    I've gotten into a proper rhythm with my online fighter now. Was getting beaten every single fight til I examined why I was losing and started levelling up my weaknesses. Since doing that I've been dancing round the ring and beating all sorts above and below me in skill. On a 7 win streak at the moment and managing to end fights within 5 rounds more often than not.

    My best tip for the online is just to go slow in the first round and stay away from your opponent for the most part. You need to feel him out and you should be able to tell fairly quickly what his favourite punch is. Once you know it you can avoid it or at least try too.

    I've been flash KO'd too many times within the first few punches of a fight and I think they should take that out. Nothing wrong with a flash KD but a game ending punch within the 1st few rounds is so annoying.

    Its an interesting arguement. A lot of people complain about the flash knockouts in the game. However, i have never ever been flash knocked out. nor have i ever flash KO'ed anyone else. I think its all about the way you fight. I am an outside fighter. I dont use power shots at all. Infact, my average power shots after a full 10 round match is 30-40 when compared to the 100-200 of my oponent. I am a very defensive fighter and usually fight the 10 full rounds if i am fighting an outside fighter. If i am fighting a brawler, usually the match lasts 7-8 rounds. Since i rely on jabs, straights and body shots, i hardly lose more than 75 percent stamina. So by the 8th round, my oponent is usually too tired to throw anymore punches and is too slow (due to the body shots given by me in the earlier rounds). It becomes extremly easy to knock them out then.

    The only exception to this is when i fight a brawler who is 5 -10 levels above me. In that case, I go down by the 5th or 6th round. Still never have been flash knocked out in online matches.

    As a matter of fact, the only time i was flash knocked out was when i was drunk and playing against my room mate.

    Its all about the way you fight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    Yea, I have flash KO'd people twice now I think. Once in the first round and once in the 3rd after having scored KD's earlier in the fight. When I've scored them they've been off counter punches rather than power shots. I would be like yourself and generally throw a fraction of the power punches that my opponents do. Like I say you can tell the fighters big punches within a few seconds of a fight so it's up to you to avoid them and not be silly.

    I'm an outside fighter but I like to get inside as well and duck and move for counters. Have had a few fights go the full 10 rounds and i've felt hard done by by the decision.

    Also running into these online bugs people are talking about. I've ad to reboot the Xbox a number of times cause the game freezes on the fighter screen. Whats worse is when it crashes during a fight as you get the L. It's come up with a disc read error during online fight once and just generally dropped the connection twice. Very annoying and off putting.

    i dont have xbox live but on pro difficulty level i won the 3 belts in light heavyweight and have gone up to heavyweight now and won 2/3 belts in legacy mode

    i was getting beaten every fight till i decided to become a counter puncher so i maxed out my straight right and i try make my oponents miss and counter punch!

    i find inside fighters the hardest to beat as i struggle to keep the distance as they come inside up close and catch me with big uppercuts!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Why is the career mode so bloody hard? Playing on pro, Cannot knockout Alvarez no matter what I do, can't even get him dazed, his face is in bits at the end of the fight but he won't go down, tried this three times now and am getting very annoyed. The only way you can win is by knockout so they make it extra hard to do :rolleyes:

    counter punching the only way in my experience

    counter punching the only way in my experience

    I'm finding that the counter punching is much less intuitive than in FNR4.
    I loved the system in the last game, the puch control was tight and easy to learn, having to hold the shoulder button to punch the body is a step backwards IMO and where I used to be an expert at counter puncing I'm now always getting caught with a huge amount of counter punches and landing none.
    Perhaps the problem is that I need to improve my head movement stats etc before counter puncing will become a proper part of my strategy.

    I like a lot of the polish in this game but the core gameplay, for me at least has taken a step backwards. I feel that anything good I do is more down to fluke than skill which takes a huge amount of satisfaction out of the game.
    It's broken my love of the series if I'm honest and unless they fix the issues that are brekaing the game for me in the next outing (whenever it arrives) I probably wont be spending my money on another Fight Night game:(

    exact same with me, ive been playing FN since round 2 and ive always been decent at the games but im absolutely shocking at this game, it seems like anything i used to be good at in the game is gimped, duck and weave, outfighting, counters, quick dodging :( this game seems to be alot more of a brawler type game tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭12gauge dave


    i find it harder than 4 myself aswell and to be honest only way i can win a fight is take a step back make oponnent miss and counter with power punch straight right!

    you cant go after an oponent anymore cause they just counter by simply blocking you which is stupid maybe theyve put too much emphasis on countering which in doing so has left other styles unable to win a fight


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    Are you guys talking about the online in the game or the Legacy mode specifically.

