what happened with EAs Fight night serie??

[Lord Piffington]

I can't remember word for word, or even where I read it. But they said it was in the works
Giving the time they usually drop a Fight Night game, earliest would be fall 2014, but for some reason Fight Night games usually drop at the beginning of a year.

Oh ok.. I thought you put me on ignore

 

[YaBoy]

Yea EA needs to bring back Fight Night, NBA Street, and NFL Street. nikkas couldn't see me in these games

That´s wrong breh.. That shyt was great.. especially in FN champ.. all the fighters had there own unique move sets.. mike tyson really fought like mike tyson and george foreman was the same ol mummy as in real life with those wide hooks..

My dude, I played that game from release day and STILL play it from time to time...It's the only console game I have played in the last 4 months other than GTA5...

Like I said its not a bad game from a gamer perspective so I can see how yall can call it great...but from a boxing head perspective it is far from great...

I can write a whole essay breaking down how shytty the footwork is, how awful the jab animation is, how overpowered the straight is, how hilariously ineffective body punching is (only effects scoring) and how atrocious the AI is...Not to mention my biggest issue with every time I try to make myself I got a white fukking facemask on...

Anyways I have complained endlessly about this shyt on the EA boards and operationsports...Believe me when I say I can write about this shyt forever...that's how much I love boxing and have been longing for a game that truly captures the action in the squared circle...FNC was not a boxing sim, it was rockem sockem robots super jabber edition with real boxers...I'm not saying you can't have a great fight, I'm sure I can hop online with one of the boxing brehs on here and have a great fight...but playing this shyt against the AI and randoms really exposed how broken and heavily flawed the game mechanics are...

Funny story, I remember before having a fight in this game against the AI on the hardest difficulty I listened motivational music like Gonna Fly Now and other Rocky songs

I worked too as I won by knockout

I was fukking obsessed with this game when it came out.. I played like 4 to 5 hours a day haha my girl was jelaous like a motherfukker

Anyone who thinks FNR3 and FNC were great clearly is not a boxing head...

They were enjoyable games but they weren't boxing sims which is what they were marketed as...The gameplay has always been heavily flawed and exploitable hence why they had so many issues with online multiplayer...

Anyways they abandoned fight night to hop on the MMA hype train and its quite ridiculous how there is no other boxing game alternative...EA made good money off of FN so you would think someone would have stepped in to fill the void...

You'd be a fool to think it was anything close to simulating real boxing but that doesn't take away from the excitement that came with the series.

They're dropping UFC instead of Fight Night

I agree wholeheartedly with this post from top to bottom. If you're a fan of the sweet science, this series (including Champion) can outright disgust you with its rendition of boxing.

• Awful canned knock down/knock out animations,
  
• Awful punching animations (you perform the same punches from the outside that you do from the inside),
• Upper body (punches) felt like it was moving at 60 FPS while the lower body (feet) felt like it was moving at 15 FPS.
• Awful stamina imbalances - one day they'd release a "tuner", which was nothing more than them tweaking in game sliders behind the scenes, where stamina wasn't a factor at all. Then after hearing complaints, a couple of days later, they'd release another one where if you throw a couple of combinations, your fighter had no juice left.
• Very little discrepancy in how each fighter feels.
• Absolute shyt A.I
• And last, but certainly not least, after asking for years for a referee, they put one in there and he has absolutely NO impact on fights.

Like you said, I can go on for quite a bit as to the atrocities that this series, in particular FN Champion, has committed against boxing, but I'll stop there. Every boxing game they release gets old pretty fast because of the lack of attention to the most basic of details....

As far as this thread is concerned, the initial plan was for EA to release one off this series with the FN developers. Have them make a MMA game one year, and then a boxing game the next. However, as with everything with EA, it's all about money, and even as a multibillion dollar gaming company, they've always complained about how much it costs to sign fighters individually, and with them acquiring the UFC licenses, I'm sure they're placing majority of their eggs in that basket because it's more cost friendly to them.

If they released another fight night wouldn't it be the exact same game, same fighters, same mechanics but with slightly better graphics....

 

[itsyoung!!]

shyt, I still play fight night champion. shyt was prolly the most realistic boxing game ever.

A lot of nikkas liked FN3 because they game mechanics let you get away with a lot of bullshyt. That parry/counter shyt was horrible and nikkas would want to throw 200 punches a round without getting tired. Game was still dope tho. Cats tried to play like that in the later versions and ending up getting knocked out after draining their stamina in the early rounds.

They definitely need to make a new one.

bruh fight night champion was good but weak compared to Fight night 4 and 3... 4 was the best in my opinion..

but champion was the LEAST realistic ever.. man I played online as tyson and someone was Ali and he knocked me out in 2 straight jabs

fight night 4 was the perfect mix of fight night 3 and champion.. you could still get gassed easy if you threw wild punches, but I liked the counter punching way better in round 4 than champion

I just read that Fight Night's team is now UFC's team and they're going with UFC since Boxing's popularity is dropping. I don't think Fight Night is coming back anytime soon

The bullshyt we had to put up with breh...

Yall remember that fakkit Kudo and the karate chop stun block aka "parry" that plagued this franchise till FNR4?

and that sad part is, as flawed as the FN franchise is, its by far one of the best boxing games ever made...

Ahh okay breh.. I thought you ment the game was crap.. and with that I cant agree on.. but everything else you wrote seems to be on point.. so here take this dap breh
