Description
Realistic boxing simulation introducing Total Punch Control, a system for managing punches entirely through the analog stick. Published by EA Sports, released in 2004 in the United States and Europe. Features around thirty licensed professional boxers, a career mode, custom boxer creation, online bouts via Xbox Live, and highly realistic anatomical visuals.
A boxing simulation from EA Sports, Fight Night 2004 marks the genre with its analogue stick punch system that brings the player's gesture close to the on screen movement of the fist. The sense of impact, the facial modelling and the visible damage offered striking realism at the time. The modest mode content and a dated AI weigh. A founding boxing game for fans of realistic combat sport and the curious about the early days of analogue punch control.
