I have been thinking lately of whether or not I should buy FNR 4; I've heard great reviews about it, but I am still on the fence because of just how good UFC is to play. If anyone has played both games, can you tell me which would be the better one to play and why?
Great graphics, looks very nice, decent career mode, Easy to learn buttom scheme
Fight Night
Great selection of boxers, and they look good graphically, the addition of Tyson (need I say more) and a very deep career mode (legacy mode)
Now to the negatives....
UFC:
Controls can sometimes get "stuck", which makes the character move stiff nfl 2k like (if you know what I mean). Flash knockouts happen to often, and if you know how to play you can do it anytime
Fight Night:
The biggest issue with fight night I have had, and also the most glaring is the missing face button punching system aka: option 3, this is absurd that EA left this out of the game, they are discussing providing it as DL content, but I will wait, I have not purchased fight night because of this, I can't do it. Some people love TPC, I on the other hand are a casual gamer, which means I don't play games to get the "true" essence of boxing, I play to have fun with my friends. Having other buddies over, and trying to explain to them how to use TPC and get it right takes too long, and in the end, everyone is frustrated, as no matter what, it still comes off as clunky, and odd
TPC has a very steep learning curve, and even then it gets misguided 50% of the time, making you throw a jab when you wanted an uppercut. This is unacceptable in a game where a quick response time is mandatory.
For example, you open a boxer up with two jabs to the body, he drops his guard low to protect, he is prime for a hook or right cross, but TPC makes you throw a jab. Not cool
Fight Night is strictly a rental at this point, and if you want to purchase do so only after playing. UFC is a good game, so if I had to choose one, it would be UFC. However once EA get's there act together, Fight Night could really be a great game.
Thanks, appreciate the input. I might just go ahead and rent FNR4 for now and at least get a feel for the game and the problems its mechanics may present.
