wat's good Poet, this here below is a list of things I feel they should improve on and add in, it's pretty long but there are a few good ideas. check it out, let me know what you think

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to say before many of you attack me and say that I am crazy because this many fighters is too much to much to fit in the game understand that this is really a rough compilation of fighters I think should be in the game.

I think it can be done but the game creators seem not to believe so. I'm thinking though if a game like Uncharted could be 22 gigs by itself and contain so much content then there should be no reason why they can't make this many fighters in the game

I have been playing Fight Night since day 1 and I feel like fans deserve this effort, if they can at least add most of these fighters it would be worth while, can you imagine having a list like this?

this is every fight fans dream, this game would shatter ground man even non Boxing fans would play this, this would be the sickest roster ever, even a variation of this list with like 3 or 4 guys cut from each division would be insane.

I understand there are contractual issues that come along with adding fighters into a game but I truly believe it can be done, I'm sure just about any legend would love to participate in this game, I'm sure most young fighters would love it too, this is something that would be 100% for the happiness of the fans.

I waited patiently for years from Fight Night Round 3 to Round 4 came out and I bought Round 4 on release date. I'm a loyal fan of the series and I just want the best possible game, I hope the producers at least look threw this list and tell me what they think because I spent a whole lot of time thinking up these names, the list goes as follows

Total = 114 Fighters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Game Play Tune Ups

- Fighters should be able to punch while in the clinch and have the ability to punch themselves out of the clinch before the referee steps in

- Fighters should be able to take a knee if necessary, if the sacrifice of losing a point for taking a knee is made then the health meter should increase just very slightly more than it would if he was knocked down viciously

- Fighters should have unique taunts

- Referee should be in the ring at all times

- Fighters should complain about low blows, there should be a short and quick cinematics of the fights reacting, possibly still receiving punches during the process of the low blow landing and the ref stepping in to separate

- The ring announcing should be very in depth with records, hometown, nick names and all and at the announcing of the winner it should also be in depth and build a lot of excitement for close fights and loud, celebratory like energy when announcing the winner, the announcer should read the scores and it should emulate what a real fight feels like
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Technical Improvements

- There should be an artificial intelligence software in place that will allow for the computer to recognize any names you might type in, producers of this game should go to and select several hundreds of names of fighters and throw them in the list of pre set create-a-player names and put the A.I. so the announcers can say whatever name you input

- You should be able to play your own custom soundtrack from the music in your PS3 and also be able to add Entrance music to the fighters from the music in the PS3

- You should have an image creator so you can make your own signature symbols for your create a fighter, for example the "MP" on Manny Pacquiao's Trunks, the Tribal images on Miguel Cotto's pants. this will work VERY well with the custom gear option

- There should be a "Super 6" mode just like the Super 6 tournament in real life with the same advancement method, you should be able to set the tournament from 4 to 16 fighters. this is a mode that should be included under the regular tournament mode where unlike the "Super 6" if you lose 1 time you go home

- There should be an in-game offline feature in Fight Now that allows you to choose to fight for the 4 major governing body titles (WBC, WBO, IBF & The Ring), players should be able to choose when the title is on the line in offline play and when a champion is decided he will stay the champion until he is defeated for the title in offline Fight Now mode. champions in Fight Now shouldn't affect Legacy mode or online only the Fight Now section

- You should be able to EASILY access the character select menu to choose fighters quickly and carry along gameplay much faster from fight to fight offline, there were too many different screens and menus to go threw after each single play in previous Fight Night games, unless we hit rematch we had to wait at least a full 3 or 4 minutes with all the loading and stuff, this process should be a bit quicker if you add a sub menu at the end of each fight that allows you the ability to choose the fighters directly for the next fight without having to go threw the whole quitting process and controller select
