With any Simulation be it War Games, Football, Soccer or Boxing you have to strike a balance between realism and game play.

I hear people on here shouting for more and more realism for example in the fore coming Boxing Role-play Game.

OK lets have realism, that means the year is now 2003.
So only the current fighters should be included, and fighters like Roy Jones Jr and Lewis will only be able to have a few more fights then there out of the game. ( There quite old even now ) The chance of you finding a decent young boxer to manage and even win an area Championship, let alone a World Title Fight are very slim, to say the least. BUT THIS IS REALISM.

No Ali, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, etc., etc. this is REALISM. unless you start back in there day.

Being a football manager or boxing manager is not fun its mostly hard work and at times very boring and very stressful, the exciting part of any sport is very small compared to the boring parts. That's why you have to strike a balance in any Simulation. I am sure Jim Trunza knows this.

The most famous football game (soccer as you in USA call it) is
Champion Manager 3 it tries to add more realism with each new release.

The truth is many people i know are now saying they prefer the early versions, because they was more playable and enjoyable. Because like i said the more realism you put into a game it becomes hard work and less fun playing it. But again this is Realism its not fun its bloody hard work being a soccer manager or football coach.

Another thought, the new Boxing Simulation or Role Play game when they come out might be in fact a little more expensive then say the football games or baseball games that 400s produce. Before anyone objects some thoughts of mine.

Boxing today is not regarded as a major sport and the market for the game is in fact going to be much smaller then say for a football or baseball game.
The problem 400s has is both games may require the same amount of time and money spent producing them, therefore to at least break even, or make it worth there while, the Boxing Games might have to be as i said a little dearer. I am sure the real boxing fans on here will understand where i am coming from.

NO I DONT WORK FOR 400S LOL.
