Decide Your Legacy
Round 4's Fight Now mode is where you'll find standalone one-on-one bouts between any two fighters of your choice, whether it's legends like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson or more contemporary brawlers like Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Alternately, you can create your own character using the robust editor (which includes the ability to use a real-life image for the face) or even download someone else's created fighter.
Most of your offline time will probably be spent in the new Legacy mode, which replaces Round 3's rudimentary career offering. You start in an amateur tournament and work your way up through the ranks. What gives the mode real weight is a sense of existing in a persistent world -- as the years add up, other fighters retire, you'll win awards, and you have a fair amount of say in how your career build and ultimately ends. It would've been nice to see some out-of-the-ring activities or more interesting interactions with the other fighters or promoters, though.
