Just as they did with the Stanley Cup and Super Bowl, EA has utilized one of their game engines to accurately predict the outcome of a sports match – This time around EA used Fight Night Round 4 to predict the winner of Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao, two boxers who duked it out this weekend.
The funny thing is they were right again, Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in the third round. Then again, EA said the game would last 11 rounds so they weren’t exactly spot on but close enough.
Expect Fight Night Round 4 to hit retailers on June 30th for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
