EA SPORTS™ announced today its initial Downloadable Content (DLC) plan for FIGHT NIGHT Round 4. Recently named the Game Critic Awards “Best Sports Game of E3 2009”, FIGHT NIGHT Round 4 has been winning over reviewers since its release on June 23rd. 

The first DLC pack, which will be available for free to both Xbox 360® and Playstation®3 users by early August, will include a new training gym, new gameplay sliders, as well as a host of new equipment that can be used for outfitting boxers. Xbox 360 users will also receive an exclusive alternate version of Sugar Ray Leonard in their first DLC pack, courtesy of Pizza Hut.

EA SPORTS™ will also be releasing a free downloadable game update by early September that will allow gamers to use face buttons on the Xbox 360 and PS3 game controllers to throw punches, hooks, uppercuts and haymakers.

“The depth and variety of new content we have planned this summer is going to make one of the most critically acclaimed games on the market even better,” said senior producer, Dean Richards.  “Among the new content in development, our new button control scheme will give fans a choice for how they want to throw punches in the game.  We strongly believe that the refined Total Punch Control is the most intuitive way to throw punches in Fight Night Round 4, but we also want fans of the franchise to have an option.”

PLEASE make it illegal to use Button Controls online. It is seriously goign to take away one of the best parts of the game - the skill. Sticks require skills, buttons require mashing.

TheDemolitionDan said:

July 7, 2009 4:10 PM

That sucks. Why do you guys hve to add buttons the game is doing much better than expected even without buttons. Ugh, now there are going to be button mashers online cheating there way up. Could there be an option online where you can see if they are a button masher?

TheDemolitionDan said:

July 7, 2009 4:11 PM

Also, why does the X Box get an exlusive version of SRL and PS3 doesn't? That's not fair the PS3 should get something exlusive that the XBox can't get either.

This button control scheme is terrible news.  This now means that all of the button-mashers will be able to dominate online AND versus gameplay.  Fight Night wasn't meant for anything but pure analog action.  You are doing a disservice to all of the true fans of the sweet science(of Fight Night) by allowing this abomination.  

BLAZ2006 said:

No button mashing Please.......Come EA stick to your guns

biggestfan7 said:

July 7, 2009 6:21 PM

Thank you very VERY much for adding buttons!!!!!!!! Great!!!!!! We love U EA SPORTS!!!! Thank u!!!

PLEASE don't take button control from online games, COZ Skilled Player can play with buttons and sticks.Really skilled persons can win fight with 4 punches in round 1. And there are such a players in there....

But for unskilled people, who are the most players of fnr4 will be playing only with buttons online. Me, I play only online. The game u past thru very fast.....and then? Yeap, u go online for one year minimum. And if you played with buttons before, it is easier to NOT to play FNR4, and other upcoming FNR if there is NO buttons control for ONLINE game modes.  

any tym7 said:

July 7, 2009 6:26 PM

i wasnt going to buy the game after playing the demo but if buttons come out i will but only if you can use buttons online though im not paying 90 bucks for a game i cant play online so ill wait and see .

biggestfan7 said:

July 7, 2009 6:27 PM

and one more, the all ps started with buttons controlled games, so we couldnt play ea games with sticks. sticks came not that long, but ea games are also coming... It will be unfear if button players want be able to play ONLINE with stick players. If it will be so, please change ONLINE game mode in FNR4, into Online Only for stick players. And online for buttons players only. It will be democracy! Obama GO GO GO!!!! Coz by living online only for stick players, will be so booring!

