none of this will happen... not cause they can't... but because what i like to call being real vs being fun
name any sports game... it does not have the pacing or timing or end stats like the real game...
imagine this game with a mayweather like fight... 400-500 punches the whole fight
or a match where the ref gotta break up a clinch at least 4-5 times a round
or landing 50-60 percent of your punches and they all come in 4-5 spurts then you run around for a little
yea it'd be real as fukk.. and true boxing fans would love it... but the public wouldn't love it anymore than they'd love avg 3.4 yards a carry on madden or shooting 40% on 2k.. and fight night already had a hard enough time getting the public to demand another one
some of the stuff you are saying has nothing to do with what i said though lol. I think the things i mentioned can be pulled off without HAVING to have realistic punch stats. What people fail to realize is that the stats will only look realistic if the users fight that way. Im all about control and gameplay....before anything else. Imo Fight night 2004 had the base of everything i said they were just missing key elements and that game was very successful from what i can remember. The game would still be fun with the things i said....imo.
Im not one of those guys trying to chase "stats looking like real life stats" for the sake of looks.....i want a game to control great and have realistic STRATEGY. People will never be happy if they are chasing every match to look like the real life match down to the stats and percentages...thats a battle you can never win unless everybody plays exactly like that instead of just playing to win the match. Real strategy is fun to me you dont have to OD on everything. I honestly would take a upgraded fight night 2004 graphically with these following upgrades.
Moving while blocking like i explained.
stamina depleting with excessive bobbing and weaving.
the knockout dummy animations toned down.
More fighters.
.......then with every installment after that just make tweaks and make the career mode deeper and deeper every release.
