Fight Night Round 4 Legacy Walkthrough

After completing the amateur tournament, you're shoved straight into the pros. The first screen you see is Legacy Central which gives a quick overview of your career progress and the opportunity to schedule an upcoming fight on the calendar.

From the calendar view you can see anything you have scheduled—like recovery time—plus the days on which you can potentially schedule a fight. The day you select from this calendar view isn't terribly important—just choose to "schedule next fight" and you'll next be presented with a list of possible opponents.

Opponents higher on the list are ranked higher—defeating them will boost you in the rankings more quickly, but the fights are harder. You can ascend the ranks more gradually by fighting the opponents just above you in the rankings, which will make for easier fights and let you more consistently climb the ranks. Always choose to compare fighters to see the rating of a potential opponent. If his rating is significantly higher than yours, you're going to have a real tough time winning the fight.

When you pick a fighter, you're given a list of potential fight dates. To the right of the fight dates is information to tell you how many training sessions you'll be allowed if you choose the highlighted date. Generally, you'll only be allowed one training session between fights, though if you pick a fight date that's far out enough you can sometimes work in two training sessions. If one of the given dates allows for two training sessions, we suggest taking it.

With the fight booked, you're booted back to the calendar view where you can see your upcoming training and upcoming fight on the calendar. Choose to take part in the training and you can pick your training routine, which gives stat bonuses to different aspects of your fighter, depending on the routine. After the training session, you go back to the calendar from which you can trigger the fight.

After a fight, you're booted back to the fight calendar which will no doubt now be covered in blue. The blue days represent your recovery period during which you can't do anything except wait. Use the shoulder triggers to scroll to the next month and find the next free day to plan your next fight.

Start building a winning record and you'll rise in your Legacy Mode Rating. Provided you won the amateur tournament, you'll start as a "Prospect" and all of your fights will be brief, six-round affairs. Get a nice winning record and you'll be promoted to "Club Fighter," a promotion which brings with it ten-round fights. Fights can get even longer as you rank up further, so don't neglect upgrading your fighter's stamina. It'll really matter if a fight goes twelve rounds.
