Fight Night 05

[CRAYMAN]

Is this game ANY good. I'm not a fan of EA, but I LOVE boxing. I didn't like Fight Night 04 though.

I want this to be GOOD. Let me know so I can pick it up if necessary.

It's better than the first Fight Night. Much more to it, and the power control system for Haymakers is AWESOME.

Inbetween rounds you have to try and heal your guy as best possible as well.

Jafo put up a video of the game today, if you want to check it out.

It's a complete fight, so save the file and skip through it if you want. I love the in-between rounds setup they did. You now have to heal your swollen face or fix the cuts with a nice setup.

This is easily the best boxing sim ever. I played Jafo's copy all night last night and will be getting it this weekend. Playing on XBL was a bit of a pain, because of EA's crappy setup.

Btw, this is coming from someone who thought that FN 04 was great.

[Spaztic]

I am getting it!

[SamSmith]

i saw a vid, and the characters look great, the sweat effects give the skin a much more realistic look... it looks like its been bump mapped, but i cant picture effects like this from ea.

thatever theyve done, it looks very nice!!

fight night 2004 was great! i thought they would only ruin it by making a second one. i couldnt see what could be improved

[CRAYMAN]

I got it!

[Casper]

Cray -I just got it too. Fought 2 fights off line and realize I need alot of practice. I'll add you tonight when I get on.

[mattgame]

I got it and my first impression is simply this: I LOVE IT!!! Oh my God!!! They have the new haymaker punches and man when you land those it's thunderous fo sheezy!! The graphics, the movements are improved. The only thing I don't like is the training is way too easy now. Other than that, I am ready to knock some fools out!!

[CRAYMAN]

Let's fight tonight...bithces! I played last night(offline). I know I'm not ANY good, but I will learn. I played '04 in the store for a few minutes and didn't like it. Glad I gave this a chance.

But where the hell is Vitali Klitsco!?!?!? He's only the Heavyweight champion of the world!!! I don't get it. They can sign the NFL Players Assoc. to an EXCLUSIVE, but not...Klitsco???

[Casper]

Yea, not sure what happened with Vitali - kinda peeved he's not in there. I went to Blockbuster to rent this today and the bimbo gave me the PS2 version Gotta go back there tonight

HAHA! I'll be on around 10 pm to 2 pm.EST

It's a good game so far. But I wish the knockdowns from body blows looked more realistic, like a body blow. Maybe the boxer would periodically go down on one knee or favor that side. And now they have instituted...PARYING?...whatever.

[101st_Airborne]

I wanted this game, but it was either Fight Night of Brothers in Arms. Im not dissapointed in my decision. I'll be picking this game up in about a month


Oh, is Oscar De La Hoya in the lineup?

[Casper]

Oscar's retired, so nah, he's not in it. I think he might have worked on another game in the past? That's why Tyson's not in it either.

[CRAYMAN]

I saw you on last nite.
You were playing MLB2k5 most of the night.
I played a few matches online.
So far...I like it. But you're right about the EA online experience.

[SamSmith]

EA online... if it is anything like it is on fifa 2005 then it is stupid... voicless, letter chat lobbies... damn, they just cant do anything... but it does get better when you start playing!!

[Variation-XBA]

Oscar's retired, so nah, he's not in it. I think he might have worked on another game in the past? That's why Tyson's not in it either.

That and they didn't want to animate his special, the ear bite :P

[CRAYMAN]

Ha! Yeah, that would be his 'signature' foul.

Sam, isn't that old joke/statement in your sig getting attention? You keep making it bigger and changing the color. Pretty soon it's going to take up my whole screen. Wat up wit dat?

[ghost 009]

how do you do the haymaker punches if you don't use the ****ty total punch control control settings?

[SamSmith]

Ha! Yeah, that would be his 'signature' foul.