July 7, 2009 7:30 PM

 I was a button  user before we were force to learn to use the analogs, but  I learned to use the analogs and don't

know if when  the dlc button control comes out will i use it, but!!!! now I have the option and thats the point , freedom of choice!! one more thing there once was button smashers but they evolved to stick smashing , its still the same thing with the stick or buttons , someone will use the same punch again and again and again until they make you weak and then try to knock you out , (hence stick smashing) there is no skill what so ever. ITS A COMPUTER GAME !! its not two real people,

you want realistic boxing meet me in the alley. some gamers will play as if they were really boxing while wanna be gamers will get desprate and  and play it like there playing mario brother and there trying to defeat  the boss of that level

by using patterns , so enjoy it for what it is.

jyredbird said:

i agree with flate piece the buttons should not be used in online play but in lagacy mode or regular play only.  so sticks only online please.. thanks for listening

Keegan_Jacobs said:

July 7, 2009 8:59 PM

for the love of god, why add gameplay sliders FOR OFFLINE ?  its the online gameplay where fighters are throwing so many punches to the body and upstairs without getting tired

dont need sliders to be changed just ONLINE  IN ROUND STAMINA , please dont let fighters throw so many punches constantly

I also call bsw on the xbox exclusive  why should anything be exclusive. p.s. way more fighters  please you could a lot of current and " retired or not so much retired fighters

seemeonTV said:

July 8, 2009 1:42 AM

its funny people complain about button mashers because all the time when i get online i feel people do the same thing with buttons as they do with the analog just throw wild punches so buttons or analog i believe skill will still when out no mattter if its analog or the buttons anyway

seemeonTV said:

July 8, 2009 1:46 AM

Buttons vs analog this argument is funny but people throw wild with both controls and i truly believe skilled players will always win out. me myself would rather use the buttons so when i throw a hook i know im going to throw a hook and not an uppercut

Tmurda84 said:

July 8, 2009 5:41 AM

Since Buttons are coming back, Can TPC users get back the old parry system too stop button mashers. It would be fair, but i guess its not gonna happen because TPC users dont cry as much as button mashers. It would be nice too add that feature too EA Fight Night most loyal fans which are the TPC users. Most of these button mashers were going too return the game lol, and they are getting back what they wanted.

All im asking is for another defensive feature....thats all. If yall dont do it, it would be fine thanks anyway. I won't return the game like these button mashers threatened too do. Plus TPC users, look for the challenge anyway.

Brane Bashur said:

July 8, 2009 6:26 AM

Very smart EA. Wait til September to update the controls, that way, whoever got the game when it came out, won't have time to send it back within 90 days. I will be sending mine back anyway and will repurchase it after you update the controls. I hope everyone else does this too. It should not take that long. I have seen Amish put up a barn in a few days and you can't update a game in 3 months?????? C'mon..............

So when do we get Mayweather and DeLahoya? THAT should be our PS3 update.

dnice0711 said:

July 8, 2009 7:54 AM

Mashing is Mashing!!!! People can stick mash, just as well and Button mash!!! I think the game needs the buttons.  How can the 3 previous games have it, but not the 4th?  How do you tell a kid that u have to do a certain motion with the analog to play? Kids aren't ready for that. They need the buttons. Thats just on argument.  I can use either Config.  I just prefer the buttons because it lets you control the punch you wanna throw. With the TPC its not that precise to me!!! SO Im just glad they are gonna give you the option on what you want to use.

Now!!! Whats up with these Fighters!!!! Where the hell is Oscar, B-hop, Mayweather, and all the other great fighters.if you have to pay them pay them!!! Do you know how many more ppl would buy the game if you all had mroe fighters.  Mayweather was on the 2nd game, and then u couldnt get him for 3 or 4? and oscar and b-hop they were in the last 2 but not 4? Who's doing the recruiting!!! Hire me i'll get all the greats in the game.

