We need a new boxing video game!

[JK1700]

I agree. Fight Night Champion was a huge disappointment, Round 4 was awesome I played the hell out of that game. We need another one like Round 4 with the best fighters in the game right now and also the legends like SRR, SRL, Hagler, Hearns, Ali, Tyson, Chavez etc. It's been far too long time for something new.

They are making a new fight night by the way, this is facts. Trust me.

I highly doubt that. Perhaps you have a source?

You don't know shït about the gaming industry. Under 5 million units in 6.8 years is dogshït.

UFC 2 released 1.5 years ago and has done 1.12 million units (http://www.vgchartz.com/game/86173/ea-sports-ufc-2/).

The sell more untis in less time, thus is why they're selling UFC games and NOT boxing.

Notice they don't do a game every year? Because they dont sell enough units.

UfC 2 wont gain anymore buys. Most sales happen within the first year after that it dies down. Nba 2k17 has only sold 2 million and 2k18 is about to come out. Fight night didnt do bad numbers at all. Most games do around 1-3 million.

You act like fight night was a failure lmao it really wasnt did average numbers like most games

I work in the video game industry and McNulty is right...

For a AAA game to be successful; based on an return on investment ratio, the IP needs to sell 2M-10M units.

Talked to an EA employee. They have already made plans for a new fight night and will for sure make one. Its gotten alot of demand from fans on social media.

Right now they are still making UFC 3, but a new fight night is on the way for sure.

I regularly sign on to my ps3 and beat a few chumps on online mode. If any of you want that work hit me up. No button spammers, you better bring some real boxing technique. psn: Ceejay2k6.

People still play? I used to play alot , last time i played about a year ago. Is there still alot of people playing or has it died down? I remember last time i played it seemed alot harder to find an opponent

[moltres.]

put these numbers into perspective.

in 3 days from launch, gta 5 sold 29 million. loooool. it is a great game.

and fifa 17 sold 7 million on its first day.

not sure about cod but i think black ops 1 or 2, or modern warefare 1 would of sold loooooads.
on ps3 black ops 2 is still heavily played.

Huh? There's plenty of great fighters to put in the game. What are you saying? Spence, Thurman, GGG, Canelo, rigo, lomachenko, Joshua, wilder, the list goes on.

Right. I'm sure one of those massive game developers would feel really good about making their money back.

No you didn't because an EA employee is not only under NDA, but also an "employee" wouldn't know that only a dev from the sports division would, and finally EA is notorious for firing their employee's as well as devs. They weren't voted the worst company in America 2 years in a row for no reason.


I know 3 EA devs past and present, not employee's. One of which worked on the last Max Payne and the other two are in the sports division. The MP dev talks loads only because his team got axed shortly after release. The other 2 never say anything about anything because they're scared to lose their job.

~1.8M units in 7 years is considered a flop for a AAA IP...thats a fact. Between PS3 and the 360 there is almost 170 units out there. Do the math.

I spoke to EA directly and they said they are making a new fight night. You can search up alot more games doing worse numbers than fight night did since 2011. And they keep making **** games, it wouldnt hurt to actually put effort into a well reviewed franchise like fight night.They are releasing alot more ****ty ones like UFC anyway is all im saying.
