D. Creating your Boxer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you'll start your trip to your ultimate goal, being the Greatest
of all Time(GOAT). You start out by naming your boxer and choosing his
physical attributes such as his arm reach, body type and so on. There is an
exceptional amount of customization for every thing as you can even upload
your picture online and put on your boxer in the game. Since there is so
much I will break it down section by section.

Color and whether you want to have sideburns or not.

from various manufacturers from Everlast to Nike and even Reebok. You can

Balanced, Block style was Textbook and Punch Style was Balanced and my Best

Best Style- Easy since it has the most bonuses and no weakness. Although there
a couple of styles with no weaknesses I picked this one because it the most
balanced and can be used effectively for whatever type of boxer you want to
build, Be it a Infighter or an Outboxer. Of course this is my personal
preference and is based only on the stat increases. You can go with whatever
you are comfortable with.
DDD1.BEST FIGHTER STYLE COMBINATIONS
Of course these are just suggestions based on the starting attributes of the
style combinations listed. If you have more please feel free to email me with
those that you feel are better.
OVERALL/ COUNTERPUNCHER/ INFIGHTER/SLUGGER/
BOXER OUTFIGHTER BRAWLER
Base- Easy Easy/Smooth Easy
Block- Cross Philly Shell Cross
Punch- Balanced Speed Power
B.Punch- Hook/Uppercut Hook/Uppercut Hook/Uppercut
D2.PUNCH STYLES
They've reduced the variation of punch styles from FNR3 to only 3. Balanced,
Power and Speed. These are still extremely important to your boxing style
though.
BALANCED- As it's name implies it has a good combination of power and speed.
Your punches will still come out quick but will have a good amount of pop to
them.
Ratings Increased-Since this was my base for the stats I'm not sure
Ratings Decreased-Since this was my base for the stats I'm not sure
POWER- This Punch style trades speed for power, increasing your power and
letting you throw bombs which will put the hurting on your opponent. Your
punches will be slower though as will your foot speed, but you will take less
damage to your chin.
Ratings Increased- +2 Chin, +1 LH/RH Power
Ratings Decreased- -2 Hand Speed, Foot Speed, -1 Stamina
SPEED- The polar opposite of the Power style, this one focuses on speedy
punches and combos. The punches won't be strong but they will be lightning
quick however. And you'll also move faster around the ring.
Ratings Increased- +2 P.Accuracy, +1 Hand Speed, Foot Speed
Ratings Decreased- -2 LH/RH Power, -1 Stamina
DDE1.BEST PUNCHES
This is also very important to the start of your boxer. You can choose your
best punch ranging from the Jab to the Uppercut for each hand. Each Punch
has a different effect on your Left and Right Hand Power as well.
IMPORTANT!!!! I would strongly recommend that you make your best punch your
power hand. This way as you get into harder fights you'll have an added bonus
of your power rating being higher and your best punch doing more damage.
JAB- Your quickest punch which is thrown with your lead hand. It's not strong
but it's meant to keep your opponent away from you or open up him up with a
combo.
Ratings Increased- None
Ratings Decreased- -2 LH/RH Power
STRAIGHT- This punch is thrown with your power hand and is aimed at your
opponents nose. Great combination of power of speed. This is not a bad choice
at all for your best punch, since it's quick and can do alot of damage.
Ratings Increased- I used this as my base for the other punches
Ratings Decreased- I used this as my base for the other punches
HOOK- This punch can be thrown with either your lead or power hand. It's not
as fast as the straight or jab but it does much more damage and is aimed at
your opponents cheek. Great choice for your best if your good at throwing the
punch
Ratings Increased- +2 RH Power(Right Hook), +2 LH Power(Left Hook)
Ratings Decreased- -2 LH Power(Right Hook), -2 RH Power(Left Hook)
UPPERCUT- This punch is the slowest of them all but does the most damage and
is aimed and your opponent's chin. This punch will rack up the damage quick
and do a good amount of stunning. If your comfortable throwing the uppercut
then this is also a great choice for your best.
Ratings Increased- +2 RH Power(Right Uppercut), +2 LH Power(Left Uppercut)
Ratings Decreased- -2 LH Power(Right Uppercut), -2 RH Power(Left Uppercut)
D3.BLOCK STYLES
The Best offense is a good defense. It may be a cliche but man is it true.
Defense plays an important part in boxing and is vital if you hope to win
tougher fights. The blocking styles haven't changed from FNR3 but each style
has a different effect on each attribute, though they all affect Block
Strength.
CLASSIC- The basic blocking style in which your boxers gloves are covering his
face. His arms are the closed together shutting down any punches coming from
the front, though a well placed punch will get through this guard sometime.
Strenghts- Well Balanced Blocking style. Great combination of Block Strength
and Head Movement
Weaknesses- None. At least compared to the other styles.
Ratings Increased-Base Style so changes from other block styles will be based
off this style
Ratings Decreased-Base Style so changes from other block styles will be based
off this style
CROSS- This style has your boxer covering his head with his arms crossed,
creating a preety good shield again punches.
Strengths- With this style you will take less damage from blocking your face
and it has the strongest bonus for you Chin rating
Weaknesses- This guard gives you a higher Block Strength but your speed will
decrease as a result. So you won't be able to counter as quickly but you'll
have a stronger guard though.
Ratings Increased- +3 Chin, +1 Block Strength
Ratings Decreased- -3 Head Movement, -1 Heart
PHILLY SHELL- Your boxer's power hand is just above his left shoulder and his
lead hand is covering the bottom of his stomach.
Strengths- The point of this style is speed and counter quickness, and as such
you will be able to counter quicker from normal blocks. This also increases
your Hand Speed
Weaknesses- You will take more damage from blocking punches in this style than
you would if you were using the other two.
Ratings Increased- +2 Hand Speed
Ratings Decreased- -2 Block Strength, -1 Heart
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E.Amatuer Tournament
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you finish creating your boxer here is where you'll start. The fights
are pretty easy and you only have to go through four of them to get out of the
amatuer ranks and go Pro. For Winning you get a nice ratings boost to some
stats(not sure if it's the same each time)
Prize-+ 5 bonus to Left/Right Hand Power, +5 bonus to Stamina and Heart rating
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Legacy Central
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the amatuer tournament you'll find yourself in Legacy Central which is
your home base for most of them game. On the initial screen you can see pretty
much all the relevant info you need. It shows you your Name, Record, Rank,
Pound 4 Pound Rank, Your next fight(if one is scheduled), The result of your
last fight, Your Popularity Ranking, Your Messages and Your Trainer Advice on
the bottom of the screen. On the Right Side of the screen is your current
Legacy(which is Highlighted in Yellow) and the Legacy Rankings you can attain.
By pressing R1 you can see your Legacy goals and how to attain a higher
Legacy Rank. From there you can press R1 again to see your Basic fight stats.
The in depth stuff is on the Legacy Menu which is accessed by pressing the
Start Button.
F1.FIGHT CALENDAR
Here is where you'll need to come to schedule your fights and training. You
can select any day which has the icon of the Two Boxers. Selecting this will
show you the Top 50 fighters in your Weightclass. You can only fight up to
3 spots above your current ranking though. By Pressing Triangle you can see
the opposing fighter's record and, by pressing R1, his stats. When you settle
on the person you want to fight you will be taken to a screen that shows the
days with which your opponent can fight. You can push the fight out up to a
year from your current month. After you choose the date for the fight your
calendar will show you the day(s) that you can train and the day of the fight.
FF1.Training Days on the schedule*IMPORTANT!!!!!
Now this is extremely important. Depending on how faraway your fight is you
will have a certain number of training sessions available to you. The formula
for this is:
Less than 1 month 15 days-0 Training Sessions
1 month 15 days-2 Months from fight=1 Training Session
3-5 Months from fight=2 Training Sessions
6+ Months from fight=3 Training Sessions
I have noticed no benefit from scheduling your fights far apart to get the
extra training sessions, since you will have to recover after the fight which
will take at least a month and a half. And you can't do anything while your
recovering(The days will be listed in Blue with a + on them).
F2.MY LEGACY PROGRESS
This neat section of Legacy Central displays all the information about your
Pugilist from his Current Legacy Ranking, Rank(In his Weight Class), P4P Rank
and Popularity. There is also a chart that shows a graphical representation of
the numbers. By pressing R2 from here, the chart will show his ranking at that
month from the beginning of the year.
FF2.Punch Totals
By pressing R1 on the Rank Progression Tab of My Legacy Progress you will be
taken to the Punch Totals screen. This lists, in amazing detail, how many
punches you have thrown throughout your career and is broken up into punch
types(Jab, Straight etc.) and where they landed(Head, Body, Both). Each Punch
type has it's own representational chart to give a visual of how many punches
you've thrown and it has the hit percentages too. You can hit Square to see
a full chart of all the punches you're thrown.
FF3.Punches Taken
By pressing R1 from the Punch Totals screen you'll be taken to the Punches
Taken screen which is similar to the Punch Totals screen except it shows how
many times you've been hit. There is a total number displayed and next to it
is the average per fight. These too are broken down into Head, Body, or both
but they've added an extra layer of detail. They also show where on your face
or body you got hit, ranging from your Jaw your Left/Right Brow and Left/Right
Cheek, Nose and Temples. For the Body section is shows whether you were hit in
your Left/Right Ribs or your Solar Plexus. And of course there is a chart
which represents these numbers. You can also press Square to see a full chart
of all the punches you've taken. Very Nice indeed.
FF4.Ratings Progression
By pressing R1 from the Punches Taken screen you can see your boxer's current
ratings with a chart to show how they've grown of fallen over the past year.
By pressing L2 or R2 you can see what your ratings were in a particular month
in case you wanted a point of reference or something.
F3.STATS
Here is where you can see a average of how many punches you've thrown as well
as the rest of the boxers in the game. And you can check on every fight you've
had and see all the juicy details from those fights.
FF1.My Fight History
As it's name implies, My Fight History is basically a representation of every
fight you've been in so far. On the main screen it shows your opponent, the
date of the fight, the result, Win/Loss type, and the number of rounds the
fight went. As is becoming a pattern in this game, when hit X you can see the
Judges' Scorecard for that fight and also see the fight totals, which can be
viewed by round. Very helpful if you wind up facing the same fighter again or
are just a statistics nut like myself.
FF2.Punch Stats
Here is where you'll go to see the average number of each type of punch thrown
in fights. It lists the stats for all the boxers in the game, not just yours,
so you can get an idea of what you opponents favorite punch is. It can also be
viewed by Total Punches, Head Punches or Body Punches.
FF3.Retired Boxers
Here is where you can see a list of the boxers who have decided to hang up
their gloves for good. You can sort them by Name, WeightClass, Age, Rank and
record.
F4.RANKINGS
Here is where you can come to see the Top 50 rankings in each weightclass. You
can also view the Pound 4 Pound rankings also. If you want to see where you
stand in your Weighclass then you would want to come here. You can also see
who is moving up the other WeightClasses also.
F5.MESSAGE CENTER
Here is where you come to get read your messages that you'll recieve from your
trainer and manager and other people. Most of the time these will consist of
telling you that you got nominated for an award or that someone new is moving
up the ranks of your, or another, division.
F6.AWARD CANDIDATES
Here is the screen where you can see who is in the running for the various
awards given out at the end of the year. They vary from Fighter of the Year,
Fight of the Year, Round of the Year, Knockout of the Year, Upset of the Year,
Comeback of the Year, Defensive Fighter of the Year and Prospect of the Year.
There is an award of each type of all of the Weightclasses also. You can also
view every boxers Fight History here also.
F7.MY CORNER
Here is the Options section of the game. You can choose to do various things
here like Editing your boxer, Looking at your Highlight Reel or playing the
EA Trax, Messing with the game settings, Watching the Legacy Mode intro and
saving your Legacy Mode and Retiring your Boxer.
FF1.Edit Boxer
Here you can change your Boxer's Ring Entrance info and Change his Equipment.
Unlike FNR3 however you can't change your Boxer's style anymore. So whatever
you choose at the outset you will have to stick with.
FF2.My Media
Here is where you can come to view your replays if you've saved any of them
and you can upload them to EA for people to watch. You can also edit the EA
Trax here and choose which songs you want to play while you're in the menu.
FF3.Settings
Here you can adjust the game difficulty, choose whether to be Saved by the
Bell, and whether the 3 Knockdown rule is in effect. You can also adjust the
game sliders, giving you an amazing amount of customization over the game
experience. Here is a list of what can be adjusted.
Referee Foul Awareness- How many foul punches the ref will see
Referee Damage Awareness-How much damage the ref will notice
Boxer Power-Power for both boxers
Boxer Speed-Speed for both boxers
Boxer Physical Damage-Physical Damage for both boxers
Boxer Toughness-Toughness or defense for both boxers

on or off. You can adjust the volume of the menu music and the speech in the
game, the crowd volume and even the sound effects. And you can choose from 4
preset controller settings, though none of them have Face Button controls.
Finally if you choose to retire your boxer your career will end, meaning he
can't do any fight or training or anything like that, and his achievements
will be brought up for you to view.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G.Training
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had planned on doing a separate FAQ for the Training mini games detailing
strategies to make them as easy as possible but I'll list them here and also
list what attributes they train.
IMPORTANT!!!!In order to get the maximum number of points for each game you
need to attain a Champion Level score. I would highly recommend going to the
menu and trying the training games there before you do them in your career.
G1.Auto Traning
Like in FNR3 I wouldn't recommend that you do the auto training for any of the
games unless you've tried practicing and you just can't get the game no matter
what. You'll get half the maximum points for auto training though. Please make
sure this an absolute last resort.
G2.Open Sparring
Description-Get in the ring and work on Offense and Defense. Points are scored
by hitting the sparring partner and blocking or avoiding his punches. Points
are deducted for missing punches and getting hit.
Ratings Increased- Head Toughness, Body Toughness, Chin
Ratings Decreased- Punch Accuracy, Heart
My Opinion- As it's name implies it's a live 2 minute sparring session with a
partner. I would recommend this game quite a bit because not only does it
raise your defense it give you practice also so you can become more adept at
making your opponent miss.
Champion Strategy-You should stick to your combos and I'd recommend doing a
lot of leaning and blocking you opponents punches, as you get points when he
misses and we you successfully block a punch. Also you'd want to counter alot
and when you stun him stay on him with flurries of punches, as he won't be
able to clinch and his block meter will deplete quickly.
G3.Stay on you Feet
Description-Spar this round with low health and stamina. The opponent will try
to finish you off. Try to score points. Most Important-Try to stay on your
feet!
Ratings Increased- Head Movement, Heart, Chin
Ratings Decreased- Hand Speed Stamina
My Opinion-An interesting game indeed as it will work on your survival skills
when you're getting beat down. I stuck with Open Sparring more since you can
raise those ratings with other games.
Champion Strategy-Stay on defense and when he opens up and tries to blitz you
avoid his punch and counter. You should try to stun him and stay on the
offensive once you do. Not only will you score points for hitting him but
it will also drain time off the clock.
G4.Heavy Bag Combos
Description-Hit the bag with the punches the trainer ask for. The trainer
calls for each punch by number. The HUD displays how to throw each punch. The
faster you land punches the more points you can score.
Ratings Increased- Left Hand Power, Punch Accuracy, Block Strength
Ratings Decreased- Foot Speed, Body Toughness
My Opinion- If you're good with the analog then this game will be a cinch. If
not then prepare for a supreme level of frustration cause the punches won't
come out unless they are thrown with a near perfect motion of the analog.
Champion Strategy-I'd recommend that you spend a ridiculous amount of time in
the training game in the the menu before you try this in your legacy. The only
tip I can give you is be precise with your movements on the Right Analog cause
if not you will find yourself throwing the wrong punches. I consider this the
hardest minigame.
G5.Heavy Bag Push
Description-Hit the Heavy bag high or low as indicated to push it down the
track and score more points. The bag gets heavier as it moves down the track.
Keep your distance or the bag will push you backwards and you'll lose ground.
Ratings Increased- Right Hand Power, Stamina, Heart
Ratings Decreased- Head Toughness, Chin
My Opinion- My preferred power minigame of choice. This game can be annoying
but I would recommend that you do nothing but jab/straight combos for the top
and hooks for the body since they'll come out quick and it will push the
bag further giving you more points. This is great for raising power and
stamina in one workout.
Champion Strategy-When the stripe is on the top of heavy bag I recommend
nothing but Jab/Straight combos. They're quick and continuos motion will keep
pushing the bag further. For the Bottom of the bag I'd recommend Left/Right
Hook combos. These are stronger than the Jab/Straight and will move the bag
a little more. All the while you should be moving toward the bag.
G6.Double End Bag
Description-Move to the zone indicated on the floor and hit the bag before
the zone changes. Hooks and Uppercuts score more points than jabs or straights
Hit multiple zones in a row and score bonus points.
Ratings Increased- Punch Accuracy, Foot Speed, Stamina
Ratings Decreased- Head Movement, Block Strength
My Opinion- My favorite minigame in FNR4 and it's quite easy also. I would
recommend that you stay moving once the circle changes color. That way you'll
be close to the next target and be able to throw more punches and rack up the
bonus points.
Champion Strategy-You should throw Left/Right Hooks once your on the target
and when it goes into bonus start throwing uppercuts, since those will give
you much more points and get you to your goal quicker. Also start moving as
soon as the target blinks red so you;ll get to the other target quicker and
be able to get more points.
G7.Maize Bag
Description- Lean your head from side-to-side the number of times the trainer
requests. Then throw a body punch in the air. Don't hit the bag and don't get
hit by the bag. The faster you are the more points you can score.
Ratings Increased-Hand Speed, Head Movement, Block Strength
Ratings Decreased-Left/Right Hand Power.
My Opinion- This is another fun mini game and is probably the easiest after
the sparring. Just duck twice for each time the bag swings then when you hit
your required number just throw your punch.
Champion Strategy-As I stated above just move your head twice for each time
the bag swings by you. So when the bag is coming toward you duck left, right
then wait for it to come back then repeat until you get to your required
number then just throw your body punch. It's vital that you don't get hit
by the bag as it'll be that much harder to get to champion if you do.
IMPORTANT!!!Make sure that you save your game before you do the training. That
way if you screw up you can just load your game and try again.

compound but reducing the confusion.
