Thanks for all your help guys, and please continue to post a rating for TB on CNET, we can really need it.
I've seen the negative ratings when I was going to update the version number and the price of TB on CNET - I didn't know that they would create a new record for the game and that those ratings (and you new ratings) would disappear.
Also thanks for the constructive discussion that's going on here now. The problem with the fight animations is that we would need realistically looking fighters in 3D, moving and fighting in each one's individual manner. As long as we can't provide this, we must not provide anything. Anything else than the perfect animation is not 100% perfect and so it will be called "bad". Keeping in mind, that something which is probably 60% perfect would cost us some 10,000 dollars, and would be "bad" then, makes it impossible for us to introduce realistically looking fighters.
It's not only the skin color problem and the problem of the fighter's height and weight. It's just no ANIMATION which is shown in TB. And all the EA Sport fans will always laugh about it.
It would be better to display NOTHING. As it has been in TF2001 - just an image.
Or probably a 2D view of the fighter movement with the fighters shown as circles - a blue and a red one
(who wants that?)
Personally I like the current solution more - we just may not advertise with "great in-fight graphics".
