Well, finally got my first knockout. I wasn't crazy about the controls at first, but after taking time to learn them, and apply them correctly.......they are starting to grow n me a little

I'm pretty sure you can turn off the hud. I cant quite recall where I read it, but I did see it.

Is there a release date for the xbox 360 fight night demo on xbox live or is it just a Playstation exclusive?

[TheCreep]

Yes, the xbox version is out now. Only if you have the preorder redeem code. Other than that, it'll be released to everyone else around May 28th timeframe.

[SouthernBrick]

Thx...I'm guessing you get that at gamestop or is it on some other website?

[TheCreep]

Yea, its gamestop. They're taking their sweet time sending the code via the email though. Myself and Brian Os still haven't recieved the codes yet.

I think many people are pressing the block button too much when they're trying to move out the way. foot speed is really slowed down when you block, so players will have to find a balance when they want to move out the way using the block or just dashing out. The real concerning thing is the haymakers....I wish they scrapped this altogether rather than how it's done in the demo. There is no haymakers for a cross!...... I'm a bit surprised no one has complained about this....pacquiao's strongest punch is the left cross, but this demo doesn't represent that AT ALL! His strongest punch is the haymakers and they're only available for uppercuts and hooks. If they included a haymaker for a cross, it would have been perfect but no, now it looks like EVERY fighter's strongest punch is the uppercut/hooks. So say you're a Lennox Lewis and you play Tyson offline, in order to stun/hurt tyson it's required you get inside and unleash the uppercuts/hooks. Lennox's cross is a love tap compared to his haymaker hooks. throws away the strategy of staying a good distance when you're tall fighter, why should you? you can't hurt them significantly anyways from the distance. If they included a haymaker for the cross and with the stamina sliders, the users would find that balance where abusing the haymakers will drain them, but this is a dream now. This is even worse than their choice of no buttons, at least you can learn the TPC and get 95 percent accuracy. This is an all or nothing problem! potential game killer for me unless they have haymaker sliders, regular punch sliders. A shame really , since the rest of the game looks and feels so good.

i beg to differ on the tyson vs lewis thing...Lewis's most valuable asset is his blinding right cross which was how he beat him and every other win he has..not the inside game... his outside game is where its at....lewis cant take punches like that so dont go in playing tuff guy with him..or it'll be over quickly

and for those who's complaining about tpc vs button...yall just need to give it time ...thats why its a demo...get ya paractice on for 3 rds....

i wanna see heads really learn to use it rather than complain...yeah you can say that you meant to throw the hook instead of the jab when using the the sticks, but compare that to pressing "x" instead of "a" ...it happens...once you learn how to box you'll get comfortable.....

as for me ....im digging this game..... looking sweet!
