Im about to do my write up but here are my intial thoughts about the game.
NEG
Glitches with importing cpu characters (mayweather took on david hayes face and retired early)
Punches have no weight unless you counter, i realize the emphasis is on clean punches but too many of my punches feel weak (maybe increase punch sounds)
Knockdowns are ho-hum...no devastation
Calender feels a bit clunky...so does the interface for checking things out
CPU still wears funky non matching clothing
I'm not sure if this is throughout, but early on 10 fights in, I am only able to schedule 3 training sessions
Awards are glitched...they are giving me way to many nominations...especially when I am ranked so low
When introducing my character it would be nice if the volume was turned up on the announcer so I can hear "GOLDEN" ROGERS
Also with ring intro...put full name in...my characters name is Naymon Rogers...it shouldn't say N. Rogers
Way too many emails about up and commers that have 11 losses. I got an email saying this guy was rising fast but he was 10-11, makes no sense
Custimization needs more hair choices, there are very few.
Where are the tatoos?
Where are the taunts?
Players bodies feel unproportionate
While legacy is deep...it has no personality. It feels like a mode that is in its baby stages.
More EA SPORTS presentation to tie it together
Where are the rivalries they talked about? Unless its invisible
Ametuer Tournament is ok...but why not make it golden gloves...or let my character fight in the olympics (Announcer can say i was a gold medalist)
Hard to see face damage...I have only seen a cut once and why does my swelling and cuts start at 99 ovr? I hope this deteriorates with age
Can not see the damage I inflicted on CPU in between rounds. I wanna see if hes cut if hes swelling like in FNR3
TPC while responsive can be a bit clunky where jabs come out as body hooks etc etc
More names in the database is needed (Why is there no mayweather?) and we can always use more nicknames
POS
Much improved career mode
AI is good...adapts even on PRO difficulty
New better training games...even though I suck at them...consistently get between 1 and 3 points
Fighter i was scheduled to fight got hurt, so someone took his place
Custimization to the stars (Unlockables)
For the most part ring commentary is good but too much repition (If i have to hear GREED is one of the 7 deadly sins one more time)
Online Champ belt
Great stat tracking (can even email yourself your stats)
Ability to include created fighters-uninclude legends like ali-make the rankings and champions
Wishlist FNR5
Better PPV presentation...really seperate that from friday night fights. Perhaps have a cut scene of foreman and max kellerman talking about your fight
The inclusion of 24/7 if you are a top fighter that shows cut scenes of you training, at a bbq, trainer trash talk ala freddy roach and floyd senior
24/7 could show a small montauge of the upcoming fight to hype up your fight
Tale of the tape before the fight
Better in game announcing
Better Legacy presentation and personality (Tie it all together EA)
Better knockdowns and weighted punches...let me feel like i have heavy hands...the glancing blows glance to much
Press Conferences ala WWE Smackdown vs Raw...perhaps in text...let me choose my response. whether to guarentee victory the round i will knockhim out etc
Boasting should have benefits and drawbacks like popularity boost/loss
After fight interviews...saying who i would like to fight next
True Rivarly system
Punching in the clinch
Better pre fight announcing...with records and intros at least on par with UFC unleashed 2009
More training games (Treadmill...etc etc)
More ring intro options...maybe create an entrance like WWE Smackdown where I can choose an elaborate entrance like being carried out like a king or on a carpet like Prince Naseem
Ring entrance let me choose a rapper to perform like 50 cent did for mayweather
Ability to do custom nicknames even if they arent said by the announcer
Maybe some spanish fighters have trainers speaking in spanish with a translator telling you the advice
Retired fighters can start a stable (Like GOlden Boy)
Ability to hire trainers
Trainer personalities
Money for fights...ability to negotiate spilts depending on popularity 60/40 and venue youd like to fight in
Let me choose to buy things with my money...like NBA Cribs...option to buy a gym to increase training effects
Option to be in the public more...like mayweather...cars mansions etc
Interviews on ESPN Sportscenter about upcoming fights
Maybe have a radio show like Madden did a couple years ago, where they talk about champions and your upand coming fighter
Cut scenes of movie stars in attendance or possible champions who are watching your fight to scout you
