I think it's two weeks later. So around the 28th.

I finally ended a fight with a KO. Pretty nice. In between the 1st and second round I saved all my points. Between 2 and 3 I used all the points first for a large bag of ice for stamina then a little health. Came out in the 3rd round and just jumped all over Hatton. Had him stunned with about 1:05 left. Pushed him into the ropes and as he was bouncing back caught him with a left uppercut that landed flush and it was all over he couldn't answer the count. Such a nice feeling.

I was thinking the same thing but you summed it up pretty nicely. People often forget how long in advance builds need to be submitted for approval, and since in this case its a prebuy promotion who knows how old this particular demo build is. The game is still well over a month away. There's still time to fine tune the gameplay.

See you shouldn't have to do that man, this game shouldn't be like this anyone should be able to pick up and play right off the bat, the can miss me with the TPC bull.

I don't know how many time I try to throw a uppercut and end up throwing a hook, I know what I want to throw and I can't get that, it's crazy

3rd fight

-got my first KO win. put hatton down for the count in the 3rd round

-countering is very rewarding, which makes for good defensive play

-i like how punches can still slip your guard, just like real life

I have to agree with you. There are a lot of things to like about this demo but the control scheme is not one of them. Maybe I'm not as agile on the sticks as I used to be but I'm having a hard time trying to throw the correct punch. It seems like I'll be spending more time in the damn tutorial mode than I will in an actual contest.

I think a lot of people on the fence about this game will not buy it due to the controls. I want a challenging game but I'm not sure if I have the time or patience to ever become competent with TPC.

Well Im going to try and endure because the game does have a lot of upside (if it was tuned correctly)

but I would really like an answer from them why buttons couldn't have been added at least for the Offline Legacy People????...would it really have hurt them that much Financially/Ethically to have them there???