    I like the new XP system they've incorporated into the game and that definitely has an impact on how well or effectively you fight. I don't think it's a brawler unless you want it to be. I mix things up alot by scoring from the outside then getting inside to land a few combos and more effective punches before popping back out again. Using side step and Weave alot to make the guy miss and score counters as well.

    The only issues I have with the game are some of the cheap online tactics. Some guys online are just spammers either with body punches or blocking for counters. Don't get me started on the guys who just run for 10 rounds and manage to get a clean sweep on scorecards.

    When you get an opponent who plays fair, and fights without the exploits, the game is on fire. I had a grueling fight the other night with a guy who fought almost identically to me. By the 9th round we were both in ribbons and barely able to move around the ring. Was one of my best match ups and either of us could have won at any stage.

    Bareknuckle fighting to be introduced in the DLC. Result :D

    http://kotaku.com/#!5785561/fight-night-champion-dlc-to-include-bare-knuckle-fighting
    Bare-knuckle boxing will play out like the prison sequences - no timed round, no referee, last man standing. So you can get in all the nutshots and headbutts you like. The DLC arrives March 29 for Xbox 360, March 30 on PS3.

    It had "Old School" mode which was the same as the hard hits mode from round 3, you wore gloves and rounds were as long as it took for one fighter to go down.

    Bareknuckle DLC? Paying for content that's already on the disc. Ugh.

    Online is getting a tad dull. Another toe to toe with another Mike Tyson. Great. It's like FIFA, vs Barca every game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    I've been keeping my online play to the OWC and not played any Head to Head fights online. It's a bit more varied in OWC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Yeah, I'll give that a go, sure.

    A guy I was playing last night was very sneaky. He butted me early on and proceeded to go on a major offensive. When I counter punched him into a daze, he hit a low blow and it went to the point deduction cut scene and I lost my window to knock him down. Dirty dog.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    yea, you'll find a few poeple doing that alright. I've won 2 fights by DQ cause they kept butting or low blows when dazed. It's frustrating but the guys who do it are generally not very good and can be easily beaten. It's the body spammers that I can't abide. Throwing nothing but jabs to the gut. Its cheap and hard to work against.

    Had no problem with him and beat him first time as I have them all so far.

    Maybe it was your fighting style, I get close, and use a lot of weave and catch them with uppercuts both sides when they miss and plenty of body shots when low(I mainly only throw right hook power to the body, find that easiest to do for some reason, can't use them effectively with the other punches, need to train myself out of that)

    I got this today and will be playing it a bit and if online is going to require the use of a gym then I'd like to get involved in one.

    EDIT: Tried that gym there, can't even join it, says it's full, there's another one by the name of Ireland with more then one member but that's full too.

    Had my first few fight.... hate the custom fighter online anyway(I'm sure normal with real fighters will be fine)

    I went straight in and even though I've outboxed and was beating all the lads so far on the scorecards they all would just win in the end.

    They've all just spammed one or punches, the last fella threw a combined 4 jabs and 3 straights to my 100+ jabs alone.

    I'm losing interest in this game mode already as even though stat wise I've killed them all so far, my weaker fighter just get's gassed easier or his health drops after one/two decent punches.
    What's the point in playing it if you can't win of the bat, I don't want to be sitting through countless losses to lads I'd hammer with even fighters who neglect 3/4's of the punches yet still win at any rate.

    Looks like another good idea poorly implemented like clubs in FIFA, where players can boost their players to 99 while the AI that fill the team play like 50 rated players.

    Have to say apart from that, it's a great game, have no complaints with the actual game or game-modes bar this online gym one


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    The problem wasn't the online gyms but the fact that EA let you buy your xp in the OWC which leads to 90 rated fights fighting 78 rated guys which was unfair. I'm an 87 rated fighter and got all my XP the hard but no due to the new matchmaking am never matched with anyone below an 84 rated fighter. I'm a lv 27 OWC fighter.

    Hopefully they remove that from danger screen, make those two illegal blows ineffective(they're pointless anyway tbh).

    Have had one lad do it on the second knock down and he got away twice but it was only a matter of time anyway.

    Ya never know though they could get lucky sometime.

    Just gave the normal online a chance now....

    What is with the lack of available fighters and weight classes? :mad:

    You're not allowed to pick half of the fighters either because there are only three weight classes, and they're not included in that particular class or else they're DLC for the chosen class(Mosley etc.)

    That's madness, giving you a game and then restricting online use of most off what you can play offline.

