The Ultimate Boxing game would be a mixture of these 3 games...

The ultimate boxing game would be part Fight Night,part Title Bout Championship Boxing,part Smackdown vs. Raw. Fight Night has been making strides to be a great game,but after the graphics and some decent gameplay many of us are left dry looking for more. The career mode has lost it's interest. It's not realistic and doesn't have replay value. Now, if Fight Night had a deep presentation like Title Bout Championship boxing it would really grab our attention and make us want to do more or spend extra time with the game. I know Title Bout Championship Boxing is a text-based game but, it has a large fan base(mid-20's and older) that EA should be trying to get too. Title Bout Championship Boxing. This is what Title Bout has to offer.

-Title Bout Championship Boxing features more than 6600 fighters, past and present, including all divisions and all champions, individually rated in over three dozen categories. We know EA can't add all these boxers,at least give us the options and slots to put them in the game. I think all the divisions should be in the game. What true boxing fan wouldn't want this? Again, we can feel them with missing boxers.

-Statistics that's right I said, stats!
Let's face it! Statistics are major in sports. Boxing isn't a team sport but, Title Bout provides almost every statistic possible and does so in a number of unique ways, and goes well beyond the expected "won/lost/knockouts" stats.
Fighter statistics are not only tracked fight-by-fight but also round-by-round. Want to know how many of a fighter's knockouts have been scored in the first round? No problem! Want to know if he's ever been stopped in the last round of a fight? We've got that covered, too. Connect percentages for/against; average rounds-per-fight/per-stoppage; it's all there!

Title Bout includes twenty-two specific Top Ten categories. Those categories, when modified by available parameters, result in over 1500 different lists. Getting a list of the ten fighters who average the most punches per round in ten or more fights takes only a few clicks of a button. Make it more specific by modifying the parameters to include a specific division, or a specific nationality, or for a specific year! And when you check out the new Rankings, don't be surprised to see a fighter ranked as the #1 contender by one organization be all the way down at #5 by another. Stuff like this would have boxing fanatics and ****** gamers hooked

Smackdown vs. Raw has a large fan base, some are not even wrestling fans. It's Create A Wrestler feature has people trying create the ultimate likeness of wrestlers;many of them look realistic game -wise. If Fight Night could add the many features that Smackdown vs. Raw has to it's Create A Wrestler they wouldn't have to worry about signing certain boxers.
*NBA 2K9 has a great feature that allows you to upload other people creations to your game this would be sweet.

If Fight Night or any game maker was to incorporate all these into thier boxing game. It would be a sure money maker.

Fight Night should use a Title Bout Championship Boxing type interface for some of it's screens.
