PacMan & Hatton aren't the most foot nimble of boxers so maybe that has something to do with the "gravitational pull' that Seymour described. I'm hoping it's more of what Motown is saying, but this isn't a EA shining moment. After all, don't you use the demo to promote your game?

Guys, I just got back from Gamespot and the guy said they got an email from corporate that said the MS demo will be out 2pm est. We'll see by then.

I haven't played the demo yet but chances are it's probably the same build that we got to play. It could be 3 months old for all we know.

And while at the Event, someone else complained about the responsiveness to the controls. So a developer walked over, broke into the code, made a few tweaks and voila! It made a big difference.

I can tell you that while playing as Ali I was able to dance and move around the ring very well. His foot movement was a lot faster than a Tyson's or Haglars, I can tell you that.

The demo's going to be good to get people used to the controls, graphics, etc. It's a glorified commercial. I'd like to play the full version before passing judgment on this game.

Love the avatar by the way.

The guy at the Kenner, Louisiana store said the same thing.

I'd give the Fight Night Round 4 DEMO a 6 of 10 ... The game looks fine IMO ... the Foot speed issue people are having, I don't see ... Maybe because as the cam moves so does the direction you have to move your Boxer (i.e. Back isn't always Back) ... I don't have a problem with the amount of punches thrown but I do think the Boxers stamina should decrease faster (Hatton & Pac Man have thrown more than a 100 punches in a round before ... Not EVERY Round thou) ... My only grip, an unfortunate game killer IMO, is the Total Punch Control CRAP ... TOTAL Control my BUTT ... How does making Street Fighter Fireballs = HOOKS give me more control than having each BUTTON control the Boxers hands ... I was hoping the Button thing would ONLY be exclude from Ranked online matches ... that would just prevent me from playing online. WHY take away buttons? If I pay $60 for a game and I want to use the buttons let me its MY GAME. I still hold FNR3 tourney's with friends and other who think they are good and the TPC is rarely used. Out of the 40+ tourney’s I've held, 19 of which had 32 participants, the rest just had 16, I've only met 15 to 20 people that actually use that crap and NONE of them won. So unless they add the buttons back I see no reason to buy a Boxing game that I can throw punches in. Yes TPC is learnable but its is to flawed … Maybe change the name to Estimated Punch Control … I don’t think any REAL boxer EVER tried to throw an uppercut but threw a Hook or body blow instead … EVER!! Of course with practice people will get better but in the heat of a close fight … fingers flying … Hooks will turn to body blows … Uppercuts to Hooks for even the most experienced Button Pusher No I’m sorry I mean THUMB THIRWLER.

Always Pushin…
Buttons … just not in FNR4 LoL

DAAAMN...the CROWD is unreal in this game. momentum is HUGE...they were chanting Manny...Manny...Manny...then i caught Pac with some combos, & a HUGE uppercut...& the crowd started sounding like a SOCCER crowd...the Euros started that soccer chant... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhohhhhhhhhh...lmao
GREAT crowd interaction

That is all I'm trying to do is get used to the new controls. I even let Hatton knock me down so I can try to get better at getting up because on release day online is gonna be nuts. I'm still hitting the body when I want to go to the head. i've gotten better but it has cost me. I really like how quickly you can get off combinations though. I think I hit Hatton with a 5 punch combo to the head and body a la floyd/gatti it was pretty nice.

Yeah, I fumbled with that at first too. It's going to take everyone some time.

I admit that I would have liked a simpler scheme where punches had no arc's and you used a modifier for body shots. But it is what it is.

# 73 Kashanova @ 05/14/09 01:02 PM

I got my code from the store today, hopefully when i get home from work the Demo will work.

I liked it better like that as well. Can't wait to home to play. I played the ps3 version last night and the controls were very loose. I know the analog stick are a little tighter on the 360 so we'll see which I like better.

# 75 DaveDQ @ 05/14/09 01:09 PM

Some of you need to store your whining, crying and fussing about the controls and save it so you can whine, cry and fuss after DaveDQ knocks you to the mat for the KO....Balboa style.

# 77 JayBee74 @ 05/14/09 02:13 PM

Well, at 2:03 EST I tried the code and it DID NOT work. I rebooted the 360, tried it again and it still DID NOT work.

# 78 buttons0662 @ 05/14/09 02:19 PM

As I've stated before TPC Sucks IMO ... but it can be saved ... if instead of 3 O'Clock - 9 O'Clock, 5 O'Clock 7 O'Clock being hooks and Uppercuts to the body they were to the head and we could use the Body Modifier button to throw body shots problem solved!!!!

Just an Idea!!!

Buttons

# 79 RoyalBoyle78 @ 05/14/09 02:27 PM

well after watching videos from the demo, I'm too not impressed to much, from the vids fro pastaparde, the game looks like a slug fest, once again it doesn't look like it takes any skill, and I can just imagine online is going to be.

This was a first day purchase for me, now it's a maybe.

Your constant bad mouthing of the game just to do it gives you ZERO credibility.
That being said I'm not liking what I'm hearing.
