RATINGS
* Power-Determines how hard your overall punches are. This also effects the individual punch stats.
EX: If Power is 80 and Cross power is 100 then the Cross will do full damage.
*Hand Speed-Determines how fast your punches are.
*Foot Speed-Determines how fast your footwork is.
*Upper body Speed-Determines how fast you can move upperbody.
*Defense-Determines how good your defense is.
*Body-Determines how well you take it to the body.
*Chin-determine if the boxer gets up from a KD.
*Durability-determines how much damage you can take before you start to visit the canvas.
*Heart-determine if the boxer "gives up" like taking a knee and not getting up, or how hard they fight when they are clearly losing.
*Technique-Determines how compact or wide your punches are.
*Stamina-determines how long it takes before you get fatigue.
EXAMPLES
Power stat:
Lower than 50 - punches as hard as Cory Spinks
50 - average puncher
60-70 - decent power
80 - good pop in punches can KO with a well timed punch
90-95 - Power punchers like Pacquiao, V. Klitschko, Mayorga, etc.,
96-98 - Marciano, Foreman, Tua, etc.,
99-100 - "Fists of God" one hit its over, your breaking ribs, jaws, arms, everything.
It should be damn near impossible to get either 99 or 100.

[ohjtbehaaave]

What sucks in previous boxing games is how they play like a SF type fighting game with the stamina... where you chip away the fighters stamina until it's low enough for you to blow on them to knock them down. How about a Boxing game with one punch knockouts? or one where a sick combo that lands has your opponent trying to fend off the knockdown... and only a few more nicely timed shots has him kissing the canvas! Enough of the AI being retarded and having to drain the Health meter down all fight. A Health meter should drain QUICKLY or altogether on the perfectly timed punch combo if they are power shots. We want a spontaneous and UNPREDICTABLE boxing game... where just that one critical shot can be the difference in the fight and the reason for upsets ala Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson.

I'm pumped for this game.... as long as it's going to innovate in the GAMEPLAY Dept. All the career stuff sounds cool etc... but we won't care if the boxing doesn't play REAL!
I liked the first Rocky game kinda... but it better be a zillion times better engine for this one! And what's with Don "The FIX" King being involved with the game? Are we going to be able to fix fights and take dives? Do some Rhymes that make no sense?
Can't wait for Pete Rose Baseball and Micheal Vick Football!

[totalownership]

Online Kingpin mode. Where I don't have to do any fighting but I have the cash to sign guys in my stable and promote fights.

[Ldogg]

what the hell I been under a rock, I didn't know this game was coming out already.

and thats a loooong wish list wow

[IVODEM]

Yea I actually read it :o Alot of things repeated but great list anyway and one thing I want is a modified 2k Share...

[bboy5]

I want you to take ea's idea of styles and do it right for instance I think the parry system is overly abused if your fighter works off the jab that is what he should be able to do I mean I think speed also is under utilitzed in fn3 power equates for everything because you hardly have a fight go the distance instead throw haymakers or as many punches as you want when fighters just don't do that to often I have people quit online bec they find my fights boring but I'm like I'm here to win rounds first, also more clinches and inside work think of hopkins and how he works for some fighters. I wouldn't also mind some phantom punch knock outs for punches that are not seen bec it does happen ask roy jones when he fought tarver but not to often. also maybe rare cuts from headbuts but take a story mode where you are actually challenged by up and comers and a title defense mean something but make different fighters act and play different even though fight night tried the fights offline feel quite similar and once you know what to do its easy to beat the computer. Also maybe you can get some professional trainers.

[Ant from Gville]

What about facial movements for punches??? Like on FNR3 when your face crunches in and the glove smushes in on KO punches....

[gotiye]

I put this on another thread but I'll copy it here....................


add a diverse amount of training exercises not just 3 or 4 that force one or two attributes to grow at a time. training is a key part to any boxer's routine and if they're too limited they can kill the momentum of the career mode. victorious boxers 2 is a good example of where to look as far as options. it gives the player freedom to control how they work at their own risk. if they do too much and over train they pay for it in fatigue or minor injuries for example.........................
the career mode has to have depth outside of the ranking system. rivalries or build ups to big fights or perception of your fighter should be interactive in booking fights and how much you get paid. if you're a hometown fighter and have some hype you might get larger purses than if you travel for example. if there is going to be a promoter option allow the player to be in the role of a promoter like a franchise mode of sorts. allow the player to pay the fighters in their stable, set up fights, set up the venue, split the purse, recommend trainers or cutman to benefit fighters or give the player options to be crooked and try to fix fights.....................
have solid customization for created fighters. every factor in a fighter's physical build should be able to be tweaked such as reach, height, weight etc..................have physical characteristics have some weaknesses and advantages to balance out gameplay. that's been a huge problem in most boxing games. if a guy is tall they may have more difficulty learning to in-fight or if a guy is too muscular they may move slower or gas easier as the fight goes on; every fighter should have some limits that can be exploited outside of their boxing style...........................
one thing that's never been in a boxing game is the option to pick the size of a ring. ring size plays a huge role in certain fights. the bigger the ring the more likely a guy who counter punches and creates distance may have an advantage in strategy, the smaller ring might benefit an aggressive volume puncher since there is less room for mobility...................

