Some of us have never been in a fistfight, and after playing Fight Night Champion, we hope to keep it that way. EA Sports never shies away from showing the brutality of boxing, as the previous Fight Nights feature lots of blood and body damage, but this game takes the violence to a whole other level. We just plowed through the demo, and with each fight, someone was seriously messed up, to the point of not being able to see while blood gushed in tributaries down the poor sap’s face. In other words, we loved every bone-pulverizing minute.

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?
I honestly cannot state enough just how much i want a new fight night!!!
Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.
Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!
I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.
IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point
They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.
3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.
At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.
Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.
EA are making up from the past failures. Kudos to them.
day 1 for me i fecking love the demo
fight night 4 was great but this is a HUGE improvement. so much faster, more fluid, and more realistic. this is gonna be a great game, can't wait to knock ppl out online!
it was pretty kool, but i felt it lagged to much on the punches, to many times when i tried to block and my guy was still throwing his punchs
I tried the demo and I have wait and see the finished game because the demo looked washed out,the punches are geared to the right stick when you use buttons the right stick gets in the way when using buttons and you find yourself trying to use both at the same time.The buttons seem to lag behind the stick in speed when trying to throw punches.The CPU fighter seems to be on point all the time which don't leave you hardy any openings for attack without taking a punch and when you do get in your punches seems weak even with the modifier and the other fighter he just keeps on comin bloody face and closed eyes and all.where is the power and health meters?the stamima only meter don't give enough info of how much damage you causing to the other fighter during the round.Without being able to set your own settings in the demo really gives a poor showing of what this game could be,it seems that the demo is set to one of the hardest setings.The punches make a weird sound on contact like your barely striking the other fighter, its just sounds strange.Online the person I was fightning was just whaling away with the same punch and it didn't seem to slow his fighter or weakin him and between rounds he gained more juice then my fighter this goes against how ea said this game is supposed to work, waz up with that?I see a few patches coming for the version to fix some things but this nothing new its the sign of the times.Over all the demo is weak and don't compare to the FN4(easier controls,better meters,looked better,smoother,just better then this demo)Lets wait for the completed game when we should have better control "I hope".
