How do you start a boxing career with little-to-no strength and speed? Why do you have to endure tedious training sessions that don't function well is beyond me. It seems that every time you fight certain fighters, every punch they throw registers as a counterpunch. I mastered every training session in last years fight night but it seems that this year, they have made it unnecessarily difficult. You should start with stats that are high and have to maintain them, not the other way around. I still hate the method of getting up after being knocked down. I miss the old method of button tapping til you gain enough strength to rise. The graphics are good and the player animation is solid but the game has no life outside of the story mode. They still haven't nailed Tyson's speed or Ali's smoothness. I would have liked a zoomed back camera to be able to strategize your positioning a little better. Trying to fight from a distance is still a headache and the counterpunching is still too telegraphed. I really tried to like this game but I just feel they tried too hard to make it real and eliminated any fun factor to be had. It's not a horrible game to play with friends but the computer has a layer of cheesiness that takes away the games enjoyment.
