    Fight Night Round 3

    So i found some info about FNR3 in a pretty recent article and figured id post it in NSB bc more people would see it. (hopefully this actully is the right place)
    Its a ten point article that give us a basic overview and review of the game.
    I have a feeling a couple people are going to be pissed off tho...

    Round 1. Rivalries Rule

    Career mode is no longer just about you, it's about your rival. Think Barrera/Morales as you'll encounter a fighter in career mode who will begin to target you and taunt you. When you meet for the preflight weigh-in and press conference, you can get into a playable mini-game where you slug your opponent and smack him before the fight even starts. Take your rivalry to the ring, and if your fights live up to billing (including exchanging punches after the bell), they become ESPN Instant Classics, living right alongside the other ESPN Classic fights like Hagler/Hearns.

    ha ha sweet i dont like the mini games thing other then the pre fight but during a match that would suck

      I'm not buying the hype. That game will not deliver what is it promising, that is my guess. I hope I'm proven wrong. But, I won't be.

      EA needs to wake up and realize they're never going to make a really good boxing title in 8-10 months. They need to take 2-3 years and just make a really good game for a change.

      Victorious Boxers 2 and Victorious Boxers All-stars are the two best boxing video games, period.

      For videos of these games, go to this topic:


      Pay close attention! This game actually implements styles well. I don't see how Fight Night Round 3 can pull this off in 8 months. It just isn't realistic. Fight Night = arcade boxing

          I am so happy. This game will come out in March so im even more happy. Yesterday i watched the trailer and i was blown away. WOW..they look so real. They're so big.

          Probably the best boxing game ever.

            The thing I don't understand about EA sports with their fightnight stuff is why do they put only a few new characters in every new Fight Night Game as if it's that hard to put a bunch of new characters...
            In Fight Night all the characters have the same style.
            They don't put styles in the game. Styles to them is making a boxer run around the ring and a swarmer stand their and get hit.

            I wouldn't mind even if Fight Night put only one new character per game as long as they had that character's style down packed in the game. Even if they just used style prototypes like they use now, but just in further detail that would be good.

              so misinformed

              one of those graphics= good video game types.

              its ****** that people limit themselves to mediocre games b/c they're unwilling to mod their ps2s and import.

              IF fnr3 is even as good as vb2 or all-stars, i will give you 100 million points.

                    While there were some nods to boxing styles in last game, you could choose from only three options: power, balance, and speed. When it came to getting busy in the ring, one of the most important aspects of your "style" usually involved deciding when to let loose with your haymaker. Boxing styles will play a much larger role in Round 3, and you'll have more control than ever when deciding exactly how you want your created pugilist to fight. Your entry into this improved style system will be the improved create-a-boxer feature. Of course, it will contain the requisite insane amount of detail and flexibility that made the last game's create-a-boxer feature so fun, and you still use the dual analog sticks to make adjustments to things like face size and nose shape. Along the way, however, you'll also be asked to choose your boxer's in-ring style, and you'll have a number of different options to choose from under three main headings: movement, punch style, and block style, Styles will play a big part in your success in Fight Night Round 3. [i]

                    When it comes to movement, the available style choices are, among others, smooth, bully, upright, textbook, mummy (think George Foreman), and wild (think Prince Naseem Hamed). When choosing your punching style, you'll choose which types of punches you wish to focus on when trading fists in the ring, such as the lethal uppercut. Finally, a plethora of blocking styles will be included, so you can choose from a cross style à la Jake LaMotta or an up-and-down block style. These different styles will play a huge role in your success in the ring and will dictate how you'll need to shape your style to be effective. Your block style, for example, will determine how effective you are at stopping punches from a variety of different angles, and as a result, you'll be more effective against certain punches than others.


                    from gamespot on there review on it. sweet that they are putting in some styles into the game, bout freaking time. looks to me like its going to be a good game.