WOW dude you actually thought hard about what you want LAWL.

make the gameplay relative to how the boxer trained for the fight. i think the first posts here said it all. make the motions of the fighters realitic. like when they bounce on their toes and such. . u know all the physical rythums and movements of a boxer. the punching shuld be mapped like the punch movement of the particular style of the boxer also. dont get caught up in the outside of the ring storyline please/ remeber that the gamer wants realism and action sim in the ring more than out of the ring. dont make this a role playing game. but a SIMULATION OF BOXING SKILL. add the vintage mike tyson style in the create a fighter mode. ALLOW US TO CREATE HOW THE BOXER STANDS, PUNCHES, SLIPS, BLOCKS ETC. GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY IS KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS GAME!!

[ohjtbehaaave]

I totally agree! If the gameplay sucks, nothing else will matter!

[chrono_j]

they should add a 4 player brawl mode online
that would be crazy fun, just punch the hell out of anyone free for all
a break from all the real fighting hahaha

[POETICDRINK2U]

^ You see this is the crazy stuff that messed up Fight Night! A 10 year old's dream just throwing Haymaker after hay maker with no purpose. We want a sim not a arcadey piece of garbage.

I think they should fix he haymaker.

The more legends i really hate, if u have legends please dont have them in my career mode, I dont want to fight Chris Byrd then Sonny liston

[Caine2878]

Haymaker is my biggest request fix it or just don't have it. Also more belts! Need to have at least four belts one for all the major sanctioning bodies. WBC, WBO, IBF, WBA. Also for career mode please have more actual fighters not 60 generic people. Also please unlike fight night don't make me fight someone I have already beaten five more times.

[illmatic32]

I know 2k is good at implememting new features and making a good game..But that wish list is a little too big..If 2k could have half of that I would be happy..But thats just ridiculous..lol...

[sampsonthestrong]

First and formost realistic gameplay to this day Knock Out Kings2001 is a better game then FN


Knockout Kings 2001 for the Playstation was a pretty decent game and it shows that EA is capable of making a good boxing game if they really wanted to. The problem is they know people will buy their product anyway so why spend the time and effort it takes to make something great when the EA fans will buy whatever they make.

[CzanMan]

Probably already mentioned, but:

-GAMEPLAY SLIDERS
-SPECTATOR MODE
-2K SHARE FOR EXCHANGING CAB's, SLIDERS, ETC.
-CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS FOR RING ENTRANCES!!
-USE OF THE CAMERA FOR CAB MAKING PURPOSES (like Boxers Road 2 for the PSP!)
-DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT (new arenas, boxers, gameplay patches, etc.)

Yeah, they have to have custom music for the ring entrances in this game! It's a must! Can you imagine your favorite fighter entering the ring as you favorite joint is boomin in the background? DAMMNNN! C'mon 2K, DON'T BLOW THIS! MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE! Hey, this gives me an idea for a new post!

[ottoevans]

Career mode

-Start ur career when ever u want, such as if i want to fight with the current De La Hoya with 5 loses or the De La Hoya that just came out of the olympics.
-------If u start ur career in the present have all fighters with their real record ex..Floyd and cotto undefeated Hatton one lose etc.

-Have all my CABs that i want on career mode with the attributes i gave them PLEASE!! HAVE UR CABS BUILD THEIR ATTRIBUTES BUT ONCE THEY ARE IN THEIR PRIME LET THEM HAVE THE ATTRIBUTES I GAVE THEM. ( I HATE TO HAVE TO FIGHT FLOYD LATER IN MY CAREER AND HAVE HIM WITH 70 SPEED AND 6 LOSES WHEN HES ONLY 24)
-have a ref in the ring instead of a bikini card girl lol

-Have more than one title per division ( i dont like it in real life but lets be realistic)

-Make training like the Football 2k series where u schedule everydays training and schedule time for PR events

-Have realistic body types for each division ( no 300 pound looking guy in Welterweight)

-Stay as an Amateur as long as u want, improving ur attributes (the Con about that if u stay there too long once ur a pro ur already old.)

