I just bought this game, and the single player is fun, but I really want to be able to fight people online, and there is still a chance to revive this game (and even make a sequel) if you fix these issues (or at least the first issue with the unfair joining advantage).

Regardless, leaving the game in this condition speaks poorly to their company, as I would expect similar quality control issues from their future releases... spaceboy21 March 14th, 2012 11:25 AM I sure hope that email works. Like I said I sent a similar email and they did respond but that they had no resources to work on it. Maybe knowing it's more than just one guy asking they can find the time/money to do it. It's probably more dealing with getting a patch through PSN than actually doing it. Also, I feel bad because he said a Move Fitness US release was "up to Sony" and sounded dejected in that sentence. Sony is missing the ball here by not just releasing but promoting Move Fitness - it's really a fun fitness game with Move used to work your arms and legs in fun mini-games, with programmable workouts etc. With regards to that fight and grabbing, yeah I just can't get myself to grab - it breaks the "immersion" of the fight since the grabbee can't inflict damage (unrealistic). One other thing I really wish the game let you do was back up faster - then again I hated the AI fighters who just walked backwards (especially on timed fights). I'd really settle for fixing the joiner bonus. Even though Move Fitness is fun and all around exercise, the Fight really gets your adrenaline pumping online and I tend to exercise longer with it than MF.

Regards, spaceboy21 March 14th, 2012 09:27 AM I think also it may be that the starter just gets "stunned" more quickly/easily and can't fight back. I fought two others a few times last night as well. One guy had good stats but wasn't a dynamic fighter. I beat him handily when joining and when starting, he beat me, but I hung in pretty good (he maybe had 1/3 health left). The other guy fought well but used the grab A LOT. Same results basically but one time he actually beat me when I joined - this match he must have grabbed me about 8 times. I find it really annoying for all the known reasons. We both had slivers of health left, but since he was able to take me health away with so many grabs, I lost. I said "try not grabbing"on the mic and the next couple fights that I joined, I won - one he grabbed a little, one he didn't grab at all (which is the one I really pummelled him on). The times he joined, he always beat me. JBD1986 March 14th, 2012 07:31 AM Spaceboy and I tried this out last night, and it is pretty conclusive that the person who joined had a significant SPEED boost. It did not appear to me that their punches did more damage PER PUNCH, but they were moving so fast that simply rapidly punching would do massive amounts of damage (it also makes it nearly impossible to block). Now the question is "Can you prevent this anomoly from occurring?" spaceboy21 February 8th, 2012 01:13 PM I think zombie fighters can win sometimes because if their arms are out straight, even with minimal movement, you take damage from making contact - and due to the way you can't move around their sides really it's hard to get a hook or body blow on them without getting one to the face from their outstretched arms. Tom-the-machine February 8th, 2012 10:46 AM but still, they manage to win somehow... But sometimes you find someone who has got a clue about boxing. spaceboy21 February 8th, 2012 09:25 AM yeah frankenstein or zombie punchers are the worst. I like to see someone throwing something that looks like a real punch! Tom-the-machine February 7th, 2012 02:21 PM I noticed this "problem", but what annoys me more are those punch spammers who walk around like frankenstein... Hey, ezeekyule, did I add you as a friend today? I added someone today- was it you? Greets. spaceboy21 February 6th, 2012 09:33 AM If you keep an eye on it and even test it a bit I think you'll see it more. I was fighting a guy with similar stats to me and who fought the same style as me pretty much and the joiner always won. Granted they were closer than if we had uneven stats. I'd be more than happy to test it out sometime. Like I said though, it's still worthwhile for fun and exercise, I only want this known so someone doesn't get frustrated by it or think the other guy is cheating somehow.
