Rebuilding Title Bout - Page 3

I don't think boxing is going anywhere, because the amateur scene is hot with young up and coming talent. 10years from now my son will be what Tyson should have been. My son is built like a horse with grown man's hands...he's 9.

Boxing in a game helps you create boxing the way you would want it to be. I have been pushing this for years on other sites.
The kids on some of these sites who have become boxing fans because of boxing games. I have kids interested in the history of boxing and ask alot questions about past boxers.

* The amateur programs in the US are in terrible shape. Just look at the Olympic Team in 2008. They were fundamentally terrible. The best amateur programs are in Cuba, Russia, Germany, Italy, Ireland, ect......

Simple answer - create a real sports manager game where I am the manager. If this was a real manager game, I would buy it. It is a sim in the true sense and is not a game. It's a digital version of a decades old board boxing 'game' which was cool when I was 10. I like simulation games and so do a portion of the gaming public, but you have no game in this thing. Imagine if OOTP let you simulate 1 game and that was the whole gaming experience. Then you could sim another game unrelated to the first game. This was also something I did and loved when I was 10. I would not do it now. Building a franchise if fun. In fact I play the wrestling sim mentioned earlier and I have little interest in wrestling. But starting with a show in a bar with 6 fans watching and local jobbers as my stars and building to the top organization in the world is fun.
You guys have promised this for about a decade. I bought version 1 on that promise that it would be added in. Never was, never bought another version and never will til you add it. There are half a dozen game of poor to middling quality dating to the dos days that let you manage a stable of boxers. Why the heck can't you create one given you already have all the data and much of the programming in place.

theres so much that can be achieved with this game , im almost certain that we will all find problems when the new game comes out but if they get it almost right it wont be too difficult to do a patch to fix anything we dont feel is right .

Im a little disalusioned at the mo with tb2.5 , i had a house fire in june so lost my pc in the fire , all my universe gone after so long ,
ive been working on a new universe since july on my laptop , but i know how much work the first one took to do , so its making it difficult to motivate myself to get much progress made , maybe its me being too ambitous , but i like to include every single current pro from uk ,germany, usa , canada etc etc all the major nations and as many of the rest that i can find out enough about to accurately rate them (with current records included but not each individual fight in the history as that would be far too much work), i can then have all the titles being up for grabs from world level right down to say the polish title etc , i can then group all the fighters appropriately .

problem for me is ive always struggled to come up with an accurate enough way to sim the universe , plus the aging thing never seems to work properly either .

If anyone has any good methods of simming there universe id be interested to hear them , same applies if anyone knows of any solid databases i can download from anywhere .

one more annoyance is that i dont know how to include pictures , for example belts , fighters or ring card girls .

Any help with any of this stuff would be great .

Back to the point , id be pretty damn happy if title bout 3 was basically like tew10 but boxing (and of course the tb fight engine rather than choosing the winner

)