Find me online----dnice0711

FASEOFMARS said:

July 8, 2009 9:28 AM

really i dont care if people get the buttons.. really in this game you can only throw 3 hit combo's then you need to step back for a second.. and if somone thinks they are gonna be able to throw more because of the buttons their having a laugh.. my advice to someone up against a punch spammer or a button basher is to move your feet and counter with your jab,, you will wins rounds that way and your oppenent will eventually tire then you can put him down in the late rounds.. i do this alot with people that spam punches.. they get so mad because i remain so calm.. i love it lol

dabeast99 said:

July 8, 2009 9:51 AM

all this talk about button smashing i mean really if youre good youre good a hook is a hook is a hook no matter what you do to throw it so if youre good then youre throwing what you are supposed to be throwing anyway so what does it matter i can throw 5 hit combos with the stick and stop moving and watch the last three punches land so what difference will pushing buttons for the same result make? people deserve to choose the way they want to play the game and if you think its cheating then maybe you need to work on your defense a little most people i see now only bash away at you and the buttons arent in the game yet so put the buttons in and let everyone make the choice EA for the most part has done a great job but you cant please everyone no matter what you do

Kev-Weed86 said:

keep buttons on-line. it is already an unfair advantage with all the daft spamming that goes on and i think buttons would help to put those begginers in there place!!!!!

boxingfan said:

July 8, 2009 11:44 AM

WELL DONE E.A. by adding button configs into the game you have just put the icing on the cake.Fight night 2004 was (IS ) such a cracking game,if you use the same button configs as that then this game will be TRULY great.

Ignore all the whinning stick slappers,if they want to compete on line thay will just have to learn how to play with skill,AND USE BUTTONS.Thank you again for giving people what thay realy want,CHOICE.

July 8, 2009 3:51 PM

Yeah!  For all ignorant stick flickers the game just got even. They never should have released it without options, and then you wouldn’t be whining at all. Total Punch Control is a one-sided joke.  Buttons just makes the playing field even. Good Job EA! Now I can finally box like I want to. Not the way you want me to.  For all you whiners crying about madcatz devices, its super easy for EA to put in software like COD 4 has so you can’t use them or you get booted for obscene amount of button presses. On top off that the game is built around stamina. So button mashers have to be  aware of their punch output. Stick Flickers+ Button Mashers+ = Gamers, that’s what we are!  We just so happen to have our own gaming preferences and so I say again thank you EA for acknowledging that.

cyber_guy2001 said:

July 8, 2009 6:31 PM

Good job!! I mastered the FN 3 but with the FN4 is really slow to fight back. I complained several times about this dum total control punch you can't move it fast and you do it the boxer doesn't move.. I've tried to master training with the sparring. finally I gave up I called EA sport several times to complain about this. Thanx EA

PhillyPheen said:

Beerded 1 said:

July 9, 2009 8:37 AM

Players with no skill hide behind frantic gameplay regardless of the control config.   Because I'm a big boxing fan and this is my favorite sports franchise I was devastated when EA announced that there would be no buttons.  I bought the game anyway, and began to assimilate.  Even though I always feel at a disadvantage playing with the stick(not always sure that the punch I want to throw will be the one thrown), I consider myself a thinking fighter when I play the game, and frantic "stick swingers" I eventually figure out, and destroy.  The same goes for "button mashers".  It will definitely be interesting to see how the online dynamic changes.  "Stick Swingers" already know that they will lose more fights because they know they've been beating players that are more skilled than they are, but not as good in Street Fighter!(which is what this game feels like at times).  If you are man, or woman enough to admit it, you know there will "always" be someone who is just simply better that you.  These superior players could be from "either" discipline, and when they smash you with undeniable game, you see how this game was really meant to be played. Remember kids... "True Skills" expose all.  Bring on the fair fight!

conflict please dont be lame tpc and buttons was never fair. Button always had the upper hand. use some brain if stick ad buttons are the same why woud F1 User use button to change gear rather then sticks ??

bigben2021 said:

July 9, 2009 10:39 AM

I honestly don't care about them putting in buttons. I personally hate the buttons, and love the stick, but i'm sick of all these people crying about it. Thank God it can stop. I think they should either have seperate leaderboards for people who use buttons and people who use sticks. Then you can have buttons vs buttons or vice versa. Or they should be able to indicate which control scheme they are using, just so we can know. Whatever, not a big deal to me.

