EA Sports considering bringing Fight Night games back after Eddie Hearn plea to software giants

Yeah I finally played the single player campaign and it was surprisingly good.
Dealing with the boxing industry is a complete pain in the ass as far as licensing goes so I'm not surprised EA hasn't tried to mess with it in so long.
Eddie Hearn probably just wants to try and make more money off Anthony Joshua while he still can lol

Man don't fucking play with me EA. Like forreal forreal.
I been practically begging for a new Fight Night since Champion.
I really don't care for y'all as a company nor do I really fuck with most y'all games, so if there's an opportunity for ME to throw some loot YOUR way, then you BETTER fuckin' take it

With the current big names across the heavyweight and other divisions and the new generation about to begin it's really great timing.
Fight night won't stand up as a series again but as a one off next gen graphical showcase, absolutely.
A half decent version of the game should make at least a few million sales.
Additionally there's a chance to wrap the most complete and best looking boxing game as a VR experience with the package.

She later clarified that it wasn't EA that reached out for her. It was an independent project.
the licensing costs probably don't make that realistic. id imagine the reason then dropped boxing and went to UFC in the first place is UFC is a single entity. You pay them a fee you get everything.
I'd be down for this especially if you could include the newer generation from the Creed films.
Don't get your hopes up, most likely it'd be a career mode like the modern UFC games instead of the better past Fight Night ones.
Hard to say if it's on development and confirmed by Clarissa, because there was another boxing game that indeed was on development by a different company and it was contacting different boxers including ex heavyweight champion andy ruiz.

They did that in all the other games, it wouldn't be different here. There's no fighters association / union. It's the same thing in MMA.
I don't think EA had to negotiate with every fighter. They got the fighters with the overall deal.
I remember going round to my friend's house and seeing it for the first time, those graphics were mental!
Was just thinking about this series the other day. It's bizarre that Champion, which will be a decade old next year, is still the most recent entry.
At least it's BC on Xbox and can be easily accessible in the future on the platform. It still holds up even graphically.
Hopefully it happens. I think the winner of Wilder vs Fury 2 is the perfect person to put on the cover.
I still play Fight Night Round 3 on my Vita because it is so, so good. I miss those games. UFC/MMA just isn't the same as a good boxing game.
Pretty much.
But at this point, everyone's thirsty for another fight night, they could make a complete new one with fiction characters and the great character creator fight night champion had.
Cmon...the first ufc title looks a generation ahead of champion.
Pretty much how they've always done it. Unfortunately it's why some guys like Floyd didn't appear in the later versions. He wanted too much $$$.
This would be fantastic news. FNR4 and Champion were awesome and better showings than anything EA has done with the UFC series.
I'd love a new Fight Night but I imagine having to make deals with PBC, Top Rank, Matchroom, and Golden Boy would be a huge headache.
so long as they get rid if the haymaker system. made online fights borderline unplayable and didnt feel like boxing. single player was amazing though.
Yo i played all the fight night, all the knockout kings too since the ps1, we always got a boxing game from ea every gen, fight night 3 was my favorite please ea give us one with wilder and fury on the cover
I don't dislike the haymakers, but I quite liked the parry system of FN3, where you were able to punish the hell out of the opponent for being able to time his attack AND direction.
