Does Fight Night need signature styles?

[Complex]

Similar to signature shots in 2K. When creating a player in 2K, you can choose your jump shot, fade a way, dribble to the left etc etc.

Would this work in FNC?

Re: Does Fight Night need signature styles?

absolutely. as much signature style as possible. one of the things I like the most about the new wwe game is the signature styles associated with all the wrestlers. something similiar would be great.

You can never have too much signature style for a so called sim game.

Re: Does Fight Night need signature styles?

not too much I think maybe as far as stances would go. once you start with sig punches and stuff like that it becomes arcadey. If you know manny has a killer right hook the way it is in the game you can set someone up for it. and tag them til they can't take it anymore. I like the way the game is now. Like I said maybe stance but that's it.

This is my position on the topic.

So stance should be different but punches should all come out the same your saying? Seems the OP means punching style that resembles the real boxer. I dont see how that would be arcade at all. I think it would be better if more of the fighters had their sig style of punching. There are a few but I dont see how more could hurt.

Here is my opinion. At least defensively.

stances for sure. that should be a no brainer. but styles/behaviors in general should be associated within the game. not just signature punches.

pernell whitakers behaviors in the ring are almost one of a kind, and separates him "style" wise from everyone else. It also contributed to how effective he was as a boxer. Having him have a cutout, pre-determined stlye that doesn't mirror that is almost embarrassing.

Guys like manny and floyd who can punch effectively from angles or guys like hagler who had all sorts of lunging punches are things that we should want authentic in the game. Not a new mechanic that just allows this, so that all of a sudden foreman can punch from a 45 degree angle while crouching and backing up.

These are just a couple examples but the signature status of the game should be expanded wherever possible. And of course more attributes and tendencies that create separation of the individual.

Re: Does Fight Night need signature styles?

I believe I understand what you are requesting overall but don't agree in total. But first let's talk about signature styles. A style isn't a canned arcade movement in my mind, but more a replication of movements. I think ea made an attempt with the punch types but it does not go far enough. There are significant differences in a jab by Lewis vs a jab by Holmes. Some boxers don't we've, some don't block, some rely on ducking. Some are fleet of foot and some poor all day long. Some boxers punish you for rounds on end others work towing rounds.

Id like for ea to create the specs for a boxer using their current system and then see if said boxer behaves like his life counterpart. If it does not, then true customization has not been achieved.

Re: Does Fight Night need signature styles?

What I was trying to say is with sig punches. people then tend to rely on that punch during the fight and only throw that punch. as far as what complex was saying that would be cool. But the problem with that is the footwork mechanics would have to be overhauled to do that. boxers don't have enough bounce in movement now to fully show a style like roy or sweetpea footwork would have to be great along with that the bending at the waist need to be improved.

Nice job with that you hit it all. I would say that the major part to the different defenses would be the footwork of the fleetfooted guys . I think even the fleet footed guys should have shoulder rolls too.

Re: Does Fight Night need signature styles?

EA did a great job with Ali. The footwork and the jab were very well done. I love fighting with ALI because it feels like fighting with ALI. Tyson doesn't really feel like fighting with Tyson. In Tyson's regard, I almsot wouldn't mind bringing back the canned animation of his head bob jumping hook. Its impossible to replicate for me with the current control scheme.
