Fight Night Round 4 Hopes and Concerns

[EDD1E72I]

THE ONLY GAMES I DID NOT ENJOY FROM EA THAT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WAS THE FIRST AND SECOND NEXT GEN MADDEN FOR XBOX360. BUT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH FNR 3 AND ALTHOUGH I DID EXPECT MORE FROM IT, RATHER A DIFFERENT CARRER MODE I EXPECT NOTHING LESS FROM FNR4. I AM A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE CARRER MODE AND ALSO THE FULL LINEUP BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS GAME.

That's a great idea.

I agree.

Makes each new career you start sort of a mystery to see how good each of your fighters will be.

It would also go along way in differentiating your fighters instead of basically having the same fighter every time.

I would also like to see them do something about the boxers that aren't on the top tier.

I would like to see more authenticity in that they aren't bad simply because they have a 40 punching speed. Maybe they aren't well trained in the art of defense or something along those lines.

Also, I don't think a boxer really develops that much physically over the course of a career. You basically have your physical gifts when you start your career.(yes you can improve upon them, but you don't go from a 30 speed to a 90 speed) It's more perfecting techniques and strategies. That may be another angle to take.

what you described has been in boxing games of the past, more so in Mike Tyson's Punch out. Meaning a boxer with a weakness that you have to discover and time. Of course not so cartoony like PunchOut but it should be in all games and expanded on. Maybe you have to counter punch to win or mount a good offense and pressure your opponent.

As long as they have at least 30 plus fighters in there, I will be satisified. Because seeing the same 4 fighters in 3 different weight classes was so LAME.

Agree. Need to make the right cross (left for southpaws) an actual power punch. In FN4 certain fighters had decently powered crosses (Roy Jones, Lamotta), but it was very underrepresented. To pull this off the animations have to be right.

we need las vegas venues and micheal buffer as announcer. we need mayweather, calazaghe cotto etc and all your career ideas should defo happen. Also not botherd about entrances but should be a few people in ring at the start and at the end the ring should be swamped with people with trainers lifting thier fighters up thinking they have won. if it goes to scorecards it should show a split screen on each fighter like real life on HBO to show the decision. agreee??
