This is the presentation and career mode guy right here...

Name: Mike Mahar
Title: Producer - AI, Presentation, Legacy Mode, Online
Bio: I'm from a tiny town in Ontario, Canada. Thanks to my father, I've been a boxing fan for as long as I can remember. I still remember watching fights with him on Saturday's ABC Wide World of Sports (Big fights on TV for free, what a crazy idea!) When I'm not busy making Fight Night I can be found training (boxing) and punching Brian our Game Play producer in the face.

Let him know what you want as far as presentation and career mode. Please, I must stress this, don't ask for any arcady stuff.

Tell them to bring back Rag Doll Phyics so when I knock you out you fly around the ring. Fight Night Round 1 was the best.

All I know is that I will be number 1 in the world online on this. Does it have online multiplayer anyway? with leaderboads?

Not if haymakers and parrying is gone. I have a good feeling they are.

I agree. I loved hammering the **** outa an oppenent before he went down. The KO's replays were **** on No.3.

I think the game needs to be faster, and the boxers right hands should land big.

Different fighters should have different power in certain punches. Fraziers left hook for example should be better than Ali's left hook. Robinson and Leonard should have the most balanced power.

blah blah blah, i just want to play.

Yes there is a multiplayer. All noobs will be getting ownd by AMG44.

They better not screw this up.

If it is, awesome. I was too good in that damn game and I was ranked number 1 on the Original Xbox with Fight Night Round 3. Not much difference except for the graphics really on Xbox 360. Still undefeated in Xbox 360 but retired.

By looking at the game presentation and gameplay videos they had on the game convention 2008 where they showed actual gameplay and not the trailer, its turning out pretty awesome. The graphics will probably be very much improved by the time its released so that was the only real problem I seen from those gameplay videos. The action is faced paced and much more realistic then ever before. Pretty fluid but could use a bit more improvement on the punching sound affects.

When you actually connect with a big punch make it sound like a really big shot that just landed. Like a big thumping sound when someone connects with a good shot. Tell them to watch the Pac Man vs Diaz fight and how Pac lands a hard straight left to Diaz face and Diaz shakes his head as if it didn't hurt. Those type of sounds.

Also tell them to make the sound effects when a hard puncher is punching an opponents glove even if they are blocking. Get some real sound affects of gloves blocking another glove. Amplify it to give it a more real feel. Also the have some authentic sounds of how certain fighters fight. Such as Pac Man when hes on the offensive he always making some kind of grunting sound when hes attacking and throwing his combinations.

Also certain fighters should be able to have a corner man carry a nationality flag as they walk into the ring. And they should be able to play certain music for certain fighters. Say Dela Hoya plays that mexican music they played against Pac, and Pac could choose certain music songs that he usually walks into and so forth for each fighter.

Well thats it for now.

Some good stuff,NoFear24. I'm invited to the EA Community Event next month in Vancouver,Canada for 3 days to see the game in action. I'm going with a pen,pad,recorder and digital camera. I hope this game will be beyond our expectations.

Make sure you get a front row seat and upload your video here!!
Ya this game has got me hyped. I can't wait till it finally comes out. Them taking out the one hit haymakers and Parrys would make this game seem that much more realistic. Ya congrats on being invited to that event. I hope you guys are gets some hands on time with the game to see how its progressing. So you can give them even more feedback of what feels right and what doesnt feel right. Well good luck to you and hope you enjoy the event at Vancouver next month.

12 round distance fights,i hate every fight i have ending in the 1st and 2nd rounds easily

Yeah, I've went 12 rounds once in the whole time I ever played it. It shouldn't be so easy to KO somebody.

The straight right hand should hit alot harder, it feels as light as a jab on FN3.

The cuts could be better. Sometimes your face is bleeding badly but there is no cut? You should be able to swab the nose and stuff.

I say just take out the parries, and make it harder to KO somene... but at the same time u cant take out the 1 punch ko, because it does happen [in real life]

I mean if u land on the chin, flush.... u should go down, or atleast stagger [depending on if they guy has a great chin or not]

I think it was still Knockout Kings in 2001, but that was the most technically competitive boxing game I've played. A buddy and I played it nonstop in career mode, and when we went head to head, it felt like an actual fight. The Fight Night games are awesome, and i'm all over round4, but the previous 3 were very arcadish compared to 2001.

I think Fight Night 2004 was pretty good and had lots of potential.

knockouts were another thing that need to be fixed. way too overdone. body shots should put a fighter to a knee, some headshots should slide a fighter back onto his ass, etc. instead of jabs or any punch you can think of knocking a fighter into a coma and then him folding like a lawn chair. funny once, but after that..
