Fight Night Champion Strategy Guide
Fight Night Champion is bigger and better than its predecessors. Simpler combat system along with the role playing element makes the game coddling and captivating.
It’s not a game where you can make your way to the top just by directly defeating your opponents. The road to glory is not a walk in the park and you will have to get through a lot of hurdles before you become one of the greatest. Lets start with the basic offensive and defensive techniques:
Fight Night Champion Offense
The combat system in Fight Night Champion is relatively simpler. You can punch in different directions by just pushing the stick instead of mimicking the whole move. You will learn different moves as you progress through the career full of trials and bumps. Following tutorial tells you about the basics of punching in Fight Night Champion
Heavy punches can do more damage but they are slow in action and consume more stamina. Keep in mind that any missed attacks make you vulnerable to counters. Always keep an eye on your stamina meter as you can’t afford to execute moves that consume more stamina while you are running out of it.
Stepping punch can cause more damage like the heavy punches but can be countered easily. Counter Punches can be effective if you are skillful enough to dodge your opponents attacks by blocking,leaning, weaving or stepping.
Fight Night Champion Defense
In Fight Night Champion, you just can’t win only by offense. Defense is equally important. You should learn to dodge and block attacks and then counter before your enemy. Have a look at the following video for the defense tips.
Head movement is critical as most of the times, attacks are directed towards head region. You can use the lean button along with the left stick to move your head in any direction to dodge the attack. Blocking system involves the reflexes of both you and your player.
If both are sharp, your boxer will be able to block more efficiently and the transition from the defensive stance to the offensive move will be easier and quicker. Clinching can prevent you from extra damage so make sure you use it specially when you are under constant attack.
How to Deal With Body Spammers Online
Some players who want to win at any cost will use cheap tricks like body spamming to spoil the fun. They constantly throw hooks to the body till you run out of stamina and then attack to the face which inflicts more damage. Although this punch spamming does not cause any real damage to health but it is very difficult for the victim to counter or dodge the series of punches.
Sadly there is no proper way to deal with spammers. So you will also have to employ the same tactics to stop them. Use straight rights in series and try keeping a small distance. Straight rights inflict more damage and use less stamina. Once inside mode is engaged, keep on punching till stamina starts getting low and then block low and back away.
At first it may appear you are loosing the fight till you start noticing that your opponents health and stamina bar are not being recovered in between rounds. Now its your chance to turn the tables by spamming. Ultimately (if everything goes according to plan) you will emerge as a winner.

I have a question instead of a comment and it’s concerning the Fight Night Champion video game. How can you up your skill level in Legacy Mode so you can add more XP or is it that once you create a certain fighter you are only set a certain skill level for that particular character?
I would suggest to use multi jabs up n down everytime they try to strt the spam.. this will disable them to do a connected puches which gives a openning for modified counter.
Fighting spam with spam is not wise since you are just as open to damage as they are. A smarter way to defend against this is to observe the opponent and exploit the weaknesses of spam. When someone is doing this \bodyspam\, it is annoying but two things are happening that can work to your benefit, 1. any punch thrown leaves them open to attack and 2. while throwing multiple body punches, their head is always low. If you are at a distance, it can be tricky to stop that kind of attack because jabs and straights are more powerful from this range. Its best to try to use your feet to escape the path of the punches and respond with your own straights and hooks. Any time a punch is completely avoided by some type of movement, it creates the counter punch window where punches do much more damage. By letting them spam jabs and straights and countering with hooks and straights, the damage will be greater for them and most will not want to continue with that strategy. The same works when in close but a little differently. Here, you will want to weave side to side with your guard held tight and pop them with uppercuts. This will create little openings where you can still get off your counter punches even though its much harder to avoid body punches in close quarters. Also, the uppercut is key to defending against the bodyspam. While they are spamming, they are draining their stamina and leaving themselves wide open. Uppercuts work great on the lowered head of a body spammer, very high connect percentage, very high damage.
