Quote:

- more dynamic default camera

Prays there's a stationary camera

Quote:

- One button blocking allowing you to tap for a single punch or hold for lasting coverage

I was hoping for some defensive assist a la NBA 2K

Quote:

- punching out of the block

? out of the clinch maybe?

Quote:

- Haymakers are gone, replaced with a power modifier for all punches

Sweet!

Quote:

- New stun states, including a "rung bell" that can last minutes, and even carry round to round

Sweet! Hope they don't screw this up with some silly slow mo animations are birds flying around a boxer's head

Quote:

- TWO stamina bars, aerobic and anaerobic. One for punching one for movement

Hopefully stamina is present in the animations. I like turning the meters off.

Quote:

- Much closer inside fighting, including moving the opponent chest to chest

Punching in the clinch?

Quote:

- In ring referee

Sweet! I hope they did a good job with this. I also hope this means we get a stationary camera. Swivel cam & ref don't go together.

Quote:

- Automated between round corner game. Balanced and no more "points"

Yes! Just give us some good/relevant animations & audio

Quote:

- Fighters move different over the course of a lengthy fight

Hope this means quicker, more realistic footwork

Quote:

- In addition to Legacy mode (which is returning) there is a new "Champion" mode that is yet to be revealed

Hopefully they didn't split too much time between modes. We just need ONE good career mode.

Quote:

- 10 training minigames

Still calling them mini games? I'm nervous. Hopefully they get rid of the meters & flashing lights.

Nice list. I hope they get this right

I am sorry but by far the best news from that list is the power button modifier. Thank you, thank you. Haymakers do not exist in boxing or this dojo. Finally someone at EA started paying attention. I can't wait to throw a range finding jab or a soft jab with a powerful overhand right after it.

All I ask at this point is no counter, parry, fireball, or anything that makes it gimmicky.

I don't really mind the gimmciky counter window/ parry crap but I'd be just fine if it all went away.
