Fight Night Champion demo is on Xbox live

Just finished trying it and it was alright. They've fixed the stamina now so you can't just keep throwing endless hooks without sapping your energy. I found it difficult to knock the guys down, I got lucky once and knocked Cotto out cold in round 1

Who can you play as?

Not alot of options

HW is Tyson and Ali
WW is Cotto and Manny

Not bad, better than just two fighters to choose from

Ill have to check and see if demo is out on the PSN

How was all around game controll Ali? Was it just stick or could use buttons as well? Was mechanics better then Round 4?

I sure hope so

You can use both, the stick seemed alot faster and accurate than the face buttons. The mechanics are quality as usual.

Oh and the demo also has an online option, so you can fight other demo players on XBL or PSN.

I thought you had a PS3 Ali? Not an X-Box.

I own both, but I've always been an Xbox guy.

I just the PS3 as a Blu Ray player.

I played it and thought it was good. EA's forum has a bunch of people posting opinions: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/4746877.page. One thing is it's hard to get a real feel for it because it's 3 round fights. You don't see the long term effects of using strategy over aggression.

+1

I enjoyed it, seems like its alot better than the last one

No corner game in this one?

Yeah it seems they've done away with the corner game, so your recovery will probably come down to how hard you train.

I've also heard if you have alot of wars it'll impact your career.

I can't wait I've already got it pre ordered, and the story mode finally has some meat on it's bones.

I read going to have made-up belts like EA or whatever belts because don't want to waste their money paying ABC belts. Which I think is fine.

Still, wish could get a deal with The Ring and just have The Ring belt. Honestly can't see The Ring asking for money. They don't ask for money with their belts, so why would they for a game. It'd bee good publicity for them anyway.

Seems the people on EA boards think the same way

Ahh I am not really bothered about the belt situation in the game, I just can't wait to finally knock Wladimir out with The Savior.

Yeah, but it's called "Champion." And seriously, it would be good way spread the word to casual fans and gamers that ABC belts are bullshit
