I got the game - first game I bought with the system. Is it any good? The short answer is yes...yes it is good, and the online play gives it a new lease of life after you've exhausted the career mode. My only real problem with the game is that the career mode is actually very poor. You can 'create' your boxer, but the EA facials aren't that great - it's actually very difficult to get the boxer looking anything like yourself. Also, little things: you should be able to choose your style of shorts and gloves, and change them to whatever color you want, but you can't: you unlock sponsored equipment as you work through your career, but there are no modifications - what you see is what you get. The biggest problem with the career mode is that there are no world standings - no ranking systems. What the hell is that? At no stage do you know where you are ranked in the world. You don't know who the current champ is. Also...when you get to fight for the belt, there are no big announcements, and the Champ doesn't enter the ring wearing the belt. Not good. Not good at all.
That being said, this is a fun game, and you should pick it up. I play it a lot, but without the online play this would have been traded inside of two weeks.
Room for improvement, EA.
