I think they realize that will drive even more sales for this already great game. That's very good news if true.

Patch update coming in December. Copied from EA Sports blog:

Game Play Updates
- Adjusted the locomotion speed at close proximity so that your opponent can no longer trap you with glued feet
- Increased the stamina cost when continually punching
- Increased stamina loss when continually weaving
- Increased stamina loss for users that spam upper body movement
- Can no longer perform a perfect block when spamming the block
- Increased the stamina cost when continually running away from your opponent
- No illegal blows can be thrown by either user when one user is in a stun state
- Increased stamina cost of Haymakers
- Tuned punch accuracy when opponents are moving their head
- Reduced locomotion speed when throwing punch combos

Create Player Updates
- Allow users to duplicate and edit ratings of licensed boxers

Online World Championship Updates
- Improved cheat detection logic

General Updates
- Various Bug fixes

These updates will be available for FREE. Also available for free are over a dozen new Create Boxer accessories including Boots, Trunks, and Gloves.

As mentioned in a previous blog, you can choose to purchase all of the DLC content at the bundled price OR you can choose to purchase each game mode and boxer separately.

The bundled price will save you some coin, but ultimately it's your choice what you purchase. Final prices are still being locked down so be on the lookout for more information coming soon.

We hope you enjoy the game play changes and the free gear. See you online!

Patch is out for both systems. I fought one fight, and maybe it was the time away from the game, but it was quite entertaining. The frame rate was very smooth, the visuals were stunning, and I used a couple fighters that I hadn't seen from the original release. Very happy I held on to this game as it's an every other year cycle. EA has done a fabulous job with the DLC.
