Eurogamer has posted their Don King Presents: Prizefighter preview.

Quote:


	"The career mode in the game is, according to 2K Sports, its pivotal feature. It's certainly the game's most interesting and novel aspect. Beginning with a flash-forward to the start of a fight near the end of your career, it takes the format of a sports documentary - with a series of talking heads discussing the career ascent of your character, The Kid, through the ranks of the greats in the 70s."

Will we be able to compile a record of 30-14-2 in this story mode? I just wish it would be like an open career where you could just have an average career if you are not on your game and never even fight for the title if you don't have the skills. VB2 had the career mode perfect, totally open with hundreds of boxers in each division. On top of that they had a seperate linear story mode included in the game. That was on the PS2 6 years ago.

No offense guys but some of you need to let go of that Victorious Boxers ****. Yes, it had a good career mode but its not fair to compare VB to PF when its PF's first release. I think some of us expected too much when we heard this game was going to be released. Now that its been confirmed that the game isnt "one and done" I'm OK with it. All they need now is to allow me to create a large number of CABs and I'm happy.

Also, while I like VB's career mode, I found the actuall game play to be too fast and unrealistic.

Well to be fair, we put up a huge wishlist on every forum we could and a major complaint with fight night was the career mode with no rankings, etc. We also referenced VB career mode with the rankings system, training, multiple belts, etc. I thought it would be a slam dunk that we would have gotten a career mode. So now I have to do what I can to bring it to their attention that we would like a career mode and thats the best example I can give them.

I agree with you though that the boxing in there leaves much to be desired. Everything would literally end in KO, sometimes in the first 2 rounds.

I hear what you are saying but just because there is a wishlist doesnt mean that they had the time or resources to put everything that you wanted into this game. Also, the only thing we have been able to confirm is that there isnt multiple belts. The game has training and it very well could have a rankings system. The "one and done" statement looks like a misstatement so it appears there is a career mode.

I hope your right.
