fight night round 4

After a year in our uni house of playin fight night round3 on ps3 I stumped up the cash for round 4 (on xbox) today and I have to say I'm disappointed, you dont seem to have anywhere near as much control over your fighter as before, I looked at a review of it today before I bought it and the guy said that the counter punchin thing can be a bit on the computer favoured side and from the few fights I just had it seems to be almost completely one sided, you cant counter anywhere near as well as you could on the old one.

Has anyone else found this game lacking in everything except the graphics? When we get the new pro evo it takes a while to adjust and score goals etc. but this doesnt feel like that, I'm half tempted to take it back tomorrow and buy the old one, save a bit of money and all.

glad I'm not the only one, I've just turned mine back on and its frozen at the Fight Night logo twice in a row, what a joke this. Definitely gonna take this back I think, the old one was amazing, still be plenty of people left online to whoop I dont doubt.

Anyone else have anythin positive to say about it?

have to say I've been playin most of the night and it definitely is gettin better, it still doesnt feel as though you have as much control etc. but it is better than not bein able to do anythin at all like it was before.

Gonna have another fight then bed I reckon. Peace out y'all.

I dont think you should use the patch so you can button mash, it takes away the entire point of the game, without the sticks its just pretty graphics and nothing else.

With the sticks you can get mint at it and have realistic fights, on FN3 I could actually do combos that I wanted, and I mean like if someone said jab jab hook straight dodge straight or summat I could do it in one go, on this one I can now move a little better and things but still not got anywhere near as much control over my throws, also when you play online against someone else it seems to be a lot more evenly suited in the counter punch area.

Although one bad thing about online play is like when you play Pro Evo online and everyone was always just Inter, on this one everyone is just Ali in Heavyweight and either Sugar Ray in middleweight.

Still debating whether to take it back but I am enjoying it a lot more now though, I know I'll enjoy FN3 quite a bit if I go swap it for that, but if I keep this I might enjoy it as much as 3 the first time round.
