Was just wondering since I noticed the new version supports online matches(but no ranking system…better that way if you ask me). I’m no expert at the game but I wouldn’t mind hooking up with some people that don’t go down after 3 rounds like my roommates.
For those that have tried it, is it playable? Worth it? I haven’t bought the game yet and don’t plan to anytime soon unless the online support/scene is credible.
this game is the shizniz
i bought it when it first came out, played it for about 2 weeks straight in the career mode and vs. my friends.
only played about 10 online matches though cause they’re all freaks that kick my ass. i only won 2 of those matches.
it’s a wicked game, buy it. it’s good even without the online play.
I do dig the engine, I played the old one to death, I just don’t have 50 bucks right now. I’d have to pull in some favors for the funds and I don’t wanna do that unless I can’t be without the game. I will own it sometime especially since they seem to have fixed a lot that was missing or poorly done last year, but there is STILL no ref in the ring?! How hard can it be to render some scrawny dwarf in a shirt and trousers? It’s not important to the gameplay but it would certainly help the realism.
hmmm…
not sure if there’s a ref, i didn’t notice one while i was fighting.
but i do notice the ref counting down when you get knocked down.
your not supposed to notice the ref kinda like real boxing the ref is never in the screen or in the way. but anyways that game is the shit. best boxing game out. :tup: :tup: :tup:
Haven’t played it in a long time. Everytime I went online it was laggy as hell.
laggy?
nope i never experienced any kind of lag at all
I love the old one. I have yet to play the new one. Is the engine basically the same? It would be really fun to play it online.
the engine is pretty much the same. you can block while moving now and the addition of haymakers brings alot to the table.
it is fun but going online your guaranteed to get trashed they be parrying like third strike then catchin me with hooks because im so aggressive i have to learn a new way to play.
to answer the question its worth grabbin
I don’t mean to say I want the guy in the way of me boxing but if he was in there to separate the clutch or warn somebody after a shot to the balzac it would add to the realism, kind of like how most video baseball games don’t animate the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher. It isn’t a big deal but it would be nice.
