i couldnt find a good pic of Hopkins, it shows him in the trunks where he whoop dlh in, i got this of a german site, so i cant read the review but i saw that someone translated it, so i'll post that in a sec.

yo shamz if u can see the background its not a big arena so its probably one of the weak areas like in fight night 2004 the apollo gym

after the reading the review i was blown with how much their going to improve it

Ok, i did this with a traslator..in dictionary.com, but from what i understand these are the finer points of FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 2

GENERAL

* No Klitschkos
* No Big Tigger
* 40 Licensed Boxers
* Hopkins, Jones, Toney, Wright confirmed
* Better Graphics (looks way better)
* Individual muscle movement
* Playstation pushed to the limit in graphics

GAMEPLAY

* Total punch control is back, but now you can punch, cover and move at the same time!
* Fights CAN be stopped by cuts
* CUT MAN in the corner (30 seconds to stop bleeding or lacerations)
* Cuts diminish defense
* new Haymaker punch
* IT seems that clinching is included, we need confirmation from someone who speaks german

Career

* Unlimited fight career
* you can edit your created fighter during career
* The stuff you buy, like boxing gloves, actually change attributes


BASICALLY, THE GUYS PLAYED THE GAME, IN ALPHA VERSION, AND SAID THAT ITS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED SPORTS GAMES OF 2005, BECAUSE IT PLAYS SO WELL, SO MUCH BETTER THAN 2004, AND AT THIS STAGE IT ALREADY LOOKS LIKE A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER ITS ANTECESOR.





Completely surprisingly if also for I/O one did not announce the successor of the box champion of this year Fight Night to untypisch 2004. But we were still many more surprised, than we could already try a playable version out on a Event. On which box fans can be pleased with Fight Night Round 2 (work titles), we betray you in the first Preview.

We remember: The Knockout Kings series of I/O never created it correctly to place the box fans contently - on it Rocky of rises up particularly briefly all ring combat fans inspired. EAs Punch control control-Boxer are total back - and not only graphically a step forward made! But at the beginning of this yearly came with a new series also new luck: Fight Night 2004 could convince with an innovative control, offered substantial diagram and it as the first box play at all created to merge the tactical elements of the fist sport in a clean and motivating Gameplay.

And with the freshly announced Fight Night Round 2 (work titles) puts the I/O eA-Studio Chicago after - and how! By the presenting producer Kudo Tsunoda was convincingly insured to us that it concerns with us the version shown a very early alpha version, but apart from substitute symbols at most in-Game-texts and a not yet optimized play speed we had nearly the impression of an almost final version. The team was not limited however only to bring the diagram to the newest technical conditions. The spielerischen additions and extensions, which make Fight Night Round 2 already now one of the hottest candidates on the sport play of the yearly 2005, are many more substantial.

Maintained one naturally good physics (however in all interests a Feintuning one submitted). And also the innovative totally Punch control system, with which you steer the impacts over movements of the right analog stick, appears. About 40 boxer are to become licensed. But many small problems of the forerunner were eliminated, so that the Gameplay and the play feeling still more realistically, still tactically and still more intensively to present itself.

So can you now e.g. clasp, in order to stop the opponent in its attack river and to win so completely besides something energy back. Much crucial for the tactical march direction your straining is however waiving the restriction, either move or block and/or to strike to be able. _ the time, in which it a heavy angeknockten contractor afterwards run and strike try (for however stand remain must), belong final the past on.

Because now can do their two at the same time: , blocking strikes and simultaneous moving makes each fight a tactical challenge. Additionally the impact repertoire was extended by the Haymaker in such a way specified, a power impact, which is to be blocked a somewhat longer preparation made possible and so also more easily, which however unpariert devastating damage arrange can. And also the scoffing of the opponent is to be clearly more meaningful in the second round of the Kampfspektakels than in the predecessor and give you apart from an increase of the public favour an easy energy thrust, which will however clearly lower be than with the Clinch.

New it is also (and the physics system comes here again into the play) that you verarzten into tracing between the rounds your fighter must. If e.g. frequently impacts on the left face half must take it, it can happen that the eye zuschwillt. The result is a reduced defensive on the appropriate side. Autsch! The face animations with effect hits are still more aufwaendiger than in the predecessor. Remedy creates here "Cut-Man", who has thirty seconds time to dam the swelling and if necessary bleedings. Because also a technical K.O. by combat abort due to to strong injury is possible.

If revised career an on-line mode for Germany still in the area stands there, above all the career in the center might apart from the multi-player duels, which was likewise improved at all corners and ends. That begins with an extensive, but playing simple erschaffung of the own fighters, continues over a temporally unlimited career, with you removing of the characteristics however strong at the age to determine must and stop only with available Items like new gloves, which bring actually easy improvements of the values with itself. Fans of the first part will remember that everything that could be acquired by the heavily made money had an only cosmetic character.

