Official Fight Night Round 4 thread

[HERESY]

Good shit 2-0 on making it that far. I am definitely not interested in playing you in this game. LOL

Don't fear that commie! PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN HIS ATHEIST ASS!

 

[Gas One]

this is sorta like...def jam icon with nice graphics.

i still like it tho. reminds me hella of def jam icon tho
been knockin people the fuck out

wtf do i do with the maize bag on training? i dont get it. dont have the instruction booklet

 

[Gas One]

2-0 sixx do you still play this? how good did you get/how far did you get in legacy mode?

i feel like you really have to use some of your internal knowledge about boxing and apply it to this game to win. i been winning alot of decisions.

i ask cuz were the resident boxing fans
i rented it but im buying it, shit is fun as hell..i just gotta get more knockouts...i can outbox anyone but the knockouts i gotta work on...i got a few tho!

i gotta read the thread, i wonder how fun this is on xbl?

 

[Darkshowdown]

niiiice.

He also has one of the greatest flat tops of all time.

You could land a small aircraft on that shit

I remember dude he was a good fighter

 

[MOREBASS]

Its official: I actually like using the sticks more than the buttons. Took 2 months, but I realized how much more fluid you can string together counters and combinations with the sticks as opposed to the buttons.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

2-0 sixx do you still play this?

Yes sir

how good did you get/how far did you get in legacy mode?

I retired Greatest of All Time. I think my record was something like 54-2-1 (with like 43 KO's).

One of the reasons I love this game. Gone are the days of going 50-0 with 50 KO's. You actually have to use skill and strategy to beat your opponent, depending on how they are fighting you. And you can actually lose from time to time!

Definitely worth buying imo. Do you bob & weave and side step & back step? Cuz I'll tell you right now you learn those three things and you'll whoop ass. 75% of the people I play online don't bob & weave and even more than that don't know about side steppin.

If you're having problems not KO'ing people it might be because you're not countering enough. Get good at the mentioned above things and you'll KO everyone. This game really focuses on countering and making people miss then making them pay. That's how you hurt people the most - nicely timed counters followed by a hook/uppercut.

This game is great when it comes to knockouts.

Before it stopped workin on my ps3 i loved the fact you could get knocked out/knock out an opponent with one clean hit to the chin if the timing is right. You dont always have to wait for the bar to reach 0 to accomplish it. Its not as anticipated as it was in previous fight nights. I took this game to a friends house we played for hours and noticed NONE of them bob and weave. It actually takes a bit of practice and some skill to dominate in this game.

I gotta get my shit repaired and play some of yall. I think im somewhat decent.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

to elaborate on the side stepping (in case ya'll don't know) double tap up or down left joystick to side step. What you want to do is time it so that if some is throwing a right hand, you double tap up. This is essentially lateral movement, it makes the opponent miss and it IS a counter, so immediately follow with a shot of your choice.

I do that shit all the time online people get pissed the fuck off cuz they don't understand what I'm doing lol

 

[Gas One]

the bobbing and weaving takes some practice actually, i had to think like a boxer kinda lol and cover up while waving around and getting in a few shots in the process, thats really good for body blows

i took it back to blockbuster but immma buy it for sure

 

[drunkaholic707]

i started a legacy with tyson but his dam short ass reach is pissin me off i miss so many punches

 

[MOREBASS]

Yeah, when I create my legacies I always make them the maximum height with max reach. LOL. No T-Rex arms for me. I like to work from the outside!

I used Tyson in legacy. I was 7(7)-0-0 before it froze. You gotta get on the inside. But doing that with a boxer who likes to run around the fucking ring all day can be a hassle. Just gotta wait for them to come at you and counter em. All my knockouts came before round 7. Just gotta keep countering. Go for the body where the stamina just chills and slow those bitches down.. lol.

 

[NAMO]

well, I came up just a bit short - got 2nd place in the tournament. One more round and I would have won a trip to vegas to compete.

Apparently it wasn't just the state finals, it was practically the entire west coast. There were people from canada, oregon, etc. I KO'd everyone they put in front of me, made it to the final fight and get this, the guy that beat was the SAME NERD I beat two weeks ago!!! Unbelievable. The guy had a new style basically cheap as fuck just body spammed the entire fight hardly never threw any head punches and his defense was improved. I got his energy down pretty far, but it was only a 6 round fight, so he won on points. So close!!!

damn bad luck man!!

I'm gonna get this on Xbox today, I need a break from madden lol.

I got a question for ya. With FN3 I hate people that run away and jab, how do you counter this type of fighter when its hard to close off the ring and get inside them?

 

[2-0-Sixx]

It's easier to close of the ring on this game then it was in the past. It's much harder to fight effectively from the outside.

To counter a guy that jabs all day you can either bob & weave under the jab (time it right) and follow up with a hook/uppercut. Do that a few times successfully and they will change their style pretty quick.

Side step - again time it just right so that right when they throw the jab you side step making them miss with lateral movement, follow up with a jab/straight of your own for a quick/easy counter.

Or simply just press/chase them. Stay on them as much as you can and try to cut of the ring by using lateral movement.

 

[Music Nfluenced]

This game freezes on me like crazy. I've already made 2 legacies and when I get 7 or 8 wins, it freezes. I wish there was more achievements in the game too.

I asked about this earlier but seems nobody here has the problem except us. Read about it here:

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/248706.page

Fucking 42 pages of people asking wtf is up, and EA bullshitting everybody. Its been about a month since EA has said anything about it.

 

[Music Nfluenced]

I bought mine last week and it hasn't came out of the xbox ever since. I'm heated knowing that i like the game and it's freezing. Reminds me of the GTA4 game when it came out.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I've never experienced a single freeze or crash with this game. I have over 250 online matches, ~60 legacy fights and countless random fight now matches. Then again I'm on ps3 so I don't know.

 

[Music Nfluenced]

Wanna trade systems 2-0-Sixx lol?

 

[$CASH$]

Im on the ps3 too. The problem is so small for ps3 users that EA dont even acknowledge them. lol. The game worked flawlessly on my boys system. Just bad luck.
