Fight Night DLC Knocked Out

EA Sports has been having a hell of a time getting things to work properly for Fight Night. In fact, the problems got so bad, that EA has completely removed the content pack from Xbox LIVE, saying it will be available once the DLC has been properly fixed. When asked about the Champions 2 Pack and the reason it was pulled, a community manager stated, “Our goal is to have Champions Pack 2 back up for users to download before the Christmas holidays.” For those of you who have already downloaded the content, you’re free to play it, but any items which are locked will remain that way until the new version is released on the Xbox LIVE marketplace.

If you’re interested, here is EA Sports’ full statement concerning the removal of the DLC:

“We regret to inform XBOX 360 users that due to the freezing issues that users have been experiencing when downloading Champions Pack 2, we have come to the tough decision to take the DLC down from XBL Marketplace, fix the issue, and look to prop up a corrected Champions Pack 2 in the near future. Unfortunately the fix requires a full pass of approvals by all parties involved and may take longer than a few days.

For users that have already downloaded the pack using the work around that was provided yesterday, you are fine to play with the new content. Though if there are locked items you have not yet purchased, you will not be able to unlock them until the updated version is released.

Again, we sincerely apologize to our users for having to endure the delay due to this unforeseen issue and our goal is to have Champions Pack 2 back up for users to download before the Christmas holidays.”
