Get ready to duck and weave because if you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming release of EA SPORTS Fight Night Champion on March 4th and already have the Fight Night Champion we've got this hard hitting Controls Tutorial.
As the game will feature an all-new control scheme titled Full Spectrum Punch Control, we wanted to outline the controls for those new to the game and for those returning to highlight the changes.
Full Spectrum Punch Control
Simply put, FSPC allows you to use the Right Stick to throw punches. Flicking the Right Stick to the Left will throw punches with your left hand, while flicking the Right Stick to the Right will throw punches with your right hand.
When you flick the stick at different angles, the boxer will throw different punches. Flicking the Right Stick Upwards will throw Straight punches, flicking the Right Stick to the Side will throw Hooking punches and flicking the Right Stick Downwards will throw Uppercut punches. As you flick the Right Stick in different directions, the boxer will throw a variety of Straights, Overhand Hooks, Hooks, Hookercut and Uppercut punches.
Punch Modifiers
To throw any of these punches to the body, simply hold down the Lean/Body Punch Modifier. If you are Leaning Forward your punches will go to the body. If you are Leaning Backward or to the Side, your punches will go to the head.
To add a more Power to your punches hold down the Heavy Punch Modifier. Any punch can be thrown heavy, including your Straight punches. Heavy punches do more damage, but take more energy and are a little slower to reach the target and string together in combination.
Button Punching
If punching with the Right Stick doesn’t suit you. The Face Buttons can be used to throw the basic Straights, Hooks and Uppercut punches also. Use the Body Punch Modifier and Heavy Punch Modifier with the face buttons the same way you would with the Right Stick.
Stepping Punches
Stepping Punches can be used close the distance to your opponent with an attack. Pushing Towards the opponent with the Left Stick and Punching will automatically perform a Stepping Punch if the opponent is outside your punching range.
Counter Punches
Counter Punching is a very effective weapon in Fight Night Champion. Catching your opponent when most vulnerable means your punches do more damage. Use defensive techniques to avoid or deflect your opponent’s attack and counter them before they’ve recovered.
