  Good Job, guys, good job! Nice to know we are being listened too, keep up the good work, I like the direction EA is going by being more open with the progress you are making. Keep going back to the forums because we are posting jewels in there.

  Taylor looks great in the second picture..... but Roy Jones jr looks out of shape in the second picture compare to the first IMO

• PeacefulW4RRIOR said May 12, 2009

  He has Roys Hair and facial hair. Maybe he's just in a non flexed moment and his cheek is getting pushed out by some leather which kinda gives the impression that its a chubby cheeked soft guy.

  But its cool to see yet more evidence that the devs are listening. Hey devs, the game is looking great, and I know it might be hard to read some comments some time, but everyone means well. We are just very passionate about this sport and this game series. Can't wait!

  you guys need to fix julio cesar chavez, his hair is to thick, does not really look like him

• Shogun of Live said May 12, 2009

  looking good, JT always comes into his fights LOOKING in shape

• prettyrik said May 13, 2009

  Good job also look like you guys worked on the lighting too can see all the details is Taylor's face unlike in the first pic.

• COCHISE1970 said May 13, 2009

  Please fix James Toney drop him down to Middleweight were he was a beast, remember the fighters are in there PRIME EA!!!

• eko718 said May 13, 2009

  Excellent work. Thank you for listening to us. Please consider allowing stamina to have more of an effect in matches. Videos I've seen to this point look like analog mashing slugfests. A fighter should only be able to throw so many punches before his stamina is temporarily sapped... I see guys throwing like 30 punches consecutive in these videos... please consider. Thanks.

• Well Loved said May 13, 2009

  I agree with eko718, not only that, but in the footage guys are also staying in each others reach and bobbing and weaving like maniacs and it's not affecting their stamina,I already mentioned this in the forum, plz fix this. boxing is staying out of someone reach coming in to throw some well place punches while trying to avoid his then stepping out of the boxers reach. If you decide to stay inside his reach you have to constantly bobb and weave to avoid his punches which really affects stamina.

• PikeTheKing said May 13, 2009

  You guys are doing an amazing job with this game. Moe pics needed though for fighter like Pavlik who's body type isn't correct either. Pavlik isn't as ripped/toned as the pics i've seen of the game. Yuriorkis Gamboa is also a little too big. From what I've seen so far this game is a 9/10, but if you guys allow button-punching(FN3), continue tweaking the models to perfection, and have unlimited Create-A-Boxers, this game will be a CLASSIC 10/10 without question. Gameplay is already the BEST in a sports game I've seen in a while. EA is back!

• Stakes Are High said May 13, 2009

  Taylor looks so much better, he looked so out of shape! Jones looks off now though. The same it looks like for Chambers. I know he's not in the best of shape and definition, but he looks bloated in some of the shots of the game.

  I agree with EKO's post. Another suggestion I would make is and I hope this doesn't happen in FNR4, but in round 3, there would be times where even though I would land more punches, I would lose a match because I was fighting a stronger fighter. Most times this would happen with Jake LaMotta and Jeff Lacy (I don't think Lacy is in the game, but is LaMotta?). Anyway even if I landed more punches, the guy still wouldn't go down and get me with one combo, and I was done for.

  I think stamina has to be determined in the amount of punches thrown and landed. There has to be that true feeling of fatigue and I felt that it was missing in part 3. I hope this isn't the case in round 4.

• Stakes Are High said May 13, 2009

  I just had a question which to my knowledge still hasn't been answered; since Fight Night only comes out every few years, is/will there be downloadable content for the game? Can the devs or someone confirm if this will be available? I really hope there could be content such as different articles of clothing and (hopefully) boxers not in the initial release.

• BabyJ5261985 said May 13, 2009

  I would like to know what the hell are you guy listening too??? We are speaking very loud abou tthe fighters we want in the game and Im not seeing any new posts out that make me happy. Yeah I will admit that the graphics are outrageously on point, but whats up with the roster???

  COCHISE1970 said

  May 13, 2009

  Please fix James Toney drop him down to Middleweight were he was a beast, remember the fighters are in there PRIME EA!!!

  He is right because Im tired of seeing the old, out of shape, eating disorder, heavyweight version of James Toney. How about the 168 pound James Toney who fought Roy Jone Jr.????

• TreyIM2 said May 14, 2009

  I have the demo and I like what's going on, so far. I need to play the actual game to notice the difference between the fighters styles, more so. I'm gunna let Pac-man and Hatton go at it with the CPU controlling both, in a jiff, to see what's up with that.

• coolmiah1 said May 15, 2009

  I believe this will be the best boxing game to date. You guys put allot into this one thx. But I work in marketing and all your hard work in nothing with out profit. So to me this product fight night 4 will NOT reach full mass with out listening to you customers. Know your targets in each segmentation there are targets. You must target each one far as bottom users and tcp users. That’s you market its no time to be selfish and say tcp all the way. Cause you lose the bottom users then what? All that work for what to say (tcp) I been playing since the first fight night and it was bottoms. Stay with what works and what your customers want. Its call surveys.

