   This is the best Fight Night game in quite a few years. The story mode, although short is a lot of fun, and allows you to use mulitple fighting styles. I like that the game play is more fluent and much more user friendly then the previous installment (round 4). If you are a fan of boxing or earlier Fight Night games then this is a must have title.… Expand

   Fight Night Champions had a lot of potential after coming off a good string of previous games but after playing a good amount of this game i felt really underwhelmed. I have been playing Fight Night games for years and have seen a good evolution in the gameplay and realism but with Champions i feel it fell flat. Overall the graphics of the game were improved but nothing to shout about, there was no major changes from FN4 but seeing as the graphics from that game were good that's not really a bad thing. In my opinion its the gameplay, presentation and the modes are the weak point of this game, I feel that the gameplay in FNC has took a step back, the new punching controls can be a bit chaotic at times and you will find your boxer throw all different kind of punches when all you wanted was two jabs, as you go on this will iron itself out but still the stick movement can be annoying. When it comes to presentation of this game it is major deja vu, all of the presentation has simply been recycled from the previous titles and put into this game. The boxer entrances are exactly the same, the arena's are exactly the same, the commentary seems mostly unchanged and that's just some of things, i understand that not every year can be different but at least do some changes and make the game feel a little more unique then just feel like a FN4 DLC pack. When it comes to the modes the game both shows a good side and a bad side and i will start with the new Champion Mode, Champion Mode is a very interesting edition to the game and offers a good change to what we have come to expect for sports games but its nothing to leap out your seat for. The story is a fairly run of the mill rags to riches boxing story and offers a alright plot and some good fights, i think that if the can expand on this mode in the future it could be something special. The next mode i would rather not talk about but i feel i must, Legacy Mode has built a firm place in the Fight Night Series but the one problem it has is that it hasn't changed an awful lot since it came about and with FNC it is no exception and like i said with the presentation its just recycled. Legacy has had minor changes but overall its the same old and is a huge disappointment for a mode that i usually spent hours in. Overall Fight Night Champions has been a bit of a let down, when i saw early trailers and screenshots i felt like we were getting a rebooted and more addictive game but to be honest the game feels recycled and the changes that have been made don't bring a whole lot to the game, i felt like i was playing DLC for a previous game instead of getting a new experience.… Expand

   Please read! The reason this game gets a very bad 1 is because the owc (online world championship) mode is sooo bad. If you dont play it from day 1 then people are 20-30 ranks higher then you, not better fighters but there stamina and strength are alot better then yours is. So in a way its like fighting while going on the **** and eating nothing but doner kebabs instead of training. The fight now option is good and what it should be like online in all the game modes, where you choose or create a fighter and the fight is based around skill, the story mode is BRILLIANT but it lasted for less then 2 hours so thats why my review score is low. Also on legacy mode the sim before a fight is soooo slow and stupid offers between fights for less money then even needed and to top it there are constant reminders from you coach to win.....really i would have never guessed! I have had my problems with EA in the past but things are still on edge, whoever thought of the story mode WELL DONE but make it longer next time and save time between fights in legacy mode just sim all the weeks before training in 2 seconds, and give searious sponser deals where you get things that are worth having. I had 15+ million when i retired GOAT what the F is 5k going to do? and make online world championship good too where you dont fight a guy after spending 4 days on single player then to get a fight online with a guy who is level 90+ and my brand new boxer i just made is 70ish. FNR4 was full of body spammers who traded belts back and forth with friends more then a prossie in amsterdam and FNR3 had a haymaker that could rip the universe in half. However the story is good but very short and online fight now is good but replay value...meh not really. rent this game trust me i am a die hard boxing fan.… Expand
