Platinum Cardio Boxing Workout Session

[PriusGuy2004]

I've been using the Platinum and Gold Cardo boxing session quite a bit, and I really like the workouts!!! I do have a couple things I've noticed about the Platinum Cardio Boxing full 14-minute session, however. (Spectra...please report these to the developers. I think the Platinum was DLC, so I would hope they could just patch this!)

1. One of the first exercises in the Platinum Cardio Boxing is a Punch/Squat Combo where you cross punch to the side, squat, repeat punch on the other side, squat, two hook punches, and then two upper cut punches. The thing I'm noticing is that even before I begin to do the squat portion of the routine, Kinect is recognizing that I'm beginning to do my squat...when I haven't even moved yet. This happens all the time for this particular exercise.

2. Many times when I am doing this routine, if I start doing a squat or punch even a split second before the trainer on the screen does the same thing, it will not recognize that I've completed it (no green filled-in circle on the screen). It's almost always if I am exactly in snyc or just a fraction of a second behind the trainer that it will count twoards my goal (if you will).

3. There is a point about mid-way through the full Platinum Cardio Boxing routine where I get to about 4 or 5 repetitions left in the exercise, and the female voice says, "Last one". This is incorrect...as I have 3 or 4 more repetitions to go.

I absolutely love YSFE, and I can deal with the glitches I've experienced...but I just wanted to be sure that Ubi saw this. Thank you, in advance, for looking into this issue further.

I love YS too but your number 1 issue is true and pretty ridiculous! I am purposely NOT squatting because if I do, it does not register as correct! To me the good FAR outweighs the bad for YS and hopefully the devs will iron this stuff out. I still wonder how much testing they did for this game and what sort of people they used for testing.

To add to my OP, I am also noticing that that trainer on-screen is getting out of sync with the music even on the Silver (full class) Cardio Boxing workouts. At the start, punches are on the beat...but then after a while, they are getting off-beat...which totally messes with my head.

Ubi (Spectra/Gypsy): Please look into these delays. Although I love this game, little errors like this are what keep it good when it could be great!

One thing i noticed, is, that i have to be careful that i turn my body around when i have to kick. It registered my knee, but i have to be face 100% front for it to register the kick.

Thank you, Gypsy! I would like to add some more information that I have observed. Today while doing my workout, I was using the Silver (full class) Cardio Boxing workout. The first couple of routines start off with forward punches. (The trainer starts out the first few at a slow pace so you learn what to do.) If you look real close, as the trainer on screen is throwing the first punch, a few frames of the animation are missing. This happens every single time as soon as the first forward/front punch is executed. (It continues to happen once the punches are in double-time.) So, in my opinion, the missing frames in the trainer's arms while throwing the first punch are the culprit in why the on-screen animation does not consistently sync to the beat of the music.

Again, I thank you for your help and reporting of this issue!!!

I noticed this problem too. It appears like he slightly hesitates on the first rep of each set. Then reps 2 thru 4 seem fine.

I've only just downloaded the Platinum Cardio Boxing classes and so I'm having a look at this thread.

I'm not experiencing any difficulty with the Sumo Combo. But I have had the issue of getting ahead of the trainer a bit on other Cardio Boxing routines, and having the move not register as being completed (no green circle). I have had to consciously slow myself down. I am actually seeing this in the Kick Lunge Combo on slow, especially when I lunge/punch on the right side. Once I slowed my lunge a bit the problem went away. It has not occurred during the fast routines for me.

[Bhorza]

One other small glitch in animation I've noticed with the Platinum Cardio is on the Kick / Lunge combo (the second exercise routine) during the full program. When you're on the "slow" runthrough of it, on the very last rep, the trainer speeds up for the last lunge and goes immediately into the side step. It's a very fast hurry up that doesn't match the cadence that had been set throughout the rest of that exercise set.

Otherwise, love the platinum.

Gypsy and/or Spectra...

I know you have said this has been reported on, but I wanted to also create a visual for you. So, I recorded myself doing a "Cario Boxing: Platinum" workout so you and the Ubi developers could see exactly what I am referring to. I hope this is of help to all of you!!!

Excellent! Thanks for posting! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

No problem. I would argue that the sync problems I've shown in this video between the video and the beat of the music are also present in other workouts, too...not just this one.

The sad thing is that this video is not a unique experience. As I am sure everyone else does, I have exactly the same issues, including the out-of-sync/fast-forward kick-lunge combo towards the end, and the "last one" and "Side step! Side Step!" bug around the 9 minute mark.

I absolutely love the Cardio Boxing and I've been doing gold/platinum on a daily basis for months now, but I cannot figure out how this DLC got released with such obvious flaws. Are Ubisoft seriously saying that they tested this before release? It's not as if the bugs are subtle.

[PriusGuy2004]

...and that's why we're here, euler_13...to give our feedback (good and bad). Thanks for confirming the same things that I've already pointed out in my video. Curious, though...what is the "side step, side step" bug you see that I should keep my eyes out for at minute 9?

Between each routine she tells you to do the "side steps". In the bugged "Step Punch Kick Combo" after she tells you it's the "last one" and goes on to do two more reps she tells you to "side steps" twice. It always makes me chuckle as it sounds as if she is shouting at you because you didn't hear her the first time. (For your reference it happens at about 9:08 using the on-screen timer in your video or around 9:40 using the video time elapsed.)

[PriusGuy2004]

LOL!!! Now that you pointed that out, that's funny!!! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif

Is there any chance at all of getting this DLC patched? The silver and gold cardio boxing routines are also a part of my daily workouts, and they are flaws in those as well...namely a sync issue between the audio and video. It's frustrating for sure...and I just wish that Ubi would take some proactive steps to correct it so that the experience is more enjoyable. Great game...just frustrated with some of the bugs.

[PriusGuy2004]

Dear Ubi & moderators of the forums:

It's been nearly nine months since I first posted my questions/concerns about the Cardio Boxing Platinum workout session in "Your Shape Fitness Evolved". Why can't/won't Ubi take time to correct these bugs? I still use "YSFE" for exercises, and it would be wonderful if you would be able to release a patch for this. It's frustrating to see that Ubi didn't go through this piece of extra content with a fine-tooth comb. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif

I'd like to second hoferchr's comments, and add a question: why can't i import the DLC for YS2010 into YS2012?
