I never played it, as I don't own an Xbox 360. But did it die or will there be a new one coming?

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
I actually thought the game was fun. With some work they could've made it a competitive title.Comment

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
It suffered from sluggish controls and a terrible scoring system that took into consideration only the number of punches landed. So if you landed 35 out of 90 jabs you'd win the round over someone that landed 20 out of 25 hooks and 14 out of 20 uppercuts. (35>20+14). Foot positioning in throwing power punches worked well, but would have been much better without the slightly delayed responses.Comment

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
If they made a sequel, I'd buy it. There were many flaws, but that's cause the game was rushed. It had a solid foundation though.Never surrender, it's all about the faith u got
Don't ever stop, just push it 'til u hit the top
And if you fall, at least u know u gave it your all
Be true to you, and that way u can never fall

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
Really I thought the only thing that killed it was the hook to the body. You could see that coming from across the street other than that it was solid. And the career or story was basically what EA is doing now and I personally thought it was alot of fun.
EDIT: And now that I think about 2K's story mode.........Comment

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
I liked Prize Fighter. The Jab worked well and felt like it had snap. It had true 1 punch KO'
s.
Best video game boxing matches I ever had against the AI were:
1. Sugar Ray Leonard on the original fight night for PS2. I lost a 15(i think it was 15 for some reason) round decision with my Created Cotto. I rematched and lost again and never won that Title. SR would dance in and out and I could never get him cornered.
2. The Steroid guy in Prize Fighter. That guy would not quit coming at you. He was ahead on points and was was going in for the kill when I 1 punched KO'd him in the 11th.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.Comment

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
Yeah, I had success throwing power punches with Pavlik, and achieved something like a 35-12 record online. Many times I'd knock my opponent out, and many times I'd win easily by throwing the jab and simply outpointing those oblivious to the scoring system.Comment

Re: Did Prizefighter die?
Agreed. It had some flaws, but there was some fun to be had if you could look past them. The saying "you get out what you put in" (or however it goes) describes PF perfectly. I love landing those stepping punches as counters when my opponent comes in."If you claim to be the best then you FIGHT the best! You don't duck and you don't pick and you don't choose and if you get your butt kicked you just get your butt kicked!"
