Aiight. this game was obviously made for righties...damn it . I'm a south paw, & my punch configuration should be on the left stick.This sucks...anyone else havin' problems w/ this? My thumb dexterity is a little better on the left stick tho
Brizzo, is there a inverted config? thanks
Stop whining, i use Iso motion on 2k w/ my left hand
Those of you who said punch spamming is gone were right. Just KO'd a guy online (I was Ali he was Tyson) and all he did was try to keep running in close and throw as many punches as possible. I sat back and let him tire himself out and put him down twice. Guy was talking a whole lot of mess beforehand too. Disappeared quick.
If the foot speed and stamina worked more efficiently the gameplay would at least be decent for an ea sports game. The commentary and presentation is terrible. The clinches should have animations where punches can be thrown. This is just not enough of a upgrade over fight night round 4 for a day one purchase.
One of the funnier moments in this game come if/when you can knock a guy down and he's by the ropes. So far I have seen arms get stuck in between the ropes, bodies flop all over the place...it's pretty funny.

There are sliders available for stamina, but I think it's just about right. Big upgrade from FN4. It's a totally different game.
Definitely feeling the improved camera angles & ref, it adds a lot to the presentation.
But...
Something just feels a bit off control wise. Maybe it's the slight difference between buttons from last year, but I'm getting used to it. There also seems to be a marked advantage for taller fighters, although we are talking about the Greatest. Still, I had issues getting anything done with Tyson, while I could dominate easily with Ali.
I'm also irked at the still nonexistent inside game. Real boxing, especially in heavier classes, consists of a whole lot of shoving, pushing, wrestling, grabbing, and in-fighting. At least throwing punches from the clinch would be nice
ugh, I still dont get the scoring. I just dominated a guy online in every aspect of the game except punches thrown (he threw like 320, I threw about 200... even still, I only connected on 10 less with my 65% hit rate to his 40%).
I'm talking 14 counters (of 16) to 0 (of 3), 40 power shots connected to 0 (he didn't throw any power all game), 45 body shots to about 20, etc. And I didn't win a single round
ridiculous
I really think it's only coming down to punches thrown, which is ridiculous.
I've had the same situations happen and the guy that's thrown more punches always seems to get the decision, assuming one guy doesn't score any knockdowns.

Something I noticed last night is the body stamina is set so that if you weave alot in the first , it get harder and slower in the second and the third you can't do it at all.

I think you're right. My last fight against Ali, my connection rate was better, I landed more power shots, more counters and Ali had sustained twice as much damage as I had and I never won a round.
The overrating of Ali is alive and well!
Pacman unloaded on me(Cotto) in the corner, & dropped me thru the ropes w/ a lunging bodyshot...craaazy To me, the punches are just TOO fast in this game & they definitely need to be toned down as well as the pace. Now over a 12rd match that just might happen, but as of now these 3rds as is... punches are thrown too fast imo.

Ali is overrated mostly by his hook ratings (20 Right, 17 Left), but I've seen decisions where Tyson has gotten questionable favorable calls. This from an earlier post by me:
Interesting scoring sometimes. I lost a fight because they gave Tyson (my opponent) the first even though I outpunched him 35-23, and outpercetaged him 35-67 (52%)-23-91 (25%). I had the edge in power punches (non-jabs not power modified) 22-21.
I think what bothers me the most right now is that I can't seem to do any damage unless I keep the power-modifier down the entire time.
I've hit Ali with some great combo's and counter punches with regular shots and it was like Ali was being bothered by a mosquito.
It reminded me of playing a baseball game where if you don't press the Power Modifier you get nothing but singles. If you want extra base hits, you have to hold for power the entire game.
And holding it down doesn't seem to affect my stamina in the least. At least not my aerobic stamina. I didn't throw anything but power shots over 3 rounds and I don't think I saw my stamina drop below 95% once.
I hope I'm wrong about this. And I hope the final version allows massive slider edits to fix this.
If I'm wrong, please someone tell me where I can alleviate this.
But right now, Ali throws close to 200 punches a round and isn't affected in the least, and all of Tyson's regular punches seem to have zero affect on him.

No stuns in that round either.
Maybe it's simply a CPU boost to help make the game more difficult to win via decision?

Hmmm...I haven't noticed that. I threw a regular left jab, right cross combo with Tyson and it one punch KOed Ali, and I've landed several power modified punches that had impact but didn't stun or KO my opponent. Very rarely I've tried to use them too much and have felt the stamina drain, or seen my opponent use them too much and they slow to a crawl.
