    2K SPORTS APPEAR TO be on track for an Spring release of Don King Presents: Prizefighter. According to 2K, players must train, overcome adversity, get promoted, and avoid temptation to rise in notoriety, all while watching the story of their rise to champion unfold in a unique, live-action, sports documentary style that features real-life greats from the world of boxing.

    2K have been kind enough to supply us with the following features and screenshots:

    Live the Boxing Life - A full career mode offers players a comprehensive story line that follows them through real-life boxing situations such as injuries, facing stacked odds against a corrupt judge, and more. These dramatic moments are told in a sports documentary style using the voices and images of world famous boxers and celebrities from the boxing world.

    The Best in the Ring and in the Booth - Don King Presents: Prizefighter offers up a roster of 30 licensed, active boxers and 10 classic, retired boxers. Classics include the likes of Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, and even the Cinderella Man himself, James Braddock. The play-by-play and color commentary are provided by none other than HBO Boxing broadcasters - Emmanuel Stewart and Jim Lampley.

    Knock Out! - The developers at 2K sports weren't afraid to get their hands dirty when it came to fine-tuning the fight mechanics in Don King Presents: Prizefighter. Cumulative effect punching and surprise one-punch knockdowns and knockouts will keep gamers on the edge of their seats during every match. Height, weight, reach, and strength all play a part in how well a fighter stacks up against the enemy.

    Hit the Virtual "Gym" - The unique online mode in Don King Presents: Prizefighter allows players to form and compete in "gyms" of friends or any available competitor. Players can choose from any of the legendary or active champions in Don King Presents: Prizefighter, or use up to 8 of their own customized boxers in this feature.

    Sorry for my ignorance, but does anyone know what is meant by cumulative effect punching? I hope this doesn't mean health bars.

      Cumulative effect punching means that you simply will not be able to take a lot of punishment for 12 rounds. Eventually, you'll be stopped. It could mean health bars but even if it does, I think that 2K will implement it better.

        This game just became very interesting. Trying to keep the excitement to a minimum for now, until more information comes out. It is the #1 game on my list at the moment.

            yeah that sounds really tight and this would be my #1 game if I hadn't seen the UFC 2009 game trailer with rampage and chuck fighting, that game needs to come out.

              Cumulative punching is like fighters floyd mayweather jr that don't have one punch Knockout power but if he beats on you enough he can knock you out. Miguel Cotto did it to Zab Jubah, beat on him till he didn't want anymore.

                  It all depends how it's implemented-I mean FN3 had "Cumulative Effect Punching" to some degree.

                      I don't wanna get to hype in this game,and because Don King's the face of it, I feel people won't take it serious,but I think it has sleeper potential and could fill the gap that the FN franchise left off......Can't wait til the Spring.

                        I would think it would be a fighter not being able to take consecutive power punches unguarded. In Fight Night, because of the strength bar, u could punch a defenseless fighter to no effect because his health bar remained high due to it being so early in the fight. I'm hoping if I were the fight a "user" controlled fighter and there not doing anything, I could wail away and the fight would be over in seconds.

                              Yes, nothing like trying to promote a nearly dead sport with the biggest negative there is to boxing.
