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

The boxers could actually throw faster and I've run across the body punchers you speak of, but never have I lost to one. You also might not want to type the same thing twice in the same post, it may turn a lot of people away seeing a giant wall of text when really it's the same thing copy pasted.

I agree. Essentially, the fight night 4 engine is fantastic but its really been let down by the factors around it. The knockout system seem particularly strange as it doesn't seem to matter about the power of punches but more your ability to wear down the opponents health. I think the main reason for the strong backlash regarding this title is we were all expecting so much more but the title has been let down by some really poor decision making by the EA team.

Nothing about this game is "fantastic".. nothing at all.. Let me sum it up for ya kk ? 1. Online- Two evenly matched players.. fight.. one picks tyson one picks Roy jones JR.. Jones jr wins every game because hes faster.. YEah i know tysons a powe beast buit when EA makes a game they like to ruin it as best they can. They allow guys like jones to body spam and either u block and he starts alternating HIgh/low. Maybe you get a nice counter or parry but probobly not cuz EA made it extremly impossible to accomplish that. On command its impossible to counter so that means dweebs that would normally be button mashing on FN3 can just do whats next easiest and alternate right to left on joy stick.. 2. Career- Well career mode is a huige waste of time. For those of u who dont know the mini games are frustrating and are guranteed to make you mad before you will ever have fun with them. Secondly, you waste hours upon hours of building a fighter with awesome stats and retire him in the hopes of having a nice boxer to play with in fight now mode. But for some reason you guys stats arent in the 90's and 80's anymore they are i nthe 40's and 50's ocne u select fight now mode.. Id liek to read EA's mind on this part of the game but its hard to understand what ppl with downs syndrome are thinking at any time. 3. EA SPORTS= garbage. Well im sure you have noticed now that NBA live has long been the weakling NBA title having nothing against the 2k series. Madden clings onto its heritage as the oldest football simulation that since 05 has gotten steadily worse. In fact once 2k or any other small time corp decides to go after football franchise alot of p layrs who are sick of online glitch manipulation or a game that has no lifelike qualities will switch from madden if they had any brain cells. And that brings me to FN 4. The most over hyped crap game ever made. and alas proof that EA no longer cares about its quality of product.. How can they release such a **** game AFTER playing a game ten times better in UFC 09.. Rofl they are so cocky they didnt care. Well i guess once everyone waits til midnight and buys madden 10 to only find they paid 60 dollars for a roster update and a new cover. will either shoot themselves of do like i have. Boycott Ea sports. P.S if u buy madden u will regret it trust me, the beta is pitiful to say the least!!
