nice, tivs.ca is a pretty useful site. I just traded some games in and they were pretty accurate.

Looks like a good deal, anyone with both UFC and FNR4? Which do you guys prefer?

UFC is good but gets old really quick.

Damn, I won't be able to get this, I'll probably end up getting it used after a month.

Have you tried out Fight night yet? I tried it really quickly at EB games but I didn't find it all that fun since I was getting my ass kicked bad.

I have not played FN4 yet. I've owned FN3 since it came out about 3 or 4 years ago,k and it still get plenty of rotation. I think it's honestly the best next gen sports game to come out so far; or at least tied with NHL 09.

Thanks. Too bad I missed out on this =(
I gave up all my crappy games for MW2 and NHL 2010 so all I have left is MW but I'm already sick of that game.

can't stand FN4 compared to 3. the controls suck, the minigames are so insanely hard as to make them pointless, and having to use that stupid fight calender is pointless and time consuming. i ended up trading in FN4 a couple weeks after i bought it

the training sessions are not hard at all, you just need to train your boxer to get better at them and be smart about your selection... such as better to spare against weaker opponents in the beginning rather then trying to achieve the same sparing points against world class fighters. I found the training sessions in FN3 were too repetitive and easy and that became a hassle to do then after a while

By far a better game then FN3, well worth the wait. I like the game a lot because it's not a button mashing type of game... if you go into a fight with a game plan working against your opponents weakness and remain committed towards in the fight, you'll score the KO

The only thing I don't like is the weakness the computer has towards hooks to the body... I wish the Ai was smart enough to prevent you from loading up on it.

So far I'm really liking FN4. It's the first boxing game I've had since... like, Punch Out or something and I quite enjoy it, even though my brother is still kicking my ass at it.

The legacy mode seems pretty deep so far, and I don't mind the training sessions, anything that'll help me get better at this game.

First thing, schedule your fights roughly 3 months apart.. the goal is to get 2 training sessions... so the shortest date that allows your boxer to get 2 training camps.

Second, when in fights make sure you win the points awarded for the corner men between rounds.... no matter what find a way to win this. I'll rather give up the round to make sure I win this. If I'm always bettering him in this then that means I can recover more then him... if you dominate this then by the late rounds you'll be KO'ing him. A lot of my early fights I lost on the scorecard heavily but my fighters record is 41-1-0 with 37 KO's... I don't worry about winning the rounds, just focus on setting yourself up to get the KO in the late rounds

maybe not a good strategy, next time I'll try the opposite but I tried very hard to not move up the latter... always hanging around the lower tier to improve my fighter so by the time I got to top competition I was skilled enough... that might have hurt me in the P4P rankings, I'll find out when I retire
