If budget is the issue, how about cutting some of the budget for that soundtrack that ends up getting muted after not wanting to hear "Jurassic 5" or "MC Nobody Cares" for the 90th time, and let us worry about uploading our own tunes. Will that free up some dough to get some of these updates to make the game really feel like its been revamped?

Spot on. I would love to know how much money is blown on music rights on games. As you rightly state technology exists to allow us to upload our own music so why waste money on music people won't necessarily want to hear. One of the first things I do when I get a game is go to the options & turn the music right down.

The ring announcing is better but not brilliant. The commentary lacks substance once again. There is something missing in the pre fight. I can't quite put my finger on it but you just don't get the vibe of a big fight match up. Disappointed overall with the lack of improvements to this part of the game.

Missing this- Welcome Live to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where Manny Pacquiao is set to defend his championship against SSM in a welterweight fight for the ages. Here's Manny/Shane as they arrived earlier this evening or a look at Shane/Manny in the dressing room. Now time for the tale of the tape Both fighters come in at 147.. Shane has a height and reach advantage.... Rules of the bout....Music hits...Lets go down to Michael Buffer..... Fighters enter (not everyone enters like Prince Naseem) ...Ladies and gentlemen LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE....In the blue corner the challenger SSM In the red corner the champion Manny Pac...now for final instructions...LETS GET IT ON! something like that?

Sidenote on the corner man issue. I wish you had the option to choose a trainer and corner man at the beginning of your pro career and stick with him/her (can you say Ann Wolfe) say your first 20 fights with the option to only switch after that and keep that trainer for at least 3-5 fights.

The entrances do feel a bit cooker cutter. I'd scrap them all together in favor of shorter entrances with more in the ring pre-fight analysis. I can recall Judah entering the ring then side shuffling around the ring while his stats are being discussed OR Pac on his knees in the ring in prayer prior to the fight starting. Just a thought.

Agree, I relly dont care for the entrances, I'd rather have a in-ring pre-fight detailed presentation

this would be perfect.... but I guess perfect is too much to ask for?....

This right now looks similar to a street fighter game VS screen...then bamm fight!!

That's terrible, and sad. I didn't know Sugar Shane was mexican. Pacquiao doesnt jump around when he comes into the ring, wtf.......they lost a customer, and I LOVE boxing......

yea when i saw Sugar Shane with the Mexican stuff i was like wtf???? Made no sense. IMO the entrances flat out suck. They aren't like real life and theyre basically the same thing we've had for years now. I dont wanna hear about budget because its not like itd cost them much to just do something different with the entrances. Show them walking down, belts being held if they have any and then show them in the ring. Not dancing around with lasers shooting off. Nobody does that in real life.

And they should just save the money from the music side and have us use our own music because the soundtrack is always a disappointment.

Seriously, Sugar Shane in Mexican attire. If it was EA that released this video, its just proof of their incompetence.....If its in the game.......Its messed up details like this that have me believing all the resources were put towards the Prizefighter II story mode.

The reason Shane has on mexican attire is because he wore it in his last fight against Mora on Mexican Independence Day. He wore mexican gloves and shorts. If its anything like Fight Night 4, you can change the attire of official fighters so its not really a big deal.

With that said, I'm dissapointed in the entrance. I have no idea why they cant have bigger entourages, fighters actually stepping into the ring, belts held behind the champ.

My mistake then, but I hope that Shane doesn't have this as his default setting.

Re: Fight Night Champion Video: MGM Grand Entrance Between Mosley and Pacquiao

And this is what I talked about in the other thread about presentation why after all these years can't we get an intro just like real life. I mean these guys making the game are boxing fans I assume so they know how HBO/Showtime/PPV show intros . I mean we all know the other sport games have nailed it and intros are much more important in boxing than any other sport by far as it builds up the fight so I am just at a lost here.

Exactly. All we ask for is Authenticity. Which these guys have absolutely no desire/ knowledge to deliver.

Re: Fight Night Champion Video: MGM Grand Entrance Between Mosley and Pacquiao

One thing is missing is the announcers. We have no idea if they are doing the broadcast in a suit, pajamas or their drawers. They need a scene during the intro showing them standing up at the camera talking about the boxers. And the cheesy way they look into the camera. That's what's missing.

Re: Fight Night Champion Video: MGM Grand Entrance Between Mosley and Pacquiao

Not bad for EA I guess. Seems like they rarely aim for authenticity. I guess this is another case of going "beyond" broadcast presentation.

Re: Fight Night Champion Video: MGM Grand Entrance Between Mosley and Pacquiao

EA just doesn't pay attention to presentation at all and it's showing with the entrances. It's basically been the SAME BS each and every year. The in-ring stuff in the entrance was halfway decent though but everything else is boring as sh!t. I'd hope they add stuff but if they are already releasing a video of it then that means they must be proud of it hahaha. I'd like to see what the guys behind the Show could do with a boxing game.
