^old thread
played the demo. the gameplay was a lot more realistic but I wasn't overly impressed by the character models.

Saw round three for sale the other day and was tempted to get it but know I'd stop playing as soon as this comes out. They say that the graphics are a step back but the gameplay is improved, which I think is a fair trade.

lame, I searched up titles for all variants of "Fight Night" and came up with nothing as far as the old thread goes. not much interest in this game it seems, surprising considering all the people who were on Undisputed's cock right off the bat, though boxing =/= UFC

So I played the demo today and...... was disappointed. its a completely new game and to me thats not a good thing... I also don't like how they force u to use the analogs and because of that it feels like Streetfighter instead of boxing. Constantly u have to do awkward circle motions to do punches that can hit spots u didnt want it to. It's very pretty but all they had to do to make a better game was remove parry and maybe slow the speed down a bit and add more boxers! Again (I HATE DOING DRAGONPUNCH MOTIONS TO PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE FACE!!)

Reminded me of Skate lol.

I can't stand right analogue stick being punches, i kept trying to move the camera and throwing punches and being like "why the fuck".

**Deejay** · 2009-05-29 11:27

Sorry button mashers, but analog is way easier to learn and makes the fighting a lot more realistic. With analog controls, you have to rely on the timing and placement of your punches as opposed to playing a contest of who can push the most buttons the fastest.

**Vilyon** · 2009-05-29 11:39

I never "button mash" and how is doing circle motions to punch people realistic? I want to box not pratice streetfighter moves...... I also like knowing exactly what type of punch I'm going to throw.

**Ghost_Wheel22** · 2009-05-30 17:26

I'm liking the more in-depth mechanics but ditching buttons for analog is a step back. Way back. Back enough for me to not purchase it despite Tyson being in it.

Anybody playing this? I haven't played online yet, but I'd like to break my cherry on some BGers. Been playing against my nephew but he is a stomach spammer. I can still knock him down but its annoying how fast your stamina gets drained in this game.

**Deejay** · 2009-06-26 18:37

I got this for 360. I'm liking it so far. Got my face smashed online though, lol.

**Vade** · 2009-06-26 18:59

I've got it for 360, and I'm having a lot of fun with it! I hate that they took out the button options, but it's still a lot of fun.

**Darkhearted** · 2009-06-27 02:16

I can't believe so many people actually use the buttons. Buttons are easy mode and remove any challenge to the game at all. The only time I used buttons in round 3, was to make the combo dummy stupid easy to make sure not to waste precious training sessions.. Also, I would put it on for my 9 year old cousin so he could last a couple rounds instead of getting knocked out in 30 seconds.

It's not even that the analogs are challenging, they just aren't retardly easy.

**Null** · 2009-06-27 13:18

I've always preferred the sticks over the buttons anyway.

**izembo** · 2009-06-27 17:19

you'd be surprised, we had several people cancel preorders because they couldnt use buttons

**Null** · 2009-06-27 19:34

The sticks are what made Fight Night unique, what did they expect?
