Gametrailers: The top contenders took the field again in 2011, but which can boast the title of best? Find out in the GameTrailers Game of the Year Award for Best Sports Game!
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.
...I don't know. I have it, I play it almost daily, and I'm a big football fan...
... BUT...
... it's too frustrating at times when playing the (cheating) CPU, plus the AI of you teammates can be infuriating at times. That, coupled with a collission-engine that still clearly needs work, means that for me, it's more still a work in progress, rather than the perfect football game.
Plus, replays could be better, faces should be better, there's STILL no proper player-editor, and the amount of screens and menu's you have to click through before getting where you want to be, which is on the pitch, is just too much.
It's a good game, but many of the criticisms you can throw at it, have been there for years now, and thus should already have been fixed.
