rest of the world. So I`m thinking about ordering it from the UK, but I dont know witch one to choose..It needs to be someone that could sendt International express or something..ShopTo.net or amazon.co.uk comes to mind when getting a game as fast as possible. :THINK:
 
This game is ruined for me as they have done away with the clasic control method, i can't be doing with the total punch contol method ,i just can't get used to it.
 
Afraid not,as it's not bought but will make a nice coaster. Seem the decision to leave out the classic control method and leaving just teh gimmick control is creating a fair bit of controversy out there.
 
Big problem with the PS3 version is there isnt even a control scheme to allow for the triggers to be used as Guard/Dodge like the PS3. Fuck knows why they didnt allow that.

Do you mean "Button mashing" we you say "classic control"?

Err no, its the old classic system and gives and instant reaction to what you want when you want it, none of this gimmick crap 2 point movement for one punch shit. I like to play a waiting game and pick my punches however having to move the thumbstick to two points for a uppercut just isn't it for me and it seems many more. Also my thumb can't handle more than an hour of this at a time.

If you were swinging a hook with your arm, you would move to the right and then a second movement. Can't see the problem doing it the same way with one of the sticks?
With practice, it will become second nature. Really don't know what the fuss is about? EA try to innovate and then you get whiners doing your nugget in moaning about it.
I'm quite bored of reading about no buttons and blah blah blah.
Carry on though, I will just ignore it and actually give the game more than a few hours to grow on me.
If I don't like, I trade it in. No harm done.

Looking forward to picking up my copy tomorrow.

Just stick (excuse the pun) with it for a few days. If you still ain't happy then get rid. Not entirely sure which controls you are on about if it's not buttons?
I thought the only difference to FN3 was that you don't have to hold L1 to go to the body??
 
Bah! Seems like online will be shit too.

Just had a World Championship fight (using created's) and fought "Adolf Hitler" who was 8ft tall, ripped like Arnie and could move and punch faster than a Ninja.

Absolutely fucking stupid.

Don't use created fighters

Use the normal people and you may have good fights like in UFC. If you choose CAFs in UFC they are all 100+ so its shit but the normal fighters are more evenly balanced
 
I'm having problem with gameface too. I managed to make it look almost perfect from the side, but the front view always looks weird. I think it might be the lack of settings for the eyes and maybe nose too. It would have been much better if you helped the generator by adding left, top, right and bottom markers for the eyes so it could create the correct shape. The settings for eyes is very limitied under advanced later on so you can't really fix them.

I'm going to spend a couple of hours today too trying to master it. Hardly had any fights yet :SMUG: Just played the first tournament in legacy on default "pro" settings and that was way too easy (and I'm shit at this game) so I guess the level above is better.

Edit: Anyone else but me that tries to never use the RB punches because they look so rubbish?

I'd cancel it if it weren't for the fact with BangCD you pay as soon as you pre-order, and I can see no way to cancel :(
 
I played a bit more on this last night

I dropped the level down to Pro to get more of a grip of the game and im starting to get used to it a bit. Im coming out of the old mould of going inside and throwing loads of shots thinking its doing damage and know picking shots, countering and stepping back and i have had some sweet KO's.

Now what the fuck is wrong with KO's?

In real time you hit with what looks like a not very powerful shot then a second later there legs go so most of the time Ko's are very very uninspiring because you don't actually realise they are Ko'ed because of the delay and slow reaction going down. In the replays they look great though, i had a sweet one where i countered his punch and landed a brilliant uppercut on his chin, like i said real-time it looked shit, but the replay looked great. They have fucked that side up big time
 
Had some amazing fights in career yesterday using David Haye created character was playing on champion to start off. I won all Amateur fights and think about 5 pro fights but then started to lose as started to rise up rankings.

Quite alot of my fights went 10 rounds some amazing fights where i knocked down opponent like 4 times but they still got back up. I added custom Eminem into career i beleive the custom characters also improve there stats as i beat him earlier on but now i cant beat him he seems to have improved.

Edit: Got thumb blister for playing to much yesterday aswell :LOL:
