Boxing question... Xbox Fight Night 2

I've never been a boxing fan but I really like these games. In the sequel you have to do training before you can compete. My problem is the 6th thing you have to do (right after blocking and dodging). Its called parries and I can't figure out what to do; I've tried every combo I could think of and I can't get past it.

So what the frik is a parry and how do you do it in the game?!

I haven't played FN2, but from past fighting games, a parry is basically deflecting an attack either by the exact same move or something that cancels out the attack.

you block and then you attack..actually u just block....either the left side or right side...its very simple

I think this should be in the Entertainment section.. but bump for an awesome game..

Figured it out, BTW... A parry is when you block his punch and push it away at the same time.

Since learning that I got the Amateur title, the Light Heavyweight, Heavyweight and Unified titles. I lost the Heavyweight to another character I made I can't beat the f**ker.

What a damn sweet game. Too bad you can't import your characters from the 1st Fight Night.

I have won the feathereight and lightweight and unified belt.
also have the 75% award crap

Will anything happen if i keep on defending those belts?

I'm gonig to try this tonight. Controls the same as the first one?? Do do you do the parry thing??

why did they make it so that it is so frustrating when you are about to knock the opponent down. He keeps blocking your power punches.

I won the belt in part one relatively easily.

Controls are the same... to parry, get your hands up for a block and the second he hits your block, push them away.

I played the game for about 30 minutes yesterday. It's pretty much the same as part one with tweaks here and there. I've only fought 3 times and I haven't turned pro yet. Waiting to see how the cutman feature works.

Damn game! Ruined my controller, the repetitive striking and use of the R-Analog sticks caused some damage. Now when I play NBA Live 2005, my players start crossing out buy themselves. !!!!!!!!!!!!!*****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep... I've come to that conclusion too... Seems that my left stick has the tendency to move to the left or right at random...

Class action suit against EA Games! Demand new game pads!

haha what are u guys talking about? is this just for the different controls in fight night two?

i never feel like i'm messing up the controls in figth night one...

by the way, is there a huge difference in these games? i know degenerate said there isn't....

but i'm guessing graphics are 100x better.....i've saw soem clips on the net and they look WOW

whats the play style like? exact same controls and options as FN 2004?

The graphics are way better and the movements of the clothes and other little details are intense...
The real big difference between the two is that you can hire cutmen, trainers, and ring girls. You can take the role of the cutman in between rounds.
There's also special fights you can do that are for lots of money, unlock extra items and don't count towards your stats.

The controller thing... well yeah, I think the game does make it hard on the controllers. If you got some crappy 3rd party controllers I don't think they'd last very long.
