    • “The champion mode is exactly the boxing story you would write if you ever had the urge to write a bland boxing story.”
    • “The story mode is a little dull and pretty much straightforward.”
    • “Story mode is stupid, terrible plot and just not interesting (maybe if you could make choices to kind of write your own story... just a thought).”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    • “The new boxing mechanics make the game pace much faster and more realistic (as realistic as a video game can be anyways).”
    • “The gameplay looks good and the storyline is interesting.”
    • “They didn’t fix gameplay issues as it is a port (copy & paste) from the previous game.”
    • “To get right to it, the idiots at EA Sports who designed this game must have had only one thing in mind: 'how can we make the gameplay as cheap and as troll-friendly as possible while simultaneously screwing over all the decent gamers in the world who just want to have some fun on their days off from work or school?' This is the only conclusion I could reach; that it must have been intentional because there are so many holes and exploits programmed into the fight engine that any no-life loser could just come along, learn a few extremely cheap moves, and completely rob everyone else of a fun, fair, and competitive gaming experience.”
    • “The biggest downfalls of this installment (PS3 version) are the mechanics and online.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users expressing disappointment over the inability to import their own music, especially given that previous EA titles allowed this feature.

    • “Great graphics and soundtrack (not a PG game or soundtrack, FYI).”
    • “The only con I have so far is the failure to import your own music into the game.”
    • “I am not a fan of hip hop or most in-game music, and that was a big plus when purchasing NHL 2010, so I can't understand why this game cannot incorporate that feature since both are made by EA.”
    • “Also, I felt cheated in round 4 with EA giving PS3 users the finger by taking away the ability to import your own music.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, -67% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    • “I haven't experienced any crashes or bugs during my playthrough.”
    • “The performance is smooth, and I appreciate the consistent frame rate.”
