Fight Night Round 4 Review

[sirtoks]

I must say, this is an amazing game, but I don't know about you, but there seems to be a delay on punching....Meaning, after I have given a combo, I still see my guy punch a few or react late....Am I wrong here???

I give this game 9.5 out of 10 though!

If they use DLC/patches to add more sliders, the ability to throw punches with the buttons, and clean up some of the random anomalies in the gameplay...this might be my sports-game of the year.

i agree with everything especially the bolded part. the A.I. is superb

I could enjoy it better that way with the buttons. The only problem is, I'm not the only person that believes this way. There are thousands of others that think this way. From a business standpoint, EA needs to make those changes so it could help its bottom line. Doing so can put this title over. Everything is in the game is great and not too far from perfect. Good graphics, sound, solid career mode. The only thing thats holding it back or me from buying are the controls.

lol do u work for EA?

But it could sell even better with the button config.

7/10

Way too unrealistic work-rates, bad foot work, and hard to create space as the fighters seem to be moving in quick sand once they're in close. The engine for the game is great and had the potential to be considered a boxing sim, but it feels like they dumbed it down too much for the casual fans.

No need for buttons the TPC is very accurate and adds to the level of expertise it takes to get off shots. Hopefully EA will not succumb to the Button Mashers who just want to tap buttons as fast as they can.

I don't want to hear the "accuracy" angle because its just an excuse for those who want the game to be easier. Now that everyone is on the same level playing field it needs to stay that way. Just adapt to the change and you will quickly see that button mashing is a thing of the past

Vs pushing the stick as fast as they can? It takes more stick expertise to use TPC, but in no way requires any more boxing expertise. The latter is what the game should be about.

I agree with the review. Good read. Great game and I can't stop playing!

Hey "dat swag". It's not an excuse, it's a fact. Can you honestly say that every single punch you threw using TPC was the accurate punch you wanted? If you say yes, then you're lying.

Also, what makes a person that plays with buttons an automatic "button masher"? Last time I checked, when I played in the past, I used the buttons in a strategic manner. I never mindlessly went apes*** and hit buttons. That's a poor stereotype going around.