    People were going mad about Tiger Woods having courses shown that need to be paid for to play through in the career but this is much worse, it's more like buying FIFA and having to pay to use some teams(wouldn't be surprised to see them try it this year)

    Major let down, online seems pointless after OWC seeing as you're not given much of a choice(Lightweight barely has any fighters)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Bought this yesterday. I've gone through a good bit of the Champion mode on Champion difficulty. Alvarez is next up. I've failed against some guys a few times, and barely scraped through against others, but pro seems too easy. Bet the head off David Haye in my first match on pro, just to gauge the difficulty.

    Keyshawn flash KO'ed my with his first punch (which wasn't a left hook!). I had an epic battle with him. 2 knockdowns each in 4 rounds.

    I really don't have any interest in online. Same problem as UFC, cheater & cheap tactics, where most guys you come up against will just try catch you with the same thing over and over again.

    The core game play is excellent though. I'm very pleased with Champion Mode. I'm not really a boxing fan, but found myself complete more than half the Champion Mode fights in one sitting.

    I probably could have done Champion Mode on a harder difficulty, only had to re-do a part once/twice.

    But Legacy Mode would probably be a head wrecker.

    I'm playing on Pro, and after the first 8/9 fights it's the same thing every time.

    You need to punch the AI's health the whole way down to get a KO chance while they get your numerous times since they spam the crap out of power punches, but yet my higher count of counters still rarely see's them go straight into danger zone.

    The danger zone is when it gets really annoying(after the first 8 or 9 fights) though.

    You stun them, they walk back HOLDING block and your combo's rarely get through as the button lag means you throw too many extra punches of the same type.

    I had one fella avoid a knock down 4/5 times, I wouldn't mind if they were timing the punches and blocking(the AI throws ones when your in danger so you just tap block every time they throw one which is easy enough) but they just hold block and it works way too much for them.

    It's seriously annoying, every fight goes> they drain your stamina, you drain their energy, they get you into danger cheaply, you try throw power hooks etc.. and they ALWAYS step back from them.. every fight i've either just had to step and jab and land combos or else time their heavy punches in close and let off one or two upper cuts each time.

    Apart from doing those two things, they'll just start knocking you(if they get lucky in danger as with easy timing you avoid it most often)

    I'd say a higher difficulty would annoy me more, I just want the boosts for the online(same as ones you use offline)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    How in the blue hell do you beat Isaac Frost? Playing on Champion difficulty and its very frustrating.

    I was just doing pretty well against him, boom, one punch, knockdown. He walks over after I get up, first punch when I had my guard up, trying to back away from him, KO....And you've to land 75 hooks? I can't even get 15 before he reams me. You've to hit an average of 25 hooks to the body per round for 3 rounds.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    He's a tough one alright. I did find when it was getting up to the 60th odd shot landed that he tended to whip out 1 Punch KD's. I waited for him to throw a few punches then go and land 2 then back off. Even stunned him a few times doing this on a counter punch which allows you to just get in and get your numbers up.

    Tried it on professional, and it is so much easier.

    Landed 75 body shots in just over one round (4 mins).....stunned him once, then he knocked me out with two punches when I got a bit cocky in the 5th round :o

    Whereas on Champion, I can get a max of 15 before he knocks me the f*ck out. Very, very tough.

    Its great when you play offline. Especially when playing against friends.

    However its horrible when playing online. Dont get me wrong, the idea is great ( OWC, ranked matches, gyms, bar knuckle OWC etc) however there are too many exploits that people use online and you get frustrated easily.

    Dont get me started on the body spammers.

    One more thing that i dont like about this game is how it sometimes crashes your ps3 for no apparent reason. It will just froze up in the middle of a fight ( offline or online) and restart your ps3. Thankfully it doesnt happen a lot but when it happens, its annoying.

    I had a lot of fun with this game though. I think its the best boxing game ever made. Love the controls too. ( i wish they would fix the online exploits and the PS3 freezing/restarting problem).


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    Yea, i play the game almost exclusively online since day 1. Racked up close to 300 OWC fights at this stage. Beginning to get annoyed when playing it now as the styles are Viral. Someone comes up with an exploit or spam tactic and before you know it nearly everyone is doing it. Makes it so annoying. I can't stand having a 10 round fight with a guy who just scores jabs for the cards and runs and then I lose every round except for the rounds where I invariably close him down and knock him down.

    It's a shame but fighting 2-3 of these punks in a row really just makes you want to turn everything off and do something else.

