@TheMajesticGamer Personally I own fight night champion myself, and I can say no, definitely not, they lacked blood, it was very hard to give or get cuts, very hard to get cuts, orange blood overall, the moving system was horrible felt overushed career mode is way to hard in fight night champion. And in my opinion the only thing they did good in fight night champion was the camera mode/ view that was golden.

Used to stay on this game heavy back in college in them dorm rooms, once this hit xbox 360. People would block their torso and just spin the head around and around at the same time for defense lol..... round 3 REALLY nailed roy Jones' style. From him putting his hands behind his back, to him frequently adjusting his belt line while fighting just as he would do in real life. No other FN replicated RJJ style so accurately.

[@jayprimo]

The Washer Machine! 🤣 At least that's what my bro and me called it! We figured out uppercuts was the counter, and NOBODY got away with that shit anymore. There were so many "cheaps" in that game, but there was a counter to every one of them. Truly a billiant game

[@PowerfulFupa]

My favorite career mode. I remember having like 90 fights and getting older your stats start to go down slowly I remember changing weight classes it was revolutionary

[@TMeek94]

Yea you play in three weight classes I made a heavyweight as big as you could not knowing they would make me go down to middleweight eventually, and when I made it to middleweight every punch takes like half their bar away from my opponent, it was actually disappointing cause I like the competitive matches

After you're done with the Fight Night series, it would be awesome if you could play Foes of Ali for the 3DO, the EA game that started this franchise. There were also Knockout Kings and Knockout Kings 2000 also by EA on the original PlayStation + Knockout Kings 2001 and Knockout Kings 2002 on the PS2 + Knockout Kings 2003 that was exclusive for the GameCube.

[@BoogieKnight1976]

Despite the later titles, this one still holds its own .

[@Josh17656]

Hey Martial, just throwing this out there but the blocking system isn't just up and down, but you can also push the stick side to side while its up or down and it'll move into a parry block where if you're opponent punches to that side of the head or body (exactly where you're blocking) they'll be left open for an extra little bit after the punch.

[@isaachayes2180]

You need to get into career mode so you can have a better feel for the game. Also a plus is you get to practice head movement in a fight but take zero damage IRL👍.

[@SuperSohSo]

You really should use the Total Control punching. It works with the blocking and weaving and you can really get a rhythm going, if I remember correctly.

[@greg6162]

Negative… the TPC wasn’t as fluid and accurate as the buttons. The only thing I used the TPC was for haymakers. You could punch more efficiently using the buttons. Not as big of an advantage as Fight Night 2004 but it was so much faster using the buttons especially trying to counter punch

[@dontbeasucka.61]

Using tcp will have Haymakers and a better chance to knock out a guy. But button mashing is great especially if you're a smooth boxer

[@xxxzzz9654]

Hey martial I know this isn't relevant to the video but you should give undisputed 2010 career mode a chance it's definitely my favourite of the ufc games and is full of content and details such as interviews, visits to your gym/ teaching techniques, making decisions, cutscenes the interactive messages with mark(coach) the training games and the commentary in matches reference previous fights and choices e.g I was the light heavyweight champ and moved to heavyweight and was fighting up the ladder and Joe mentioned saying something along the lines of my character still having the same spark I had when I was the light heavyweight champion. It's really amazing. You don't have to upload it I'm just saying give it a go Edit : even though ud3 has better gameplay I personally think the career mode in 2010 is way better it's so fun and exciting,it also gives a nice story mode. Oh and also your character can speak in the cutscenes and post fight interviews. You get cutscenes with Dana and all sorts

[@nicksrandomreviews]

You need to check out the Victorious Boxers series. Its based off a relatively obscure anime, but it has the absolute BEST movement and swaying mechanics of any boxing title. It straddles the fine line between arcadey boxing, and being a sim. Its a lot closer to FN than Ready2Rumble, but it does have some less than realistic elements (one game has a bear as a playable fighter. No, you did not misread that).

2 names i'll never forget.....NewJerseyJrive and LordOvDaRing....... NJJ was DAMN good, and whereas I could bang with him a few rounds, he would eventually outclass me, we fought I think 3 times. LOTR was a damn CHEAP. Fought him 2 or 3 times, was whoopin him every time, then he would resort to "cheaps" for the win. If anyone here fought online seriously, you know these names too. They were top dogs. If ya'll 2 are here, we got unfinished business. JayPrimo/FacelessData signing off. FN3 top 10 games of all time, let alone sports games.

[@robertwollenberg9838]

It’s strange seeing someone playing this game without using haymakers or parries

[@gods90son]

He thought the signature punch was the haymaker 😂

[@Superthedarkskingod]

No why is the video so short? Hey Martial you missed a few mechanics again for this game as well. The parrying system and the actual haymaker system again not throwing signature punches. You can also throw combos but they're more so left right, left right than doubling or tripling up on the same side. If you play this again try throwing, jab, straight, left hook, right hook with a speed boxer or when you have an adrenaline boost.

There's a reason the jump to Champions from Fight Night Round 3 is so great. FNR3 on PS3 was an HD reskin of the PS2 game that came out in the mid-2000s.