-Have more venues ( they dont have to be all real, have various club arenas)

-NO LEGEND IN CAREER MODE!!! (unless u choose to be a fighter from a past era)

-Have ring tear ( if u take a lot of damage in ur fights u get worn out ala-Gatti, If u dont ala- Oscar)

-HAVE A NEWS BULLTIN!! To see whos on top of each division and whos fighting who. I want to be able to see every divisons fighter and their record and results.

- Be able to jump weight divison whenever u want. Having the bullitin makes u go fight the best of other division or fighter ducking fighters so they jump ship. BUT U CAN ONLY JUMP DIVISION BY ALTERING UR TRAINIG REGIME AND DIET.

-Working on more specific things, weight, jab , hooks, movement, defense, power etc.

-Have a ton of more trainers each having different atrributes (defense, power punching expert, speed expert, Big Name Trainers for better PR)

-Have contracts negociations, on ref, venue, gloves, money

-Be able to challenge any fighter whos ranked 10 spots above u or below u. ( but of course u have to negotiate and can get rejected due to ur ranking. ) and have top ranked fighters sometimes accept ur challenge as they see u as a tune up.

-Be able to quit, because the beating ur taking can shorten ur career drasticly, or have ur trainer stop the fight since ur getting killed.

-Be able to schedule interviews with local and national radio and TV as well as magazines and newspapers. ( but u do too much of this, it gets in the way of ur training)

- Popularity due to interviews, ur record and the types of wins and loses that u've had.

-When u retire u can go in Promotor mode and recuit fighters and be able to fight as ur fighter.

When u retire have a highlight reel of ur career.

-----thats all i can think of for now-----

Game play and Presentation

- no Parries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Have flash knockdowns and Knockouts

-not so many knockdowns and when there is let them fall realistic not like they got witha bat ( how does a fighter who acts like it got shot in the head get up?)

- Have the ref stop the fight when a fighter is still standing and not responding.

-If a fighter is hurt have him un-steady on his legs.

-STAMINA, STAMINA, STAMINA!!

- Robes!!!

-entourage holding belts!

- choose how u want ur fighter to act as hes coming to the ring.

-Have the realistic introduction ( announcer says ur name record nickname and where u from how many times champion)

- Have the ref final intructions in the middle of the ring.

- When u win have by KO have ur corner come and celebrate with u, and the doctor and the rother trainer with the loser.

- Have a split screen of both fighter when the fight goes to the scorecards.


thats all i can think of for now, but if i had a game like this id probably die of starvation and lack of sun lol

[CzanMan]

Here are the games to check out and take the good parts from too:

- Holyfield Boxing/Greatest Heavyweights (Sega)

- KO Kings 2001 (PS and PS2)

- Victorious Boxers and the Japanese Version of VB 2 on PS2, and "Boxers Road" on PSP

- Title Bout Championship Boxing for PC (mostly a text sim, but lots of good ideas for different fighter stats, etc.)

- And of course, the good things you can take from all 3 Fight Nights, but please don't continue any of their bad habits! (silly parries, unbalanced styles, way too few boxer stats, ridiculously horrible career mode, non existent true one punch KO's, etc.)

[cam_da_man]

Long as Floyd is in the game I dont care they should also set it up so that you can download the boxers you want from Xbox Live

[sampsonthestrong]

ottoevans makes some damn good points about what should be in this game! Props to him!

[ottoevans]

hopefully man hopefully

[IBBALLIN33]

Well, this will be better than EA, easily! Can't wait to reserve my copy! Man, I hope they have like a big end of the year tournament, that would be awesome, totally dude!

[ronsaxton]

these are some really great requests. i hope that xbox360 can handles all of these things we want and more.

i want overall punch realism. it doesnt matter who i face.
if my request have been said before here please forgive me for repeating them.
i would like the game to have a very indepth create a boxer in it.
i want to be able to create his stance indepth. i want to create how he punches in every punch he throws. i want to be able to punch from every position he might be in. even a defense position. like cuss tought mike tyson how to do. when he slipped a punch he was in a position to land a punch also. THAT IS ULTIMATE BOXING SCIENCE!
i want to be able to create how he slip and blocks. how he moves and steps.
i want to be able to train him on his balance too.

when a fight is happening i want to here the ref says things like " dont hold him, let him go, watch your heads, keep em up, ". . . and when the bell rings i want him to say TIME!!!

i want to hear the trainers reacting better to what is going on in the fight with passion.
i really dont want to deal with the outside of the ring life of the boxers so i can have more control training, managing, negotiating my fighter.

gameplay in these things is a must

[chrono_j]

oh damn look at this guy no reading the entire post, i said "a break from real fighting"
slow down there bra, so adding a slam dunk mode in nba 2k8 aint arcade? shi bra stfu, its called extra, compliment to the real fighting, haha

[ghouse522]

Wow if somehow they put all of those features in this game, this would be the best game... serouisly

[POETICDRINK2U]

Adding a Slam Dunk contest isn't arcadish...it's a part of real life basketball(ever heard of the All-star game?!?)

