Fight Night Round 4 Announced, Mike Tyson Featured

[DTX3]

Typical EA, they get competition and try to kill it with a big name...im really not excited for Tyson, maybe if it was years ago but not now...just give us a better and bigger career mode, please.

Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather Jr are the two best p4p fighters ever. Believe that. I hope they have two versions of them both in the game from when they were young and in their primes.

I agree its typical EA to try to kill the competition, but for the life of me, I can't figure out 2k's marketing. They do more damage to themselsves with their lack of product promotion than EA could ever do to them.

2k elected to have Don King and paid him $1M +. I am sure they could have gotten Tyson, PBF, etc. for that type of money. EA made the right business move, regardless of how frustrated I get with EA's games, I have to give them all the credit in the world for their marketing tactics.

There's a reason why they're #1.

There are websites out there that have 1/10th the exposure IGN or OS have and yet they get invited to view games privately - on EA's dime. They don't have to do it, but they do.

2K could learn a thing or two about that.

Cha Ching!!!! I'm buying it.

Mike Tyson baby!!! About time!

I wonder if its going to be an old Tyson model, or that whack one, with the damn tattoo on his face!

Awesome. Im not even looking forward to Prizefighter that much anymore. This game will hopefully be the real deal.

No lifebars just knockouts based on physics and impact, angles all that. Gimme an awesome career mode with multiple belts and rivals with great AI. and i will forever love EA.
