Reach should matter more in the next game.

I don't use Struve often but Jones doesn't have the best boxing in real life. But in the game (and irl), you've got elbows (about 4 different kinds) and knees when up close, plus a **** ton of kick variations when in kicking range to keep guys away. Jones is one of the fighters the game lets you recreate almost completely, given his clinch/grappling game as well — you can mix things up seamlessly. The only thing I don't like is that his oblique kicks should be as fast as a jab and be used as a double jab (he throws them so fast) and do more damage. But I digress.

Reach and also footwork should be more exaggerated... it's far too easy to pressure someone like Wonderboy in this game and that isn't the case inrl. And before anyone says I'm not using him properly: I use minor lunges alot, the sidekick and stiff arm, major lunge when I'm close to the fence... it's still not enough.

Another funny thing and I dont know if the devs are aware of this but if you have good timing you can still catch the spinning body kicks lol

And on this note, jabs and straights should be more impactful. Right now, jabs pretty much exist only to set up combos, and are almost meaningless on their own.

Straights don’t do enough damage either. A power modifier would do wonders.

Not really. Reach is only an advantage when used correctly. Long reach shouldn't have all advantages and no disadvantages. The disadvantage in this game makes physical sense. A long arm has a longer pro/retraction period. The problem is footwork and magnetic striking making pressure OP

Are you asking for more of a hit reaction from jabs or more damage or both?

It matters, just not in boxing. Fight a decent Jones player and they’ll push and spinning body kick you forever thanks to blocks generally not effectively nullifying those types of kicks.
