Playing my roommate last night, hes Joe Frazier and I'm Tyson, and for the love of God I couldn't hit him when he started doing his light speed twirl a.k.a bob and weave. Every time, he would just start doing it over and over until I threw a punch which missed 100% of the time and he would then get a stun punch. So started going to the body which works fine but is hard to win a fight on. He would just do it incessantly, waiting for me to throw a punch, miss, counter, stunned. Going to the body constantly too hurts him but not enough. I can probably find a way to counter it through extreme patience in the ring but still very frustrating especially since I use to work him in 90% of fights in FNR3, I was the counter-punch king then, now can't seem to stay off the mat, hopefully practice makes perfect. @ Pharohgod – I specifically was searching for anyone else that thinks the bob and weave is garbage, at least for some of the boxers.

The people that love the online game play are more than likely those stick spammers. Well said. The people that love the online game play are more than likely those stick spammers.

I've looked at the stats after my fights and what I can conclude so for is this game is random online. By this I mean one fight i'm okay on fatigue and another where I've some to have had a better strategy and even landing at a higher connect rate. Some how my opponent 9 out of 10 times ends up have way to high of stamina and barley any damage. I had a fight where I landed 84% of my shots and the guy had better stamina. This game just makes no sense online. Okay this game officially sucks online. I've looked at the stats after my fights and what I can conclude so for is this game is random online.

As stated people are so split over this game. I did not get that same feel with MLB O9 The Show there is not a huge split there. The overwhelming majority, I would say 90% or more of the people that have played MLB 09 The Show either feel like its the best baseball game ever or really close. It definitely gives MVP 05 a race for its money. On the other hand, this game is so flawed online and is a joke of a Sim. I mean you can basically spam as many punches as you like without being taxed. Sorry this game is not anywhere near being realistic in nature. This game is far from game of the year IMO.

The visuals are outstanding and the ability to customize your character, trunks and robe is a sweet touch. I agree that the training is ridiculous. There are only two training sessions that I complete myself, I sim the rest. Something has to be fixed to make it so overly challenging that it defeats the purpose. I like the scheduling of the fights. Much more realistic and I have not yet experienced the reduction of my boxer's assets due to aging. I hated that in past boxing games. As soon as you start to get your skills up to compete with the best, age would kick in which would impact the skill levels... Overall, a great effort by EA.
