Re: Fight Night Champion Added to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility Library

I’m far from a “non-boxing” fan, I’ve been a diehard boxing fan for 20+ years.

Sorry, shouldn't assume anything. No hard feelings.

Posted on ea forums aswell , someone replied, said that you need to pay again , but on the fnc store it says I have purchased but there's something wrong with the update' I ain't buying it again that's for sure lol. Hopefully ea see that the update is a problem for some people and fix it.

Im not paying for it again after already paying £20 for a 7yr old game, even if I wanted to I cant as the boxes are ticked.

I just want a bit of fun with bare knuckle mode lol, plus the extra fighters helps pad out the roster.

Yup...the graphical leap they made from FNR4 to FNC was pretty impressive. Easily one of the best looking games from last gen imo. Just imagine what FN would look like on current gen.

I would have no problem paying $60 for the exact same game with a slight upgrade in graphics, more fps, and a few new licensed boxers. I get so envious when I see how good UFC looks.

I know right?!? Wouldn’t that be a nice EA Play/ E3 surprise.

Those online numbers are impressive.
It makes me wonder if EA is doing this to test the waters on an updated boxing game.

IMO, if they still have Tyson's license, just rename the series "Mike Tyson Boxing" and non-boxing fans will lap it up.

Considering they imported the striking mechanics from FNC into UFC, I'd have to think a boxing game is basically written already.

I honestly think EA could pump out a boxing game fairly quickly with renewing all their licenses being the trickiest part.

(Brizzo commented on what a pain in the arse it was to get ahold of some of these fighters. Roy Jones Jr was the most difficult of them all. Even his agent said he had no idea how to get ahold of him - this was prior to him taking a gig as an HBO commentator).

I'm not that confident in EA and I need a better game than FNC.

Ali and Tyson were on the cover of one of the Fight Nights. How were the sales for that one? I'm asking-I don't know.

He was still on the canvas from being knocked out by Antonio Tarver...

I wouldn’t name the game anything other than Fight Night as picking one guy could impact getting other boxers.

And if any person behind a billion dollar business has a hard time getting in touch with a fighter, they are doing it wrong. Boxers are one of the easier athletes to get their cell number and sit down face to face.

If you send someone who understands the business and the sport, you could set up a suite in Vegas during canelo-ggg 2/boxfanexpo and a ton of named guys would drop by for a quick Mocap/pics and whatnot. Yes, not every fighter will do it for free, but many named guys just want to be asked. They want to be in the game. The rest, you send a guy who understands the business and the sport and you will get everyone you need and under budget. I would bet my life that a 30 minute meeting with a quick presentation of numbers with a guy like Eddie Hearn would result in major success. These guys aren’t dumb and they get the big picture...but you can’t send guys who don’t know how to position why fight night should be used as free advertising for the much bigger and important number.

The online numbers are definitely a lot better than I expected. Went from about the 200's to the 2000's fairly quick, meaning a lot of ppl grabbed the game. A 7 yr old boxing game that has online numbers even remotely close to the new UFC 3's, should be enough to show EA that ppl are in the market for a new boxing game.

That was FNR4. From what I heard, that one didn't do all that well in sales, considering it was competing with the new UFC 09 game. MMA and UFC were on the spike of rise at that time and that was their first game in yrs, so tons of ppl grabbed that game.

Is there an online pass for this game that you have to pay extra for?

There was when the game first came out. It came with it when you bought the game. But I think they discontinued it cuz some ppl were having probs with the codes or something like that....not quite sure.

Not even EA Access?

EDIT: I see you don't need EA access. It's the game I remember.
