What's Your LIKES & DISLIKES on FN4

[Mark TKO]

this is one of best sport sims i have ever played but I do have gripes which I hope are ironed out in next years version.

These are :-

i) as Miles said I don't want to fight button players. The speed they throw punches is ridiculous.

ii) the guys online who can keep throwing punch after punch round after round and never tire. i don't get that one !

iii) glue fighters. Not sure how they do it but they can just stick to you and you can't get away (this might be a weakness on my part mind !)

iv) the fact that it gets harder to get up the more times you get knocked down eg rather than how hard you are hit and your health bars. I can never get up a second time no matter how much stamina i have left ! This means I have to fight on backfoot should I suffer an early knockdown eg in first round. Whats stupid is that if you get to last round with no health or stamina left and suffer your first knockdown you can get up dead easy !!

v) I have said it for 9 years now . Since Knockout Kings 2001 there has been no one punch knockout feature ! If you catch someone sweet as Martinez did Williams on Saturday the fight should be over and theres no way they should be able to get up. This is a major part of boxing and one of the reasons I love the sport. Why they dont carry it across to boxing video games is beyond me. Every fight I have online these days I know its either going to points or will end in 8-10th round when someone has low stamina. Lacks realism


On saying all that I still think its a brilliant game !

I have all the same points exactly.

forgot to add they should have a 10-10 round

all rounds are scored 10-9 for some reason and I have won \ lost pretty even fights by lopsided decisions because of this !

I did once see a 10-10 round on a scorecard but that was it - just once !

When playing against the computer, it is so frustrating that defensive fighters become offensive fighters. For example, if I'm Hatton and the computer is Malignaggi, the computer will always stand and trade, rather than box off the back foot. EA really need to fix that.
