This mode is just fantastic! EA has gotten tons of credit for their story modes in stuff like Madden and FIFA, but this is really well done.Fight Night Champion is the most wonderful PC game in this genre. There is a betrayal, lots of fights, lots of blood, and tons of cussing as well as he tries to prove he is the best. This is a cinematic story mode where Andre Bishop has been incarcerated, starts boxing in jail, and works his way up to becoming one hell of a fighter. You also have a career mode where you can take your favorite boxer and try to make them the champion of the world, but the real star here in terms of game modes is the Champion Mode. You have your quick fights where you can just jump in and fight the AI or a buddy which is a lot of fun. There are various game modes on offer in Fight Night Champion. It is a real shame that this was the last game as the controls here are really perfect and I would love to have seen how they implemented new things to this control scheme. You can still dish out more devastating moves with various combinations, but overall, I would say the controls are much more accessible this time around. It may sound a bit odd, but it works much better and gives you freer control over your boxer. They added in a new control method to this game where you perform your strikes with the right analog stick.
While you can play Fight Night Champion with the buttons if you like.
The destruction looks so realistic that the game had to be rated M for mature! Take Control However, it is the damage that appears on the boxers, the blood, cuts, bumps, and bruises that are really well done. The actual boxers and the many different locations all look great, as does the TV-style presentation.
