Fight Night Round 4 Hands-On Preview/Impressions (Money99 Blog)

Mo, Can fights be stopped by cuts or injuries? thanks

I have to go dig up my notebook on gameplay. I moved from ATL to Detroit since the community event. But Money did a great job describing the game and its mechanics.

Just to add, the bobbing and weaving was done well. Its a great way to get inside and work. While it took me a minute to do it, it does work. I got away from the sticks in Fight Night 3 so doing it was harder for me than it would be for you guys b/c you probably use sticks. Also, it was on Xbox and I am PS3.

I don't believe so. But I'm not 100% about that.
Maybe Complex, Darxide, Shakyr or Wepeeler could comment on that. But I don't remember hearing that it was a possiblitiy.

Daamn, that's too bad...i remember in HBO Boxing, if you opened a cut & kept hittin' it it would turn into a gusher...which lead to a stoppage also, i think you could crack ribs,break noses,hands,etc...

Can someone else chime in one the original question? thanks

ok im kind of confused. When yall say bobbing and weaving...is it the same bobbing in weaving in fight night round 3 where u use the left trigger and the left analog to sway and duck? In this game..when u bob and weave..can you do it WHILE moving forward? Im confused about this.

So how to you simply duck down directly in front of you if bobbing and weaving is done by starting at 12 and going to 3 and 6 o clock?

Bobbing and weaving is different from regular ducking and swaying.
The left-trigger (I believe) is used for blocking and when you move the left analog you can then sway and duck. But when you do this, you are stationary.
With bobbing and weaving you are moving your head back and forth like a pendulum while moving forward.

I think in the first hatton and pac fight they released the fight was stop cause of a cut, they also did it in the old fight nights.

None of the trailers look fast enough to me and I find it worrisome that the one true gameplay vid we got looked pretty bad It looks like they're punches lack that ummph....like they're not stepping into it enough(All arms with no power) at Hatton winning by the way

yea that looks horrible and it should be almost impossible for someone controlling hatton to beat someone controlling pacman
