I really love fight night round 4, but I think round 5 can be made even much better. A few ideas:

1) Please add some more realizm to the fight, i.e. have Michael Buffer (complete with "Ready to rumble).."or Jimmy Lennon Jr. anouncing, (but if they demand too much $$ for use of their likeness,) then I guess a fictional announcer will work. Have him mention names of (fictional) judges, timekeeper, etc. Have him do so in a more prominant voice (its hard to hear over the cheers)

2) Have boxers actually walk into the ring and climb through the ropes. have boxers touch up gloves before 1st and last round.

3) Have real referees, such as: Mills Lane, Arthur Mercante Jr., Brian Gerry, etc. This would add an unbelievable amount of realism to the fight. Have ref Instructions a bit longer. Make the boxers stare down a bit more real & intense. After the fight, (if going to the scorecards) dont have the losing boxer look down as if he is certain he lost. Have the ref holding their hands and make it more realistic overall. Have an in the ring post fight interview.

4) One time I pressed pause and noticed there was option to throw in the towel. I tried it out and was dissapointed to see nothing really happened other than the fight just ending. Show the corner actually waving & throwing in the towel.

5)Have boxers sustain more injuries. You hear Teddy atlas say "his nose is bleeding"...but I haven't yet seen blood coming from the nose! more damages please.

6) its probably not possible to do, but to have real belts (ie, WBO, IBF) instead of the fake ones would be great!.

7)Add standing 8 counts.

add HWs like Evander Holyfield, Joe Louis, Maricano, Sonny Liston, larry holmes, Floyd Patterson,Dempsey, klitschkos, etc etc. I cant understand why they were not included in the first place???

9)on the C.A.B mode, why do all the face options looks so very much alike???? I tried making a larry holmes or Sam Peter with big head/fat looking face but found nothing even close.

10) Maybe show boxers walking back to their corner after each round.

11) Add more venues, such as M SG, The Mirage, Germany, etc etc

12) Maybe show the KO/KD as replay during the corner break. would add more realism.

13) An Ability to punch in the clinch. show ref trying to separate them.

14) allow to change weight up/down slightly for HWs.

15) Improve sound affects for the punches...they dont sound as real as they could.

I look forward to "Round 5"

Some of those things on the list were in FN4, such as touching gloves and walking back to the corner etc.

I like your idea of replay during breaks - it would be cool if there was a highlight reel at the end of fight, with quick flashes of each round like on HBO!

You could then choose to add this to a 'greatest hits' compliation!

But all these are little bonuses - i ust hope they fix online to prevent as many exploits as possible.

Peace out!

I dont have Round 3. Only R4. I'll try pick one up and check it out. Does anyone have an idea when the new one will come out? I heard 2011.

One thing I like about the R4 game is that its easy to play. Some of the suggestions here are great, but may make it far too complicated (like the guy that listed 9,000 differant hair styles,etc.) IMO we dont need it quite that complex.....just some added realism & some cool new options & improvements. And PLEASE include the great Champ EVANDER HOLYFIELD! They can lose that loser contender Eddie Chambers...we wont miss him!

An added thought: I'd like to be able (early in the fight) to knock out an opponant with one punch and have him stay down. why does the opponant seem able to always get to his feet alot easier than my guy??????? I can only raise 2 or 3 times after KD, but he can get on his feet up to five times no problem, (like he's getting up from a good night's sleep). This needs improvement as well.

i agree with others that judges scorecards need some work too. its way too easy to win each round on unanimous decission. To loose a round now you almost have just stand there & do nothing but get hit. would make it more realistic, to make judges less predictable.

March 1st 2011 in the US, March 4th in Europe.

You should get disqualified for over clinching like in FN3.

There are 1 punch ko.ending punches in FNC!!

You may be right, (but if I remember correctly) i have never thrown a single punch that caused a KD where the guy stayed down for KO (I am talking about the FIRST KD of the fight) I have done it on later KDs where i threw single punch and he stayed down.

On the other side of the coin, my fighter has ALWAYS been able to get up at least once after the first KD. Glad he was, but a bit unrealistic!?

oh, BTW thanks for the info on the release date!!!!!

yep, I agree with you. its annoying when the other guy's hurt, keeps tying up with repeated warnings from the ref, but he never takes offf a point or DQs him!!! my guy gives him a hb or low blow for tying up, and gets DQ'd!

1. Let the Referee break up the clinches.
2. Sounds hard but, it would be cool if they made this new game capable with Kinect.
3. You should be able to use the lean modifier while moving forward or backwards.
4. Should be able to parry your way through blocks, similar to what the KlitchKO's brothers do with jabs.
5. Combo Stuns should be added, a 4 punch minimum combo should be able to stun any boxer in my opinion, (Jab, Straight, Left Hook, Right Upper Cut). It seems like counter punching is the only way to get people stunned and KOed.

The controls need to a choice for "player relative" movement. When I move the controller to the left, I want my boxer to move to his left...not to the left side of the screen. Same thing with all directional movement...the boxer should move the way the stick moves...not move to the place on the screen the stick is pointed

MLFBalls wrote:Agree totally with the last post. Without boxer relative movement (up on the stick to move forward, down on the stick to go back) the game feels massively unintuitive to people who are used to this.

How true...we need player relative movement

1. Remove Clipping / Improve the Physics engine - this is when the glove goes through part of the face or body parts. The glove should touch the face, not go through part of the face. Looks unfinished.

2. Remove distorted limbs - too many times I would see some strange entanglements of the limbs in the replays. Shoulders look like they pop out of the joints and arms bend in weird positions. They should fix this so that it looks normal.

3. Fix Photo Gameface - Remove white faces from Black fighters problem as well as the dark faces from white fighters.

4. Show Cutman actually doing something- don't just show me the fighter all busted up and just sitting there bleeding to death. I want to see the cutman address that cut like in a real fight.

5. More Venues - Continue to keep the current venues, but I want to see more added in the next fight night like Staples Center, Caesar's palace, Wembley Stadium (England) , M.E.N. Arena ( Manchester) , World Hamburg Arena (Germany) and maybe some smaller venues too such as the casinos you see on Friday Night Fights. Found this link that shows some venues. Maybe this will help. http://www.ringsidebygus.com/boxing-venues.html

6. Add more detail to boxing trunks- Some of the trunks for the current boxers in the game look really good and authentic, but some look generic and unpersonal. Please try to make the trunks look as authentic as possible to the real fighter. Here is a pictoral example of what I mean. Notice how Roberto Duran's trunks have his first and last name near the bottom. Also the black trunks have a flag on them. Notice the way Hagler's name looks on the trunks. It has a white patch with the name on it in blue. He also has his initials. They don't look like this in the game. Make it look like that.

Brink back swelling, TKO's, etc. Have accidental headbutts, etc. Make the Legacy mode much more robust. No chhezy Prizefighter story mode tutorial, focus on core gameplay.

put an end 2 the spamming

NO BUTTONS!!!!!
