In a developer call earlier today, Matthew Seymour, Executive Producer of Don King Presents Prizefighter took a little rip at EA Sports and their upcoming arcade-style boxing game, FaceBreaker. When asked about his feelings on the competition, Seymour had this to say:
FaceBreaker isn’t a boxing game.
Yeah, I can’t imagine EA will take this one lightly. Seymour says FaceBreaker is more of a Street Fighter type of game hybrid and that 2K takes the integrity of the sport seriously.
We’re trying to get in touch with EA for a response, but haven’t heard anything back yet. We’ll keep you posted. Check out our full coverage of the conference call later today.

The sad part about this though,is the 2K Exec is kind of right;I mean,if you can drop kick a Boxing opponent then uhh,well,let’s just say that’s not Boxing lol
Promote that man, AMtthew Seymore said what we are all thinking. When I saw the video of the female character dropkick someone, I was done. That is beyond ridiculous, why not just pull out a knif at that point? The game looks too fast and reminds me more of Killer Instinct, shiet Punch out is more a simulation title than Facebreaker.
This game would probably best fit in an arcade imo. I still think it’s worth looking at even though its not a serious game.
