Dude im on the same boat as you although i only boxed for a year. I've been dying for a boxing sim since at least 92. In america EA has come the closest. give me fn round 3 take away the haymakers and parry's, add speed, tons of boxer attributes, remove the life bar and have knockouts based on skeletal impacts with real physics. and give us a robust career mode with multiple belts and vuala!! The boxing game everyones been dying for.

maybe prizefighters gameplay may be tight but a rental is all its gonna get from me. no career mode no purchase.

Fight Night Round 3 needed a deeper career mode,more weight classes etc(the things you mentioned);, but it sure was visually beautiful....wasn't it. I think the speed was ok. Just not every boxer throw punches with the same speed.

The one thing that FNR3 lacked more then anything was AI......EA Sports consistently drops the ball in that department in all there sports titles.....FNR3 AI was by far the worst I have ever seen.Every fight ends in a knockout,on the hardest level the AI doesn't throw punches at all,every fighter boxes a defensive match every single fight....If your going to give me a robust boxing game with all the bells and whistles,first thing's first,get the gameplay in the ring smooth and fluid and make the AI fight similar to there real life counterpart.....I shouldn't be knocking guys like Duran and Leonard out by the fourth round.....

A career mode sounds so simple but no one seems to be willing to take it on properly. It sounds so simple to have rankings and make folks move up and down them.

Its a sad day when a handheld has these features and the top next gen systems cant do it.

Its incredibly sad. Its also sad that VB2 had the career mode perfect 6 years ago for the PS2. They had every division with hundreds if not thousands of boxers in each division. I don't know what it is, but alot of the games on the 360 & PS3 are lacking the depth of games on the PS2 and handhelds. Its a shame, but even Madden on the DS plays a better football game than on the 360.

I just don't get it, certainly 2k sports would have been reading all the complaints about fight night's career mode, lack of rankings, etc and then they turn around and come out with a fancy version of Punch Out. Sad indeed.
