However, I have created a spreadsheet where I type in the username of my opponents and sort them by category. I have Abuser, Competitive and Quitter. When I go into WC mode I open my laptop and make sure the guys I fight are positive experiences. Matches last pretty long now, making time of the essence. It's just not worth going up against people that are going to ruin your experience.

Are you on the PS3 or 360? If you're on Xbox Live, there is the option of feedback after each match. I choose "avoid player" for ealry quitters or people who play like overall morons. There's also "prefer player" for players you feel are playing the way you enjoy. Just an FYI that the option is there so you wouldn't have to do it manually (unless you prefer it).

Any 360 owners that want to play sometime, my gamertag is "jsimas74". I'm always looking for sim matches.

I do the same thing. From the looks of it the system works as designed.

I do that and it does work. I like having their name in front of me too so it brings up some memory of who they are.

That's a really good idea. You should post this spreadsheet!

I have fought three guys online and it is light years better. There is still some punch/block spamming, spinning and hay-spamming (sometimes all in one fight), but it is def. beatable now.

My first fight was my edited Liston (88 ovr) vs. a 6'8" Bruce Lee CAB. He spun and threw a lot of haymakers until he got tired of my jab and quit.

The second was a RJJ vs. Calzagne. This guy took Joe C. and intermittently spun and block flicked, but not so long it affected his stamina. I lost by decision.

The 3rd guy was in WC mode and he mostly spammed, which wasn't an issue. I am just rusty and still learning to adapt to the PS3 controls. He was ahead on all cards 8 rounds to 1 when I took an intentional DQ to take my dog out. It sounds like a cop out, but when she tells you 'I need to pee', you better get moving!

The jab works better, not enough but better, and there are still people averaging 90+ punches a rouns, but not without a penalty. I give this patch a huge thumbs up.

Well last night I crossed a cheese move in WC that made me want to break this guys legs. I am not positive on how he built his fighter. But I am just guessing all his points went to head movement and any other attribute that helps with the counter windows. He literally hit me with ONLY counter window shots the whole match. Not only was it often but it was almost every single punch I threw would open up a counter punch window for him. Like I said I did not look over his ratings but all I can say is I have NEVER faced something like this. It was crazy. It got to the point where I just ran from him for like 3 rounds throwing no punches just to frustrate him. Basically a stab at him for making such a boring excuse of a fighter. This guy was even getting counter window shots on me when I even through body punches. It was one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. My other 4 or 5 matches were great. Some spammers that went down easy after a few rounds of them wasting punches and a couple sim guys. All in all for having the game so long and this is one of the few cheese things I have come across of. I am happy with the patch so far.

Hey gentlemen, I really hate to ask, but I can't look through the whole thread. Is the game better now from the patches? I only played it pre patch. I liked it, but it lacked a lot. Im thinking about buying it now and just wanted to see if its worth it. Thanks!
