That, and the chance to beat BigBuc's ass

As if you had a chance in Madden. You really have no chance in Boxing. :bootyshake:

Gameface for those who dont know about it.

Hi there,

I thought I’d give you a quick peek into our Photo Game Face feature in Fight Night. We’ve had tons of fun creating some very realistic, or sometimes some very bizarre looking new boxers for the game. Using this feature is a great way to put yourself, one of your friends or your favorite boxer in the game. I thought I’d show you the results we got using a photo of Brian ‘Brizzo’ Hayes our game play producer on Fight Night.

After uploading Brian’s photos, I placed the markers onto the images so Photo Game Face can accurately work out where to put features such as eyes, his chin and the basic shape of his face. This way, you aren’t just pasting a photo onto any piece of geometry. Photo Game face takes the photo and changes the geometry to fit, this makes the face you create much more individual looking and accurate. If you can get a side view of yourself or whoever you are creating, as well as the front view, then your head model will be even more accurate.

Placing the markers…

This is the result you get from the photo, the hair is a default one and facial hair colour isn’t set from the photograph, so that needs to be changed…

And here are the results once facial hair and skin-tone was changed. I also tweaked his chin and forehead to make it bigger with the advanced facial morphing tools and added facial hair...

For really good results, make sure you are in a well lit room or even outside so the light is very even. We found you didn’t get good results if there were loads of shadows all over your face.
With the advanced facial morphing section, you can push and pull the facial topography to really get accurate with the boxer likeness.
After playing with the face a bit more, you can go and tweak your boxer’s body type, attributes and all his equipment, plus much more. The Create Player section is pretty huge, so I won’t go into the details in this blog right now. Here’s a image of some of the screens in create Player:

After that, into the game…

Brizzo Vs Calzaghe:

Using Photo Game Face has been a lot of fun, we’ve created all sorts of boxers, and some people who aren’t boxers… but I’d get in trouble if I showed you those images!

That’s it for now.

Think having everything set up here is the best thing. I dont feel like maintaining a webpage. If there is enough interest after the 1st few weeks I may do so but these forums have some pretty good features so we should be able to do it here if we can get our own section.

 

[BigBucs]

We will be able to. I'll make sure they let you mod the section. That way between the two of us we can really do some nice work.

Any thoughts on weight classes? Maybe we should just have one title since it looks like the league might only be 16 or so guys.

As far as weights it depends on whether we want to do a CAB league or a standard fighter league. Using the regular roster gives us some flexibility because we can have nights where we have a diff weight class challenge. If we go with a CAB league we will probably have to vote on what weight everyone wants to use but Id say Middle would be the most logical.

Houtz knows who you are Thorough. Be sure to add him, easy wins vs him.

Hey guys,

With me moving around the release of all this, I won't be having the game for at least a month after it's been released so just remove me or put me on the reserve list or something for this. Just wanted to give yall a heads up.

Later,

Michael

 

[BigBucs]

I was tellin Houtz to add you (thorough) to the league, you are a tomato can opponent. I never played Houtz in boxing.

 

[Hitman]

i dunno.. i'm sure we'll all make CAB's in a few different weight classes, but it may be better to start out with one weight class for CAB's and then have theme nights like bigbums was saying where we use pro's from certain weight classes.. there are pro boxers in this game to fit anybodies play style.. just a thought..

 

[TDAUG]

Hey Houtz...Count me in

 

[mfbmike]

TELL ME WHEN IT COMES OUT SO I CAN TAKE THE DAY OFF

 

[Hitman]

comes out on the 25th.. i'm still in

 

[BigBucs]

I will be off on the 25th as well. Court date FTW!

 

[mfbmike]

roffle, I haven't played fight night since the 1st on the original xbox son

 

[BigBucs]

Yo BB, we need to get together on AIM and come up with rules and shit for this league. Try and figure out what we're going to do and how we're going to do it.

I work this weekend but get off Sunday relatively early. Maybe I'll hop online then... or you could drop me a PM with your thoughts, ideas, etc.... You seem like a Fight Night vet. I haven't played a Fight Night since Round 3.

Rnd 3 was the last one. LOL. I think once the game drops this coming week we can have a better idea of how things should be set up. I want to see how the online side will work.

 

[Hitman]

been playing the piss out of the demo the past couple of days.. can't wait for this drop.. gonna get my rocky on.. :sheep:

 

[Hitman]

the retail game is supposed to be much improved from the demo as far as stamina drops etc.. should make for some interesting fights.. just hope they don't get all crazy about created fighters being similar to companies intellectual property, because Ricky Balbino is gonna own some fools..

 

[mfbmike]

My boxer is going to be named Slim Calhoun.
