Brizzo and Mahar Answer Community Q's

 

With the DLC and Title Update lined up for early December, we polled the community for their questions about the upcoming additions and sat with game Producers Mike Mahar and Brian Hayes to get their take on things.  Above you will find the first of 4 videos with answers to those questions. 

Right before these videos we recorded their recap of the Pacquiao-Cotto fight, which is why Brizzo makes mention of this being the "Second most exciting thing in boxing".  That recap should be coming next week along with some pics and extra video from their trip.

Is there a PACQUIAO update planned?

With the destruction of Cotto at welterweight, I think its very clear that the version in the game now, isn't very accurate.

Is anything being done to change the skill points people get when winning someeone with a low rank/record?

because of the record not showing when in the session with the player, we do not know if this player has a high rank or low. 1 point is being added on to skill points for winning someone with a low record/rank like 34-2. i get 1 point for winning the fight. I play fight night all day and im rank 4 on ps3 and i earn 1 point a fight.

when i play someone with a high rank i get like 30 but its not that often we now find a high rank player. Come on, 1 POINT FOR WINNING A GUY WHO IS NOT IN THE TOP 50?

I played a guy who was something like 28-7 and his AOL was 17. he was hard to beat and i got like 3 points? Come on Brizzo

Please Guys give users the Option to Edit Existing Boxers, Body Builds, Hair, Facial Hair and Styles. Alot of us Users would like to see this implemented. Also it would sell well as DLC becuase folks could put existing boxers in diffrent weight classes.

What sucks is... Duplicating and edited license boxers will be allowed to play online. You wanna change all the cheating and spamming and keep realism, but it again will accumilate itself all over again just in a different form. I knew it was to good to be true when someone thought he knew what he was talking about and informed me "noo that wont be allowed" in a very smug way. I myself am a boxing fan, Liston being in the game is amazing as well as hopkins buuut i dont know mayne this whole edited stats crap for licenced fighters blows. I mean i get the logic of having Hopkins come down in weight in a way to have him fight in middleweight, but those who know nothing of boxing will always always always boost power accuracy stamina and all that jazz and its crap. I hate cheaters dude i love realism and i hope this wont kill the game for me, cause dont get me wrong i love boxing annd the game. I just hope i wont have to deal with dudes online who will kill the game and the sport .

 I wish they would add the feature of allowing players to see how many people are online (like RD 3); also, what's up with the "push" move in the game?  In real boxing the push is a move, but you cannot push a guy 12 friggin' times a round.  I fought a chump who would just push, jab, retreat, repeat, for long spells.  Really boring and FRUSTRATING.  Lastly, excessive clinching should be penalized!!!  Other than that the game is coming along.

No love for Tito Trinidad? C'mon....that needs to be in the game. Tito vs. Oscar, Tito vs. Benard, Tito vs. Whitaker. C'mon fellas...I'm sure you can make that happen.

I wish that you have to put some boxers like Floyd Mayweather,Felix Tito Trinidad,Paul Williams, Zab Judah, Andre Berto,Edison Miranda,etc.If you put in a pack or indivuidual I dont care the people would purchase them please. And In creating a boxer put the tatoos editor. Also in Legacy mode if you want you fight in other weight you could do it but example if you are in middleweight and you schedule a fight in lightheavy you will stregh ,quickness, and you now. PLEASE ADD THOSE THINGS AND THE GAME WILL BE THERE>

How many weight classes I can move up and down in legacy mode.

rondon11 said:

Is a suggestion I want that you can schedule your fight if you are a welterweight and you want to move up and fight with winky wright in the middleweight you will lose power, quicknees, you understand. Put some new accesories and gear.

Hi guys. Congrats for doing such a tremendous job on this game!  I am writing from Mexico, my city is Cozumel, very near to Cancun. Anytime you want to spend some time on the beach, there is no better place than Cozumel, believe me!

I read recently that some lads are having trouble playing the new DLC Champions Pack II, released yesterday.  I could see all these gamers are "xbros (x-box)".  Is there a problem with the same DLC for PS3? I cannot find the DLC in the playstation store. I already updated the game and can see all the new features, but cannot play them.  I know I need to buy them first but there aren't in the PS store yet. Are you delaying this because you're fixing the problem? Keep it up!! Hope to see you one day in the ring to show you how tough Mexican boxing really is!!

peace out

I gotta say I like the update. Stops a lot of spamming, though there are those that insist on it no matter what. It really only is an issue now if you fight with a boxer that is grossly outmatched in power. I'm also glad to see they took the ability away to land a cheap shot when you're stunned. You NEVER see real boxers do that, get in trouble and land a couple low blows to keep from getting dropped. But it's not perfect. It seems to have left my online play very glitchy. it freezes up randomly and I get booted from more fights by the server than I actually get to complete. I have a PS3. I've read something about deleting it and redownloading it. But that didn't help. Anybody know what I need to do to get it to work right? I need a step by step how to on this. Very frustrating...
