I spent hours on this game trying to give it a chance. Gave it a few days and just played it again. Visuals are decent. Movement sucks, controls are clunky. Mechanics suck. I can't throw a punch out of a block? Come on. Having to release the block button to return fire is silly. You can't weave out of a punch and return a body punch without using two fingers on the trigger and bumper buttons. Who plays like that? That's awkward and clunky. Punching sucks in general. I noticed the bad punching while it was in development and was hoping they'd fix that mechanic, they didn't. Online is trash for numerous reasons. I've been watching the development for years. That dude, Boxing Fanatico has been promoting this shit for about a year. There's no way he thinks this shit is a good boxer. He has to keep his job though, so fuck it. Fight night champion with all its faults is a much more fluid and intuitive boxing game even though it's arcadey and not an actual sim. Great job guys. At the very least I hope EA sees the hunger we have for a boxer and is motivated to deliver something worthwhile. Just please for the love of everything that is holy don't implement the same movement or punch mechanics from this game or the recent UFC games.
