    ESPN has an exclusive preview for Fight Night Round 4 which goes over the game in detail in a Five Things You Need To Know article. Gameplay changes, graphics, and career mode are all discussed. You can check it out in full here. The premise is all about lacing them up and defining your legacy in whatever division you decide. And when I say legacy, I'm talking about everything from you never really made it to be anything bigger than a bum to being considered a club fighter, and then there's...

    EA Sports has finally solidified the release date for Fight Night Round 4. The game will be out on Tuesday June 30th. Interestingly that falls on the birthday of Mike Tyson who is the centerpiece of this game. As expected Tyson and Muhammad Ali share the cover. The release date makes sense in that it falls in between dates for other EA Sports games that were already known. Tiger Woods 10 and Grand Slam Tennis are coming on June 16th and NCAA Football 10 is out July 14th. Update: The re...

    The Vancouver Fight Night Round 4 event was already highly anticipated however this was elevated with the release of the Fight Night Round 4 Ali-Tyson teaser just recently. Over the next weeks and months pastapadre.com will be trickling down the awesome features to this upcoming addition to the Fight Night Series. I had the extreme pleasure of being picked to represent pastapadre.com and certainly was not disappointed. (more…)...

    The day has arrived with numerous website representatives in attendance at the EA Canada studio in Burnaby BC for the Fight Night Round 4 Community Event. Throughout the day I'll be updating this posting with the latest links to content or any information coming directly out of the event. Given that the game is still 4+ months out from release we won't be seeing gameplay footage and the details the group will be able to share may be pretty limited. However EA is attempting to provide by f...

    EA Sports is hosting a community event for Fight Night Round 4 in just a couple weeks. While I won't be attending the site is being represented by Moz (who I go back with a ways and currently resides in the forum). The event takes place on February 23rd. Given that it is happening about 4 months prior to release of the game it is uncertain what will be open for discussion coming out of it as it may end up being more about feedback than distributing information. Despite that I wanted to po...

    The recent Game Informer that had some new details on Fight Night Round 4 also included the first screenshots from the game. Someone took the time to transfer them online providing the opportunity for everyone to check them out. They focus on the young Mike Tyson that seems likely to be on the cover of the game. I've added the images to the screenshot gallery. Even as a launch title for the 360, FNR3 still graphically matches up with with the sports titles being released today. FNR4 may e...

    Gamestop has adjusted the release date for Fight Night Round 4 to what appears as though it could be the official one. Previously it was in the system with a placeholder date but it has now been changed to Tuesday June 30th. Generally Gamestop would not make a change such as that without having specific reason to do so. Looking at some of the releases already slated for around that time FNR4 separates itself from UFC 2009 Undisputed (May 19th) by six weeks and NCAA Football 2010 (July 14t...
