Button controls = best news ever, and proof that internet forums really do give consumers a voice to game producers.

Following in September will be the asked-for option to switch to face-button controls for punches. Currently, right thumbstick gestures control punches - a mechanic introduced successfully in Fight Night Round 3.
The fuck are you talking about? Right thumbstick (Total Punch Control) has always been been in there since FN2004! EA surrenders to the mob, pussies! |

I won't use them, but I guess it gives people a choice. Hope they handle online agme matching though, 'cos mixed controls may not make for a balanced game otherwise.

Will they change the Heavy Bag Combo training when they bring in the buttons? I think it'll be too easy with buttons.

Hmmm well fortunately for me I'll have filled my boots by then and will have moved on from Fight Night 4, so I won't be encountering any button spammers online.

Deckard1 FN4 is far from idiot proof if people like yourself can buy it. ;)
Honestly after hearing all the stick kiddies since release I shall not be bothering with online on FN4 in any way, not that I ever played 3 online much anyway. Anyway these little fools can't bring me down today my game is back in september! \o/

hmm not sure if this is good news or not. I always used the buttons in FN3..and i didnt like the switch to the sticks in FN4 atfirst..but now i do firmly believe they work better for the game, as FN4 is alot more tatically relying on blocks and counters rather than steam rolling punches you could get away with in FN3.
Ofcourse thats the single player. Online i've already played people that do a never ending stream of punches against you..leading to a very boring tedius fight. I can see this being ALOT more common once the face buttons are up for option |

Absolutely fucking brilliant!!
PROOF that people power CAN work, its just it doesnt happen often! Now lets just hope they do not make a hash of it on purpose to still encourage people to use buttons. Let's also hope that all control methods from the original are in there, like Control method 5 myself and all my mates use but I know a lot on here use method 3. I guess whatever they go for, it will be better and can not come soon enough!!!!! HOORAY! |

According to the producer Mike Mahar, they didn’t want to put them in the game without extensive testing and tuning to ensure they avoided the mistakes of FIGHT NIGHT Round 3 where some users perceived there to be an advantage to using buttons versus the Total Punch Control. I quote, "In FIGHT NIGHT Round 4 it is just as easy to throw fast punches and combos with TPC as it is with the buttons. Gamers will not notice any difference or advantage versus the AI or playing against users online."
I prefer sticks personally I can't understand the complaints against them but at least the cries have now ceased. |
