Fight Night Round 4 Producers Answer Community Questions

[SHAKYR]

The official Fight Night Round 4 website has posted a Q&A session with their community.

Quote:

Community: "Is the Legacy Mode the same as career mode? Is Legacy Mode another name for Career Mode or is it a deeper experience? How in depth will the legacy mode be? In the past the career mode was kind of garbage." FNR4 Team: "Yes, Legacy Mode is the name for Career Mode. Everybody on the team is aware of the shortcomings in FNR3's career mode. Mike Mahar and Raymond Lo are working hard to ensure Legacy Mode is a deeper and more authentic experience. It includes new training games, divisional rankings, multiple titles in each division and several other features that you will hear more about in the weeks and months to come."

That is spectacular news.

And I love how the ring entrances will be more realistic.

Now was Brian being sarcastic towards the community requests or what Kudo brought before?

I hope I am not nickpicking here but 'biggest roster for any Fight Night game to date'....hmmmmmm FN never had a huge roster. I think Knock Kings has 38 at first and increased that in KK 2000.

So is this the largest roster of any EA boxing game?

Is it me or did he dance around that sim or arcade question?..I mean we have heard the "we are trying to create the most authentic experience" line for all their games...Is it Sim or Arcade?..Point blank

Thats all subjective though. Pure Sim, you have to use a text based type application that is all relative to percentages and statistics. I am sure this game will be cloer to KO kings than Ready to Rumble.

To be honest, I want a game to feel as real as possible, but I also understand that its a video game. So if I get dynamic rankings, a decent amount of fights going the distance instead of everything ending by a KO, an AI that fights differently and attaxcks my weaknesses, and killer presentation and career mode, I'll be happy.

Bottom line, this game has to appeal to the masses or it won't sell, so it has to be a fun online experience. What I mean, is Sim would be John Ruiz hugging you for 45 minutes, that won't fly, see what I'm saying?

I really think they are focusing on delivering a great simulation game. Most of the early info has been focused on that fact. Did any read the Game Informer preview?

Yeah man that GI preview was INCREDIBLE. Some things that stood out to me: Not every punch will land, not every block will be successful.
The game is faster than any Fight Night before it. Allowing more fluid combos and faster movement.

You can finally move and duck at the same time!

They are going to give us the career mode we've been waiting for!

This game is my most anticipated game for the year without a doubt!

The wait is pure torture for me right now.
