The demo features four of the biggest names in boxing &#8211; past and present &#8211; and will be the first demo in EA SPORTS\u2122 history to include head-to-head online play*.<\/p>\n<p>In the <em>Fight Night Champion<\/em> demo, players can jump into the ring for three rounds of action at the famed Boardwalk Hall boxing venue with heavyweight legends, Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali, or three rounds of welterweight action with current boxing stars, Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. As the first EA SPORTS title with head-to-head online play included in the demo, players will also be able to take the four boxers online and showcase their skills to the world before the game is released.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fight Night Champion<\/em> introduces a host of gameplay improvements to the long running, critically acclaimed franchise. The refined punching system, dubbed \u201cFull Spectrum Punch Control\u201d, brings the most accessible and responsive controls ever to a <em>Fight Night<\/em> title. A new anaerobic stamina system tracks individual muscle groups separately, punishing a player\u2019s overdependence on a single punch and encourages combination punching and diligent stamina management. In addition, improved visuals, multiple control schemes, realistic damage, boxer-specific animations and multiple stun states round out the key gameplay improvements players will experience in the demo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fight Night Champion<\/em> will be available for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system and the PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system on March 3, 2011 in Australia and March 4, 2011 in New Zealand. The game has been rated MA 15+ by the OFLC and R16 in New Zealand, as it contains violence and offensive language.
