You call me a pessimist, I call myself a realist. The writing's on the wall that they blew it. Like they above poster said, all they had to do is expand on Fight Night Round 2's career mode and we'd be set. They had multiple weight classes with 50+ boxers per class. All we needed was 100+ boxers per class and multiple belt s per division. Should have been easy enough with the Xbox 360's processor. I also like how in Fight Night round 2, your created boxers would get sprinkled into the rankings, so I was fighting a ton of real boxers on my way up the charts.
I wanted multiple boxers in the stable. Multiple careers going at the same time, so me and a buddy could possibly cross paths, and a ton of boxers. Looks like this will fail on all counts. I'm disappointed to say the least.
They could have just followed they same model as victorious boxers: boxers road and we'd all be happy. But No......you have to follow some linear story that will kill the replay value.
