Also, can you somehow record one of your fights and post it up on the sicc? that would be sweet.
I don't know how to record an entire fight but here are a couple of short video's I uploaded that may help.

This first video will show you how to effectively Sidestep:
http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/8734646

You can see that I anticipated my opponent throwing a straight right hand by sidestepping (since he's throwing a right hand I double tap the joystick UP) making him miss and I hit him with a counter jab of my own, he immediately throws another straight right and I bob & weave it and land a hard counter. Note: when I bob & weaved I threw my punch WHILE my guy is bobbing & weaving, what this does it means you only bob & weave half way, so it looks like a subtle duck of my head. You don't need to wait for your guy to go all the way down, etc. In this example you can see he throws two punches and gets countered two times. This also works great against spammers online who keep throwing the same punch over and over.



The second video will show you how to include a simple Backstep while pounding away on your opponent:
http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/8734433

You can see in this video I bob & weave a shot, land a counter, then throw a few punch combo and at 6 seconds of the video I take a backstep (double tap the joystick backwards) making him miss an uppercut which leaves him wide open for a counter (I land a counter jab, doesn't look like much but it's effective), then follow up by attacking him landing a couple more shots and then bounce out again. This is how I like to fight - make him miss make him pay, move in, land some shots, get out. This way your keeping your distance, being effective from the outside but at the same time being very aggressive when they miss. In this short video I land 9 clean punches and he lands 1 clean shot. If you can keep a 9-1 ratio best believe the fight wont last very long.

I haven't peeped this shit yet but apparently it's availibe now for both xbox & ps3


Stamina Patch (FREE):

1. The overall rate of stamina loss has been increased a very small amount for all actions: punching, moving, leaning, etc.

2. The rate of stamina loss when punching continuously increases dramatically over a short period of time and then takes a short period of time to wear off. In effect, if you spam or fight too aggressively you will run out of gas faster and take a little bit to recover.

3. No changes have been made to the haymaker animations or the speed at which they are thrown.

From what I've read on the EA forums, the new stamina patch has really helped out online play, spammers are pretty much gone now and the ones that still do it run out of gas real fast!

BTW I think the buttons are availible too now but again I haven't checked (nor would I want to).

No Holyfield yet?
Not yet, lets hope he's part of the next DLC pack. Holyfield, Hopkins, Paul Williams, Floyd Mayweather would be nice!

Aight just finished from reading through it, just to go the store and download the the pack and title update right and it contains the code for the new configurations? I bought the game but haven't opened it yet (partly because I couldn't afford one for my son, I'll probably buy him a copy tonight)
