Fight Night Round 4 PRESS CONFERENCE (answers all questions about control configs)

[SalvaDominicano]

The only button mashers that have ever beat me would always go left hook right hook left hook right hook over and over to the head or body the second they had an opening. When button mashers would play legit and not just constantly do the same annoying bull**** over and over I would dominate them.

What's sad is that you can be beaten by a button masher who constantly throws left hook right hook to the body and head and you come here and complain. That wouldn't be a problem if you defense was better. Ever heard of parrying??

I'm not a button masher but a button user also. Those of you who have actually played against me know that. What exactly is a button masher? Can you really be a button masher when stamina will eventually wear out thus making your punches slower and less effective? I understand how someone can be upset at those who use the cheap little power jabs and crosses aka ali, taylor, and roy because i've gone through that but i've never met a button masher who actually posed a problem for me.

They'll just bring the buttons back for the next game, it'll be more reason for everyone to go out and buy Round 5....... suckers.

[Hitman932]

I use both as well and I am sad to see the buttons go cause as someone said before the TPC isnt exact and too often you end up throwing a punch you didnt mean to throw.

[2nd Round KO]

Late in the fight your parry isn't as quick. I usually break people down and KO them late in the fight. If I too am worn out also, if I get parried the left hook right hook left hook right hook can land. My defense is disgusting. My friends refuse to play me because how often I parry and counter. So there isn't anything more I can do.

[BrooklynBomber]

Buttons were real useful if you liked to fight on the outside, I like when I pressed a button and it was a jab and not something else. And if you cant deal with the guys who use buttons, it's not their fault, its you who cant play.

[2nd Round KO]

It requires a hell of a lot more skill to use the sticks then the buttons. It's much more satifsying to destroy people for 12 straight rounds with sticks. When you use buttons you fall into predictable rhythms and combinations. With the TPC you can really mix it up and get creative. The buttons are lame. End of story.

I don't care anymore anyways, half the boxers in the game don't even look like their counter-parts in real life. I'm done responding to these topics filled with 12 year old *******s. ****ing little kids I could back-hand and you would be knocked out cold.

I don't really care either way. But you take this **** a touch too seriously.

In other words you ****** at the game.

[2nd Round KO]

I'm pretty sure if you aren't one of those l-hook r-hook l-hook r-hook mashers I could destroy you in one round.

I use to hate TCP too in FNR3. What change my mind is that learning it is like learning boxing in real life. Boxers have to go in the gym and work on developing punches and putting effective combos together along. Timing is also something a boxer has to learn. Now you can learn it somewhat with pressing buttons but with pressing buttons, the learning curve is real easy (That's why most people hate that its not in the game). With TCP, you have to go to training and put in WORK to get good at punching, JUST LIKE A BOXER HAS TO IN REAL life. Boxers put a lot of time and effort into being affective and its nice to see game developers recognize that and allow gamers too also. If you put in the work and are a true fan of boxing, you will really like TCP.

Nothing is more satisfying than putting in a lot of work and time on combo's, or mastering certain punches and finally being able to enjoy all your hard work when you play online or against another person.
