Fight Night Champion

Two major gameplay changes are to stamina and Legacy training. Stamina is now tracked invisibly across the body, head, and both arms. Strain on any of these areas then affects the visible total stamina bar. If a player throws too many punches with the same hand, or takes too many hits to one area, their total stamina will drain faster.

Legacy Mode is almost entirely unchanged. Players still create a boxer and manage his fight career, and allocate earned experience points to discreet areas of growth. The biggest change in Legacy Mode is to training. Players can now spend money to train at renowned gyms around the world, which specialize in specific areas. Training costs stamina, and players must manage the weeks before their fight with appropriate periods of training and rest.

The game features 20 controllable fights in Andre's career, with many fights introducing temporary challenges that reflect the story. Opponents also have glaringly specific weaknesses or strengths, which must be avoided at all costs.

Little has changed online, and players can still challenge others from around the world for a belt in the Online World Championships. The primary addition is the inclusion of online "gyms," which are a team of players similar to a guild.
