    The question is why wouldnt you give a ten. Good graphics, total puch control, great game speed and legends you dream of fighting, what more can you ask for in a boxing game. The loading takes a little bit but that is what you get with so many good thing in the game. We need the old school critics to evaluate games. Some of you new school critics have forgotten on what gaming is about. Hey, if you wannt I will work for free to give a better criticism of these games. Thanks, Bobby.… Expand

    I love this game. The commentary is much better than last time. Ricky Hatton is on the front cover, which as per the EA Sports curse means he will lose in 2005! Bad luck Ric!

    Game is good but there is always room for improvement. Like there is now pre fight intorductions and you cannot knock your opponent out of the ring., and I mean straight into the floor. And why every knockdown is like that fighter collapses to his death? When you win by KO or TKO the opponent is still standing and crying that he didint win. Where is the logic for that? EA should use rag doll knockdowns like this: If you knockdown your opponent for first few times, he shouldn't drop lifeless into ground. He would stumple or slip or just crawl not fall like a corpse. Other than that the game is great with good control and lasting career mode. I really hope next year corrects those little, but IMPORTANT things.… Expand

    Another nice addition is the "woozy" camera angles that appear when you or an opponent is nearly knocked down. It's a small touch, but a very dramatic one. [March 2005, p.115]

    Imagine last year's innovative gameplay system multiplied by two. Sure the Haymakers need some work, but the clenching, enhanced AI, cutman mini-game, and other additions make up for it.

    The most striking change is in the innovative control scheme--where you use the right analog stick to throw jabs, hooks, and uppercuts--which has now been slightly altered to enable you to fight more like a professional pug in the ring.
