With today's announcement of the DLC coming in December, we also wanted to add that a free component will also be made available at the same time consisting of a new Title Update and more free Gear. Here's a quick blog from Producer Mike Mahar:
Hello Fight Night 4 fans,
Over the last couple of months our community members have been providing us with feedback and we thank you for that.
We're extremely flattered to know we have a dedicated group of passionate fans who are willing to spend time playing the game and providing us with insight into how it may be improved.
Brizzo and I have been on Podcasts, the forums, and PM's answering your questions, and while we didn't have time to add all the feature requests into the game, we significantly overhauled some of the game play elements to address your online gameplay concerns. Here is a list of some of high profile additions you can expect in the next update.
Game Play Updates
- Adjusted the locomotion speed at close proximity so that your opponent can no longer trap you with glued feet
- Increased the stamina cost when continually punching
- Increased stamina loss when continually weaving
- Increased stamina loss for users that spam upper body movement
- Can no longer perform a perfect block when spamming the block
- Increased the stamina cost when continually running away from your opponent
- No illegal blows can be thrown by either user when one user is in a stun state
- Increased stamina cost of Haymakers
- Tuned punch accuracy when opponents are moving their head
- Reduced locomotion speed when throwing punch combos
Create Player Updates
- Allow users to duplicate and edit ratings of licensed boxers
Online World Championship Updates
- Improved cheat detection logic
General Updates
- Various Bug fixes
These updates will be available for FREE. Also available for free are over a dozen new Create Boxer accessories including Boots, Trunks, and Gloves.
As mentioned in a previous blog, you can choose to purchase all of the DLC content at the bundled price OR you can choose to purchase each game mode and boxer separately.
The bundled price will save you some coin, but ultimately it's your choice what you purchase. Final prices are still being locked down so be on the lookout for more information coming soon.
We hope you enjoy the game play changes and the free gear. See you online!
-Mike

Brizzo, Mike, and our Man Behind the Cam, Freddy, are at it again. This time they have a look at the gear sent to them by our friends at adidas.
Thanks for all the great feedback so far on these videos along with all the comments from the last round of Q&A's with Jeff and Brian.
The team is getting pumped about our Community Event less than a month away where we're planning on bringing in not only the Community Leaders to EA Canada, put also our fans via the wonders of live feed technology. More to come on that soon!
Enjoy the video folks!

Fight Night producers Mike, Brian and Freddy take a look at some of the gear that Lonsdale Boxing sent the team. Some shoes, gloves, trunks and more. Mike and Brian test out some headgear (a little bit).
