[UPDATE] Over at EA Sports' official Fight Night Round 4 blog, producers for the game announced that, in addition to the paid-DLC described above, they will be releasing a free title update that will address gameplay issues, including the following: Game Play Updates - Adjusted the locomotion speed at close proximity so that your opponent can no longer trap you with glued feet - Increased the stamina cost when continually punching - Increased stamina loss when continually weaving - Increased stamina loss for users that spam upper body movement - Can no longer perform a perfect block when spamming the block - Increased the stamina cost when continually running away from your opponent - No illegal blows can be thrown by either user when one user is in a stun state - Increased stamina cost of Haymakers - Tuned punch accuracy when opponents are moving their head - Reduced locomotion speed when throwing punch combos Create Player Updates - Allow users to duplicate and edit ratings of licensed boxers Online World Championship Updates - Improved cheat detection logic General Updates - Various Bug fixes

Is it just me or does the bolded seem very counter productive?

you fix the glued feet but now you're also making us move slower?

Everything else seems to be spot on...

Totally agree. It is counter productive.... trying to please to please everyone can take away what fans really want.....realism!!!

It actually makes sense. If you get glued to a spammer you want to get away. They made it to where you can get away now, however if you continue to round the ring after you do get away you'll lose stamina for wimping out.

Of course this is all specualtion until the patch does get released.

Edit; and tbh I could completely do without the stamina loss for circling the ring. I see alot of fighters hit and run so yeah it may take away the realism aspect.

This is great news! I love FN4 & this will only make the game greater! EA please continue to give us downloadalbe fighters. Love the new additons but we're still missing some greats. Where's Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Rocy Marciano, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe, Aaron Pryor, Andre Ward, Chad Dawson, Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, & last but not least FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR?

No illegal blows when in the stun state is HUGE! Kudos for that.

I also disagree with punishing the boxer for "running"... how are you supposed to use an outside fighter? Oh well. I'll hold off judgment until we get to try it. I just hope these preventative measures were tuned properly so as to not take away realism and actual boxing strategy from the game.

Wow these are huge changes. I'm afraid they may be too little too late though. Many have already moved on from FNR4 because of the very flaws this update will attempt to fix.

And see me, I'm the exact oppopsite. I have the game but I've been waiting for them to fix the issues before getting really into it. Man, I hope this is the patch that really fixes this game online.

I think the 39.99 price drop will help bring people back to the game that got rid of it before.

Patch looks really nice. Being able to edit the real boxers is cool and not getting stuck when the body spammers are hitting you is awesome. EA is doing an amazing job supporting this game. Maybe this could be proof that 2 year cycles do work when done right?
