cut stoppages piling up for me

hyperstork · 08-04-2004, 11:54 AM

Ack, I'm having injury problems. Even though I have a ref that is rated as normal or "late" for stopping fights, I keep getting lots of stopped fights from swollen eyes, etc. When it happens in the title fights it's particularly infuriating- the champ leaves on a stretcher or not at all in my book.

Anyway, I have it set to "only ref can stop fight" but the commentary often has him letting the ring doctor look at a cut and stop the fight.

What gives? What can I do to keep these things from happening?

Any help appreciated.

This has been mentioned before and I think the developers are looking at ways of improving the cuts and swelling in the game.

Hmm, well I wish there was an option to turn them off if it's going to be pesky to keep realistic. I had both title fights I played end due to a cut. I don't remember it happening this much when I played Title Bout on my C128 all those years back. :/

Yeah it can be annoying sometimes, especially in title fights as you say.

Another thing that I've always wondered about Title Bout, you know on the 'corner' section of each fighter on the fight screen...well do the settings EVER change? E.g. does it ever change from the normal 'seconds' setting for each individual activity, such as 'motivation'? They all seem to be stuck on 30, no matter what the situation is.

You have to remember though that Title Bout has one hell of a fight system, very detailed and in depth and on the whole it is astonishing how realistic the fights are most of the time. For example, when Tyson is fighting you really get the feeling that it is really going on, you can feel the power of his shots. Especially with the sound on, the fights are brilliant for atmosphere and are mainly excellent in terms of realism, but some things like cuts/swelling and the infamous 'jab knockdowns' could be improved. Maybe in a future patch or something.