With at present about 40 licensed boxern a broad spectrum at fighters stands to in all weight classes the selection - even if one must do probably again without the Klitschkos and must provide the two brothers in the editor. Remarkable is also that the training results become not only apparent in the statistical values, but also the appearance of the fighter affect. Spielerisch and graphically improved, might not lead for box fans a way at the Fight Night continuation past. Thus it lights up to of you recke after a ausufernden force training in new light and shows you clearly more sophisticated muscle portions which might make clear for the opponent that no more grass grows, where you touch.

PS2 graphically at the end? With Fight Night Round 2 might be led the PS2 slowly however surely to its graphic borders. Not only that both the Polygonanzahl of the fighters and the dissolution of the textures in the comparison to the predecessor were doubled: Also drumherum some did. Fray show up at the trousers and the shoes, the invasions still more imposanter in scene (and to be able with your career fighter to be also edited) and owing to the Render Mapping to see set the boxer almost photo-realistically out. Since the physics system seizes also with the ring Girls, may you you into the combat tracing additionally still on realistic Boob and Bum Bouncing make happy. Only the play speed must get EA still into the grasp. Because although Fight Night Round 2 can be played already very well and liquid, the fighters move still somewhat too arcadig fast (particularly in the fly weight), in order to become really the term "box simulation" fair. But this problem is well-known and already in work. Acoustically one does with the combat comments, which are to be located in all other respects completely, without the HipHop fuss of Tigger, but supplies beautiful Play by Play analyses.


Although us also after repeated inquiring it was insured that it concerned with the available version a Prae alpha version, we did not come out from being astonished. Because which the team of EA Chicago already now show can, smells again once strongly after platinum. The due control additions like simultaneous moving and striking and/or blocking add the anyway tactically angehauchten Kampfspektakel a new level. And that the diagram would make on the PS2 a so enormous jump, we would not have even introduced ourselves in our boldest dreams: Moving muscle packages, almost photo-realistic textures and abperlender sweat make themselves under the skin a watching a pure pleasure. Since all strengths of the predecessor were integrated likewise and improved easily, all fans of the brachialen arguments may look forward starting from March to an absolute highlight. However EA should modify the play speed still somewhat, since the fly weights rush by the ring like wild a Hornet become. But this is a problem, whose the developers will take care of, so that actually nothing more might stand to the Award in the way. Now it remains hoping actually only that EA, also the Europeans the on-line mode struggles through itself to spendieren.

rthe only confirmed boxers from the screenshots are Hopkins, jones jr. toney, and Wright

Is the game coming out for Xbox? And Is Golota in the game?

i hope john ruiz is in the game so i can pound on him with any heavyweight

Is the game coming out for Xbox? And Is Golota in the game?
yes its coming out for xbox and like i said before the only boxers confirmed are

Hopkins,jones,toney and wright

last years game had 32 this year their having 40 and i hope no legends included and if it is like that they might have golota

i hope john ruiz is in the game so i can pound on him with any heavyweight
well they have clinching from what it said in the review, why not have him and his boring style for every guy to beat him up

Me too, Or better yet, If they had a mode where you could throw John Ruiz out of a 2nd story window :D

yeah, but fighting a 55 year old Ali in career mode is pretty whack and than for the next fight it would be marciano thats fake

my idea is start 5 years before like your career could start in 1999, cuz if you think about it once you reach the big fights the fighters would retire

If it can have more than ONE British fighter then I'll be happy.

Good idea.
A classic career mode would be awesome too, fighting as a real big naem for eg. Ali against frazier, foreman etc. Also if the real trilogies and stuff would happen.

yeah sonce their career sucked for fight night 04 have a storyline, with the legends and have a career mode with all the boxers of 2day or that just recently retired

Looks good the new game, i'll definatly be purchasing it.

No one can beat me in it online...
Anyone who I face, I give them no more than three rounds..

this is off the same site as the previous pictures p4p posted. i just think the faces are extremely detailed :eek:

http://static.4players.de/premium/Screenshots/b6/08/105784-vollbild.jpg

thanks p4p for the site, i cant wait for this game

Those shots look incredible.
If the career mode is unlimitd, which i think is great, than age shouldnt come into it.
Maybe weight would be a better factor, i mean after fighting for 7 years at one weight, your fighter should be forced to move up to face bigger stronger opposition.

And i would prefer to see legendary fighters, such as Joe Louis and Foreman, than have the Klitchkos or any current heavyweight. Jermaine Taylor???? Id rather include Marvin Hagler.
MORE GREATS!!!

Cant ****in wait.

No one can beat me in it online...
Anyone who I face, I give them no more than three rounds..
i would give you no more than 1 round if you make it past round 1 it would be an embarassment for me
