Need a new Fight Night, hell an updated Fight Night Champion would be enough for me. I couldn't care less about EA UFC.

Neither of these sports rivals something like the NFL (150MM fans in U.S.), NBA, etc. IIRC correctly boxing has something like 17-20MM fans in the U.S. Of course it's much more popular worldwide. The key difference between MMA and boxing when it comes to video games is that the MMA audience skews a bit younger, which puts it closer to core gaming demos. Here are some links if you'd like to look through some recent research on the combat sports audience. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/10/4...-combat-sports http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/J...s/Up-Next.aspx http://mmapayout.com/2013/05/survey-...oxing-and-ufc/ I don't mean to suggest a boxing game can't exist or can't be successful, but there are some reasons why we've arrived where we have.

I have been saying since day one that companies like EA need to give us what makes games like MLB: The Show, NBA 2K, FIFA, and Madden successful. They can tell us they failed after they gave the fans nearly everything they wanted. I never blame the sports for sales because I have picked up games because of it's depth and realism to the sport. I have done numerous polls and surveys over the years and it seems fans feel the overall game isn't accurate or deep enough for them. Many fans have flat out stop buying the Fight Night series.
It's about a great game not the tone of something. NBA 2k sells from word of mouth, actually quite a few game have sold this way. NBA Live has a cult following and they are struggling to get fans back. The reason is NBA Live isn't deep enough or real/sim enough to appeal the sports gamer taste.

For anyone looking to enjoy the hype before the Mayweather-Pacquiao clash, should play Fight Night Champion on Xbox 360. One of the features "Boxer Share" allows you to download created boxers made by other people. Many of these boxers suck, but every now and them you'll find a GEM that looks like the fighter was made by EA themselves. This is done by a photo scan feature that i personally have no clue how it works. But you can find a completely realistic Mayweather, and if playing an Unranked match online, you can fight the fight before the fight!!! Go Pacman!

Hopeful this is true, but I can't find confirmation anywhere else.

After not playing fight night online for maybe close to a year, i hoped on and ran some matches last night. The results were hilarious. My record is 63-36 40 wins by ko. The first guy i fought, was decent, but kept missing his punches because he wouldn't set them up, and i landed easy. He started throwing headbutts, and then he quit after round 2. Second guy, quits as soon as the match starts. Third guy, picks andre bishop at middleweight, i pick roy jones. He literally throws nothing but straights and right hooks, power ones too. I counter him and easily knock him down, he doesn't even get up from the first knockdown. I couldn't stop laughing, what the hell was that? Just waiting until i run into an annoying spammer at this point. . .