    I have to say that I haven't even bothered playing online yet.
    The reason being the amount of cheats I encountered in the online of FNR4. That said I generally avoid online in any game for the same reasons.

    I've gotten to appreciate the gameplay over time but I still feel that having to hold L1 for body punching is cumbersome after the fluidity of the last game which felt like a much more polished simulation of boxing be it in a Inside or Outside style. In this game I find myself commiting to the body almost all of the time as headhunting will invariably leave you open to a million counter punches.

    I'm still having fun but not as much as I I know I possibly could have if you know what I mean.

    Glazers Out!



  • Site Banned Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭DB10


    Have this game a week, absolutely love it. All except the online which is absolute ****e!

    Anymore there seems to be nobody online, sometimes I cant even get a quick match going against anyone.

    Anytime I do get a match its always against ridiculous opposition, ie Tyson, Isaac Frost gets sickening after a while.

    Is it so much to ask for anyone to play lower weights, or lesser fighters if they are so good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,585 ✭✭✭Jerichoholic


    Got this from gameclick this week and while the fighting is good fun and the champion mode is pretty good if short. The game can absolutely feck off with it's final boss fight. Isaac Frost is the cheapest AI I've ever seen. He's indestructible and can knock you out with 2 punches. How is that fun? I'm sure the online is fine but after trying to beat him about 10 times I never want to see this game again. Is Fight Night Round 4 any better?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Frost isn't that hard, you just have to do what it says.

    Don't throw punches until you're told, you have to run for about 3 rounds. If he gets you into KO territory, time the blocks, don't hold it, it's actually easy enough to stop the AI knocking you out in it as there punches are slow paced and easy to time.

    Onlines a bit of a pain, they give f all fighters outside of Heavyweight and the OWC(custom fighter) mode is boring as everyone piles into one punch and spams it over and over.

    Worst thing about online is losing a fight and realising they threw 1000 power punches to your 15, if you miss with it, your energy goes to ****, so personally I use it sparingly, seems most others though spam it to death and get away with wins too much.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,585 ✭✭✭Jerichoholic


    I dunno, you have to hit him 75 times, yet if he hits you twice it's good luck. It's terrible really. The rest of the champion mode was perfectly fine. Should have been a normal fight, the gimmicks ruined it. I tried the legacy mode and thought it was a bit crap. Maybe next time they'll get it right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    FNR4 has only the legacy mode which honestly is a bit crap. The career mode in this was a nice change of pace though. The fights the whole way through tended to handicap you in some way. You pretty much can't afford to take a punch from Frost as more often than not a single punch will just daze you and then it's pot luck whether you can survive without being knocked down. The game does give you checkpoints after you achieve each of the goals though if I remember correctly. Thing to do is get through the first few rounds where you're told to avoid him without getting knocked down. Maybe take a single knock down but if you get more than that you're better of just restarting. He's very beatable although it is a bit cheap.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭blaze1


    Not really a fan of boxing games, however.

    This is by far one of the best games i've played for a while, the story was great and found myself imersed in it.. Havent managed to get frost yet after the first couple of tries I gave up and went on to legacy.

    Started in LHW and then up to heavy weight. Last few fights have been 1st/2nd round ko's.... Beat tyson twice in the 2nd round which I was a bit suprised at tho.

    I'm not online at the mo so I've not tried that out but after reading the last few posts it doesn't sound like much fun.

    Got this recently and have been enjoying it but was playing my brother earlier and he just spammed the body for all our fights,I was raging.
    Whats an effective defense against this? I tried uppercuts but no luck,I could do the same and spam body too but that would be no fun

    Go this game and loved it - said I'd start off in easy mode and absolutely píssed through the game until the final fight - it's ridiculous the jump in difficulty!!

    Was sticking to what the coach was telling me - lasted 4 rounds before I went to jab the body and got knocked the fúck out :(

    I'll go at it again but it was annoying at the time!!

    Yeah basically just mirroring what others have said - it was a shock really because I got through the entire career mode so easily and then it was like having to fight the Russian from Rocky!!

    I was thinking, I'll finish this off and skip medium difficulty, challenge myself with hard but god above I got some land!! I'm all for games being tough but I've never seen anything this ridiculous!!

    Finished it last night - turned out to be fairly easy

    So might start again on hard or something

    Is the legacy mode worth checking out?

    Created a boxer - Big Bang Casey :pac: but didn't do any of the fights

    I found legacy mode alrite,ya just fight and level up your boxer really,sickening thing for me was got really far into it and then it started freezing on the loading screen of a fight...and I wasn't going starting again.
