Fight Night Round 4 Patch Available, Post Impressions Here

[grunt]

I played 3 more matches in rank mode and I am beginning to see the changes in stamina. I had 2 great matches with Pappy. Hope is still alive for this game.

Those were definitely some good fights, Grunt. We'll have to rock again soon.

I got to play online quite a bit today and I'm pleased with the changes. Not getting glued together when fighting inside is a huge change for the better. I got so sick and tired of guys charging me like a bull all fight and not being able to get away and mount an attack. I'm happy they did something about this. It makes fights feel a lot more fluid.

I definitely noticed a difference in stamina, and maybe I'm bugging but it seems like the counter window has been shortened a little bit too. A lot of the punches that I usually get counter shots on were either being blocked, dodged, or landed without the counter effect. I was still getting counters but they seemed more appropriate than in the past. Pretty good stuff on EA's end.

I don't fight randoms too often but I played a couple of dudes today. They didn't really fight the type of fights I like to see but it wasn't too bad. I got a kick out of watching one of my opponents move his hands up and down like a maniac and rotating his body 1000 times per minute. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish but it was interesting to say the least. He didn't last too long...

GREAT!!! I guess they just released the patch. I tried last night (10pm ESt) and there was no patch.

The more I play (random online) the more I like. I won some and I lost but I lost because the guy was just better. I have to step my game up.

I agree on that, especially in that some counter punches seem to just land without that full blow feel. I like that. The counter window needs to be faster and less "power punch" feel. I know that if a guy misses there is a pause and he's open for pain, but FN4 seems to accentuate that too much.

I don't know how it plays online because i have no interest in ever jumping into that cesspool of cheese but man does this game play like a dream offline...

We can finally move in the ring and jab...they also really reduced the counter window which was a big annoyance against the cpu...No need to turn CPU defense all the way down to 1 to avoid the constant jab stuns now...

Had 3 bouts and i absolutely love it...

Good job EA