  I hope you guys put bottoms back in the game because I will hate to see a boxing sim like this not make history far as numbers and all you put into it. Last words think about real boxers that play your game, we all no Floyd Mayweather Jr. plays this game. Do u this a great fighter like him will say great game? no cause that tcp u miss punches cause u shot a uppercut but get a cross, Those mistakes can cost a real boxer a fight and you guys customers think about the people not the company we make the company not the other way around.

• HurricaneT said May 16, 2009

  THE MADDEN 10 SHOULD BE LIKE THIS GAME NFL 2K5 I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE GAMEPLAY AND GRAPHIC SHOULD BE LIKE THIS BUT IM SAYING THE HALFTIME SHOW AND THE ESPN SHOW AND ALSO THEY SHOULD SHOW THE STATS AND THE YARDS PER GAME AND STUFF CHECK OUT THE ESPN SHOW www.youtube.com/watch MADDEN 10 SHOULD HAVE THIS AFTER EVERY WEEK. THESE NEXT VIDEOS I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE STATS THEY SHOW DURING THE GAME AND ALSO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE TALKING

  1ST QTR www.youtube.com/watch

  2ND QTR (WATCH HOW THEY SHOW THE OTHER SCORES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN AND ALSO HOW THEY SHOW WHEN THE DUE GOT INJURED AND THE STATS)   www.youtube.com/watch

  3RD QTR www.youtube.com/watch (WATCH WHAT THEY SHOW AT THE BEGGINING OF THE GAME WITH THE RECORDS YOUR NEED SOMEBODY LIKE SUZY AND ALSO LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE ABOUT DAVID GARRAD THROWING 4 STRAIGHT INCOMPLETION WATCH THE CHEERLEADERS AFTER THE QUARTER MADDEN DONT EVEN HAVE CHEERLEADERS)

  4TH QTR www.youtube.com/watch (WATCH HOW MAD FRED TAYLOR IS WHEN HE DONT GET THE FIRST DOWN WATCH HOW MAD THE CROWD GETS WHEN THEY THROW INTERCEPTION AND THEY ALSO SHOW THE RECEIVING COMPARISON ALSO LOOK AT HOW ALL THE CROWD LEFT)

  AND AGAIN I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY AND GRAPHICS I THINK MADDEN HAVE THE BEST GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY THEN ANY GAME ON THE MARKET BUT IF YOUR COULD INPUT SOME OF THIS FROM 2K5 THEN YOUR COULD HAVE THE  BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!

• PastorTroy87 said May 18, 2009

  As mentioned in a post below, how about having an unlimited Create-A-Fighter feature, similar to what was introduced in Round 2, so that players can custom create boxers that are not in the game (Joe Louis...who should be!) to use in Exhibition fights and such without allowing those supped-up fighters to be used in Legacy Mode.

• BabyJ5261985 said May 18, 2009

  I just played the demo today and I have to say that there is one thing that I am very disappointed in and that is the controller configuration. It should be some of the same configs as RD 3. The fact that you cant use the buttons to punch is horrible. I can see that this game will become a right stick masher. The clinch, illegal blow, special punch, and push buttons should be on the directional pad. I hope that this is fixed for the real game. I used to used config 5 on RD 3 and there is no config close to it. There should be a config the allows a fighter to block without holding the RT button.

  SO PLEASE MAKE CONFIGS THAT ALLOW YOU TO PUNCH USING THE BUTTONS AND BLOCK WITHOUT HOLDING THE RT BUTTON...

  CONFIG 5!!!!!

• KiNG_NoYo said May 18, 2009

  ea this is simple...NO BUTTONS CONFIGS = NO PURCHASE from me and MANY , it will be UFC all the way if this is the case and it's a shame because EVERY fight night before has catered to both so please dont tell me that when you guys can FINALLY grab MIKE TYSON that you are gonna deprive me from one of my favorite games by taking away my fav. config.

• BabyJ5261985 said May 18, 2009

  Bring the buttons back!!! TCP is ok but not for the whole game. You end up in a stick mashing fight instead of a boxing match. Every Fight Night has used buttons, now how in the world can you make FN4 100% TCP thats some bullsh!t. Thats like if madden switched the configs to something totally different than any other madden game ever. Who's great idea was it to make this game 100% TCP? Whoever it was needs to be fired because they arent thinking about the fans, or players of this game. I bet if there was a poll out on who prefer the buttons or TCP, buttons would win easily.

  BRING THE BUTTONS BACK!!!

• Springboks said May 21, 2009

  EA RUGBY NEXT GEN???????????

• Kev-Weed86 said May 21, 2009

  DISAPPOINTED:- why take out the confirguration for buttons? if people using the stick feel it is an unfair advantage what would stop them training themself to use the buttons? as for the people that claim this is button bashing that is bull,,,, the only way this can be button bashing is if people are randomly hitting buttons to win. i use the buttons to pick my punch and feel i have more TPC than with the anolouge. the main point is WHY take it out all together? the only people moaning about this is people that use the stick and it is because they cant win on-line,,,,, sooooo make 3 lobbys on-line..... one for buttons..... one for anolouge and one for both and have a lock on the rooms so u are under the right config to get in those rooms. by taking this out you are asking us to give up OUR way of playing a game witch we enjoy and love due to moans that dont like our way.... there is obviously descretion, common sence would say make both sides happy!! Please give me a valid reason for the removal of this.

