    I personally think Round 4 was objectively the worst installment and Champion was the best installment. Round 2 was my personal favorite due to nostalgia and how many crazy fights I had with my homie on it. Plus being able to punch someone a million times while they're on their way down with the jelly legs never gets old lol.

    I literally play fight night champion on series x everyday...I love that game so much. I put it on GOAT difficulty & start legacy starting in the amateurs & build myself up until I become undisputed in 1 weight class, move to the next weight class & become undisputed, keep fighting until I become #1 P4P & then I retire & do it all over again. I don't just focus on it all day but I play it in between the main games I'm playing at the time kind of to relax

    This is why UNDISPUTED is getting attacked on such an epic level. If people don't think that EA sports / EA games is going to try and destroy that IP your insane. They already got the licensing from the boxing organizations which to my knowledge EA never had. They also have the rights to a lot of fighters, So EA sports being the dictator publisher / developers that they are will for sure try to snuff it out.

    I loved 2004. It was the first Boxing game I ever owned. Although.. Yall gonna hate me,im a button player LoL. I never used the total punch control. I thought the haymaker in Round 2 was whack,Round 3 was pretty fun. I couldn’t play Round 4 because it was exclusively analog punching,I tried. Champion isn’t as good as 2004 and Round 3,but it isn’t a bad game. I like the story mode,and it isn’t too hard to create a few guys just to add to your fight roster. I been waiting for Undisputed for seem like the last 5 years

    Nothing has yet to come close to what round 3 did, I remember when round 4 came out I was so excited thinking it was going to be the next dope boxing game because they never had let us down before, but then they gave us that load of horse 💩 I was so lit down by round 4 that sold it back that same day, game was $60 and then the guy was like will give you 25 bucks for it 🙃 but that’s GameStop being GameStop 🤣 let’s not even get started on champion the worst one out of the whole series the game went from being a boxing simulator, to a arcade boxing simulator. I don’t see how most people always say that champions is the best one 😂 in my opinion is the worst one of the whole franchise I’d rather play knockout kings 99 then champion any day 😂

    I personally can't wait for the next fight night. I may be in the minority here but the UFC series gives me the impression that the next fight night is going to look and feel amazing. EA is very good at visually representing the sport with it's presentation and audio; aside from the gameplay itself. At this point, I'm expecting dlc for every sports title they release so i pay no mind to it anymore. And currently Undisputed is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. The direction they are taking the gameplay and presentation has a lot to be desired in my opinion. The last Fight Night still feels like a better sim than Undisputed in the core gameplay especially in the movement and pace aspect. EA continues to master that. So I'm sure the next fight night will be an amazing showcase. It's just as anticipated in the sports genre as GTA6 is for AAA games lol

    Any boxing fan who has some basic understanding of business and gaming can tell you why EA stopped making Fight Night. Boxing just isn't as popular as it use to be, the playerbase drops off very quick just look at Undisputed Boxing. If the people 'promoting' boxing or the people running boxing actually cared about the fans instead of lining their pocket then boxing would still be very relevant. From corruption, greed, too many belts, too many weight divisions diluting divisions and the fights we want to see either never happening or happening when they've lost all momentum/hype... That all aids into why boxing isn't what it use to be and why we've not seen a new Fight Night game. How many UFC games since FNC?.... Its sad what this sport has become.

    EA simply abandoned it. When they got the rights of UFC circa 2013, they stopped making Fight Night in favor of UFC games. that was a disaster because we lost two great games, 1) the good old UFC undisputed series and 2) the legendary fight night series. now all we have is the lame EA UFC series (excluding 2, it was the only good one). EA first dropped Fight Night for UFC, now they dropped Classic UFC community for the casual gamers, as you can see on the latest games. EA doesnt care about fandom, gaming or anything else, they only care for what makes profit.
