Some more Prizefighter details
by 
Gameplanet, a New Zealand website, has released some previously unknown specifics on 2K Sports’ Don King Presents: Prizefighter. It looks as though they were able to obtain a partial fact sheet.
Live the Boxing Life – A full career mode offers players a comprehensive story line that follows them through real-life boxing situations such as injuries, facing stacked odds against a corrupt judge, and more. These dramatic moments are told in a sports documentary style using the voices and images of world famous boxers and celebrities from the boxing world.
Knock Out! – The developers at 2K sports weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty when it came to fine-tuning the fight mechanics in Don King Presents: Prizefighter. Cumulative effect punching and surprise one-punch knockdowns and knockouts will keep gamers on the edge of their seats during every match. Height, weight, reach, and strength all play a part in how well a fighter stacks up against the enemy.
The documentary style career mode has already been discussed but the first sign of what to expect within is mentioned as situations dealing with corrupt judges and injuries will arise. The potential of one punch knockdowns/knockouts will be a welcome change to the “have to knock my opponent down four times before he’s done” style of Fight Night. The remainder of the partial fact sheet was previously known as it details the number of boxers expected, commentary, and the online gym.

The judges part sounds dope… One thing I want to know more of is the online stuff… 2k games are good online, how will they use that function?

The one-punch knockdown/knockout is an element that’s sorely been missing in the Fight Night franchise. The “stun punches” in FNR3 are way too mechanical and forced. At least on paper, Prizefighter is shaping up to be a real boxing-sim.

Finally we might be getting a more realistic boxing game then those stupid fight night games.. i just hope more attention is focused on gameplay and less on graphics cause thats all Fight night games did were just give you good graphics.. dont get me wrong i enjoy nice graphics but gameplay is the number one thing they should put to concern when making this game if they want it to be a sim game not an arcade game.. im tired of playing those stupid fight night games so please 2k give us a good sim boxing game

The pressure’s on 2K to deliver. Everyone’s been cryin’ out to 2K to make a true boxing sim. Prizefighter will make or break 2K Sports. If Prizefighter turns out to be the sim that everyone is hoping for, I believe that 2K Sports will overtake EA for good. Gamers have already expressed that 2K Sports makes the better games. But for this generation of consoles, EA Sports’ crowning glory was the highly touted facial-ripple replay of FNR3, which forever will be embedded in our heads. If Prizefighter tops FNR3’s flash with great gameplay and content, it will be a huge statement for 2K Sports.

No need for all that, just because I intelligently broke down EA Sports, of which you’re obviously a fanboy.
