EA Sports Please Fix This!!

[steelernut]

Why is that every time a new game comes out players have to seek out the flaw of the game and use to there advantage(SAD). I thought the the unwritten code amongst players was not to exploit the games mistakes but to petition to the developers about the error they made.

The flaw that I am talking about is the low body jab/cross spamming. I noticed it in the DEMO, I expressed it before on a THREAD previously. But then I thought to myself, EA SPORTS will fix the problem its a just a DEMO.I bought the game as soon as it came out, and have been having tons of fun with it. When I first started playing online competition, things where fine I was actually have some great boxing matches, I was quoting the game as "THE BEST BOXING GAME EVER! HANDS DOWN!" then I started to notice players utilizing it more and more. I couldn't believe EA SPORTS didn't see this flaw a long time ago because it is so blatant! For example last night I was playing in H2H, and I kid you not, the 4 matches I played every single one of them spammed the heck out of the LOW BODY JAB/CROSS. I couldn't stop it! I tried to move and slip, block, throw hooks to the head, but no matter what I did I would continue to get caught by it. (ANd on top of all that they always pick the strongest boxer in the weight class, so its even more unstoppable) They would spam my body until all my stamina was eventually drained. I couldn't believe that I was getting KO'D by body JABS!!! If they don't fix this soon then it will ruin the online experience. Eventually all you will see are players lowbody spamming and whoever gets drained first, loses. I don't even like to go online like I used to because I know I'm going to run into a spammer more times than none. And what was even more SAD about it was the players I lost to where all within the top 100 rank (SAD). Is it that important to get a win? CHESSE the game all for RANK? Why can't you guys play the game like how its meant to be played? But what it boils down to, is that EA SPORTS needs to fix this, I hope they have seen the issue and will repair it on a patch. Are there any other players online that feel me on this issue??? I trying to spread the word

Well considering that's one of the "Lessons" you learn in the Tutoral/Prizefighter II mode, I am sure that EA was well aware that the Spam Jab was a great viable strategy.

I'm confused lol Are you saying your ok with spamming? ANd yes I do go through the story modes, but I spend most my time online. Any one who knows boxing knows that fighters don't sit there and throw hundreds of body jabs in fight. The body jab is meant to keep your opponent honest or distract them to get other shots in. Tell me this, when have you ever seen a fight where a boxer is throwing practically nothing but body jabs? And wins the fight? NEVER.. Obviously you utilize this spamming tactic, all I can say is, do you, but in my opinion its one of the biggest flaws in the game.

No, I'm not OK with spamming or any exploit that is cheesy. But in that silly story mode you are forced to spam the jab in one fight, and its amazingly effective. So EA obviously programmed the Spam body jab on purpose.

Play some story mode tonight and tell me what you think......

[rayfieleous]

I know what u mean I face a guy who did that with pavlik I kept getting stunned with body jabs I have no idea how ea can let someone throw straight body punches in close taking hooks to an uncovered head and still be standing

[acts238shaun]

The real problem to me is the guard is programmed to weaken after a certain amount of punches more than the strength of the punches. They use both, but the game code think four jabs should weaken a guard and that is ridiculous. I can't recall how many times I've been stunned only to see some 6-8 CAB spam jab my guard to weaken it and follow with a straight/hook. That's what happens with the body blows, they weaken the guard to quickly. Give the jab some pop, please, but let it be upside someones head doing damage, not my blocks!

I have the issue as well, and two out three times I step back as soon as they start and power straight them upside the head or to the gut. I actually just folded a guy in half for a KO a few minutes ago that was doing that.
