Fight Night Round 4 says Pacquiao stops Hatton

ESPN.com has a neat article up with a simulation of Saturday night's Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao fight, courtesy EA Sports' upcoming Fight Night Round 4 video game.
The simulation has Pacquiao stopping Hatton in the 11th round. Hatton dropped Pacquiao in round six, though.
"The later rounds saw the revival of the quick moving Pacquiao, who outpaced and out boxed Hatton yet again. Lightning fast left jabs wreaked havoc on Hatton through Rounds 7, 8 and 9 before a commanding right hand brought him to the mat in Round 10. Badly hurt and looking sluggish, Hatton was unable to beat the count after falling to another deadly right hook from Pacquiao in Round 11."
It's all good fun, and I love the Fight Night series but unless a LOT changed it's hardly where I'd go for any serious simulating. Most notable for me was this screenshot:

Pacquiao looks like Gollum. Ricky Hatton was screen captured between fights judging by that melon.

i’m really hating the player models for this game. i’m sure the gameplay itself will dominate, but the boxers look so fucking horrid

Yeah I’m not crazy about it. It’s this bizarre mix of too realistic and too cartoon-y.

There’s a problem in the ribcage/chest area of the fighters that makes the bodies look off, I think. Faces are also a problem for a lot of fighters. Manny’s looks almost as bad here as on the bobble head doll.

thats actually my main beef. the whole chest area looks terrible especially when the arms are too skinny. round 3 crushed all souls, but this one is looking like a dud

If the gameplay is good and the action has less haymakers, I’ll get used to the models I think.

they got rid of haymakers for this game in order to tie in with the whole “physics” engine that they got going. the power of the punches are now entirely based on how clean they land and where they land i think

What the fuck is Mora doing on a game?

they probably started making his model when he beat forrest, and couldn’t delete him from the game after he lost the rematch

What the fuck was Vicente Escobedo doing in FNR3
Or Jesus Chavez for that matter. They need to get a lot of real fighters, sometimes they go with the ones whose licenses are cheapest, not the ones who are the best.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

The more video games try to look realistic, the less realistic they look (and play).

It looks like Gollum is beating the crap out of Ralphie from “A Christmas Story.”
You’ll shoot your eye out kid!
