I've got to play it, and certainly very impressed with the game. Not only by the graphics, but the gameplay as well. If only I had a 360. :(

Thats what i'm talking about blim i've played this game religiously since I got it.

The game is amazing graphically and the gameplay is just incredible. Do you see how intense the antialiasing is?

You should show some ring entrances so people can see how amazing the antialiasing is it appears as if its 16X AA. Working on the cuts in the corner the online fights everything is just great. Only time i've lost online is when someone choose the featherweight class and I'm stuck with some bum. I've yet to lose with roy jones I've beaten the crap out of people that have had the game longer and with some amazing win loss records. I was playing an unranked match against the 2nd best person in the world in fight night and he threw in the towel and left after i knocked him out for the 4th time in only the first 2 rounds :)

You've got to try espn classics!! Madison Square garden while the dodge calibur was parked right there next to the ring (these guys make a killer car model)

Also another thing deserving mention is that when you start career your characters stats are down so thats why the fights aren't as fast in terms of punching speed as they'll be later on after you build up their stats.

After fighting with roy jones you TRULY see how much slower others are :O.

Yeah its a great game, but i was more then let down by the career mode, everything they said they added were basically gimmicks as it turned out to be waffer thin ( the whole weigh in thing, thats just a joke )

Other then that, bring on FN4!

Oh yea, I kinda expected them not to go too far with those stuff they can save it for next fight night. Some other things I really want in the next fight is ummm boxer specific entrance attire and ring entrances (with songs they normally use, in addition to the capability to use your own song from 360 hdd as entrance music)

I'd like while I'm working on my fighters cut other people come in the ring and start giving him water to spit out in a bucket or tossing water on his head etc lol. I'd also like to see mouthpieces fly out of your mouth or gloves tape become loose so you gotta go to corner to get them adjusted. If there is a bad cut i'd like the doctor to come up to the ropes to check the fighter's cut to decide if they want to stop the fight or not.

At the end of fights I want them to show people crowd up in the ring like you NORMALLY see in boxing and boxers pacing back and forth or something as they wait for the judges scores to be announced by the announcer after the fight and then I want to see a reaction from the winner or loser and a little celebration taking place.

I WANT TO SEE AN ENTOURAGE RING WALK (showing you preparing or praying in your locker room would be cool too. I also want to see people in your entourage holding up belts if you own more than one or something and I want you to have the ability to choose which belt you wear or give to members of entourage and where you can put the belt you wear. Over left or right shoulder or waist.

I also want to see boxers raise the belts in the ring after they've won the fight as they are picked up or hugged by their corner/entourage.

And if they have time throw in some rocky type moments where he yells for adrian lol just kidding, but I'd really like those features to be put in. I'd also like to see better rival related situations, weigh ins etc) The rivalries gotta be improved.

Tell that to EA, they sent me the game 10 days after release. And I should still feel happy they sent it in the first place.

I bought this game since release and I couldn't be any happier. The game is great. Oh and fighting with another person is just what I call having FUN. Great game, and I'm not even the greatest boxing fan.

i ll eat my words....
i have this game at home....and it looks just as good as the e3 tech demo.....there is no difference aside from the animations....the realistic rippling face effect is here as well....the only difference is that there is also a crowd,something that was absent in the e3 demo....its really film quality stuff and definitively the kind of gfx i want to see in next gen...
it seems there is something else i ll have to stare at,aside from my precious pgr3 photomode pics

There is a difference alright ;) The 360 version graphically beats the e3 demo ( if that was a target video of some kind they put it to shame)

dont exagerate.....the e3 demo had some more facial detail....the lack of facial geometries is quite evident....but,just like i said,there wasnt any crowd in that demo and crowd takes a lot of geometries space....

Huh?? The faces in fight night are perfect no way that e3 demo had more facial detail. The geometry on the fighter's faces isn't lacking by any stroke of the imagination. Roy jone's face is accurate so is hopkins, dela hoya, hatton, arturo gotti, and so many more the ONLY fighters that seem a bit out of place (and its minor are the fighters that are no longer boxing such as frasier, ali etc which is to be expected. It would've been better to mention something else because the faces in this game definetly aren't in need of more polygons.

Each fighter has different skin types and certain facial characteristics which you see on the real life boxer and fight night for the 360 gets them accurately (hell if winky wright didn't ask them to remove a bump he had on his face when he came to get his body scanned for the game it would've been there lol.)

Maybe you think there isn't much geometry in the face because the fighters shown in the 360 screens don't weigh as much as the 2 shown in the e3 demo?

i m talking about the ps3 screen when the face ripples.....
in the xbox 360 version,there are some rough edges in the faces and the rippling is less pronounced....also some fighters have dead eyes.....something ea is still stuck in, since the last gen.....2k solved this problem with glassy and realistic eyes in nba 2k6...i hope ea solve the problem......they look like zombies....lol....
though i appreciated the motion blur very much....overall its film quality stuff...i m just nutpicking.....where is the self-shadowing....?lol

Nah that same face rippling effect takes place in fight night on the 360 you just have to hit the right punch in the right spot that same face ripples happens in this game all the time. Where its waves upon waves of ripples.
