I hope when you use the heavy punch modifier, it doesn't make the punches slower. All it SHOULD do is make the punches stronger, BUT use up more stamina and make it easier to counter if dodged.

Tex Maule wrote a then famous article in Sports Illustrated following the fight called "A Quick Hard Right And A Needless Storm Of Protest" calling the shot a perfectly valid, stunning right-hand punch to the side of the head
Ringside observer Floyd Patterson, no fan of Ali (still called him Clay) described the punch as a "perfect right hand".
The blow had so much force that it lifted Liston's left foot, where most of his weight was resting, off the canvas.

Game is complete garbage. A button mashers wet dream. Punches are far to accurate. There is no defense what so ever. Fighter walk through jabs and crosses even power modified ones like they are nothing. Same arcade trash as before. Frame rate is horrible. Punch delay is horrible. Same weak presentation. Just prettier graphics. Was so excited to play the demo, now I don't even want the trash on my system anymore.

Played the demo. At first I was impressed by the graphics and ease of control. Some good stuff there.
The more I played though, the less I liked it. There are a lot of punches thrown and landed. And stamina never seemed to play a part at all. I could throw punch after punch after punch and never really got drained.
I also realize that I hate the fact that a sports game is M rated. I mean, I realize using an original story and making it gritty, whatever. That's fine. Just seems a little much with the amount of swearing in the menu music as well.

Like I said about the F-bombs, the story doesn't bother me with them being in there as I get the idea they are going for. Just didn't appreciate turning on the game and having the soundtrack drop swearing while trying to choose a boxer. Just not necessary IMO for a sports game.

And I realize I'm in the minority here.
someone mentioned flash ko punch needs to be a attribute, it is not all guys will have it some will be higher and some will be low. I'm not basing my judgement on this game based on video without my actual hands on it . I'll wait till Wednesday.
An impression from the EA forum:
"My jaw just hit the floor when in the third round of my offline fight i was cotto vs pacman, i was dropped in the 1st with flash kd`s, then in the second i started landing some decent combo`s, in the third i buzzed pac and was repeatedly hitting him with combos when out of nowhere the ref jumped in and stopped the fight!!!
That was FreaKin awesome, the ref stopped the fight due to pac not fighting back and taking to much, he didnt go down once, just took like 15 - 20 punches without landing or barely throwing, in jumps the ref and off goes Joe telling me that cotto has won via a tko as pacman could not protect himself and was taking a beating!!!" This is cool as hell

The commentary on the other hand pulls you right back out, as it's awful.
i got the 3 files, extracted and burned to disk...my xbox says 'mixed media disk' and I went to game library and it's not there. Am I missing something - do I have to somehow 'open the disk'? or something?
SUCCESS ... i didn't originally create a burn folder on the desktop - that made the diff and now I see it - awesome. Off to play... there are some cool people online that really put the effort in - the step by step I saw had screen shots and all

Unless the blocking and overall defense takes getting used to I'm not happy with what I'm seeing in terms of connection percentages. I'd like to see the majority of percentages from 20%-45%. I don't want easy defense, just the ability to execute a great defense.

overall only one fight. I'm impressed and feel like the single player will be nice because I'm liking the moment to moment action in the ring.
3 things that would make me a lot happier would be
1) no cutscenes at all or replays during a round, make it like ufc knockdowns and just get up and don't break the action
2) some knockdown punches for some reason completely halts the followthrough of the punch. a big culprit is the closer range short right straights the punch stops dead at the head and doesn't drive through making the actual knockdowns at times seem strange since other non-kd punches look way more viscious - however this isn't universal
3) bit less accurate with punches would be nice a little more randomness to the flight path of punches. AND fiddle with the stopping power a bit. Many people complain there is not enough, but it was out of place for ali to drop me like that...he DID however hurt me twice and move in for the kill, but I just doubt tyson folds like that so soon in a fight.
had an interesting fight with tyson as Ali. I won 10-9 all rounds all judges. 128/232 for 55% Tyson a more modes 83/221 for 37% only 34% to the head. What he did do is land 42/102 to the body and me only 21 shots .... so it could have been an interesting fight getting later on.
I think clinchig should happen naturally or be easier or something. When's the last time you've seen a boxing match, especially heavies without a clinch in a whole round? It's a big reason the punch outputs are so high...because it's a game is one reason, but also because there's no sloppy stuff and time wasting things like getting tied up.
overal It's a gigantic step forward from round 4. I actually enjoy this.
