#Fight night round 2 gamecube career mode series#

Depending on how furious your offense was, the amount of times you'll have to do this varies.īy far the easiest way to get an opponent down is by using your special punch, a trump card that will either do massive damage or (if you miss) open you up for a devastating attack, and EA's new addition to the gameplay, the Haymaker. By landing a dynamic combo of attacks, your adversary will eventually lose ground and hit the canvas.

Once you get that meter down to zero, the game goes into slow motion and all punches take on additional potency. Your progress in doing this will be shown by a red meter towards the bottom of the screen. In order to knock out an opponent, you'll first need to wear him down. Once you feel you've gotten adequate training through the various tutorials and pre-professional rounds, you can choose to go pro, where the fights become harder and the rewards become more lucrative.įights are fairly simple. You'll start out, as you may expect, as a first-time fighter trying to make a living by duking it out with other hopefuls. Higgins will always be an ace in my book. Personally, I've always wanted to see a heavy-set man with a uni-brow and a 70's style afro hop around in satin shorts, so my body choices resulted in Vlad 'The Dude' Higgins. Just as in other EA Sports games, you'll be able to create your own athlete, which is a great plus, as the options are extremely varied and different feature types are plentiful.

One year and a Super Punch Out port later, I'm able to give the series a try with Round 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm satisfied.įight Night's Career Mode puts you in the role of an underground boxer trying to make his way up the ranks from an amateur clobbering someone in a bar to the main attraction in a Vegas rumble n' tumble. Unfortunately, I was out of luck, as the game wasn't offered on the GameCube. I'm not much of a boxing fan, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't intrigued by EA Sport's all-analog control scheme in Fight Night 2004.