WTQ26 said:

July 9, 2009 12:41 PM

Great job with the button news........ I don't know why mostly all the stick users are complaining about "Mashers"......they're also "Stick Mashers" .    It's not fair.... I started out with Buttons....I  like... so many FNR4 Fans want to play with BUTTONS!!!!!  Stick People are just use to Stick (Tony Hawk Games Etc.) I like Buttons .....so what's next EA's gonna put MADDEN 10 Through the ringer with BUTTONS ?

justplyn said:

July 9, 2009 2:32 PM

I for one am glad the buttons are coming back. I'm tired of throwing a hook with the TPC only to get an uppercut throw a jab and get a straight right etc. etc, etc. TPC is at times is a total punch guess you can only hope you get what you ask for. I don't know of any fighter that moves his arm to throw a hook and throws an uppercut instead. Thanks EA for listening to the people, but do know that I will not lay down my hard earn $60.00 until the DLC is ready. I think we should all think the same way. So if you want my money the sooner the DLC ready the sooner you get it.

Question... Why do people say that you can mash buttons?  This isnt friggen tekken using eddie gordo.  Its boxing for christ sake.  You have to deliver combos properly or it won't be fluid.  On that note you can shake the stick from side to side like a wild person the same as you could press a button.  So "mashing" doesn't even make sense.  Good job adding the buttons.  I do like the new control scheme but we should be able to decide.  If you don't like playing people with the button control scheme go into the "analog only" room like fight night 3.

Kovati from New Zealand..Peace

July 11, 2009 7:47 AM

Can taunts be included in the dlc? I kinda missed those from round 3 lol. I wish there was no buttons, but I guess EA had to since so many people were crying over it. I hate stick mashing as well so maybe something can be done about the tremendous amount of spamming taking place in online matches. Nevertheless still a great game EA!

footballjersey99 said:

July 11, 2009 9:55 AM

You people who want buttons are a joke...They make this game to be realistic not some arcade like crappy game...If you can't handle a analog stick that you're just plain stupid...I think the game is perfect as is and the difficulty is fine for the game...If you're bad at an analog stick and you're a "button smasher" just transfer you're cheating self to a "analog smasher" you can still be a jerk to everyone too....It's a freaking button people...jeez

somma72x72 said:

Thank you very VERY much for adding buttons!!!!!!!! Great!!!!!! We love U EA SPORTS!!!! Thank u!!!

OH AND STICK USERS BE AFRAID.... BY YOUR COMMENTS I CAN SEE YOU ARE!!

 OH AND IF WE ARE (SMASHERS) LOL   OUR STAMINA SHOULD BE GONE AFTER WE SMASH FOR  HALF A ROUND....

ITS OK.. JUST GET READY TO DROP IN RANKING!    

  HAHAHAHA

  THANKS EA   A  FAITHFULL FIGHT NIGHT FAN...    CANT WAIT FOR THE UPDATES!

toppugilist said:

July 11, 2009 5:53 PM

Stick swinging, button mashing, it's all the same. Stick swinging and button mashing is very small part of what it takes to be good at the game.  

bizzarks@hotmail.com said:

July 11, 2009 10:18 PM

Well, I guess we have no choice but to deal with buttons again. Just look at it this way, the more random punches thrown, the more chances you have to throw a counter punch, which is the way to win fights anyways. Regardless of the controls you use to play the game, the more skilled counter puncher is ALWAYS going to come out on top. So I hope that I get to fight all of these "Button or Stick Mashers" so I can MASH on their faces with some counter punches.

bru1n-4-l1f3 said:

July 11, 2009 11:12 PM

Please dont allow the button sheme online cause i used 2 button smash when fight round 2  outfirst came and it was nt fun for anybody now there will be little 7 year olds smashing buttons and why does the xbox get someting the PS3 doesnt if u ask me thats straight BULL

Hadanokuroi said:

July 12, 2009 4:57 AM

THANK YOU EA !!!! I have been playing this franchise for a long time and I can play with stick or buttons, my thing is the consumer should have the choice, even more so with the price of the game.

