Tactics

This game is easy whether you play legit or cheat. But I prefer to write about the cheating method as it is slightly quicker, plus you do not need to learn how to fight properly.

There are only eight achievements and each corresponds to a specific fight. Win the fight and the achievement is yours. So to grab all the achievements, you just need to know how to win.

Head into Career Mode and then Options. Set it to Easy and importantly TURN OFF illegal blows. This is your cheat. Change your controller configuration so that illegal blows is the “B” button. This is not necessary, but I found it easier doing this.

If you want to finish fast, forget the training. Just press Auto-train. It will make little difference to this cheat method anyway.

THE CHEAT

Now as you enter the ring IMMEDIATELY button bash illegal blows into your opponent, until his health is down, then finish him off with a Haymaker (A or RB). Done. Next fight. 

I completed my entire career with this cheap sleazy tactic. The commentator even mentions that I will ruin my career if I continue with my illegal blows. But do I care? No.

The only illegal blow available when you first fight is the Head Butt. But after winning a few fights, you can purchase the Elbow Jab and Knee Strike in The Fight Store. Do. All of these are very effective. You will also note that even if your Stamina and Health is almost zero, you can still throw illegal blows. 

Occasionally you will encounter one of those annoying fighters that lean back. Don’t worry, just continue with the illegal blows and forget about the Haymaker. The knee strike is the best with these fighters. Bash him with illegal blows until he is down for the count.
