Fight Night Round 4 swings its final punch, as online servers will be taken down next year according to a press release from EA.
Guess we won't see another Fight Night until next gen at the soonest. Did any notable boxing games come out this gen at all?
Fight night round 4 is still the best boxing game at the moment.
I still pop it in my old Xbox from time to time and nothing beats the feeling of a close fight in the late rounds.
cut the UFC Servers too , some of those grapples look awkward when people would walk in and see 2 guys straddling each other, i tried soo hard to make it not look weird
Round 4 was the best the franchise had to offer. You could find success playing to each fighters strengths and anytime somone wanted to spam a particular cheese i could always find a realistic boxing strategy to counter it. Champion started off pretty good but the game was very exploitable and became a cheese fest. The auto block severely hurt the game as well. If they ever make a new game i hope they look at how they achieved competitve balance in the gameplay of Round 4.

Improved 4K visuals, a new generation of boxers and improved multiplayer lobbies…man, that would be great. Until that day comes, Fight Night is going to remain outside of the periphery of the fighting game genre, as the ref slowly counts one of the finest franchises out of the ring.
Fight Night Champion was an abomination - but man, I'd love to see a new gen Fight Night game.
Wow. I'm not very sure which game is more visually impressive, this or UFC '09.
What do you guys think?
Meh it still looks the same. I think i'll pass even though playing as mike would be absolutely great. But i would rather they make a boxing game using an engine like killzone2's. Until third party devs start tacking advantage of each platform individually (ps3/xbox360) then i'll pass on most of them this gen, with the exception of Fear2, RE5 and SF4.
Looks more cartoony yet more crisp, sharp and detailed at the same time.
The only thing that sucked about round 3 were the ring girls, can I say low detail anorexia? They better get them right, as I need something to look at between the intensity of the fights.
Think they could of done a better job making tyson look more like tyson.
