Would've preferred warnings & points. Boxers hold to preserve themselves.

Cool as long as stamina and other aspects are simulated realistically. Good to see you can turn that stuff off.

I wouldn't pay any way.

I'm still waiting/hoping for news on the footwork since my purchase depends on it.

Good lookin stuff there. Very excited for this game. Very excited. Bring on the Demo.

my guess is that the demo will be Manny Pacquiao vs. "Sugar" Shane Mosley and that there will probably be some sort of unlockable item for playing/sharing the demo like in the last few EA Sports demo releases.

I hope this demo is put on a more challenging level than the FN4 demo. Better yet, I hope that all the levels are included. *

-Can only control 1 fighter in Legacy Mode

I'm a little pissed about this.

I'm hoping we can at least utilize(but not control) multiple CABs in Legacy mode but I'm not holding my breath.

I can't understand why it's so difficult to give us the ability to create 50 plus fighters but only use 1 in Legacy. I can't imagine that using more than one CAB is too complicated to add to the game. We've been asking for it for years now.
