Video Games | Fight Night Champion | Exclusive Full Spectrum Punch Control Walkthrough HDXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii
I just had a nerdgasm watchin' that.
New animations,
Gameplay looks a lot faster.
Punches feel like they actually hit and do damage (Monzon taking punches to the body looked realistic!).
Custom entrances to mimic boxers' personalities
Custom punches to make boxers look like it's their fighting style. (Jones' straight right is not like Taylor's or Cotto's, etc.)
The punching systems looks MUCH DEEPER this time around. I'm worried that it could cause a few problems. The difference between throwing a straight right and overhand is minor when it comes to positioning. But looks interesting...
I AM AMPED!!!

Daym!! I just bought FNr4 for xbox at best buy for my kids yesterday! I paid a staggering $9.99,,, Now it's obselete!! hehehe
Nah he was never going to be in it. They always try, but you know what Floyd's ego is like.
He probably demanded he can only be used once a year in the game and he is not allowed to lose.
None, and I mean absolutely NONE of this matters if they can't get the fighters' likeness to be more accurate
I should not be able to sim Arturo Gatti vs Pernell Whitaker at ANY SETTING and see Gatti win EVERY SINGLE TIME
Just because you pour syrup on shyt, don't make it pancakes :(
Well I can guarantee you that won't happen this year.
Cause Gatti isn't in the game.
But seriously, you're right, and I hope it's not such an issue this year.
I mean I willing to give Fight Night Champion a try, but I just can't play these games.
I've boxed, played Football, Basketball you name it.
With games like NBA 2k10/11 it seems the more you understand the game of basketball the more you can appreciate the game. With Fight night it's the opposite.
The more you understand the sport, the wacker this game is.
No inside fighting,ridiculous ass punch stats, getting penalized for fighting of the ropes and you actually get penalized for fighting a defensive style of boxing.
I mean this is about as realist as NBA Jam was to NBA basketball, or Tony Hawk to pro skating.
Sorry but while I might give this a try.....they need to get people on thier staff that actually know about the sport.
I feel you that the roster should be better, but my whole thing is, what can I do about it? I don't think I'm going to boycott the game because there are some guys I would like to be in the game that aren't, especially if this is really the only good boxing game out, imo. I'll take gameplay, graphics with a slightly disappointing roster any day.
I sucked at making CAB's but I downloaded tons of good ones, I dunno maybe it was me but that was half the fun. I, for some reason enjoyed downloading great CAB's, tweaking them to be perfect, and using them. Some of the guys I used the most online were CAB's (Rigondeaux, Joan Guzman, etc.).
The game is def buyable and boxing fans should buy it and me as an overall sports fans who enjoys sports games I will buy it. But I wouldn't call the roster slightly disappointing. I think it is very disappointing with my biggest beef being that the 140 and 168 top dogs are not there, only Bradley and Ortiz as WW's I heard. But as far as 168, nobody at all.
So far, my impression of the whole Fight Night series is that they try to sell the game revolving old fighters. From the roster I see for FNC, the retired or past prime fighters are the best on the list. With just about 10 nice active boxers on there, I don't blame you for using CAB's more than the actual players made by the game.
The graphics and overall look of the game alone makes me want to buy it. But as far as rosters, I don't care what problem it is that they have. I don't care if they can't get every fighter, damn the roster sucks plain and simple. Why come out with a combat sports game where the majority of the current relevant boxers are not in the game. Yeah CAB and downloadable characters my ass. They should rename the game Old School Champions, because the best fighters in the game are retired or were from way back in the day.
I don't wanna create a damn player, that's the game developers job dammit! I buy the game to play it and use my favorite boxerswhich are rarely not there].
Rarely there*
I got caught up in the rant.

oh finally, a 'heavy' straight right. Ive wanted that forever.
interesting. I hope they continue expanding and makign the game better and better.
wonder how the different variety of punches will work.
I though floyd was supposed to be in this one
Edit: just noticed this was my 6,000th post too lol
Nah he was never going to be in it. They always try, but you know what Floyd's ego is like.
They wanted to have a few more boxers in there, but the Chris Arreola character ended up taking more space on the disk than expected. At the start of development he was around 220mb, but towards the end he was up to around 260mb so they had to sacrifice a few of the lower weight guys.
:lol1: That's pretty darn clever, sir.
