Fight Night Champion is a boxing video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fifth and last entry in the Fight Night series and was released in March 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game takes a drastic turn from its predecessors, depicting a "grittier", "darker" setting with animations and player damage that "truly conveys the brutality of the sport of boxing." The violence and strong language in the game's story mode earned it a Mature rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the first EA Sports title to do so.

Known Issues

This title should be played with Asynchronous Texture Streaming due to a shader based issue which renders the game unplayable. With this setting enabled the game can be played to some extent. If this still doesn't fix the issue, setting the Resolution Scale to 1080p should result in a better experience.

Special Notes

This game had weird a FPS timing on the PS3, in order to emulate the FPS timing correctly the clock scale needs to be adjusted as described in the config section above. Keep in mind that while this fixes the timing, a side effect as a result of it is it messes with the duration of a fight and shortens it by 10-15 seconds.
