Was just thinking that a further Fight Night installment is long overdue and found this. FFS !

EA now think MMA is where it's at (I've never watched any MMA), not good signs

EA Shelves Fight Night To Make UFC Games

[bzkfn]

It is just a time being thing. EA MMA kinda bombed in sales, even though it wasn't a bad game, so they decided to put the EA Canada Fight Night team on the job after they got the UFC licence because they changed the boxing market. They want UFC to do well so they're focusing their efforts on that, then they go back to Fight Night. They said it would be alternate years anyway. MMA 1 year, Fight Night the next. UFC is out early 2014 so expect a Fight Night in 18 months.

18 months ?

So that will be nearly 4 years between releases. Thats shite. fact

I googled this a few weeks back. Still play FN pretty much every week.

I defo will not be buying the new xbox or ps until a new top-notch boxing game comes out.

Not been a fan since they dumbed the punch control down to stick stabbing anyway...

As a big MMA fan, I'm hoping they can make a game for MMA what FN Champion was for boxing. FN Champion was the greatest boxing game ever.
