Ok, i did this with a traslator..in dictionary.com, but from what i understand these are the finer points of FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 2

GENERAL

* No Klitschkos
* No Big Tigger
* 40 Licensed Boxers
* Hopkins, Jones, Toney, Wright confirmed
* Better Graphics (looks way better)
* Individual muscle movement
* Playstation pushed to the limit in graphics

GAMEPLAY

* Total punch control is back, but now you can punch, cover and move at the same time!
* Fights CAN be stopped by cuts
* CUT MAN in the corner (30 seconds to stop bleeding or lacerations)
* Cuts diminish defense
* new Haymaker punch
* IT seems that clinching is included, we need confirmation from someone who speaks german

Career

* Unlimited fight career
* you can edit your created fighter during career
* The stuff you buy, like boxing gloves, actually change attributes

Random question: Anyone know what engine they are using? I know it's most likely the same as Fight Night '04 but which one was that?

Though they are anti-alaised and cleaned up the graphics are still impressive.

* No Big Tigger

I think this is the most important bit of progress. He's been replaced with the ESPN guy.

Also, there are clinches.

SWEET! I played the 1st one to death. This one sounds way better, I'm glad they got rid of Big Tigger.. I was getting tired of playing as world class boxers while feeling like I was fighting in the ghetto.

if it isn't Renderware, it will be next year.

Not *too* far from next gen Madden teaser. Well, it is far, but these pics make that kind of graphics look definately possible on xenon and ps3.

Those next gen madden pics will be easily achieved on next gen systems..i dont know why so many block heads in here refuse to believe that, lol

Those are renders. Aren't they?

Why are the BG's so abstract?

 

[Outcast2004]

I hated the total punch control. I couldn't combo very well with it at all. Perhaps it was the fact of me using the Xbox "duke" that had something to do with it.

I switch to the control 3 with punching on the face buttons and defense to the stck and tore through my opponents due to my long reach. Loved the game but i was REALL disappointed with the end of your characters career.

All you get is a message saying it's time to retire... al that work along with the shitty training (damn you punching mitts, I never got a perfect on that once) made a great game a disappoitment.

I wasnt to be able to determine when to retire. If I can go into my 40's and box (with diminishing skills) then so be it. Don't decide it for me.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

A good career mode, better clinching and movement and less "playaz ball" setting would make this game fantastic.

looks great, sounds great...

+10 Anticipation.

I'd like to not be able to max out every attribute of a created boxer.

 

[Kingpen]

They better include music ripping for xbox... that was one of the major downfalls of 04, and probably the reason it went to the used bin in anticipation for 05 for me.

It would also be really nice if they tryed to make the game look a little better on xbox then ps2... I give major kudos to Sega for doing this with the ESPN games....

 

[Biff Hardbody]

Very nice. Some good improvements there. I see by the screens they are concentrating on the arena's and making them showy, but I'd rather they concentrate on really building up the boxing. The changes they do list make me happy though. I hope they give Marciano the correct stats this time...

damn! that was the best part of the game! tigger was so hilarious!

Constantly remind me why you have the tag you have.


No big tigger = hell yes.

I wonder what horrible problem awaits Bernard Hopkins.
