Just bought FNC - any tips?

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

Lol - yeh need to get online. Only had my X-box a few weeks and have been playing Tiger Woods (which is awesome btw)

online play has improved Jim since the last patch. spamming not as effective


give it another go

things that annoy me still are :-

- the removal of the one punch knockouts
- the same old shit with getting up. First time is easy, second time not so, third impossible etc...

I fought a guy other day and lost as didnt get up second time. He had got up 3 times so I assumed I had won. Was stunned when ge got up.

Even if a fighter has no stamina left or health and gets floored for first time in last round he still gets up easy ! grrrrrrrrrrr
