Kevo, you of all people (with your vast experience in the Sim) should recognise that Prizefighter meets the requirements of a target audience, this group being
Unranked and low ranked boxers.
Detroit recognised that...And partially fulfilled the need when he devised the
Million Dollar Tournament, to give a set amount of fighters a chance at glory.
The Sim is exciting when a Manager has a fighter as a World Champion or when his fighters are in the top 10, but it can be stagnate and boring when Managers' fighters are stuck near the bottom of the tree...
In that case, they are "
just going through the motions" as it were and maybe just hoping that somewhere down the line they might be offered a WBU title shot. And bearing that in mind, who can blame Managers for leaving?
Prizefighter will come around 3 times a season and offer the chance for 8 boxers to get their careers back on track. Someone will win 3 fights in a single week and could spark new life in the Champion, who will instantly be awarded a WBU title shot.
It's an exciting prospect. Fighters at the top of the tree don't need any help but the lower fighters far down need a boost sometimes, and this is right up their street.
There's no need to mock Prizefighter, there are no major world titles in play, but it is a new injection into the Sim and we will see what Week 10 brings.
