The guy who wrote the article has some really great ideas but i honestly tell yall without a shadow of a doubt that you will NEVER see those things in an EA sports game.

I'll have to agree with you. I have been on a campaign for years wanting EA to give fans realistic presentation of sports.

I think presentation is low hanging fruit for this franchise and should've been implemented a long time ago.

More emphasis on the career of a boxer and all it takes to make it in the ring, in a word preparation.

QFT.
Champions are made and carved in training camps and preparing for fights. That's the one area that's never been done in any boxing game but needs to.
I can't tell you how bored I am with the generic training/point grabs that exist in every boxing title (with the exception of VB2).

Sparring, watching tape, diet, training all need to be incorporated for Rd5.
Getting a fighter in peak condition or hitting that 'sweet spot' just before a fight is crucial in pro boxing. The gamer should feel that and understand it.
The training camp aspect should be deeper and more rewarding than the fight itself.

If casual fans don't like it, just implement a CPU-controlled camp so they can ignore that part of the game.

But I do love the ideas this writer brought up. I desperately want a weekly show that rounds out all the latest fights, belts changing hands and ratings, etc.

They need to get rid of Haymakers and speacial punches. This in itself makes the game un-realistic. Haymakers should be user controlled not an animation that requires minimal user input. And special punches should be left to titles like Street Fighter.

Fighters shouldn't always be squared up. You should be able to be side on with your opponent when you side step. I'm probably not explaining this right but hopefully someone else understands me.

I do, getting in position is a huge part of punching and landing.

I need them to fix the fighting before they touch any of that stuff. Better, quicker footwork, easier punching as promised, better defense & punching in the clinch are my must haves. Closing that counter window, rating each punch-type separately & adding more power to the straight right are very high on my list as well.

As for presentation, I want a stationary camera that shows most, if not all of the ring. I hate the swinging close up views.

But yeah, all that stuff would be great if the action in the ring is improved.
