Emasher Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 i'm pro in bowling tennis and golf and well on my way in baseball and boxing but now when i try to punch the thing only picks it up 1/5 times am i doing something wrong or do the controlls just suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 They just suck. The way you tilt the controller affects it a lot, which really innaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 They suck badly. Just push your arms forward and back in a straight motion as quiack as you can you will win every time. Hopefully a future game will develop proper controls for boxing as it would be great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I find they work best if you use quick flicks of your wrist and/or upper arm. Think back to Rocky punching that little bag a billion times a second. No hay makers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I find the Boxing controls better than Bowling and Golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I love boxing; I go all out on it, ending up all sweaty and exhausted. Remember that it's not all about punching, but dodging too. Some well-timed dodging can really help you to win a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Not when you're against someone who plays like Haden described, you don't do a chance unless you do exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I don't have much of a problem with them, though I realised I don't actually really punch with them, I do more of a flicking like gaggle said, sort of a whip forward with my hand. Definitely work on your dodging like Eenuh said though, it helps me out tons to dodge a punch then crack a few good jabs(thats one problem with how I play, it's all mainly upper jabs, can't do hooks to save my life ).

Calibur Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yeah same here, i dont have problems with boxing at all. The only controls i find shifty are the golf controls....putting just isn't my thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yeah, for me the boxing control have always been really accurate. You're obviously not doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I don't have a problem fighting the computer, but I find the remote to be less responsive when there's two of us playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Not when you're against someone who plays like Haden described, you don't do a chance unless you do exactly the same. Yeah but he's just trying to win against the computer anyway, and as far as I know they don't play that way. =P When playing against another person, it of course depends on how they play; change your playing style according to what they do. *only got to play against someone else once though* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I hate the controls in boxing, so unresponsive! At first I was worried it was an issue with the Wii controllers, but it's blatantly just how Nintendo designed Wii boxing to try and make people freak out while playing it! The boxing game in WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a million times more responsive than Wii Sports boxing. I really hope we see a boxing game on Wii (A new version of Punch-Out!! would be good) with really accurate controls where what ever you do is replicated in-game perfectly.

ReZourceman Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I agree that the boxing controls are awful. My least favourite Wii Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The boxing controls are awful, especially compared to proper boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The boxing controls are awful, especially compared to proper boxing. Like all 5 of the Wii Sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 actually i don't mind the other games bowling- try moving to the right (in game) if your right handed and left if your left. golf- i can see why people don't like the controls in this one but there not that bad when you get used to them baseball- try doing training mode before you play each time tennis- look at the way your mii is holding the wracket and swing the wii-mote the same way.

Cube Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 actually i don't mind the other games I know how to use them in the best "Wii Sports Way", which, like boxing, is nothing like the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think someone should build a boxing controller out of lego. It would essentially be a harness that restricts arm movement. Then you are guaranteed, to get all punches you want. Plus a punch bag would be good too. Anyway, hope EA can improve on this. However, I think, Wii boxing shows the natural limitations of the Wiimote. Maybe some statistical programming might improve performance. As an expert in stochastic signal processing, I would happily fix it the wii. However, this would require a fee of £1,000,000. Considering the impact this would have on world peace, I believe that is a most reasonable suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of like....one way where it would be comfortable though, and I dont think it would work too well anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 it works slightly better if you hold the wii mote+nunchuck at the bottom instead of the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
