Fight Night Round 4 (PS3/360)

They could be way better.But as you said when in replay mode the look great.I had a battle Calzaghe vs Froch and in slo-mo when you change camara angles you can see their heads banging together,without that fist passing through the body bit.I also had a Sugar Ray v Hearns and the both connected at the same time,Sugar wobbled but Hearns crash in a heap.

He is fighting Marvin Hagler! Test yourself fighting someone a weight heavier.It really does push you to the limit,especially when the heavy dude starts hitting home runs off your noggin!

i know what you mean, i haven't tried it on this yet.

i used be lighter guys against my mates on FNR3, only cause i had the game and it would make it a bit more fair.

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 :(

If you do live in sweden, you would probably have to wait untill July 2`th. I talked to both EA and one of our main supplier and no one have it yet. It seems that the release of June 26`th did not go for scandinavien countrys! If we knew this a bit before we could have put orders from the uk and get it on Staurday or Monday through express delivery. But then again we could not sell it untill July 2`th.
 
Friends matching is borked on PS3 (as usual with EA). Just hangs on the fighter select screen. Tried about 100 times with my mate :(
 
Just had my first 10 rounder, Maccarinelli W(un) Dawson. A real chess match with Dawson getting floored once.

Yeah I do, but I was supposed to be ordering the UK version so they should have shipped it out to me on the 26th (or 25th like Shopto/Game/Gamestation), I cancelled my order and got a refund guess I'll just grab it in town next Thursday, sucks they delayed it until the 2nd here :(
 
So bugs so far I heard about:

1. if you use a real fighter for legacy mode and edit anything like their gloves/trunks or whatever it resets their hair to some really short cut so you lose whatever real hairstyle they had.

2. no cuts/bruises/swelling on CAB boxers apparently?
 
Just played Andy online.

First game he knocked me to the floor in the first round. I won the next 5 rounds by a point. then xbox live disconnected us :(

2nd fight andy knocked me out in the 3rd :(

Quality game this. what I learned today is to keep the HUD on so you know the stamina health etc. I turned mine off to make it more realistic, but you definitely lose an advantage if the other guy has it on.

Secondly I need to pick out my punches better and stop using the haymaker modifer. I have got into the habit of using that as a counter punch, but its clearly not needed as Andy displayed by knocking me out in the 3rd :(

Loving this game though.

Its strange though as videogame stores have not got a mail or anything from EA as for why the game is not out on June 26`th. That big magazine "Gamereactor" have put it out on their main site with a release of June 25`th, so yeah, its strange and sucks!!
 
started playing this finally today as the cricket and rugby on sky has kept me busy over last two days. :) I love this game and downloaded a nice number of fighters. The David Haye I found is pretty much spot on.

Glad you can use real fighters in legacy mode. Something the UFC game should of allowed.

Started off in the Heavyweight division with the greatest heavyweight we have seen in the last 20 years. Had to be Lennox Lewis!

I only do sparring myself. all the other drills I just select auto-train. I never use the haymaker punches as they are slow and not needed at all.

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
Click to expand...

Yes, that's one of the things that's a turn off for me, the ko's. They are very uninspiring in real time. Although, I have seen on youtube vids some great looking real time ko's. I wonder how many ko styles there are. I hope they patch the knock outs and face damage to look more grotesque.

yeah shooto, them fighrs we're quality.

i couldnt beleive that flash knockdown in the first round, it would have been good to see how that fight would have finished cause i'd have had to pull something out the bag and go all out attack.

a first round KO

on another note, what settings are people using with regards to difficulty and the sliders?

i play on champion, with boxer power up a couple, speed up one, toughness down a couple and the 3 AI ones down one notch.

i did this after playing my sister and she beat me by stick mashing. as soon as i changed it so punches were more powerful and your stamina went quicker she had no chance. blocking and conserving your stamina is more essential and a few big hits can see your health drop quite a bit.
 
Think Placebo was right about the CAB damage, but I think its to do with Legacy Mode.

I've just realised I've not seen any cuts or swelling in Legacy :( How stupid and AGAIN, a typical EA fuck-up...

I will say however that I am now starting to love this game. Now I take my time more v the CPU, I find they do to and you can get in and out with some nice combos. And now I've got all the moves sorted in my head, you can really think about what shot to use, or when to sway and counter etc.

Very good!
 
I have noticed that the only facial damage (blood etc) seems to be only around the eyes,yet the commentator refers to blood coming from the fighters nose.I think they could have added more knockdown animations and more varied punches.When you do a replay change your camera angle you will see some fucked up swelling and cuts it's realitic as it gets.
 
I played a few mates at this over the weekend and i have to say its pretty boring in multiplayer

Just the lack of power in the punches makes it seem like nothing much is happening and the awful slow haymakers just look unbelievably shite
 
How'd we miss this? In a chat a couple weeks back on IGN, Fight Night Round 4 producer Brian Hayes said that remapping the face buttons to throw punches might be "an option via DLC."

His full reply:

There is no option for face button punching in the final version, but we are investigating providing the option via DLC.
Click to expand...

Now, no one said specifically that the face-button option would be paid DLC. But one would have to wonder why EA would give this away for free.

I used the face-button option in Round 3 liberally, as it was the only way for me to get through the damned punching-dummy minigame. Withholding it as an option from Round 4, and hinting that it may come back through DLC doesn't create a lot of gamer goodwill.

In the rest of his answers, Hayes' indicates that a dedicated DLC team will also be whipping up additional boxer customizations, if not real fighters who were not included in the official roster. That's OK. But making people pay or wait for controller schemes is kind of shitty, if not unprecedented.

put the slider for power up and the boxer toughness down in the settings, it makes it alot better and never use the haymakers
 
I found once you tag them it's best to stand back because true to form they try to hold on.When i tagged Minter in the video i stepped back threw a couple of jabs the finished him off with a combination.Also if you up the cpu fighter and lower yours it makes for a real battle especially if you are doing 3min rounds.The level of detail in the replays is out of this world,you can actually see the leather on the gloves contort when it connects with the opponents chin.

Aint played online yet. Playing on the default pro setting. Started with Miguel Cotto and am 16-0. Am a bit stuck now as I am ranked 15 and Paulie Malignaggi is 14 but I just beat him. Rank 16 is Vivian Harris and I beat him so I gotta fight someone at rank 17 who I havent fought.
 
Commentators starting to do my nut now same old crap even same bit twice in same match.

Tell you i hope game move to Bluray or a disk type with greater capacity so can pack better sound not to mention more commentary.
 
This game is quite good, initially I wasn't that impresse, but now I have got used to the control scheme and I have started to have some really good fights, I find I am using different tactics for different boxers.

The only real disappointment for me is that prior to release EA really trumpeted facial damage but I am having 10 round matches in my career mode there is little or no damage the the fighter's face.
