Fight Night Champion Patch Arrives in the Next Couple of Months

[edaddy]

I can get over the fact that the game came out with flaws in it thats juust part of the times we are living in. Every game has a small cycle of development that will effect the quality of yearly editions. But what I truly dislike is the fact that developers ,community reps etc don't approach the POST RELEASE as zealous as they approach the PRE-RELEASE. before the release you couldnt catch a day when something wasn't blogged about or a feature was hyped, But post release their is absolutely nothing being said or done and this gives credence to the fact that most people consider EA expert marketers and incomplete developers. I am not saying that developers or community reps should be on the boards discussing every negative nuance post release but they should have a noticeble prescence to address the concerns that respected and reasonable people have about their product. To me that defeats the purpose of community relations as it causes resentment in the future when you are trying to gain some positive word of mouth. IMO I wouldve addressed the issues with aquestion and answer session with the commumity , assured the community that problems have been duly noted, give thanks for appreciation of their business,and move d on from there But utter silence harbors frustration and resentment from people who bought the game with the hope that it performed exactly as developers said that it would. True EA is a business and it's business model is primarily marketing a game with miniscule improvements,but at some point all of this will come back and bite them in the but.

I agree with this and I think that it is fair. Yes, it will comeback to bite them in a butt, who knows when that day comes? I guess this is what happens when you buy out your competition and buy exclusive rights. and yes...I think EA does not focus on their games as much as the 2K team (when I compare Madden and NCAA football to NBA & MLB 2K).

I dont. I'm just glad I wasn't one of 'em. I'm not even interested in this game for gamefly

This may sound crazy, but i just got the game and have enjoyed it. I have not went far in Legacy mode, and the EA Share a boxer is great imo, but what areas cause the game to crash? I did not buy Fight Night 4 or 3 so I am sure that I probably missed the bugs, but what were some of the bugs reported?

I don't expect everything to be perfect. But developers now days can rest on their laurels, because they do in fact know that they can patch. I like the game.. best one in the FN series in my opinion. But the broken slider issue is just pure incompetence and the non answer about it is simply dishonest. I bought a blatantly broken game.

If I buy an HD tv and the contrast, color, sharp, x/y axis adjust, picture ratio..etc don't work, the TV is broken. If I buy a car and the radio, heat, the windshield wipers don't work, I just got suckered.. and I'm taking the car back. As far as I'm concerned, these guys pulled a fast one, should be ashamed of themselves.

I would have more respect if they simply own up to it, and say they will definitely fix these issues.

Because this game is on a 2-year cycle, I have no problem waiting another 6-months until several patches have been released and the price drops.

I waited 24 months, another 6 is nothing.

At least I won't have anything distracting me when I get MLB2K11.

I mean this with all due respect, dont worry about it. As much as I love OS, I'm convinced people sour on games because of some people on here. I ultimately have fun with the game, that's the point, to have fun. You have people complaining and bitching in here who have NEVER played the game. Look through this and the impressions, most of the people complaining haven't played the game. Phobia, a guy who has the game and knows boxing, still enjoys the game. Why? Because it's a fun game. We've even posted videos in the impressions thread to actually show stamina does in fact work. I tell you what, the people who were complaining before, havent been on there complaining since those videos were posted. If you like the game and enjoy it, I'd stay away from these threads. If you don't have the game, and not intentions on getting it, why are you posting?

I would be that's the real reason stamina and accuracy are the way they are. It's just too bad the sliders don't work.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say EAC should get help from Tiburon . Guess we need to write this moment downfor the history books. I loved EA MMA's stamina though so I do agree.

I'm enjoying the game so far though and haven't ran into any major issues imo.
