I wanted to play the entire story while I was there.
We have never had the pleasure of having a "GTA IV" style story in a sports game. I was so pumped to see this included in the game. Guys I am not joking, the parts we got to play were soooo damn cool. So to keep it all together they just created all the characters. Also had a Hollywood writer, write the story. So instead EA made the tough decision to bring in real actors (You guys will know some of them). It would throw the whole immersion out the window. Because it would be extremely out of place if the whole story was set in "the hood", you have a black momma, black brother, and then you have some user created white as paper nerd looking boxer. If they wanted to have a true "movie" like story they would have to have all the characters in that story to be EA made characters. EA already thought of this and was stuck having to make a decision. We asked and knew the community would have issues with not allowing CAF or your own boxer into the story. Yea.im confused.so is that a standalone mode? Or can my CAF do that as well? Andre and Gus aren't interested in working with McQueen and the story centers around the struggles Andre faces trying to reach his potential with a variety of obstacles thrown in his way." Andre has tremendous potential and DL McQueen, a promoter, is bent on controlling his career. Gus used to train their father, who was also a promising boxer at one time. He and his younger brother Raymond are trained by Gus Carisi. Hayes described the story for IGN: "Andre is an outstanding boxing talent. Following the career of up-and-comer Andre Bishop, Champion Mode offers something totally new for the Fight Night franchise – a character with a personality, a background, a family, and believable emotions. Unlike Legacy Mode, which has you create your own fighter from scratch and guide his career and development, Champion Mode is a scripted story.

There's now authentic amateur gear and scoring, which should help that first year of development fell less like the beginning of a Karate Kid movie and more like the real deal.
You'll notice the difference the moment you step into the ring as an amateur. "Legacy Mode is the only place you can go to create a boxer and fight your way through the division rankings, trying to become a champion, a Hall-of-Famer or potentially the Greatest Of All Time," he told IGN. "Hayes promises Legacy Mode is greatly improved.
