EA's new teaser trailer for Fight Night Round 4, starring the ultimate boxing match up between Muhammad Ali and "Iron" Mike Tyson.
Fight Night Round 4 swings its final punch, as online servers will be taken down next year according to a press release from EA.
Guess we won't see another Fight Night until next gen at the soonest. Did any notable boxing games come out this gen at all?
Fight night round 4 is still the best boxing game at the moment.
I still pop it in my old Xbox from time to time and nothing beats the feeling of a close fight in the late rounds.
I liked round 3 better myself, it gave you a lot more controll especially when it came to defense, which really allowed you to develop your own style and finesse to things.
I loved Round 3 but it was nearly impossible to win as a technical boxer.
The game heavily focused on the counterpunch Philly stance and Ko made winning a match by points nearly impossible.
Also, the losing boxer on a scorecard would get a boost of Stamina later on (lousy catch-up logic) was not something I was fond of.
I could also add the Headbutt that made cutting easy.
But I loved the corners mini-games or the dept of working on bruises and cuts.
The animation was also fantastic.
cut the UFC Servers too , some of those grapples look awkward when people would walk in and see 2 guys straddling each other, i tried soo hard to make it not look weird
Tbh the actual matches look awkward when passerbys walk in and see the straddling party. I constantly think get up and fight.
Round 4 was the best the franchise had to offer. You could find success playing to each fighters strengths and anytime somone wanted to spam a particular cheese i could always find a realistic boxing strategy to counter it. Champion started off pretty good but the game was very exploitable and became a cheese fest. The auto block severely hurt the game as well. If they ever make a new game i hope they look at how they achieved competitve balance in the gameplay of Round 4.

Improved 4K visuals, a new generation of boxers and improved multiplayer lobbies…man, that would be great. Until that day comes, Fight Night is going to remain outside of the periphery of the fighting game genre, as the ref slowly counts one of the finest franchises out of the ring.
Fight Night Champion was an abomination - but man, I'd love to see a new gen Fight Night game.
Ali by knockout.
It might be due to the blurriness but Fight Night Round 4 looks like made it more just little bit cartoony. Fight Night Round 3 was realistic. The trailer had a comical style of graphics.
If it looks anything like Fight Night Round 3 in it's finished state it might become one of the best looking games of 2009.
With this and UFC Undisputed 2009 coming next year I'm more than ready to rumble =)
The trailer was all CG. Give me a break EA.
you don't know what you are talking about, Tyson would not beat a prime Ali no way, Foreman was easily in the same league as Tyson, Foreman only lost to Ali and then retired only to come back and beat Moorer age 42? and look what Ali did to foreman, these guys fought for 15 rounds, Ali fought Norton with a broken jaw and 2 missing back teeth and still went 12 rounds, the rumble in the jungle went 14 rounds and Ali and Frazier were both exhausted with Frazier not being able to come out for round 15, did you ever see Tyson do that? no ofcourse not, and Lewis was always there ready but Tyson knew he could not beat a Lewis or a Ali, Buster Douglas burst his bubble, Ali would have confused the hell out of him.
Remember when saying Ali never fought a Tyson but beat Foreman/Frazier/Sonny Liston who were all better than Tyson.
