There has been a lot of hype surrounding Fight Night Round 4 lately. Noah Weber has put together an interesting article called Fight Night Round 4: The Perfect Career Mode where he gives EA advice on how to create, you guessed it, the perfect career mode.

Quote:


	"Another really important feature that’s been missing from EA’s boxing games is rankings. There is no excuse for not having a dynamic rankings system. By focusing on this, EA could open up the entire career mode experience immensely. Instead of offering us a few choices at a time, the game could allow us to schedule our own fights based on the rankings system."

We should be able to fight real boxers in career mode like they had in Round 1. Rounds 2 & 3 you had to fight some made up boxer. It makes career mode that much more realistic.

Very nice. I agree 100%. It should be easy enough to do, they need to look no further than VB2's boxers road career mode. Literally hire those guys to design the career and work on the in ring stuff at EA studios. I just hope they get this right. A great boxing game would be a wondrful thing.

Its a good article. Shouldn't be impossible to do for the simple fact that everything mentioned was done last generation, with Hajime no Ippo 2: Victorious road. That game had a career mode that was probably a little to deep, lol!

Really great article bro. Is there anyway you can send it to EA?

Someone needs to make the producers of Fight Night aware of our insane desire to play an awesome boxing career mode. Please let me unify the belts!! I want to become the undisputed champion. NCAA football has legacy, Madden has Dynasty mode. Why can't we have a great career mode?? its been only what 15 years since an american boxing game had a good career mode.

Great article. It was a very good read. I hope they have different ranks like world rankings,belts rankings etc;.

the diet and training plan sounds cool. hopefully it wouldn't take to long to train. I think it'd be cool if they're was certain tasks to accomplish to get bonus attribute points during the fight. IE: like where your coach gives you a plan that says take out the body so your opponent leaves his head open some. and if that task is accomplished to an extent you get like +1 or 2 in a certain category.
