The cover displays both Ali and Tyson in accordance to how the fans voted for several months on the official Fight Night site.

This comes by way of a MaxBoxing.com interview. Victor Ortiz manager said:

"Electronic Arts has just signed him and we are actually finalizing the last details of the contract, and there are some other people that have displayed some interest."

So, not a sure fire thing but perhaps this is another boxer we can count on for Fight Night Round 4 yet undisclosed roster.

It has been a while since I posted a blog post, that is in no small part due to Twitter being the way I am currently pushing any short news on Fight Night.  Be that as it may, some info has been released that is worthy of its own blog post.  Last night, ESPN showed Mike Tyson and FN Producer/Developer Brian “Brizzo” Hayes going at it on Fight Night Round 4.  Here is a small portion of that segment:

Hey:

Seeing how Twitter helps spread info in matter of minutes, we have started a Twitter account that will focus mainly on:

1) News Articles regarding Fight Night
2) Pictures from the game.
3) League/Community Events and News.
4) Links to posts from the Fight Night developers.

This is being run by Poeticdrunk and myself and we have contacted the FN Staff to talk about it.

This was posted today on the Fight Night official site:


"Hey Fight Night Fans!
Okay, look, maybe we underestimated your appetite for details about Fight Night Round 4. Maybe we overestimated your desire to read anything about what the team thinks about Ali, Tyson or the sport of boxing in general. (Brizzo is still going to post more Fight Game commentaries though, he doesn't care!) Evidently, some of you are very anxious to hear some details about the game. In an ... Read More

This comes directly from the OperationSports.com forum where user DaveDQ posted information from Game Informer’s latest issue previewing Fight Night Round 4:


“In this month's GI they have a nice write up describing a few things in Fight Night Round 4. The bulk of the preview talks about the new physics system the game will display, making the inside boxing game more realistic. Punches won't always land perfectly.
One thing I was happy to read was that the parry

"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

Hey:

This just in from Mike Mahar, producer of Fight Night Round 4. Here is a reply he did to a fan by the name of Mumra which was asking for "no parries" in the next installment of the series:

" We hear you guys loud and clear... we’ve been reading the forums for some time and we gather the parry system was not a favourite . I can't reveal our core game play mechanics yet (we appreciate your patience) but I can refer back to the initial interview I did ...which should
