FIGHT NIGHT Round 4 Community Playdate Recap

Close to 100 fights were duked out in last month's FIGHT NIGHT Round 4 Community Playdate as the developers put out the challenge to the community and players came in droves to answer the bell for a shot at the makers of the game.  On this end we had ten developers rotate in and out through the evening to face a lineup of players in the community.

Huge thanks to everyone that participated including the fansites that also participated.  Though we would've like to have recorded each and every bout, we were able to put together some highlights from a few here.  In the future we will be doing PS3 Featured Game Night for our Sony fans, so be on the look out for that.

Game Sim Predicts Unanimous Decision for Pacman

Manny Pacquiao will win his highly anticipated November 14th bout against Miguel Cotto with a convincing unanimous decision, according to the official EA SPORTS simulation conducted using Fight Night Round 4.

According to the simulation, Cotto's defensive prowess and methodical approach to attacking Pacquiao's body kept the opening rounds extremely close. As the fight approached the middle rounds, Manny countered Cotto's strategy with his blinding speed, keeping out of range and forcing Cotto to keep moving forward. Forced out of his defensive strategy Cotto leaves himself open and Manny takes advantage by raining down quick combos while maintaining his range. The combos begin to take their toll on Cotto as the fight approaches Round 8, as he is bleeding and visibly slowing down. Cotto continues to attempt to pressure the body, but the damage he has taken throughout the fight slows him down so much that he can't get close to Pacquiao. Manny, who seems as fresh as when he started the fight, sends Cotto to the mat with a weaving left hook at the end of the 8th. Despite beating the count, Cotto is never able to recover and loses the bout by unanimous decision.

Round by Round Scoring:

                              1   2   3   4   5   6   7    8   9   10   11   12    Totals

Miguel Cotto        9  10  10  9   9   9   9   8   9    9     9     9      109

Manny Pacquiao 10  9  9  10 10 10 10 10 10  10   10   10     118

The simulation was conducted using Fight Night Round 4's all-new AI (Artificial Intelligence) system. Dubbed R.E.A.L (Record, Evaluate, Adapt, Learn) AI, the system re-creates each fighter's ring strategies in the game based on their real life counterparts. Built with adaptive logic, the system triggers fighters to change their tactics based on their success, or failure, throughout the course of a bout.
