Don King Presents: Prizefighter Interview

[Steve_OS]

With the help of our readers and 2K Sports, we had an opportunity to interview Denby Grace, Producer for Don King Presents: Prizefighter.

Quote:

Operation Sports: "Are there stoppages for cuts or other injuries? How does that affect the match? After each round, when the boxers head to their respective corners, what are we able to do at that time?" Denby Grace: "Are there stoppages for cuts or other injuries? How does that affect the match?

Mixed bag of answers. Guess the proof will bein the pudding.

Thanks Steve.

So there are no refereee stoppages for cuts or injuries. Its easy enough to read between the lines there.

Only 4 attributes?

I have this game preordered, but this does not seem promising at all.

Positive

Dexterity and Agility - I like the idea of having separate items for feet and hands.

Negative

Limited Training - Has anyone every heard of Sparring?

I actually don't like sparring. You have amature bouts, and other training, I like to save the boxing for the real deal - not sure if I'm of minority opinion here though.

I like having different items too also....the more the better, it would make for a wide range of boxing opponents and created guys.

To me sparring could be the single most important feature in this game. Remember NBA Street 3 where you got a nickname based on how you played? What if sparring generated strengths based on how you performed. Block a lot, defense goes up. land a lot accruaracy goes up. jab often, jab strength goes up.

I can't understand this game having no stoppages. I was thinking about it and the Sim factor has to drop by at least 2 because of it.

If I had to review this game, it already would be docked a few points for no open career mode and no Ref SToppages. It would be like Madden taking out Franchise Mode & injuries. Oh wait, I get it thats All Pro Football by 2k Sports.........Thats how they roll.
