The title is packed with a deep menu of new modes and features, including: the all-new cinematic, narrative-driven Champion Mode; more than 50 licensed boxers including Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao; Full Spectrum Punch Control; the deepest career mode yet, Online Gyms and much more.

This is bush league on EA's part. I have the PS3 version of Fight Night Champion, and guess what, if you create a boxer to take through Legacy mode, it crashes. That's right, the game is broken, so instead of trying to fix what they broke they are offering an "a la carte" version? Poor choice on your part EA, your game is broke for offline players and you have done nothing to fix it.

Lol so $10 for legacy and boxer share is a rip off?

I just bought the 1st part for $4.99 and plan on buying the "fight now" also. I want to know if anyone has bought "Legacy" and had any problems before I spend the $10.00.

Do you have to buy the online portion to get the Tuner Update and the Patches? I didn't see any patch install when I downloaded it last night.

I bet its part of the download, but if not consider yourself lucky, the game was much better before the patches and looney tuners.

It's says to download latest tuner to push the triangle. Should I not download it since I'm not going to play online?
