Punch force

[deg]

Anybody else having issues with punch force? I have the multiplier set to 1 and it feels like even when trying my absolute hardest all my punches land blue. I tested with the heavybag and the game is registering my punches at average about 2500 newtons which according to google is an average punch for amateur boxing. I'm also doing my best to aim for weak points (jaw, temple, solar plexus). Still though even with all that my punches are blue even on Melky.

Do not set your multiplier to 1x. That is far too low of a multiplier for almost anyone. 1x is not meant to imply that it's correct or true-to-life or anything like that. The correct multiplier is going to be different for every person, and, for example, people who are stronger punchers in real life will need a higher multiplier to feel more like real life, not a lower one.

If you want to use a fixed multiplier instead of the automatic one, I recommend you turn Automatic Force Adjustment back on and start a fight against the sparring partner on Endurance. Focus on throwing only at a comfortable level of effort, and don't throw as hard as you possibly can. Throw a good number and a good variety of punches, but make sure you're not knocking the opponent down or getting knocked down. It's crucial you make it all the way to the scorecards and that the round doesn't end early by TKO or KO.

Once the fight is over, go turn off Automatic Force Adjustment, and the sliders should already be set to a good number for you. Give it a try, and if you feel too strong or too weak, you can come back and make adjustments.

Note that this won't change the numbers you see at the heavy bag or boxing dummy, as they don't use the multiplier for the numbers they show you.

Yeah don't use fixed 1x unless you want a serious work out, I siggest 1.5x, or 1.3x for a harder challenge, but don't be afraid to go higher if you're struggling at these levels.

It adjusts according to your hardest shot though if I remember right and it would put me below 1. So I just leave it at 1 and use light and medium punches to set up hard punches. I can get in the 4000s though when punching the dummy. I just don't like being punished because I throw some serious heat now and then. So yeah, only throw maybe medium shots when the game is auto adjusting for you and then stick with that and your hard shots should pay off more. Set them up though don't just go out there throwing bombs all the time.
