Grabbed it for 360!
I was thinking about getting it when it releases this fall should be great. I only played a little bit of 3, but I liked what I played. I hope the custom character mode is just as deep or deeper. I think there were reports for online too.
Ugh. Getting f’n OWNED by my buddies here. I have no idea what to do, feeling helpless. It’s like every punch they throw they’re landing, despite my constant defensive posturing.
Does anyone have ANY tips?
I also don’t like the fact you can’t change up the button config to whatever you want. I have it for 360. You can’t have the haymaker modifier be like Left Bumper instead of Right Bumper without changing up the trigger configs. WTF? Who uses “switch stance” enough so that it warrants a main button? Switch stance should be like, the back button or something.
I don’t like the perfect block - counter punch, especially online. If it isn’t the lag, it’s either your boxer that doesn’t respond fast enough or your opponent is already landing another shot before you can counter.
Yeah, FNr4 is basically counter punching 100%. Everyone online does nothing but weave until you throw a punch. Kinda disappointing. I was hoping they would come back to the greatness that was FNr2 when everything didn’t feel like molasses.
I’m loving the game. Enjoying boxing with Tommy Hearns and decimated a few Tysons with Lennox Lewis. I fought some horrible Tyson spamming the sig ducking hook, he did stun me a few times where I mistimed my block/defense, the guy was acting as if Mike was fighting Robert Colay, an unfortunate victim of an early Tyson left hook. I fought one guy who really knew how to use Tyson constantly using head movement to get inside, it was great, b/c I was fighting a boxing fan, not just a stick mashing gamer.
If it snt the weave, it’s the mashing. Beat some guy that threw 706 punches lol and he still lost.
I tried using Ali against Tyson, staying out and using the jab didn’t help much, fucker just held block and lean all day; then mashes hard when he gets in close. Kind of hard to counter when shit is like a machine gun.
yah definalty takes some time to get the counter punching down… still learning
i’m doing legacy and i’m up to the contender point, shit is getting hard especially fighting dudes that have longer reach
Ok I have a question. In the tutorial where it says to weave by holding L1 and doing qcf with the left stick, I can never get it to register before the time is up. Anyone else? I have no problem with any of the other motions.
Just the weave? You shouldn’t have to hold any shoulder buttons, just do the qcf.
Or is it the lean + up/down?
Played the demo…I don’t like the controls at all. I prefer buttons over the right stick. I’m not liking this at all. Why did EA take it off? Oh well. Game looks good but teh controls kills it for me.
id imagine because you can do more moves with RS, there werent enough buttons for all the moves maybe…thats my guess
Don’t matter. I’ve beaten people who use the Total Punch Control and were good. I don’t care why they did it. It’s not cool to take off a button scheme that’s equally as good when a lot of people use it. That’s a BS move. Fuckin EA!!! But so far, that is the only thing I do not like about this game.
Well, to also be fair, they gave you three games to get used to the Total Punch Control scheme.
whats the purpouse of the “simulation” for the calendar? Does it do anything?
Also is it better to train or do auto training. My tv blows so its so hard to read anything hahaha
auto training only gives you half the potential points. Simulation just fastforwards through the calender, so if you have nothing scheduled, you have nothing to worry about; except maybe having your popularity dip.
Training in general is pretty fucking boring though.
you can only schedule one figtht @ a time right? so why bother with the calendar? unless u can schedule more fights
Almost zero incentive to not have a tall CAF just because of the scrubs that mash jab.
getting dizzy on your oponent is bloody hard… i always play full 10 rounds with decision… unless i get knocked out by the AI in round 9 or somthing ha.
God I hate counters. You do all that work to get your opponent down and all he has to do is score one solid counter and you get dizzied. So much bullshit.
Also the AI cheats like a motherfucker tying up when they are dizzy.
