adjustments that will be made:
Punch Accuracy Reduction: Overall accuracy will be reduced and accuracy tracking a moving target will be reduced. Users will notice lower connect percentages and a better ability to use head movement defensively.
Hit Reactions Intensity Increased: Bigger hit reactions across the board and increased punch offsetting – i.e. punches thrown off target when a boxer is hit in the act of punching.
Combination Punching Adjustments: Bigger difference in combination speed between boxers with low and high Combination Skill rating.
Improved Weave Input Detection: Reduced the instance of weaves happening unintentionally.
Health Loss Adjustment: Regular punches do more damage and combination punching is more effective.
Stamina Recovery Adjustment: Less stamina recovered between rounds.
Perfect Block Counter Window Disabled: Pending simultaneous release of Tuner Set.
Opponent Counter Freeze: Fixed a bug where the a Perfect Block would sometimes freeze the opponent’s inputs.
Late Guard: Fixed a bug where the guard went back up late if you threw more than one punch out of the block.

If they deliver this tuner set as promised, I might just keep the game around after all. I really wanted to enjoy it but the lack of punch offsetting was nothing short of infuriating. I think that's a not so often discussed yet huge reason the connect percentages are too high. You lose the ability to defend when you throw a punch. Once you've thrown your punch, your opponent can start his punch, yours hits first, but doesn't have any effect on your opponents coming back at you. You see his coming, hit the block button, but have to wait for your animation to end. The end result being you both land. This happens dozens of times per round. I won't even get started on the perfect block BS.
So if they actually do what they're saying they will do, I have no reason to doubt that this will change the game completely and make it the best boxing game of all time, because the foundation is absolutely there. These additions (and subtractions) stand to make a lot of people, even the harshest of critics like myself, very, very happy with the game.

Prior to the games release we were told repeatedly stun blocking wasn't in the game.
So why should we believe them now?

So what about things like
^^These issues need to be addressed too 
As far as gameplay is concerned, that sounds like a good start
With Perfect Blocking Gone....I don't think Id be opposed to turning up the bock strength/detection
It should be hard to land punches, but when you do they should be felt

That tuner will be awesome if they get it to work right. then for the patch I hope they fix face discoloration, maybe getting sliders to work for both systems.
Very nice. I look forward to this, especially punch accuracy. Removing perfect block is going to open things up to where you can't just stand there and block/punch out of the block.

sounds like they will be addressing every single gameplay issue I've been hoping for, this is great news
like someone said, hopefully they address the other non-gameplay problems as well especially the ones dealing with CAB's (cuts/swelling 99's & 74 slot limit)

The one thing I worry about is that if they don't increase block strength body spamming will be in the rise because it will be way more effective.

CAB Cuts and Swelling are not "locked" at 99 they can be edited...unless this is a OWC/Gym thing.

I think I'll take a break from H2H online until this comes out. Odd question but can you reset your record? Mine stinks. I hate it. Might have been a few wins better if not for the game flaws.
I've said this before but the selection of boxers needs a change. I'm in heavyweight. Guy stays on Hopkins so I go down in weight & pick Jones to be fair. He immediately takes Tyson! I was winning but couldn't avoid the power. We should be able to agree to a match before it's locked in.

The easy solution is to make it so you get knocked silly if you are leaning your head in and spamming the jab.
I was playing aginst the AI on Goat last night with the power up a click or 2. Belive me, you did not want to try to go to the body for too long or it was lights out. I was trying to steal a few rounds at the end, by throwing some flurries. I went up top and tried to give a boom boom boom to the midsection. I saw the canvas twice in a row before I abandoned that strategy. You have to step in, get your 2 shots in and step out. Even when you have the AI on the ropes, you stay trying to go to the body too much, an upperuct or hook will end your night.

They are limiting the jab spam Dave, to the head and the body, but it's the hooks to the body that I worry about now.