[Grandmaster]

yes because in slam dunk contests the do a cartweel catch the ball backflip in midair and the stick the ball in their mouth.

Then they finish with the dunk baby! REAL LIFE!

[Sdot927]

okay the only thing i want in a boxing game is the ability to pull of a flurry i DON"T mean a little combo strung 2 gether i mean a REAL FLURRY of Punches ala SURGAR RAY, SUGAR SHANE, ROY JONES JR type of punching where u are in complete control of the punches not some 1 button special type of thing

PROS N CONS
PROS a very flashy and exciting way of stopping a fight!
now the way to balance it out so it wouldn't be a cheese
is every time u connect helps u sustain ur attack and makes it difficult for ur opponent 2 be able 2 punch back the more he gets hit resulting in either da corner or the ref ending fight

CON this will be a serious drain on ur stamina especially if u miss with ur punches to da point where u would literally tire ur boxer out to where it would be extremely hard to move and avoid incoming shots

also since this intended to close out a fight if tried to do this multiple times in fight the amount of stamina drained would multiply accordingly so the more u cheese with it the more energy u lose.

[Sdot927]

of course the attributes of the boxer would tie in heavily the faster hand speed of a boxer the faster the flurry so thier would be a real difference between some one like Mayweather and Jeff Lacey also since obviously the guy doing the flurry is being the aggressor u being the guy on the receiving end would have to be strategic or lucky with ur counter attack time ur shots correctly and knock him out of the flurry and potentially swing the momentum in ur favor and start ur on flurry ala Castillo vs Corrales the 1st fight of course!

[badasp83]

Another sport for 2K to pwn EA in. ;)

[POETICDRINK2U]

I dug this back up to see what some of you guys like about this wishlist and would definitely want. Please don't say aint no way they going to add this and that.... You never know. I sent this list to them numerous times,actually every game developer and person envolved in making a videogame.

Let's take this board back to ideas and boxing talk.

[Sdot927]

nah man chill out lets get back to arguing

[yungmelo]

SDOT YOU stupid for that 1 :lol: that's what i'm talking bout

LET'EM FIGHT!!

[Jackkk]

Some awsome ideas you got there poetic, hope they are taking in ideas from fans and including them.
Anyway got a couple of my own i've been thinking bout for a while.

The KO/KD - I know i lot of people including myself don't want (visable) health bars but the fact is the game has to have so way of determining when enough damage has been done to KO someone so in a sense there allways going to be there. But i think they should work so much different to FN an idea i thought of and i'm sure others have is to have a long term and short term health in the fight so instead of it feeling like you've just got to land X amount of shots to KO your opponent it gets a little more interesting. For example if you land a really good shot/combo on someone there short term health is either going to be completely depleted (meaning you put them down or out) or real low meaning there going to be dazed or winded there legs are going to be wobbly presenting you with the dilemma of rushing in spending a lot of gas trying to finish the fight and possibly getting caught yourself or taking a more composed approch picking your pucnches not getting careless which obviously will give them more time to recover. (obviously the outcome is based on your timing/power where shot has landed their chin etc...).

In the career mode in FN i reallyy hated how all you have to do is keep completing the training games and your stats going up and up and how one fight you can pretty much be joe frazier and the next ali (stylewise). So i thouht bout something different how about as an amateur you get say 10/12 fights and how you fight determines your maximum stats so if you mainly box on the outside using your footwork and jab when you turn pro thats the kind of fighter your going to be. I dont think they should be set in stone however but it should just determine your base and potential stats, but i dont think it should be like FN where you start out with 10 speed and through a couple years training it'll go to a 100. Instead it should off fairly close to your potential but you wont be as effective with it e.g less accurate but eventually through experiance and trainig you'll improve.

Finally cause i'm sick of typing I think as you progress through your career you'll be known for your signature punches e.g you often knock out people with a left hook the commentators will acknowledge it or your known for taking a lot of punishment i just think little touches like that would just add a little personality to your character and even make the commentary more realistic.

Well thats bout it I'm sure i could think of plenty more but can't be bothered right know thanks for taking time to read and i'd like to here anyones thoughts/improvements.

[POETICDRINK2U]

A moderator should sticky this.