Lastly, all the crying stick users if you can really play the game or have any skill at all you should be able to easily beat any BUTTON MASHER!. I know with the sticks or buttons in round 3 I would KILL button mashers all day long. So quit crying and learn how to play the game. Skill beats mashing every time. AND EVERYONE WHO USES BUTTONS IS NOT A BUTTON MASHER!!!!

altastic1 said:

July 12, 2009 5:44 AM

they should make it 3 minutes a round and 12 rounds for on-line!!!! REAL BOXING! even if 10 rounds...make it 3 FULL mins....grrrrr

July 12, 2009 8:13 AM

Thank you EA for having the opiton of using the Buttons I was just wondering where is Oscar Delahoya and Benard Hopkins or Mayweather but I love the game anyways if you ever need any Testers please let me know Thank you

YScarrz said:

July 12, 2009 8:02 PM

if u want new boxers, download off the download boxers eg mayweather, de la hoya etc (only 4 star rating boxers tho lol)

if yr gna add face controls make sure there dissallowed for online use!!!!!!!! to many games have failed in the past with this feature, stick with what you brought new with sticks! it works. can't wait for the dlc.

Gussmao said:

July 13, 2009 9:22 PM

Just give us many more boxers to downlaod....

Here's two:

Kostya Tszyu only one of many greats....you put Anthony Mundine in....The Man who fights bums to make a name for himself.  What about paying homage to Jack Johnson for something abiet different.  He was only the first black heavy weight champion of tghe world and pioneer of the science of boxing boxing.

Not to fazed about the buttons come back I prefer using the stick.  But would like a buttin to hold going to the body for hooks and uppercuts.  

dcc_7 said:

July 14, 2009 5:39 AM

Buttons v stick comes down to personal choice, whatever you prefer - go with it.

I think the biggest issue that needs to be addressed is your fighter's weight when you move up a division.  You wouldn't stay at 147lbs and fight in the light heavy weight class.  This needs to be fixed.

Overall, great game.

StainableDog said:

July 14, 2009 8:55 AM

The simple solution to this entire stick button debate is just to have an option to select you want to match up with sticks only, buttons only or any when you search for an online opponent. Similar to the way SF IV lets you pick several criteria when searching for online games.

BIG CT ONER said:

July 15, 2009 4:02 PM

No button config online, please. Otherwise, we have just all wasted our time trying to master the TPC with accurate hooks and uppercuts only for someone to come in and start throwing perfect hooks and uppercuts 100% of the time without actually having gone through the pains to actually master it properly, that's bullshit.

Ya'll chill out, button configuration is a good thing so that you are precise with which punch you want to throw. With the sticks there are a lot of stray punches that you were not tryna throw. As far as button mashers go, EA Sports did a good job of making it a skill game regardless. The cure for button mashers are two words: Counters and Parrys. Using skilled techniques such as these will help to destroy button mashers. I for one would have been dissappointed if EA omitted button controlled punching from Fight Night 4 and am still slightly peeved that it is not on there originally. But thanks for the download!

I agree with the comments that has a good bit of sense any person can do button controls and you do not need what other people say "skill" to do the TPC, I played all four of the games so i know what im talking about, button controls add to the enjoyment to a video game if a video game is not enjoyable then whats the point to playing the game, and also if the people at EA listened to the hard headed people then they wouldn't have the best selling boxing franchise in the world, they're not stupid they know what their doing, the people want button controls, let them, what the TPC fanatics want is a dictatorship, almost forcing the other players to not buy the game at all, EA did the right thing they ACTUALLY LISTEN.

First off, I agree with EA on the option. I don't button mash and I still K.O. suckas! Using buttons allow for more accurate combos. I'm down with that. If the buttons didn't come into play, you'd still have stick jerkers who just wiggle the analogs! Thanks EA. P.S. Holyfield, De La hoya, Mayweather, Hopkins, Bowe???? Future DLC maybe??? Please???

PLEASE make it illegal to use Button Controls online. It is seriously goign to take away one of the best parts of the game - the skill. Sticks require skills, buttons require mashing.

