Re: Begin Your Fight Night Champion Experience for Under 5 Bucks (PS3 Exclusive)

Wait a minute is everyone forgetting EA abandoned this game and decided not to put out anymore patches and left it broken. Legacy mode doesnt work. It freezes up 100% of the time. they were never able to get jab and body punch effectiveness correct. Unless I missed something and these issues were fixed. I guess for 5 bux its worth it tho. Beware of legacy mode unless im mistaken it was never addressed

The game is still broken but Champion Mode works as planned...but "Champion Mode" is just a tutorial in story mode.

I do like the idea of each item of a game being sold ala cart though. I basically only use FNC for fight Now fights. If that portion of the game with the complete roster was $5, it would be a bargain, even though the game played better at release than the patched and tuned version.

In fact, if EA would let me play the unpatched/untuned version with my Downloaded content for $5, I'd pay them for that. Sad but true.

This is bush league on EA's part. I have the PS3 version of Fight Night Champion, and guess what, if you create a boxer to take through Legacy mode, it crashes. That's right, the game is broken, so instead of trying to fix what they broke they are offering an "a la carte" version? Poor choice on your part EA, your game is broke for offline players and you have done nothing to fix it.

Lol so $10 for legacy and boxer share is a rip off?

I just bought the 1st part for $4.99 and plan on buying the "fight now" also. I want to know if anyone has bought "Legacy" and had any problems before I spend the $10.00.

Do you have to buy the online portion to get the Tuner Update and the Patches? I didn't see any patch install when I downloaded it last night.

I bet its part of the download, but if not consider yourself lucky, the game was much better before the patches and looney tuners.

It's says to download latest tuner to push the triangle. Should I not download it since I'm not going to play online?

I don't know, depends if you got the patches or not. Release day was better than the patched/tuned version, especially for off-line, for online too as far as I'm concerned.

I bought this game for 15$ full content off the Origin website. They had the 50% deal. Looking forward to finally playing a boxing game.

This just saved me $30 I was about to buy the game at Gamestop and saw this. I only bought the Champions mode though I would rather pay $5 then $30 for game modes I wont use.
