There were some excellent CABs of Rocky, Drago, and Apollo in FN4.

I hate it when athletes do this. But I can tell you why I wouldn't pay $65 for this game. If I am in my career facing guys like Ali and Frazier I'm not too interested. It's just not realistic that I would be fighting these guys in 2010. If there was a way to turn that option off I would be all for it. But I had Fight Night a few years ago and this bugged me. I ended up playing Rocky Legends more often and had a lot more fun with it, To me this series isn't worth more than $19.99 and the game always ends up on the discount rack after about 8 months so why should I pay more? Give me more of a reason. I don't care about gimmicks like playing cut man. I just want to box.

Yeah, I don't know the details on career mode, but I don't understand why they can't provide ultimate flexibility in terms of the fighters in your world, including CABs. Is it a stupid Achievement standard or what?

The gameplay is the most important thing to me, but I would like to see more of that roster flexibility in career mode, and a simple tourney mode as well.

Who are you guys?

Sentence is kind of choppy but what I make out from it is you are asking if there is anything else they plan on letting out???

What do you guys want to know and I will answer what I can.

# 45 Complex @ 12/20/10 01:47 PM

Id like to see sparring take on more meaning. How you spar should reflect how your CAB is improved. I mean if I jab and dance while sparring, why would my strength go up?

Well EA used to have the Magic Mouthguard, the boxing shoes of Elvin Kind, and the Boxing Gloves of Ogre strength. All that special equipment that would add to your attributes. I hope they never try to cross dungeons and dragons with boxing again.

The further EA distances itself from Rocky the better. Half the matches in Round 3 were Rocky fights, too many punches, multiple knockdowns, etc.

# 48 Hova57 @ 12/21/10 04:24 PM

Sorry Phobia, I type while i'm thinking and ramble sometimes(who am I kidding all the time)

Is there anything else to let out about FNC?

To me its obvious most want to see video of gameplay, but are there anymore modes or features left.

I would like to know how is the training system going to be different in Career mode vs Legend or what ever its called. The Storyline mode.

Yeah exactly. And online i found great CABs of all the Rocky characters. I would never in a million years pay for that when i can get it for free.

No way bro! Things need to change. Thats the attitude EA wants you to have.

You can't come out with the same bull**** every year. You have to innovate.
Thank god the developers of NBA2k11 don't think like you or believe its customers think like you do.

Can't accept that. If the FNC demo doesn't blow me away I'll definitely wait for reviews and OS reaction before I make a purchase.

There are a lot of things EA needs to improve on, and I'm not terribly confident they will.

I am not bitter or up in arms about it, I am just offering an opinion. Years ago, I wrote about having your fighter go thru the olympics and/or jail as part of a career. I would like to think that EA listened to this as it is in Fight Night this year. Making suggestions to push the genre forward is NEVER a bad thing.

True, I can mark off a few things from the wishlist I sent them last October that I see in the game. I wonder how much more did they use.

I really hope they used the whole tendencies list and improved the CAB mode drastically. I will be upset if it wasn't because the roster is so limited and we have 100 slots now.
