Just played online for the first time in a while.
At first I played offline vs the computer. Had a couple of surprising scorecards but otherwise a good experience.
But then online...my stamina was draining very quicly. I try not to be too aggressive but when the other guy is marching forward, throwing a lot of hooks, you have to open up IMO.
Anyway, with 2 rounds gone I had something like 80% stamina. From then on, I dropped the pace, but by the end of round 5 I was tired and resorted to just running (or walking, due to slow footspeed when tired). I lost 4 rounds in a row and then won the 10th because I knew I could afford to throw more.
When all was said and done, he'd throw 150+ punches more than me (and landed 55 more) and seemed to have more stamina left.
I felt bad about it, but then afterwards the guy sent me some butthurt message so now I'm pleased I fought that way.
The scoring is odd though. Both online and offline I have won rounds 10-8 despite not doing anything special. I outlanded the guy online by 15 punches in one round and was given a 10-8 by Atlas and the 3 official judges. In 2 other rounds he outlanded me by 40 punches and only got 10-9. Seems like they've made some bad/odd changes to that as well in the tuner.
