Please integrate HBO presentation with commentary and include Lampley, Steward, Merchant and Kellerman. Lederman too, for that matter. They attempted some of the HBO presentation with Fight Night Champion, but they need to take it to the next level. Also, use ESPN integration as well. I would also like the career mode to start in the Golden Gloves Tournament, maybe even an Olympic Boxing Mode as well.

They would have to go with one or the other. Concentrate on one and work hard on hitting all the right areas. Boxing offers so much in the area of commentary and presentation that EA could take advantage of.

Ahh, so another FN is in the works. That is good, I can do for another one with some tv style presentation added to the legacy mode.

Presentation doesn't bother me (commentary gets stale) but I just want to 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'

dropped this on 'em...

real time damage,other than facial i.e. hands, ribs,kidneys,standing 8 counts,etc...also i would revamp the up mini game...alot of my peeps quit playing the series, because it was too hard to get up...make this like the KKings series, where there's a automatic get up option depending on condition of fighter. thanks for listening.

First, I think FNC was a very good game. Too much messing with the tuners and patches made the game worse. I think Champion mode was revolutionary in a way, but I wouldn't go back to it a second time. I would focus more on the career mode, make it as deep as any FIFA or NCAA dynasty/career mode. Also, developing more online options with more realistic online play.

I would consider a combination of the Champion Mode and the career mode to make it a story mode about you.

Inside the ropes, being able to hold has to be done more smoothly, and add punching in the clinch. Most importantly, the developers need to strive to make the fights as unpredictable as possible. One thing that plagued the game, especially after patches, was that all fights seemed to go the same way. Need varied kind of fights to give the game that so important replayability.

- More realistic and fluid footwork, movement and non-engaged mannerisms

- More realistic in-ring audio....the hiss of the gloves....and/or the "HA!" of Khan and Ortiz when they throw punches

- A Super 6 style tournament option during legacy mode

- Jim Lampley ringside....nobody else should even be considered. And you're EA...you have the money for Lampley and arguably the entire hbo broadcast team. Use the new commentary engines for fluid and constant discussion.

- Actual fight cards where other fights besides that of your fighter's can be watched.

Good to see there's going to be another release. This game wasn't that far off.

I agree and the producers told me it wasn't a fan favorite. Fans want to fight and not waste time between rounds being a cutman.
I definitely hated being the cutman, but I'd like to see my cutman working along with better, accurate advice from my trainer, if I'm bothering to watch between rounds. This is where they need to go all out on presentation. The corners, replays & announcers should be much closer to a live broadcast.

Forgot to mention Kinect compatibility.

After playing Tiger Woods with Kinect, I am convinced boxing would be a perfect fit. It would be a good workout if it works properly. I wouldn't invest too much into it since it's a feature that would be Xbox only, and it's unlikely that I would use Kienct more than the controller even if it's done right, but it could be revolutionary if implemented correctly.

Are they even makin' another game? haven't heard a thing.
 
# 32 DaveDQ @ 05/03/12 01:03 AM
I disagree completely that this game should have Kinect capabilities. Who is going to slug it out for 10-12 rounds on Kinect? It's just not realistic.

I still play the game and can say for certain that it needs an overhaul. Too much is ignored. Footwork is muddy and slow. The game has a 2D feel to it where the footwork is so limited that you just don't have the sense of moving around the ring.

Stamina is broken. They have to go deeper with stamina and make a guy pay for punches thrown...hit or miss.

Why does everyone say the punching in UFC3 is great -- that ish is horrible! The only thing wrong with the punching in FNC are the forced misses and the stamina for punches thrown. Well, we can toss the button delay in there as well but from a graphical standpoint I think they are fine. UFC's punches look so unnatural and robotic.

I also play from time to time. Have you tried to play with the BROADCAST camera? I feel it allows you to move a little better and has less moments where you and your opponent are just pulled into each other.

Yes, broadcast definitely gives a better feel for footwork. It's actually a great presentation piece. I think the footwork needs some more layers. The movement can be ok but there needs to be an instance of being able to quickly move, not just slide left/right or up and down.

You might finally have realistic stamina? That's been a problem plauging the series for a while now.

And we need better gameplay with authentic styles and fighters who actually fight according to their ratings. And every punch should not land flush. And please bring Mayweather back!
Actually EA MMA did this better than UFC and fight night, but ruined it with the parry system and the glitch where you could continue combo's despite being parried if you used the button controls. But as far as timing meaning everything, No game has gotten it better than EA MMA.

Who ventures on EA's forum to know if they're making a new game?

That might be the only way they can fix stamina. Their "sim" mode will be to use Kinect.

I wouldn't visit those forums if you paid me.
