Fight night round 4

I think ea has done an ok job as far as gameplay in this game. Im a huge fight fan so im proud to say the gameplay looks like it might be a fans dream, however, i think some of the styles are off. For instance Joe Fraizer he looks like a boxer rather then a suggler. When Joe was in his prime he bopped a lil in his stance but his arms was tight to his face ready to block and to explode on any fool who was dumb enough to keep their hands down. Idk a lot has been said on this game on its site, i jus can't wait until the demo comes out so we can truely see whats up.

its a good revolutionary step with in fighting, getting rid of parry's, block meter, reach, power in individual hands not just for both,....hopefully these amazing gameplay tweeks will finally give it a AAA.

but i'm still not happy with a couple of things.

• roster isn't as good as i want it. solid, but a lot of the boxers that are either legends/up and commers are not there...i have 2 many 2 name but a couple would be joe louis, willie pep, carmen basillio, aaron pryor, alexis arguello (though i know he sued ea for the k.o. kings appearance) bernard hopkins, larry holmes, flash elorde, jack johnson, henry armstrong, floyd mayweather...the list can go on and on
• i'm not 2 impressed with the character models. love the physics, but they look like midgets, and the facial models look less detailed than fn3 imo
• i hate generic styles. ali's punches look weird still....the straight looks 2 loopy and the jab doesn't look as pretty with ali....i want their punching styles copied to a tee....

picking it up on day one....really excited, but i'm always the constant critic so yea....i'm hoping for more improvements...

2 things on this FN4 game. EA got cheap with the lineup of Boxers and leaves out way to many 'Classic' boxers(that would have cost EA more $$$ to get licensed) that we'd love to have in the game... and instead adds a ton of no names/no talents they probably got basically for free that a boxing fan gamer could care less about. They better have really made the 'Career' mode 50X better than FN3. The other thing i read that has me nervous is there will only be ONE control scheme for FN4 and it's going to be all on the Left and Right analog sticks. No alternate control scheme options from what I read. After playing FN3 and trying the R stick punching I changed to the face button punching setup. The R stick controls for punching in FN3 were just to unresponsive and not real feeling. I thing face button on the controller feel the most natural for punching controls. Hopefully the R stick controls have been improved on big time. Otherwise it could kill FN4.ohjtbehaaave

But so far I like what I have seen. Sure the roster can be improved upon, but I thought I heard / read somewhere that the CAB is much better this time around and you can make more than one boxer per profile. If so, then I'm not to worried about the roster. I'll just make them and give them the proper nickname or one that is close to what they were.

can't blame ea too much, boxer have to "lend" themselves to ea to be placed in the game. without there consent, there isn't much ea can do unless they want to be sued. Flyod May. is a greedy punk who probably wanted 5 mill for his likeness in the game. Everyone esle is probably hard to find, or unnegiotable also. Maybe in due time DLC can give us the boxer we want, im personally rooting for Bernard Hopkins to make the roster.

agree, the need to have more playable boxers

all games got its flaws...but im still getting the game though...gameplay looks to good not to get

Looking at the gameplay videos is enough for me to buy on the first week of release. Roster could have been better but knowing EA they will hold boxers to release for DLC to cash in some more.

I think your probably onto something there. There's no doubt EA always plans out a way to milk gamers and fill the Cash Cow anyway possible.
