This is the direction EA has taken FN4 so you either get on board, learn the sticks, and enjoy a heck of a boxing game or don't buy it. It's not like EA is going to change the game 6 weeks away from launch because some guys don't have the patience to learn the sticks.

Maybe they wont change the scheme, but if enough people stay away from the game and maybe purchase UFC instead, than EA will either take note and change the scheme back to buttons/TPC in the next FN installment or just not have the finanacial means to make another FN. Why do people get upset when possible consumers discuss a very evident problem with the game?? If you can honestly tell me that through 12 rounds of boxing using TPC you don't have one accidental punch thrown due to TPC, I will shut up and just try to learn the control scheme better.

What's the problem with the game? Does the game not work? Eliminating buttons was done for a reason. EA didn't think they were benefical for the game. I'm sure this was a decision that wasn't just made one day by the roaming janitor in the building.

This is almost the same carbon copy complaint EA ran up against when they announced the new stick for their EA NHL game. People hated it, they couldn't get used to it. It was the end of the world for every EA hockey player in the world. Now all i hear is rave reviews about it and how people couldn't go back to the buttons because the stick is so much better.

.....i knew this would happen....all the button guys are on fire right now....

the truth is .. the game was meant to be played on analog...thats why they were the default controls on FN3.....and now a better analog system for FN4

i also find it funny that some folk were bashing 2k's sub par prizefighter for the buttons saying it was the primitive way....now im hearing the exact opposite on FN4....

to me it dosent matter what control you use ...just as long as it dosent put any one at a disadvantage....keep the playing field leveled and fair

bottom line....you have to learn the game....keep practicing..its only the demo

Yes, they've brought this feature back in. Something like FN 2004 where your cabs showed up randomly in career mode. Its in.

Yup. It is what it is. I know button players are ticked and I understand it. But EA isn't going to change it so everyone's going to have to adapt.

For my own personal tastes, I'm fine with Analog, but I still think it could have been done better to the point where it might have been easier to 'pick-up-and-play' with less, or no, arcs to any of the punch movements.

is it me, but where is the pop on the punches?
