I gave them a pretty throrough survey hopefully if enough people do it we can make a difference.

I agree. With the UFC licence going to EA something tells me all their eggs will go in that basket for a new UFC game next season.

From what I've seen FNC didn't sell nearly as well as FNRd4 so who knows if EA feels there's any real value to boxing.
I hope we see FNC2 next year. But really, if the career mode is still paper thin, I'm not sure I'll even care.
Unlike team sports games, the career mode in boxing is the most important aspect IMO.
Unfortunately, I don't feel very confident that the developers would agree.
You can't make a lot of money via micro-transactions in an offline career mode.
Just look at the NHL series. The developers all but admitted that they neglected AI and gameplay the last 3 seasons. And what did they do during that time? HUT, EASHL; Two modes that make a tonne of cash through micro-transactions.

Good points on the career mode. What else can they do with a one on one game? They tried with the XP system this go around, and they tried to get people interested with the Champion mode, but ti didn't work. There isn't much at all they can do to incorporate micro-transactions.

The only thing I think would help in getting people to do a second take would be to get Mayweather Jr. on the cover and in the game. That would sell copies, but you could get by with that in maybe 1 version or 2. This is where I think they decided to go after the UFC and put their efforts there. Paying Mayweather JR. isn't as beneficial to them as having the UFC.

The survey isn't from the devs. Supposedly they said they would look at it and use it as a reference.

I'm somewhat concerned that we may not see a Fight Night next year. 2013 would be the time for its next showing with 2012 being the off year, but nothing of it was mentioned at E3, making me wonder if EA is letting it rest for now.

With all that troubles FNC, it does have potential if they could continue to improve on the game's physics system and make things less canned in the animation dept. and more fluid.

Trust me they have been monitoring the survey. I was even asked how the survey was going awhile go. I gave the producers the password so they could monitor it themselves instead of me keep posting the survey stats to them.

Someone from EA told that Fight Night is still in their portfolio and isn't going anywhere, whatever that means...I don't know at the moment.
