EA needs to take a page or two from other games. The Legacy Mode got boring and stale very quick. There was not much to get excited about with this mode. EA needs to realize depth to a game will not make less fun.

There are so many games out there with incredible ideas that EA Fight Night producers can look at to get ideas. The Smackdown vs. Raw has a very good career mode. There are cards you can appear on. You actually have other wrestlers approach you for a match.

Smackdown has a Pay-Per-View Card feature that would work good with the Fight Night series. The hype for this would be incredible within your Legacy/Career mode.

Training and Fight more should definitely be allowed. If you knock someone out quickly without getting hurt you should be able to fight again as soon as possible.

You should be able to be challenged by boxers from all over the world. If you fight in a different country it should have that presentation and feel like you are in another country.

Rules should apply for what state, country or belt you are a defending. If my boxer fights in Nevada, the rules of Nevada should apply. We also should be able to use past rules.

Fight Night needs more details to fights that happened or will happen. People love details, news articles, magazines covers, etc; Legacy mode had some good ideas, but they were not deep enough.

Joining a gym and finding a manager and trainer. You should be able to join a gym and later own a gym that you can add equipment to. Managers and trainers should have tendencies that you can edit before for you start a career and add them to a pool to chose from, other fighter may randomly chose managers and trainers with likeness/tendencies to real life trainers and managers(you created)

Manager Mode
should let players take control of their own stable of boxers. You should be able to take your boxers all the way to the top and win world championship belts of all three Organizations. You start out with a small team of talented boxers or boxers that may have potential. You will have to hire trainers who will train your boxers, sign on new up-and-comers from a pool of boxers. You should be able to set up bouts and determine tactics and techniques before and during the events. You should have boxers wanting to be part of your stable if you are successful in getting good fights and getting titles fights for your boxers.
A managers should always pay attention to his finances: does he have the money to take on better a staff in order to improve training? Can he promote his boxing events with TV ads, drawing crowds and earning big bucks, or will he have to make do with a small note in the local papers?

****Contract negotiations with boxers from around the world
Search for and train upcoming talents
Management of finances and staff

This definitely will bring longevity to the game.

There's so many possibles for a deep career mode, but EA has to really dig deep.
