play the story mode game first to get you used to it then go online into world championship

I think legacy mode is pants

only problem with online in this version is that its not a level playing field and those who have had many fights will have built their boxers up. Likelihodd is you will get twatted your first few fights but eventually you will start to build up yourself and begin to mix it. You can even buy power ups for your fighters which is utter bollox if you ask me.

Don't waste your punches and don't throw power shots all the time. Personnaly I stick to countering and staying out of the way. I also play on total punch control with right stick and refuse to use buttons ! Shouldnt be allowed ! The thing is with the stick its near impossible to match the punch rate of a button basher - though I have noticed that if they dont knock you out in first 2-3 rounds they begin to tire, some drastically !

Are you on PS3 ?

Thanks mate.

I'm on x-box. I haven't set up an online pass yet - only been playing Tiger Woods so far. I'll do that though.

What are you doin H, get yourself online!

Seriously, when you do, let me know

I actually find Online fights to be a little too cheesy. Too many exploits and spam tactics for me. I much prefer the 'sim' feel of a fine-tuned AI

I did Story mode 1st then Legacy mode then a lil bit of OWC.

'Fight Now' has always been my main stay though...

Also, explore the download boxer/ boxershare(internet version) features to expand your roster. I currently have over 120 action figures boxers

when you train in legacy mode. . go with sparring , rest, sparring, rest.

you gain stats and xp point better and faster. . . i never paly onine. . im not going to pay more to play a human in another city somewhere in the world when i can have one right in the same room.


the tune up from ea have bothered the game play .. but its the best boxing game to date still. i want the next installment already.

there is also rumored that there is another boxing game in production . . i think its hbo boxing if i am not mistaken.

Had a little go this morning. First thoughts are it's to hard to get the correct punch, because there is such a fine difference on the analogue stick between punches. Also cannot figure out what my tactcis are yet, need to just play 'Fight Now' for a while to get used to the controls I guess. Don't think I am gonna be any good at this tho

Have you played any previous FN titles? If your used to thumbing out punches then it may take about 20 fights before you start to really get the hang of the new punch/ block system.
If not then I'm not sure but just bit by bit. The big plus is you are a boxing fan and so instinctively you'll start doing all the right things once you've figured out which way is up.

1st things first. Understanding your fighters ratings:
Two ratings systems. Athleticism & Skills.

Just a quick side note for the sake of orientating your a little ---> Incase you were wondering, the reason guys like Lennox Lewis & Vitali Kitschko have such low overall ratings (85ish) is because the overall ratings is affected mostly a fighters Athleticism (Speed, Strength etc) rather than a their skill. In their case, they do not have high speed, endurance, reflexes ratings.

Anyway most of the Athleticism ratings are like Base ratings and are further enhanced by the SKILL ratings. For example, a fighter may have 85 strength, which relates to his base punch power and blocking ability but then this is further elaborated on by his individual punch ratings and Blocking ratings.
It's worth looking at how a fighter's individual punch rating goes up, point by point. You'll see that gradually, the punch's power, speed & accuracy are all affected.

In regards to Skill Ratings like Chin & Heart; they relate to a fighters susceptibility to getting stunned, or suffering one punch KO's in relation to of how high their Toughness rating is.



It's worth understanding a fighters ratings, what they mean, how they limit a fighter and what they enable a fighter to do. But in no way is it the be all and end all. If none of what I have just said made any sense. Leave it for now. I just figured it would be a nice place to start from.
