Its much easier to throw combos with the stick, you can throw 4 or 5 punches in one fluid motion. When you use the buttons, you just end up mashing them till your figters gassed

You can do some pretty cool feinting with the stick also which seems to work in making your opponent put their guard up or down. Cocking a right haymaker as if you're going to the head then switching it downstairs is one of my favourite moves and vice versa.

It's easier to switch between head and body using the stick aswell.

much less painful though, I used to be able to really rattle off the combinations with the buttons on the old KO kings, but on fight night i find it really really hard to land hooks for some reason, and my hands starts aching like a bastard too.

It takes a bit of getting used to but hooks are easy with practice. Particularly right hook haymakers that you can land from a distance and clobber the hell out of guys with.

what age has everyone fought till???

i lost my first fight at 47 and had to retire at 50 cos i wad getting battered

On the normal setting or easy?

Your stats start going down when you hit 31. I'm fighting with a 27 year old light heavy at the moment.

I had a heavyweight world champ I retired at 32 with a 35-0 record as he was on the slide. God knows why I did that but I was bored with him aswell.

Have they done away with the automatic retirement after a certain number of defences?

Yep, you can fight forever.

on easy

I'm playing on hard level. My light heavy is 19-2 at the moment. I'm having blood sweat and tears fights aswell if I am winning its when I'm on the verge of being sparked myself.

har dlevel is so much more of a challenge basically in easy or medium you can cock the haymakere and move in and out of range and win everytime, i nearly los tin the amatuers on hard.

its intense.

Bloody hell I want an x-box, this is driving me nuts.

im not gonna say it again, youve got my number.

i'm getting worried about you two :)

Glad they did away with the automatic retirement.

I like the idea of fighting on into your old age and becoming a trial horse.

It must retire you at some point though, or surely your figther dies of old age....?

75 i read you retire at, and nothing to worried about Kev just two pals fiddling with joysticks

You just want him to come round so you can batter him in the ring :)

Yeah, I'll pop round next week....that's innuendo free I think.

Currently fighting with a 42 year old light heavyweight. 40-2 and won all the title belts including P4P and unified belts. Loathe to retire him, he's still champ but seriously on the slide!!

its beocme a bit dull and repetitive now to be honest, i'll leave it alone for a while then come back to it tho.

tends to happen with me and games i dont like to just sit and play em for weeks at a time. Im 32 not 15.

I'm only getting sparodic time to play....

However, I love it, my Mark Hobson clone, i.e. its meant to be me, at 175lbs is 5-0.

I'm playing on medium from the outset and its getting easy to hit and void getting hit.....which, I think is the idea - I love the cut scenes, swelling management etc....

I took the precaution of simultaneously buying Tiger Woods 04 and have still to put a meaningful dint in Black Monday -The Getaway.

However, Fight Night is made for a beer night with mates, the one on one nature is perfect....
