  • 'Fight Night' is without a shadow of a doubt the best selling, highest quality, most consistent boxing video game franchise of all time. With 5 entries spanning across a 7 year window, tens of millions of copies sold, and an ever-growing roster of top caliber superstar athletes on the scene, there's only one question on everyone's mind... What the hell happened to Fight Night? Where did it go? Did EA Sports cancel Fight Night? If not, what's the story?!
    Well, that's what I'm here for today. I'll tell you exactly what happened, why it happened, and we'll even delve into the future of the franchise. Boxing is in an exponentially better place in late 2021 that it was in 2011, when Fight Night Champion released, so the scene is set. All we need is for someone to sit down and direct the next masterpiece. Let's get to it.

    Great look at the franchise, man. EA really was good back in the day at making grab-and-go fun games that someone like me could grab without knowing or caring about the sport itself. I used to have a blast in college with their budget hockey title, same as you being able to hop into Fight Night and just enjoy the time.
    I think a new boxing game would sell a ton right now. As much as I despise even saying this, if someone threw the Paul brothers into a boxing game, it’d sell to fans of theirs, and it’d also sell to people who would buy it solely to beat them up.
    Another great video man!

Sorry for you Playstation guys, but it looks like EA Sports is only allowing us Microsoft guys to keep playing Fight Night 4 and Fight Night Champion. I wish the SONY had backward compatibility as it did from the PS2 and PS3 era.

    Remember going to blockbuster and wanting Fight Night Champion and my mom not letting me get it at first because it was M, but I flipped to the back and showed her Pacquiao was in it and that was good enough for me to rent it. Boxing is something that goes from generation to generation and while I hope UFC 5's career is fleshed out with a better career that isn't a pain to playthrough. MMA doesn't currently have the history boxing does to connect people, my dad played as Tyson and would tell me the insane KOs he had or Foreman winning the belt at 2 different points in his life while playing it or watching it with me. But the feeling I have with them not going into it and getting a 2nd team for boxing is that you can't put a damn ultimate team mode in any combat sports games. But hope you keep making vids, always neat seeing at least 1 creator do what they want

    Man Ian at 7 minutes in the quote about EA taking one team and moving them to another project....it still rings true today, The news came out that the Madden Franchise updates we were promised all year from EA was being scrapped with the reason going around is that EA moved the Madden team over to work on the new college football video game rather than just put a new staff in place for that game. Crazy they are still doing this stuff today. Great video as always.

    • @TBsports27
      @TBsports27 2 года назад

      The full quote
      "According to sources close to the game’s development, EA Sports has made the decision to cancel the plans for the remaining two large in-season updates for the mode. This comes just under two months since the game’s scouting update, the first of three planned feature improvements to the mode, was released to everyone.
      The decision was made to cut the plans after moving a portion of the Madden development team over to the new EA Sports College Football game that’s currently in development. Because of the staff movement, EA Sports decided to put more of the focus on Madden towards year-over-year development."

    Champion wasn't just a great game that sold well, it was a great product that had a compelling story to boot. Fight Night getting the plug pulled will always look odd, even knowing why it happened. Even as someone who isn't a hardcore Boxing fan or just a Fight Night fan, I was well aware of the series and it's strong presence, so knowing it's been absent for over a decade is a head-scratcher.
    Though I'm not sure how well I can scratch with a boxing glove, but I can try.

Also for the past 2 months or so, i've been keeping an eye on the ESRB and PEGI websites to see if the game's been rated.

    I'm impressed at the restraint you had to not outright say "screw the UFC," because that's sort of where my mind's lingering right now, haha. Granted, that's not fair to fans of MMA, but I still like watching boxing more in the end. I've only played Champion, but it's a heck of a fun game and I agree a new FN game in this day and age would be totally bomber. Sadly, no one can count on EA for miracles... but I appreciate the fan interest you've drummed up!

Manny Pacquiao got me into boxing back in those days (well i guess the fact he's also filipino like me lol)

    You can actually still play Fight Night Champion on Xbox ONE and Xbox Series X as it's one of two Fight Night games (the other being Fight Night Round 4) that is backward compatible and Fight Night Champion still has online play. Sorry for you Playstation guys, but it looks like EA Sports is only allowing us Microsoft guys to keep playing Fight Night 4 and Fight Night Champion. I wish the SONY had backward compatibility as it did from the PS2 and PS3 era.
