About Fight Night Champion Tuner Set Update

EA
 Greetings Fight Night fans. A quick update for you all on the release of the new Tuner Set for Fight Night Champion. The update went live on 27/04/2011 and since it was the first iteration of Fight Night that has supported gameplay updates via tuner sets, the process of creating and testing them was something entirely new for the team and something we hope to become more efficient at in the future.

The primary focus of the tuner set has been to address the effectiveness of jab-spamming. Without going into nitty gritty details, the goal has been to make jab spamming harder to do and a less effective strategy for winning a round. It isn’t as easy to string multiple jabs together, they do less damage, offset the opponent’s punches less and cost more stamina. In addition to addressing the jabspam issue, we also:

* Updated the base chin level so that newly created boxers in OWC are less susceptible to stuns than before. They will still need to be careful in a fight against a highly rated opponent, but starting out as a newbie won’t be the handicap it was previously.
* Increased the effect of low stamina on toughness and power. If a boxer gasses themselves out, there punches are less effective and they are more susceptible to incoming fire.
* No longer turn straight punches into hooks at close range.

Fight Night Champion is available now.
