Fight Night 2004 is EA Sports' new boxing series, replacing the previous Knockout Kings line of games.
You have the option of creating your own personalized boxer, and entering a career mode, where you start off on the lowest rung in dirty, rundown gyms, as you make your way up the ropes to become the undisputed champion. Throughout your career you will have to battle many enemies, all vying for the same title. As you play, you will be able to train, improving your boxer's stats. You can hit a punching bag to increase power and speed, spar with an opponent for more stamina and agility, attack the dummy to improve chin and body, or hit the mitts to improve heart and cut. Besides career mode, you have access to the standard modes.
Fight Night 2004 features the "Total Control" system, which utilizes both sticks to give you complete precision over your boxer's moves. The right analog stick controls all the punching, and the left stick controls movement and defense/blocks.
There are several unlockables available, all of which must be earned through career mode. You can buy new clothes, entrance music, even new girls to accompany you to the ring.
As with all other EA Sports titles, Fight Night 2004 utilizes the EA Sports Bio, which tracks your progress through all EA Sports games. The more games you play, the longer you play them, and the better you do translates into a higher Gamer Level. When you reach certain levels, you can unlock special rewards.

Tips & Maps
Health Meter
This displays the damage your fighter can take before he'll be knocked down.
Energy Meter
The Energy Meter shows how much energy you have left. Low energy leads to weak punches.
Knockdown Recovery
To pick yourself up from a knockdown, clear your vision by aligning the referee images into one clear image using the left and right analog sticks.
End of Fight
If the fight goes the distance without a knockout, judges tally scores and the winner is announced, followed by the Punch Stats screen.
Penalties/Stoppages
Low blows and other cheap shots result in a warning, then point deductions for subsequent infractions, and eventually disqualification for too many penalties.
Counter Punching
Counter punch your opponent after blocking or avoiding his punches, as it is often the most effective punch.
Punch Wisely
Throw your punches wisely; a non-stop barrage drains energy and makes you less powerful.
Regain Energy and Health
If you are losing when exchanging punches, back off to regain energy and health before re-engaging.
Mix Up Punches
Mix up your punches by alternating between head and body shots and left- and right-handed punches to land more of them.
Head and Body Punches
Punches to the head do more immediate damage, but body punches tire your opponent out and slow him down in the long run; use both to be successful.
Corner Opponent for Knockdown
Try to corner your opponent for a knockdown, then pummel him as he falls to the mat to make it tough for him to get up.
Parry and Counterpunch
Press and hold the R1 button and move the right analog stick to parry incoming punches and create opportunities to counterpunch.
Keep Guard Up
Keep your guard up and protect yourself at all times, as the best offense is a good defense.
Use Footwork
Use your footwork to avoid punches and to set up your own chances to score, as a moving target is the hardest to hit.
Tire Out Opponent
Blocking and avoiding your opponent's punches will tire him out and make him more vulnerable; leaning and making him miss will also tire him out.
Game Paused Menu
Press the START button during gameplay to access the Game Paused menu, where you can change options, review punch stats, watch replays, or throw in the towel.
Online Play
To play online, select or create a Network Configuration File and then create a new EA Account or use an existing one.

Manage your career by choosing and scheduling fights. Depending on your win-loss record and ranking, you can choose from a variety of opponents.
Pick your opponent wisely by checking out potential match-ups because who you fight affects your chance to win a title.
