Title: I hate EA ... major bug in Fight Night Round 4
Post by: Hollywood on July 02, 2009, 10:31:09 PM

Some have reported the game won't start if you use a playlist with more than 25 songs, but theres a a more major glitch in the career mode of this game that will kill your chance of continuing. If you have the game, do NOT do this routine unless you want your career mode to be ruined. Here's what happened to me:

1) After you finish a match you schedule a match in the future. For me, I was Ali and scheduled Foreman.

2) After I scheduled Foreman I noticed in my e-mail I had a guy call me out in e-mail, and I accepted, then beat him.

3) After I beat the guy there is the standard recover period, but the Foreman match was STILL scheduled from before, and it was scheduled during the recovering period of the previous "called out" fight I just completed.

4) Since the fight is during the recovery period, this fight is not accessable no matter WHAT. No matter if you hit 'Fight', 'Simulate', or 'Simulate thorugh Fightcast' all three will not advance through that fight since its stuck in the recovery period.

So, my career is frozen and I have to go through all this again and I had about 15 fights or so under my belt. Pathetic. Thanks EA for leaving a ridiculously obvious bug in the game that kills whatever career mode you're in by proceeding this way.

Yikes. That sucks ass. I don't know how companies or QA don't think of scenarios like that happening in games, you'd think it would have happened to at least somebody on the test team.

Or am I naive and that's the sort of thing they'd let slip to get the game out the door and fix post release?

This is why the marketing department shouldn't run things.
