EA, please make the knockdowns/knockouts better somehow. I just re-bought Fight Night 2004 because I missed those ragdoll KO's. They were a bit weird because they happened all the time and were somewhat excessive, but they were much better than the animations we have in FN4. Also, the knockdowns were brilliant in the demo, as many have already said, yet in the final game they rely much more on animations (and I HATE it). Why? Please fix this.

Agreed. Bump.

agreed. I think for the most part the knockdowns are good however they do rely on animation a bit tooooo much. We want 2004 knockouts.

Thats was the Best Knock outs

I wish there were knockdowns where the boxer goes limp ala Hatton, or RJJ. Or standing TKOs where you get them in the ropes and their guard loosens.

The knockouts are part of why boxing is exciting. Making them look bad-* is a must! i reckon it'd be easy to keep some animations for the flash knockdowns and then just go straight into ragdoll mode following a brutal concussion, just like in real life. Patch/update or something please!

The knockdowns are pretty terrible. I wonder why that is? anyone that ever watched boxing would realize they look unrealistic.They need a pro boxer to over see things when they developed round 5, just to keep things accurate and authentic

Would it be that hard to alter the knockdowns? Make the hardest punches, the concussive ones, put the opponent into ragdoll.
Isn't it just as simple as removing the animation? There could be a slider called "ragdoll level" or something.

Id also like to see ragdoll knockouts, they should use FN 2004's system but tweak it a little.

I doubt it can be implemtented into this game though, but if it does actualy happen I will cream my pants

Yeah.
The knockdown animations are now old and I hate watching the guys fall down the same way all the time.
I would play this game for many many hours as opposed to just 1 hour if the knockdowns were made to be awesome. I don't know if I should say that I would even pay for such an update...

they always seem to stumble back onto the ropes with me and is getting soo repetative
