This just in from EA Sports FN Forum by FN RD 4 producer/developer:

"I agree too. Somewhat...

A small problem with this idea is that there are plenty of guys on this list that might not be champs anymore by the time the game comes out. If a guy like Andreas Kotelnik didn't have a belt - would most people have thought of his name? What if he loses to Marcos Rene Maidana next month? Would you want him? Or would you wish we had just gone after another, more well- known, top-rated contender who may not happen to have a belt right now? It's tough to make plans based on what whose holding an alphabet title at any given moment, that's all I'm saying.

*NOTE: I am not saying that either guy is in or out of the game.*

If we could, we would put every fighter we can think of in the game. Unfortunately, its not as simple as making a list (I wish it was). Having to sign each boxer individually and negotiate with each individual's management is costly. We would love to have everybody we can think of, but the budget only goes so far. Building the roster is tricky business.

I can't tell you who is on the roster yet, but I can tell you that FN4 will have the biggest roster of any Fight Night game to date and the team is pretty excited about the boxers we have."

Good news, hopefully the gameplay will be all what it is hyped up to be also.

Yeah, I have been telling people for years; they could add thousands upon thousands of boxers but it's not that easy.

Man, I really hope boxing catches up this year.

Yea statum, my only fear is that past Fight Night sale numbers are huge so they might be content with doing just few refinements to a hot selling formula. It's been 3 years after all, it better be a big improvement.
