Fight Night Round 4 Hopes and Concerns

[Village Idiot]

I was just posting a rant about how utterly lame the presentation in this series is, only to glance up and see you guys are already talking about it. Seriously pathetic, imo.

"From Detroit, The Hammer"

End of intro.

Boy, you're really blowing me away with that one, EA.

HT/WT/Record/# of KO's etc. - all missing. Inexcusable, and the main reason this series has never been more than a rental for me.

Was sugar ray and pbf's handspeed crap until they had 20+ wins??? did jake lamotta's chin continuously get better and better? was arturo's heart rating improving and so on and so on.

I've wanted this for a long, long time. Like you said, some abilities should be INHERENT and dominant right from the start.

Interesting point you make. Perhaps a true ameutuer background would allow a person to train/fight to earn abilities. Maybe give you a choice of 1-2 skills off top like +1 speed, or +1 chin etc. And then allow you to pick 3 more you actually train to earn. Then the remaining are earned during an ametuer career based on performance.

I second this. I've seen some fighter that are as dangerous 12 years from when they turned pro.
