Welcome to "Morning Hangover" -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from two of TheFeed's editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world. So buckle up, brew some excellent coffee, and keep reading!
Raymond Padilla: As a fan for Fight Night Round 4, I was alarmed and disappointed to learn that EA will be "enhancing" the game with a face-button control-scheme in September. I like the current, analog-stick controls. They work just fine. It's not my problem if some gamer sucks at using the analog stick for punching...at least, it better not be my problem when I'm playing online. Worst-case scenario -- I should be able to filter out (sucky) players that use the face buttons. There's no doubt that they have an advantage using a simpler and faster input method. In a perfect world, players that use the face buttons should be banned from online play for being lame. I understand that adding face-button input makes the game more accessible to a broader audience, but it also adds the potential to wreck online play. I spoke to an EA rep yesterday and while there is no official word on the issue at this time, the company seems aware of the problems that will arise with the September DLC. Let's see what actions it will take.
Patrick Klepek: Last night, I was forced to play Fight Night Round 4. I can't talk about why -- yet -- but needless to say, I'm not particularly looking forward to it. Sports games are really not my thing. The last time I played a boxing game was Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. Man, that was a good game. How'd that franchise die so quickly? In any case, my impression of the Fight Night series has always been that it's a really pretty showcase for game consoles but beyond that, it's a requirement to actually understand and care about the sport of boxing. I, er, don't. As I'm writing this before I play it, predict: will I be converted?

btw...weve missed you

LeBron is goin to NY or NJ. It is inevitable. As a what if scenario wouldn't it be really cheap if he went to the Lakers?

@ Thundercracker
Are you saying that Michael Bay took a steaming crap that transformed into big budget feature film?
@ anyone with a piece of the all-spark
Please, keep it away from your underwear. Accidents CAN and DOO happen.

@Thundercracker X-Play's Blair Herter enjoyed Transformers 2. This is probably a reason he has a Facebook club dedicated to removing him from the show.
@RRODisBack 15 minutes? You're doing something wrong. Don't worry though, there are some cool changes in the very near future.

@ Scotty and SoFunny
My Rocket is bigger than your Rockets.

I think LeBron will stay in Cleveland because Shaq is up there now and I smell some championship contention going on up there.
Granted, I wouldn't wish living in Cleveland on anyone.
As for the Fight Night thing, it is what it is... a game. People are bound to glitch it and take advantage regardless of how anyone feels about it.
And the comments disappearing thing... I'm just glad to be here in the first place.
YoureSoFunny
Hey they're my Rockets too! LOL

And when I hit refresh only half of the comments will show.
RRODisBack
Yeah, speaking of change, G4 shouldn't have changed things with the site. It takes 15 minutes for my comment to appear sometimes.
RRODisBack
It's the old double edged sword. If EA didn't change anything in Fight Night the fans would say "it's the same game" and now that they did change things people say "they shouldn't have changed anything".
I hope I can turn on the t.v. without hearing about Micheal Jackson today but that won't happen. He was a great entertainer but still he was a sick man who admittedly let little boys sleep in his bed with him and he was apparently ashamed of his heritage.
The Steve McNair situation is tragic. My memories of him is now tarnished because he was a married father of 4 and was apparently killed by his 20 year old mistress.

im assuming my comment will appear momentarily, as if by magic

mornin, ray
did anyone here actually see and enjoy the new transformers movie? Anyone over 15, anyways? That thing was maybe the biggest steaming turd of a movie ive ever seen in my life. GIANT plot holes. My gf and i went to see it at 3 o clock on a tuesday and the god damn thing cost 19 dollars to get into. I coulda bought the blu ray off amazon for that. Needless to say, i was disappointed beyond words. The girls in the movie were hot, but for 20 bucks i wanna see, i dont knos, less clothes on them or something

If your first introduction o fight night was Round 3, which I think was the only game to implement face button punching, then where the hell have you been. Lame is exactly the word for it. I guess you could say the same thing about the people who complained about the controls to Killzone 2, but I've never played KZ2 so I'll reserve my judgement.

I'll be honest I suck at using the analog stick for any type of movements other that moving up down left or right and while I respect what EA did with fight night and I think its a fantastic game with alot of depth I'm gonna not spend my $60 and be frustrated because I cant throw a decent hook..
pipspoolcleaning3
buttons are awesome. dont be mad because your a glutton for punishment. sounds like some people are jealous that we "button mashers" are gonna whoop some a** online!!! j/k. the analog sticks have yet to win me over, I have mastered them since my purchase but still cant stand them. Im finally feeling comfort that I spent so much for this game. bring on the haters. dissing the analog sticks in games these days is the same as throwing out a "yo mommas..." back in the day and no one likes their momma get joked on.
snookgum123
You can button smash all you want but when it comes down to it there better skill player win. Street fighting you can buttom smash...
big13lak
Button mashers should only be allowed to do player matches, ranked matches for the real (hardcore) players, simple as that.
Scottydsntknow
LeBron will stay in Cleveland, and my Rockets are in rebuilding now
