Before i am a big gamer, but before that I am a die hard sports fan and competitor. The sports I love so much is MMA and Boxing, the combat sports. UFC isn't bad for a start of a franchise, its very realistic and when you get good it involves a great deal of strategy. What makes me most inspired by the UFC is that their is a counter for everything, but the game is unbalanced (GSP in the Welter).Although Ienjoyed UFC I was greatly looking forward to fight night round 4, i loved 3 but I had a feeling that 4 was going to improve upon the faliures ofround3.

When i got my copy of thegame I was surprised that this game that was advertise as sim has now took a turn for the worse. Its not sim at all, for one instance is the body punching and spamming, ppl online with no strategy come out and throw bodypunches all dayor switch to straight spamming, its very annoying for a person who knows the in and out of the sport to come online and see this. Whats most annoying about this is how effective it is, when u try to box smart it has lil to no effect on these players because either one of two things happen, 1st they might score on the cards because for some reason in fight night it doesnt matter how many punches u land cleanly, only the amount that has been thrown. 2nd u try to counter but it shows lil to no effect. body punching should take over the course of the fight, its like putting money in the bank u dont see results until later on the fight. on the game it takes place almost instantly

the stamina bar is pathetic if a guy throws too much he should be gassed n later on exhausted in the fight, any real boxer knows throwing so much can be sucide even if they are somewhat landing that big shot is the one that hurt. What makes me up set is how people can keep throwing, at least in round 3 a fighter would get gassed from throwing too much in a combination and can hurt ur endurance later in a fight. This is no where to be found in this game that claims it sim. the movement is somewhat unrealistic and especially how many punches are thrown while spamming in the same hand i hate round 3 but art least when someone tried the same tatic they got gassed or counter with that unrealistic parry.

another thing is footwork, it barely exist and for the constant spammer it can suck the smart boxer in with no escape so he cant get out of trouble and allows the spammer to get in body shot or straight after straight.

my biggest gripe with ea and round 4 is why do they award the idiot fighter and condemn the boxing ethusatist and followers of the sport. This game is a GAME no where close to the gaming sim i was tricked into believing it was. I thought this will be the game where i can fight a smart fight and finally show the idiots there exploits don't work and when someone combinds know how and gaming skills it can be deadly. but ea proved me wrong and will do the same in madden.

curse this game and curse the hype disappointed to the max

That's the thing with online. You get people out there that just see it as another game to spam to death. They're not playing it because they're a real fan of it or anything. But I agree. If it's a "sim", then spaming a single move can't be possible. Because in reality, that wouldn't work at all. But that's the thing with fighting games online. There are a lot out there that aren't looking for a good fun match. They just spam, exploit and "win". I honestly don't see that as "playing the game" either. There's no fun in doing that. There's no fun in facing someone like that. I don't care if I win or lose. I'm just playing to have fun.

No, im upset that idiotic tatics and unsim like boxing was put in the game that was hype to be for the boxing ethusatist. I understand ur making a game, but ea might as well said arcade sim and i have no complaints. Picking and choosing shots don't exist and matches turn into unrealistic slugfest. the sweet science is far from this in real life and it makes me sick to see the sport be depicted so disgracefully that no strategy can be involved, its mindless and thats not what boxing is. screw winning or losing this about disrespecting a sport and not giving it the right represetation.

Don't gutless greedy cooperations do this kind of thing all the time? A lot of things are "dumbed down to the masses" these days.

I feel for you man i was also very hyped for this game but luckily i played one of my buddies' before i went out and got it myself. I find that there is way too much of a dependency on counterpunching and being an outside boxer is almost impossible to do. The advantage always goes to an inside fighter with strong punches. Landing three successive haymakers should do more damge then a few counter jabs but not so in this game. Also the boxer ratings were poorly done with the pac man being rated only 1 point better than Miguel Cotto...thats just unacceptable EA. I have totally lost faith in their sports titles after they dropped the ball with this one.

This is SO true when it comes to online Fighting (street fighter 4/fight night/tekken etc etc). 999 out of 1000 people will just spam you to death just to get that "WIN" to improve their stats. Even if I beat them I don't feel any accomplishment because I'd rather have a good fight and lose than fight a spamming opponent and win.

i think it became arcadey... and has too much focus on countering... its dangerous to actually box coz counters are a lot more damaging.

regarding UFC Undisputed 2009, the game has some flaws... but it totally rocks!

EA did this so when FNR5 comes they can say its newly and improved, like purposely breaking it so theres room for improvement to tell the media when the next installment comes out, and so people would buy it, but ofcourse maybe Im being too harsh, im still gonna buy FNR4 tho, I like an offline multiplayer game that is not splitscreen

your so right, this game is complete garbage, a majorrrrr letdown, ufc 2009 is better and for some reason got worse reviews, i garantee ea pays for good reviews, madden has become a glitchfest
