Open Letter to EA - Boxing Shells?

I love Fight Night Round 4. I want to put that out there intially, because anytime someone writes a review or letter it always seems like bashing. I do not want that to be the case here.

What I am writing about is a suggestion to the game. While you are bound by the legal system for inputting certain fighters in the game, no one has a license on physical attributes. Why not put up boxer 'shells'? For instance, boxer types online that we can download and add faces on our own.

Perhaps Shell A is a 5'7 welterweight, southpaw, with great hand speed and pop in both hands, glass jaw, and average stamina (not to be confused with Zab Judah *wink*). Maybe Shell B is a middleweight with an 81 inch reach (surely not the 82 inch of Paul Williams), good speed, but average power, and weak blocking abilities.

What I am saying is create these 'shells' for us and you all can limit the attributes, even exceed the cap points for their weight class to give them extra attributes. These could be placed online, not to be altered but simply used as is perhaps only allowing us to add our faces via photo face.

What do you think?
