Been a while since a decent boxing game came out, this looks interesting.

Been watching this for awhile now nice to have a release date

I've been playing this in Early Access on Steam. It is pretty rough....no speed...I don't know how else to describe it. Punches lack "oomph" too. Career mode is not very good either. No training exercises, you just pick what you want to do. Knock down/get up animations are poor, very poor. I do like seeing the mouth piece go flying sometimes, but unless there is a big update coming I can't see it doing that great even though it has virtually no competition.

Hmm, that doesn't sound promising.

The last good boxing game I remember is Fight Night Champion back on the Xbox 360. Guess we'll still be waiting.

God I hope this is good…I miss Fight Night so badly

Really? Thats sucks.

I havent followed the game. I jjst remember those early trailers from years ago where it was a big chubby white boxer (dont know his name) and it looked slick in those demos.

If that nausea inducing shaky camera is always on they can keep it.

And you're gonna be waiting for a long time.

Undisputed ain't it. It sucks.

I guess they secured 20 million from another publisher recently, probably going towards marketing for console release.

They did say the next big patch which I believe is 1.0 will focus on gameplay. We'll see...

I hate to say it, but a new EA Fight Night would be very welcome even with EA's bullshit.

Oh no. There goes my interest.

I don't get it, how hard can it be to make a great boxing game?

sigh, it's been a while since I played Fight Night Champion, might as well reinstall it.

The time from now to there is the big update. They've already shown off the new punch and hit animations in their latest roundtable a few days ago. They know the problems and are working on them.


Anyone put off by the impression.. the game is good and plays like a fight night minus the speed atm. But it's early access for a reason rn.

You are right, there are working on the known problems, but my sixth sense or spidey sense has been alerted to this game. I am always hopeful, but it would have to be a HUGE update to fix a majority of the issues.

The comparison to Fight Night is a pretty strong one, I can't agree with that even if speed wasn't an issue.

Hopefully they have been putting in STRONG work behind the scenes, and I hope this gives us boxing fans what we want, I just wouldn't want anyone going in overly optimistic yet.

To compare early access, I was in Baldur's Gate 3 early access and had no worries on the final product. Not so much this game.
But I HOPE I am wrong, I really do.

As a true boxing fan I won't be buying this unless Jake Paul is the cover athlete.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Keeping my eye on this one. Love boxing and I really miss Fight Night.

I really hope he is in there so after a rough day at work I can decompress by punching him and his stupid face repeatedly.
