Yes they have.

WOW. Just... WOW.

I love the slow pace. Makes it more methodical in my opinion.

Wish that counters wouldn't ALWAYS leave you open... if a guy blocks your shot well, you don't just sit there dumbfounded like that.

Aside from that though... INCREDIBLE!

Looks pretty sweet. Hopefully they have a multi-boxer career feature - and hopefully it rocks. I know once you get in the ring, it's fun. If the features needed are there, then this game will be sweet.

What features are in the career mode. Is there anywhere I can read this info? Thanks!

You touched on my one and only pet peeve with this game. Having one of your punches blocked shouldn't necessarily leave you open to get clocked. Furthermore, you shouldn't stand there stunned with your gloves down allowing your opponent to get a free punch in. It just looks idiotic. This type of animation would be fine in an arcade beat em' up type game, but not in a boxing game. I really don't understand it as I've never seen that in a real boxing match.

I'm definitely not too enthused about the playable camera option in the demo. I realize that in past versions, there have been numerous camera options, so I really hope that's the case with this game. The one thing that pissed me off to no end with Madden on the 360 was the lack of camera options. NO F'N EXCUSE EA.

I really thought the responsiveness in the demo was quite good. I was using the right stick to punch and my combos were pretty quick. Throwing a haymaker with the right stick was very easy. Couldn't figure out how to block, but bobbing and weaving was fluid.

The game is shaping up quite well. It goes without saying the boxers looks unbelieveable. Did anyone notice if the shorts move? In NBA 2K6, it just added to the realism with the jerseys moving.

I really do hope we get a ton more realistic boxing environments. Sorry, but fighting at the circus is stupid. Wish they could include about 10-15 real life arenas. Not just the big names, but other venues in and around the world.

Looking forward to this game now that that CH has been delayed.

I'm really interested in seeing what they do with the ESPN licensing in terms of the arenas, especially in career mode. On the demo they mention ESPN Tuesday/Friday Night Fights. I haven't heard much mention of the arenas in any previews I've seen.
