Re: Fight Night Boxing Franchise on Indefinite Hold, Focus is on EA Sports UFC
Lol. Was this typed with a serious face? Boxing was dead after Ali...then the Big 4...then Tyson...then Lewis/Holyfield...then De La Hoya...then Pac...then Mayweather, etc... Some of you guys need to not post about things you don't understand. It is like the people in the states who make fun of soccer. Who cares that this franchise is on hold as it was a terrible product. They didn't even have enough sense to not put a random actor on the cover of the last game. I feel really sorry for my MMA brethren who are getting hyped about UFC EA. The chances of it being a fun, quality product are so slim that there is zero reason to follow it with the smallest chance of being surprised. |

A good game is a good game. Word of mouth is a fire that can spread or die. I know plenty of games I'm not a fan of, but just from hearing people talk about them made me want to play them.
Sports games that I would play but I'm not a fan or huge fan of the sport it's self.. NFL(I watch a game here and there..definitely the playoffs) NBA(I watch it but not faithfully) MLB(maybe the playoffs and World Series) UFC(A few fights here and there, mostly major fights) Soccer(can't watch it) PGA( only when Tiger Wood's play) NHL(Can't watch it) Tennis(Can't watch it, but I love Serena and Venus Williams) Wrestling(I was a huge fan back in the days but I don't watch it anymore) The reason I can play some of these sports games is because they are make very close to the sport contains. If the game doesn't have it, it doesn't have it and I move on. I loved NFL 2K and it set the bar in many areas that the Madden series was/is lacking. NBA 2K amazes me every time around, NBA Live left a bad taste in my mouth so I left the series alone. The point I'm making is that the sport doesn't necessarily has anything at all to do with a badly made game.
If boxing is dead I saw alot of people at it's repeated funeral.

Re: Fight Night Boxing Franchise on Indefinite Hold, Focus is on EA Sports UFC
Fight Night Round 4 sold very well. It proved that a good boxing game can and will sell.
FNC didn't sell well. Why? Because instead of proving a truly sim experience of what it takes to train a boxer in and out of the ring, they focused on a canned and linear story mode. If they had built off of FNRd4 by tweaking the gameplay and then adding in features that are present in their NFL and NHL games, such as a Manager mode, I'm positive FNC would have eclipsed Rd4 sales. I hope that MMA fans realize what they're going to get with EA's new UFC game. I wouldn't be surprised if the team, instead of focusing on the training, managing and promotion of fighters, gives gamers another linear storymode that will mimic the movie "Warrior". But with my bad luck, EA UFC will provide an incredibly deep and versatile managers/trainers mode that I would have given my left leg to have in FN.

Re: Fight Night Boxing Franchise on Indefinite Hold, Focus is on EA Sports UFC
Mayweather is the last name remaining that casual fans are interested in paying to see. Boxing has done a TERRIBLE job over the years building up new names. Go ask a someone who says they watch boxing every now & then who Canelo Alvarez is and most wouldn't know. My brother i'd consider a casual boxing fan and when I was over his house to watch the Mayweather fight he asked me who would he fight next and I rattled off 3 different names and he knew none of them other than Amir Khan. Will boxing go on after Mayweather? Of course. But tell me who is drawing in the casual fan? The Mayweather-Guerrero fight was advertised during March Madness, they had a 24/7 type show on Showtime, they had advertisements in magazines, but it still couldn't do 1 million PPV buys.
