Fight Night Champion: Build a Champion or Create Your Legacy with New Trailer

[Jukeman]

Lets be honest, how many "casual" gamers have you seen actually sat thru a cut scene?

Prize Fighter didnt sell well and im not sure how well the Rocky games sold but I highly doubt a story mode will = more sells...

Im sure the mode will something nice to play thru once but I am with the crowd that says master on mode then add, dont stack on mediorce...Good example is NBA 2K, great game but My Player and Association needs major attention...

Because it would be extremely out of place if the whole story was set in "the hood", you have a black momma, black brother, and then you have some user created white as paper nerd looking boxer. It would throw the whole immersion out the window. So instead EA made the tough decision to bring in real actors (You guys will know some of them). Also had a Hollywood writer, write the story. So to keep it all together they just created all the characters. Guys I am not joking, the parts we got to play were soooo damn cool. I was so pumped to see this included in the game. We have never had the pleasure of having a "GTA IV" style story in a sports game. I wanted to play the entire story while I was there. The best part is, it does not take away from the game in any way. It is just a extra addition. Another words everyone will still play their legacy and online, but they can also play through this single player story mode. They wanted to try something completely new. All I know is it had me very excited!!!

Look I understand all of that. but using a mixed family opens up the possibility of a white or black guy and after what EA did with def jam fight for NY. I can't see why they can't do the same here.

Wow, it's rated M.

Man they are taking the wrong direction here IMO. I don't want a movie in a sports game, I want to realistic gameplay, smart AI, and a decent career mode.

What about this trailer led you to believe it doesn't have both?

Im sure like others he mean he'd rather have big upgrades to legacy rather then this mode, legacy is basically the same except some new bells and whistles....

After seeing these trailers, I wish they would have merged the two modes together.. Now that would have been sweet....

Oh well, I'm still getting it.. Hopefully next version will be more like Boxers Road with dieting and such...

Totally pumped for this title.

It will be the best boxing game we have ever had. The Story mode is a bonus and it looks great. All the fuss is just crazy.

I don't think any games will ever meet the expectations of some people.....ever.

Hopefully Legacy mode is improved as the Dev's say. But more importantly the gameplay physics and new TPC system is tight and responsive. That more than anything is the key for me. Does the game give us a great sim of the sport of boxing. FN4 was he best I had ever played so if this improves upon it I will be in heaven.