PLEASE DO THIS:::ITS VERY IMPORTANT; OR LESS GIVE IT AN OPCION TO CREATE A GAME ONLY WITH STICKS,  THIS IS THE BEST BOXING GAME EVER, TRY TO KEEP IT LIKE THAT...THANKS FOR CREATING FIGHT NIGHT 4, IT ROCKS, REGARDS TO EASPORTS TEAM!!! THANKS!!!

As being actually ranked in the top 100 in world championship mode i would say buttons are a great addition and should have been there in the first place its fine that u didnt add them gave me more time too learn the sweet science :)

Sticks only or a filtering option.....

The game is perfect got perfect reviews....

Someone threw left straights a whole fight online not one single other punch....

He had huge reach....

I still dropped him but never saw my face so beaten....

because spammers can now button mash it is gonna break the game....

The only way for real choice is to chose to filter out button plays....

Have seperate diviions at at least.....  it will filter out the people who don't play the game as you should a boxing sim....

Wuz good FNR4 fans. I know the new button config is getting a bad rep, but I can't wait for it to come out. I don't want to say that the analog stick is flawed, like when I try to throw a right hook and a left upper cut comes out. It makes me want to throw my controller. The only thing this new config is trying to do is allow you to choose your punches more accurately. When I got the news of the new config coming out, it stopped me from turning in my FNR4. Because the current controls are a little more than frustrating. As far as the so-called button mashers out there, I've always know the difference between the button mashers and the real players. And you would think anyone with enough skills would take out a button masher easy enough. But the players are players and the numbers speak volumes. So I'll be waiting online.

I would rather the downloadable content be more characters than the button mashing ability. The sticks are what make the game what it is...if people are complaining about that, they should have never bought the game. They shouldn't change a great game for people that are having trouble adapting. Add content, rather than making the game into "Facebreakers" with better graphics.

Alright i can't wait for the button controls, this will improve the game much more, and to all the guys who scream no button mashers fuck you a button masher almost never wins. Fight Night is a tactical game.

When you do what matters, it doesn't matter wich controls you use : what does matter if you want to throw a punch ( jab or hook or uppercut )that your fighter throwes it, that it is easy to throw punches and naturily.

Also hope for dowloads for the other thru kings of boxing : john L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano.

Bernard Hopkins once stated he would most definitly be in the game..... but something tells me we won't get many DLC boxers..... The game is good but iám a ps3 user meaning i can't use my own entrance music, i won't get an exclusive SRL. I really have been waiting a long time for this game and am still enjoying it but i must say the first DLC news pissed me off.

when i try to get on xbox live on Fight Night Round 4, why do i get a message saying "You must be signed in to xbox live and the ea servers in order to access the online features of this title"?  I am connected to xbox live when i get this message.  how do i fix it?

LiuSolid said:

About time EA! I was starting to lose faith in you guys. After playing every Fight Night game for years with the game's BUTTON CONTROLS it just became natural for me to press what I need it to press in other to counter or simply make a punch combination. Then I found out when I first played the DEMO that you guys had removed the "Button Controls" I was sad, mad and dissapointed. I had pre-order the game then I cancelled it and to this date I have not bought the game yet.

AS SOON AS I KNOW THAT THE DOWNLOAD ITS AVAILABLE AND READY! I'll go to the closest game store and get it...

ONE MORE THING: If you lose to someone that's just smashing buttons, it simply means that you are no good at this game... I am a button user and if you try that with me I'll just make you look silly in that ring. Same thing in real life, try throwing crazy punches in a boxing match in real life and see what will happen to you. KO

Thanks

Thanks for the bottons. I dont understand why poeple say botton mashers OMG bottons mashers are comming. There are people that abuse the stick. For the stick people all they do is left to right left to right. Come on i mastered the stick but with the bottons comming to town it will make you a better def. player... right!!! but with the stick you know when punch is comming, and you can easly block the punch. Agian thanks for the bottons alot of people will be happy for that.
