You need to use modifier buttons to increase damage if you’re using punches on the buttons. The total punch control on the right stick gives you the best simulation experience.

Best game experience I ever had up to that point. Loved the way your three punches with the analogs. You could control the power of your shots so much more fluidly. I loved everything about this game.

[@Potat550]

The haymaker system never made sense to me, the fact a normal hook is like a tap on the shoulder to your opponent while a "haymaker" turns you into Mike Tyson is so ass backwards.

[@MrG4meW1nner]

FNR2 was amazing. The problem is that the game was made to be used with the right stick to throw punches Not the BUTTONS. If you know how to rock the stick in the right Rhythm you can throw fast combos. The game rewards you for using the right stick. And no not just for haymakers. The real players know what im talking about.

[@caydenrgarrett]

I loved this game, the controls were very easy and the haymakers were so OP, especially getting hit by one of them lol. I can see why people say this game ruined it probably because of the free use of the haymakers. The ragdolls looked and felt better because they added more weight onto the characters unlike 2004 where they just jellied and fell limp. This game was my childhood and my favorite fight night ever as 2004 coming in as a close second, (sometimes its first).

Round 3 is definitely better than this game, you'll actually see a hit reaction on the opponent, but the freeze/counter window after a punch is parried is just ridiculous.

[@Xenlacasa45]

[@IMzKDC23]

The only thing I like with this game over R3 was the speed gap with a power puncher vs a speed puncher. Power punchers in R3 were soooo slow like damn!

[@salvy131]

This was the best boxing game ever, absolute control of the blocking and counters. Plus the stamina and health bars were the best. I always enjoyed kissing down there stamina, then picking my opponent apart when they had no stamina. And the cuts/bleeding was cool too. I like more gore but I would work on one area and make them bleed. So fun, wish they made one just like it, with the same controls... It would be the best.

[@boxing_barbell3873]

The only part I found fun about playing this game was watching the AI fight eachother. Other then that fighting an AI that throw all haymakers(Overpowered) and your punches doing no damage unless it's a haymaker or a power uppercut isn't fun. That's not boxing. Boxing is about technique and combinations, not throwing a haymaker everytime you throw.

[@caydenrgarrett]

The blocking system is the same, it's manual just as it was for 2004.

This isn’t a game you can judge based off playing it once… maybe the first fight night because it’s basic but Round 2 has alot of depth
