The camera and bad footwork do work together to make movement choppy & lifeless.

I remember not liking the swing cam for some reason. I just want a stationary camera. Seeing boxers move around the ring would help a lot.

Yea, the swing cam was a stationery camera man. You viewed the boxers entire body and the boxers moved in circles around the ring.

Another great comment/idea taken from the various threads we have going on here. That's really a good observation. You could even grant the one standing the opportunity to taunt while he stands there, or humbly go to the corner. That would be a great interaction too between the referee and the fighter. There's lots you could do with it.

Definitely a great idea. I'll add that to the tons of ideas in the great boxing game bucket list.

Great ideas.

I'm a boxing fanatic so I'll buy FNC regardless. But I would be a lot more excited if they added stuff like this instead of a campaign mode full of cut scenes.

I don't know about that. Brizzo seems to be a huge fan and student of the sport. It's easy to love boxing. It's a lot harder to make a great simulation of the sport.

Yeah, Brizzo knows his boxing. There are so many things that play into how this game is made. One thing I think they were smart to do was include the Champion mode. espcially on the heals of The Fighter being released. Boxing is in the atmosphere right now.
