But pitting Meldrick Taylor against Locche has been irritating, because Locche in particular may as well have been named John Smith through many of these sims. So for example, my Barrera v Morales tests looked solid. Getting a Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep or Nicolino Locche to fight as they did is the biggest chore, because the game doesn't handle defense great.
The game's biggest limitation to me is in handling - or not handling at all - a defensive fighter. My conversions are solid for fighters who were pretty standard boxers or sluggers.
EA supposedly has a new version in the works, but it's taken a back seat to their UFC franchise, and this ESports Boxing Club game in development has promise, but the lack of real details let alone a release date makes me think we're a year away at least from seeing that come to fruition.
I have begun an endeavor to attempt to fix the solid but flawed Fight Night Champion video game, adjusting fighter ratings based on the classic Title Bout game, as while I love Title Bout boxing just begs for graphic representation.
