    Fight Night Champion: Build a Champion or Create Your Legacy with New Trailer

    This video is also available on the OS Youtube channel, please subscribe while you're there.

    IGN has just posted some new details on Fight Night Champion, focusing on Build a Champion and Create Your Legacy modes.

    "Hayes promises Legacy Mode is greatly improved. "Legacy Mode is the only place you can go to create a boxer and fight your way through the division rankings, trying to become a champion, a Hall-of-Famer or potentially the Greatest Of All Time," he told IGN.

    You'll notice the difference the moment you step into the ring as an amateur. There's now authentic amateur gear and scoring, which should help that first year of development fell less like the beginning of a Karate Kid movie and more like the real deal.

    Unlike Legacy Mode, which has you create your own fighter from scratch and guide his career and development, Champion Mode is a scripted story. Following the career of up-and-comer Andre Bishop, Champion Mode offers something totally new for the Fight Night franchise – a character with a personality, a background, a family, and believable emotions.

    Hayes described the story for IGN: "Andre is an outstanding boxing talent. He and his younger brother Raymond are trained by Gus Carisi. Gus used to train their father, who was also a promising boxer at one time. Andre has tremendous potential and DL McQueen, a promoter, is bent on controlling his career. Andre and Gus aren't interested in working with McQueen and the story centers around the struggles Andre faces trying to reach his potential with a variety of obstacles thrown in his way."

    Looks interesting.

    But as a hardcore boxing fan, I would've loved to have seen this type of drama and emotion somehow merged into Legacy mode.

            This is the best direction they could have taken the Fight Night franchise. This game has SLEEPER HIT written all over it. It has the potential to be the first sports game with a soul.

                the story looks like it has a lot more substance than Prizefighter. i'm looking forward to this.
                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

                      Exactly! Why have 2 modes that now need work? Andre Bishop could've just been a selectable boxer in legacy mode.

                        i like it but would rather see my own guy go through the motion of that. I may play it as long as I have control over his type of training what type of boxer i want him to become. So if I want to make him a slugger instead of a boxer hopefully the story changes up some.

                            Yes it is two stand alone modes.

                            We asked and knew the community would have issues with not allowing CAF or your own boxer into the story. EA already thought of this and was stuck having to make a decision.

                            If they wanted to have a true "movie" like story they would have to have all the characters in that story to be EA made characters. Because it would be extremely out of place if the whole story was set in "the hood", you have a black momma, black brother, and then you have some user created white as paper nerd looking boxer. It would throw the whole immersion out the window.

                            So instead EA made the tough decision to bring in real actors (You guys will know some of them). Also had a Hollywood writer, write the story. So to keep it all together they just created all the characters.

                            Guys I am not joking, the parts we got to play were soooo damn cool. I was so pumped to see this included in the game. We have never had the pleasure of having a "GTA IV" style story in a sports game. I wanted to play the entire story while I was there.

                            The best part is, it does not take away from the game in any way. It is just a extra addition. Another words everyone will still play their legacy and online, but they can also play through this single player story mode. They wanted to try something completely new. All I know is it had me very excited!!!
