Really, the best way to resolve the cross vs. uppercut/hook debate could have been solved with separate attributes for every single punch.
Lewis' money shot was a right-cross. DLH's was his left hook. Tyson's had uppercuts and hooks.
I like that EA at least had separate ratings for left and right hand, but it needed to be expanded to each punch.
For the individual who asked about fight length, yes, in your first handful of fights, it's 6 rounds (4 rounds in amateur), then 9 rounds, then 10 rounds. Eventually you get 12 rounds for championship fights.

I'm glad that more users are finally seeing this cross problem. It's a big deal for the sim-heads.Hopefully, the devs take notice as well.It's really just a simple fix IMO.....double the cross damage and we should be ok for this year.
not having proper power for the cross will seriously hinder the strategic aspect of the game when you're fighting using a lanky fighter ( what's the point of staying outside?).
this will also effect when you're fighting AGAINST a lanky fighter using a short compact fighter ( tyson, frazier)....you know from the moment the bell is rung, you have the advantage since you really don't have to respect the opponent's outside game knowing his cross punches are soft.
Money, have you flash KOed anyone with a cross punch ? I am sure we can KO with a cross punch after depleting his energy/stamina with other punches and we finish him off with the cross
If you can tell me we can flash KO, flash KD or even stun the cpu with a cross when they still have adequate energy, that will be good news.
Thanks Money for the impressions. I will be picking the game up this week.
Have you seen any fights stopped early due to cuts?

You can't, and that is the problem.
I was able to stun with a cross (that wasn't a counter), but that was on the demo. I highly doubt that has been changed in the final game though.

I do have a CAB question. Can you assign an actual number for reach?
I noticed on the "versus" screen that there is a number, but in one of the videos on CAB, I saw reach as "long" so I'm assuming the other options are "short" and "medium."
I want to create myself and while I'm only 5'9, I have a 74' reach, and I would hate for them to predetermine my reach based on my height.

Yeah I put it on two player and through almost 3 rounds I had Hatton hitting PacMan with nothing but right crosses stunning him eight times but unable to knock him down. Finally toward the end I hit him with one head hook and he went down.

Can you change the round length to 2 minutes in Legacy mode?

You could definitely KO guys with a cross in Round 3 (after depleting their health meter), so that seems odd they would remove that from Round 4. Are we absolutely sure it can't be done in the final version of the game?

when the news of the game first came out i remember them saying you could adjust the reach don't know if that's changed
