You must be playing some really nub people if you're koing them by spamming headkicks man.

Yeah, I have to agree with the others giving you a hard time. The thing I love about UFC is that there is balance. There is a counter to everything. Now, if you're not as good at executing the counter as the opponent is at whatever he is attempting, you'll still lose.

As for the high kicks, I have to laugh. Yes, in an even match, or using a big kicker, a high kick can end the fight. But if you come at a good player with that strategy (or even the computer on a higher difficulty) you will lose. High kicks are very slow, and if I know that is what my opponent is going for, I'll counter to a take-down about 80% of the time, and he'll miss the other 20% (no joke).

I will buy FNR4 at some point, but since it's only coming out every two years, I'm just going to wait. UFC provides my fighting fix, and while the boxing game has nothing on FNR4, the other facets of the fighting, and it's balance, makes it fantastic.

I would love to own you online with you LB+Kick. Do three of those and I will take your ass to the ground and mess you up with Tito Ortiz homie. PEACE!

"In UFC you do LB+Kick and you will knock the guy out sooner or later. " IN FNR4 IF YOU HOLD RB AND GO FROM 6 O CLOCK TO 12 O CLOCK ON THE RIGHT STICK YOU WILL KNOCK THE GUY OUT SOONER OR LATER.

::rolls eyes:: the POINT I was making is that you can fight the exact same way each time and get the same results, whereas in FN4 you do that, you're guaranteed to be rocked or even put the canvas in the first round.

If you take two players who play the game right, then yeah its fun; however, that's not the case. In FN4 you can't just go all out punch or you're going to get rocked. In UFC you do LB+Kick and you will knock the guy out sooner or later.

Yeah, never understood the point of allowing illegal blows. Might as well allow technical fouls in their NBA games, and unsportsman like conduct in Football.

I avoid the clinch whenever I can. I tend to run away if fazed lol…get me the hell away!

yeah same here but FNR4 is a mess in some fundamental areas.

1) No Punching in the clinch (makes no sense)
2) Clinching is tactical move not just about hugging a guy to regain stamina. We should be able to turn our opponent in the clinch.
3) online illegal blows just need to be removed all together.

Don't get me wrong FNR4 is a beautiful game and crazy fun IF you fight someone who plays the game the way it should be played. I had a couple of 10 rounders that were rewarding even though I i lost one of them. They just need some simple tweaks to make this an outstanding game, right now it's just pretty damn good.

Like your s/n. I'm a huge MMA fan and I thought UFC made a respectable game. I commented on an aspect of the game that is really lacking. If you punch the opponent, it lands in the same spot, over and over again, same whip lash head movement (unless its a knock out hit).

Also in terms of game play, all you have to do it get a kick boxer and hit the LB + kick button all day long and you'll win.

The foundation is set for UFC, it has a long way to go before it tops Fight Night in terms of gameplay and physics.
