Boxing videogame campaign, do you want another boxing game?

[SHAKYR]

I'm trying to push EA for more realism and another game. I'm also asking other companies to make a game. Stop believing the it's the sport that's killing sells. It's that fans expect more in overall gameplay and realism to the sport it's self.

I definitely want another boxing game that simply has an emmersive career mode.

At this point I won't hold my breathe. I don't think any company will risk a loss, sign individual contracts, and I don't believe many will do there homework to really bring boxing to life.

I'm not going to give up. If NBA 2K producers can be passionate and give all them players signature moves and abilities, another company can do the same. A boxing game needs to be deep like MLB The Show and all the true to the sport games.
It's not about individual boxers signings. EA is being too selective or stubborn. I had a list of boxers who wanted to be in the game. They only used 3 out of 25 or more boxers I had.
What EA needs to do is push it's Create A Boxer mode more by upgrading so fans can make accurate boxers.

i wish the designers of the victorious boxers series took that engine and improved it and made it more sim, added clinching, and a slower pace. the mechanics in that were very cool. they could use the PS2 engine, improve it, and make it for PC. and add an online component where you can play lag free matches with custom boxers you used in career mode. maybe add the broadcast camera angle they had for the PSP version of victorious spirits.

not a fan of EA at all.... to get the ultimate realistic boxing game, someone else will have to make it.

Sadly this has become a MMA driven world.I would love a new boxing game but I think a lot of companies don't look at it as a cash cow.

According EA first MMA game and THQ's last UFC game MMA isn't selling the way it should. If MMA was what everyone is saying sales will show this with the logic people are using.

It boils down to how deep and realistic a game is. It's not the popularity. If popularity of a sport dictates sells EA's NBA LIVE would have been on shelves right now selling well. NBA 2K sells huge numbers because it's the closest you can get to a sports game out there.

Re: Boxing videogame campaign, do you want another boxing game?

I haven't played Fight Night and ages and I think I'm about to buy it again. I'm really itching for a boxing game and I need something right now. Does anyone still play it and have their been any patches to improve the gameplay? It's been so long that I don't really even remember what I didn't like about it. I know it wasn't really a great simulation, but hopefully it can give me some sort of fix.

As much as I love MMA, I also really hope that somebody eventually decides to step back into the boxing arena. A boxing game with NBA 2K authenticity would be amazing. If a company can deliver an outstanding product the sales will come. They need to stay away from the gimmicks and give us an accurate representation of what we see in the ring. I just don't believe that there's no market for a boxing game to be successful. Someone just needs to have the proper vision, drive and financial backing to actually make it happen. I doubt we'll see another boxing title this generation though.

I can't play the game. My expectations were/is to high for a boxing game.

UFC 3 has actually sold well. Nobody should EVER expect any UFC game to sell as well as the first 1 did. It was the perfect storm: 1) First good UFC game ever and 2) Came out during the height of the UFC's popularity when Brock, Chuck, Silva and GSP were all extremely active.

It has EVERYTHING to do with a sports popularity. You talk to the average 16 yr old (right in a fighting game core demo) and they can maybe name 3-5 boxers (Floyd, Pac and maybe Cotto). Some may know the K Brothers. Some may know Marquez. But the majority of current boxers are unknown to the average teenager. That means that a 1/3 of the roster has unknown boxers that most casual fans dont care about.

Then you have the old-school fighters who that same 16 yr old has never or rarely seen fight. Take Mike Tyson. His last win was 2003. That 16 yr old was 6 at that time. His period of dominance was before that kid was even born. They know Mike more as the guy from the Hangover than a dominant HW champion. And thats a guy who fought in the '00.

If a sport is popular and the game is average (NBA Live isnt even average right now) the game will sell. The problem is Boxing isnt popular outside of its two superstars and only one of them is in the game.

I actually play FNC regularly. I'm strictly offline and have set up a offline league just like I do with UFC. With slider tweaks and some roster edits, the game is solid. I would prefer more realism like more diverse AI strategies and added clinching but I accept it for what it is.

I think you've got the right idea about accepting the it for what it is. I downloaded it from XBL today and have spent about an hour and half with the game. I was immediately reminded of things that I disliked about it, but overall I enjoyed myself and had a few decent matches. The one with my CAF Mayweather versus Pacman was especially good. I landed for 41% of my punches and Manny landed 37% in a 10 round draw. Hopefully I can get a slider set to get me competitive fights like that on a regular basis.

I did an offline league similar to you in UFC Undisputed and think I'll do the same with this to add some life to the game. I found the career modes in both games to be kind of stale after a while (although UFC's was a step in the right direction) and it seemed more interesting just setting up my own little fighting universe. I do hope we get another boxing title from someone one of these days though. At least this is still something to play in the meantime.

I can understand having passion for something and wanting to see it done right. What do you consider the best boxing video game ever made up to this point?
