in my opinion if you can create a patch for configuration back to Fright Night round 3 the game would have much better rating.

You're right dude. Everybody just seems to want to hate online. Just don't buy it. That's my opinion too.

I have to admit that I was a die hard button fan. I got the game as a late fathers day gift played it for about two days, hated it and didn't touch it again till about 2 weeks ago. I gave the TPC another shot and I have to admit that I was wrong about the game sucking because of lack of buttons. Once you get the hang of the TPC this is almost a flawless game period. You can really see the developers vision using the TPC and I still want to give it a go when the buttons come out but I'm 90% sure I'll stay with the TPC.
As far as releasing the game before its perfect I don't really agree with that. It sucks that the legacy mode freezes up just when your fighters starting to get good and I haven't been online with it yet until I absolutely master my TPC so I haven't encountered online issues but I'd rather be able to play the game now, and hopefully the patches and updates can fix these issues at a later time.
EA if you really want to show that your sorry for the patch causing more issues then reward us with some more boxers Holyfield, Mayweather, Oscar, etc and tons of new gear for our patience and understanding.

The patch was also supposed to fix the issue of sharing too many playlists from your computer, but, it is still broken. The game would freeze at the splash screen if you had too many playlists. Mine still freezes after the patch. I hope EA fixes this soon.

I agree that boxing is no where near as popular as it was 10-15 years ago. However, with the inclusion of classic fighters, the game does appeal to those who remember Ali, Tyson, Foreman and others in their prime.

FN4 is outstanding. The reason is that it feels as if you have to box. You can't just get in the ring and try to whale on the opponent without fear of running out of gas OR getting countered.

The best part is when you are in a good flow and you land a one-punch knockdown. Again, just another game that people prefer to rip.

I do agree that the sales may be down due to the increased popularity of UFC. I think this game would have fared better with a March release since NCAA and Madden are right around the corner…

I agree 100%. Gamers these days don't appreciate what is out there. I remember the Atari days and only wished for titles that had real uniforms, players / athletes, stadiums, etc. The problem is gamers of today are spoiled.

No one stops to look at exactly what they have. The other day I played NCAA 10 and pulled up a replay. I zoomed and checked every little item down to the grass. I thought to myself if games looked this sweet when I was a kid I would have never left the house.

No game will ever be perfect, which is subjective any way….

It's dead as in there's no saving it. It's not as big as it was just 15 years ago and I don't see how it's going to stop declining with the new generation of fans being in love with the UFC.

How is anything that pulls in millions of dollars with no major cable tv promotion a year dead?

The game is the best boxing game yet, but it cant escape the EA marketing teams (or whoever makes decisions) ability to consistantly fuck things up with gimmicks and indecision, even when it comes to good games.

U speak the truth, Mo. I LOVE FN4. MUCH better than FN3, imo. Fighting through legacy mode is exciting to me because sometimes, no matter how good u think u are, POW, u've been floored by one good punch, out of nowhere. That's whussup. I love what EA has done with the game.

As for the UFC comparisons, eh. I really dug the demo but UFC is much more of a barbaric sport than boxing ever was. I can't get into watching the sport because of that fact so I didn't buy the game. Still play the demo, time to time, though.
