Fight Night Champion: To the Penitentiary and Beyond

Re: Fight Night Champion: To the Penitentiary and Beyond

The inmates are running the asylum over at EA. Profit > Quality(consumer satisfaction)

Its backwards logic. thinking that dumbing down a product will cause it to sell more is just outrageous.
Thinking that a boxing game can do Halo numbers is beyond stupid.

NBA2k11 sold so well because it was the best basketball game ever made. the most realistic. and the most difficult bball game as well.

If Fight Night Champion knocks the gameplay out of the park, makes it realistic. Includes the best legacy mode ever made, Millions of people will buy it.
The reason i rushed out and bought UFC 09 wasn't because i was a huge UFC fan(I'm not), it was because the gameplay was spectacular and balanced 1 punch KO's etc.

Don't tell me they don't have the resources. The best legacy mode i've ever played is still Boxers Road for the PSP which is only like 5% english. I have no clue what my trainers or manager or sparring partners are saying, and its still amazing.

Its sooo freaking sad man. I really wish i had the money to create my own boxing game, or if i was an executive at EA with the power to make the game the right way.

Yet the inmates cleverly get our $$ every year. I buy Madden faithfully year after year anticipating release day, anxiously ready to buy and then think, wow same game, different year, should have rented it.

Like one guy said, it's just a "polished turd". You can dress it up real nice, wax it, sugar coat it, put candy on it, add the bells and whistles, put some nice scenery behind it. But it still doesn't change the essence of what it is, a turd.

I'm right with you on NBA2k11. I grew up playing football, it's my sport. Since 2005, I've been frustrated with virtual football. I'm a weekend warrior b-baller. So yeah, it's odd for me that Madden has been shelved for 2k11. My buddy was a LB who played against Drew Brees in HS, and neither of us are playing Madden but we talk all the time about how good 2k11 is. Bought UFC10 and was immersed in that for a while too.

So man, I hope I'm way off on this because I really want that boxing manager sim.
M rated gives me the indication there isn't enough good sim quality here to sell itself. Until we stop being disillusioned to these marketing schemes, we buy with regret shortly thereafter. Guess I'll be waiting on this one to see what SHAKYR and some of you real boxers think about this one before I get it. Then I'll decide whether or not to join the EA boycott campaign.