• xAUSTIN316x said May 29, 2009

  ea are you realy that stupid to take out the bottons i just played the demo for like 2 min the deletted that pice of *** i will never buy this crap ppl dont waist ur tome on this game stay with FN3

  HOW CAN YOU LEAVE THESE BOXERS OUT

  Also it seems like in the demo when your opponent is stunned you can just keep jabbing and he wont go to the floor the ref does not stop the fight. A LITTLE UNREALISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  The Boxers always seem to make an effort to get up as well. i have not seen a knock out yet where the boxer is out of it for example Hatton vs pac man. hatton couldnt move.

• beaves said June 10, 2009

  I cant believe you cannot use the buttons to punch, I think that is completely stupid. When I use the analog to throw a punch it doesnt even throw the right punch. The game would be so much better if you could use the same controls that were used in previous fight night games. Completely stupid! Put the button punching back in the game!!

• I-aM-dEcApAtAtOr said June 11, 2009

  I was REALY look'n 4ward 2 buy'n this game cause I know a thing or 2 about boxing, and let me tell ya' trying 2 throw strategically placed combo's by wiggl'n a f***n stick, is the complete opposite of TotalPunchControl!! I mean just think about it if I'm lean'n back wait'n 4 a lazy ass jab or a DESPERATE Haymaker from a CHEEZE TACTICAL PLAYER I can light u up with a right and left hook 2 the head followed by the same 2 the body... a 4 punch combo that hardly fails and allows me 2 Win more often than I lose.. THAT"S TPC if ya ask me! when u know exactly what combo ur gonna throw b4 THEY know it! the stupid analog makes ya throw random crap that makes the game feel more Arcade rather than Simulation!!! IN a real life fight R ya gonna throw ur attack's instantly on killer instinct?? or wiggle your toes and scratch ur bum first! that's what that Dumb analog control feel's like.. I mean I understand that theres button mashing players who just bang on it hope'n 4 da best! but theres also people like me who understand the sweet science of boxing who can bob and weave and counter all day making the game look S.I.C.K.  knowing exactly where the punches R landing on those cheezy DESPERATE HAYMAK"N RUNN'N FOOLS who USE the so called TotalPunchControl!!!! I'm REALY starting 2 think that 1 of, if not ALL of the producers who Made this game' get's Smackdown by people who r good wit buttons and would rather personally enjoy the game THEIR way' rather than putt'n extra money in their pocket" STUPID!!!!!!!! I GARRENTEE ya if ya put all the STICK WIGGLERS against other STICK WIGGLERS  the game is not gonna look half as good as a button against button TRUE(TPC)players!!! Square=jab Triangle=cross  X=L hook  Circle=R hook  Not 2 mention how easy it is 2 throw uppercuts!!! Isnt THAT TotalPunchControl?? or am I just stupid?? ask yourself this..   would ALI, TYSON, and all the other greats   BE so great   if they fought with 1 arm????????      PLZ don't ruin what could be an incredible game!!!

• littlejimdandy said June 14, 2009

  > is there a boxing sports news screen in fight night round 4, that shows top boxers stats, replays, etc, like a real sports news show.

• cjizzle54 said June 22, 2009

  PLEASE.....PLEASE....RT 5 Config!!! ANALOG, I WON'T SAY IT SU*K$....BUT IT IS NOT COOL. Please bring buttons back!!

• cjizzle54 said June 22, 2009

  BUTTON CONFIG!! BUTTON CONFIG! BUTTON CONFIG....or Undisputed will replace fighting games in this household. ATLEAST make it optional. Sorry I cannot buy this game until i've heard otherwise.

  I just want to know who is the arrogant jerk that spit in the face of the true fans that followed the franchise since it was knockout kings. I was looking forward to playing round 4 but EA had to ruin what would have been the best boxing game ever by not giving gamers an option. EA is gonna lose a lot of money until you put out a damn update bringing back button configurations. This reminds me of the time some idiot decided it was a good idea to force gamers to play with the QB vision on madden. NO BUTTONS.... NO PURCHASE!

  EA what happened?!?!? everybody is waiting on what is going to be the BEST boxing game out, and when you get it and turn it on is just plain beautiful!!! But than you start to playing it and it's like "WHAT" use the sticks? Okay I don't like that so i'll change my buttons, but I can't!!! Want are you doing taking the option to change "MY" buttons around from me!! That's just wrong if I had know that I would never had bought the game. I thought we had the right to choose things in this country buy I guess not!! I do know some prople who are not going to buy the game and I can't blame them. I think i'll stop by gamestop and trade in the game for something that I "CAN" play!!!!!!!
