Pre-ordered the deluxe already, been a boxing fan since the 1976 Summer Olympic Games watching Sugar Ray Leonard compete, so glad to have a new boxing game since what like 13 years. Can't wait till Oct 8th, only problem is I'll be working that day from 8am to 8pm, that is going to be a long slow like molasses darn day at work

Right there with ya!! Highly anticipating the final release. Already have the early access so I may only have to pay a bit extra to convert it into the deluxe version (not sure how early access titles work after the a game officially releases). I'll probably end up pre purchasing an additional version on console as well. I'm telling ya'll right now (I know folks lurking lol), I'm about to terrorize online, so tread lightly!!!

I'm on xsx and with over 400 bouts online in early access I'll probably have an easier time early on than most - but also planning to do career and fights vs AI As well as I'm not a 'hardcore' online gamer usually. This one can be thrilling when you fight guys who aren't cheesing or exploiting.

Absolutely, same here. Haven't deep dived into online competitive since Fight Night champion. I say deep dived because I HAVE been online with undisputed early access here and there but nothing dedicated like back with FNC. This is about to be different, as I see myself totally immersed in online competition, I can feel it! Early access gave me just enough of the overall feel of the game to know that I'll enjoy the fully updated release competitively. The physics of the footwork will make for some great fights with people who approach the game with a simulation perspective.

I'm a heavy career mode guy as well, so I hope the A.I. is varied like they've said it will be. It appears that it is (somewhat) from playing the early access version and I'm under the impression that it should be refined by now. Haven't seen a career mode this deep since Hajime no Ippo, and I've had a great time with it in early access. It has the depth, i.e. infinitely generated A.I. opponents, management, venues (definitely could use more), and multiple belts, but is missing the "icing on the cake", like fully fleshed out ring walks, belt presentation, and a few more things, but the "meat" is certainly there.

Time feels like its sitting still right now, I'm ready to go. Just pre ordered on series x a few minutes ago.

I've always been mostly an offline gamer, I'm looking forward to career mode, I just hope they up the difficulty of the AI, or at least have sliders to adjust it, cause I've seen YouTubers breezing through career on hardest difficulty. They also need to generate younger boxers at the top as time goes by, cause usually by the time you get to the top, the fighters are old, and their stats depleted making them really easy to beat, & when you win titles, you're defending that title against the same people over and over again.

I may venture into online and give it ago, I've never been one to play online against others, but I may try it for a while in this game. This game has very good potential, and overtime with updates, could be amazing.

Yes, the days are going by so slow, Oct 8th seems like neon's away, I just want to get going with my career mode and play already lol.

Yea, I noticed the older fighters staying in rotation after I climbed the ranks as well. However, I scrolled down and there appeared to be a ton of new fighters coming into the ranks as the weeks went by, and I could've sworn I did see a new face or two coming to challenge me. That tells me that the "world" is dynamic.

As far as getting matches against the new guys, I think that it may happen (what I was saying above) if you can last long enough, either that, or maybe the devs can tweak the algorithm to raise the percentages/chances of younger guys coming into your sphere before you're too worn out.

With that issue being pointed out, to offer a solution for it, I would propose that the devs allow us to watch random matches as well as take control of any boxer you want within the rankings. This will keep the game fresh after your created boxer gets too old and also allow you to manipulate the rankings, possibly allowing you to bring an up and comer into your original boxers sphere yourself. On top of that, I think it would just be super fun to jump into random matches to test out the different looks and styles that are populated throughout the rankings, as it truly is a "sandbox" from what I've experienced with early access.

I'm just spitballin' now.

Oh that's good to know, cause career mode is something I really want to immerse into, I'll probably wind up doing male & female careers and start over again in different weight classes, after each retires.

I do believe that this game really does have some great potential. The CEO Ash Habib from what I seen from vids of him talking about the game is, he is a true die-hard boxing fan, and a true fan of boxing gaming in general, he talked about all the past boxing games he has played over the years, this game can really get good as time goes by, I'm really looking forward to it since I'm a huge boxing fan, especially of the old-school kind.

I feel the same way - I think they just needed to gear up and release it to avoid "development hell" and that's why it will ship with missing items, but at that point a bunch of pressure is off and they can support the game to the extent they want to and have communicated they will.
The comment about younger fighters is right - the old 'names' would just hang around the top 5 and get worse and worse making the career miss the mark - those guys would be past their primes when your created guy finally challenges. I think those things they are well aware of and that should be fixed at launch.
There are other things we know won't be there for launch and the biggest and most disappointing to me is clinching. They said it was removed because it wasn't to the quality standard they are comfortable with - and I agree, I hope they can make it at least somewhat dynamic - but it's still weird to have zero clinching initially.
Other things like no ref in the ring (initially) don't bother me as much but for others that's a borderline deal-breaker. I get it, but it's just not a big deal for me (although I'll be glad when it does come).
I got the WBC edition and it's a nice crop of fighters I'll use 4 out of 6 on the regular. Jaime Munguia, Regis Prograis, Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez, Dmitry Bivol, Caleb Plant and Julio Cesar Chavez - Regis I'll just fight against him and Bam for me I seldom fight in that weight class - it's just too small for me. But DAMN - BIVOL, MUNGIA, PLANT, CHAVEZ! that will be nice on top of the default roster.

Yeah That would be awesome if that is fixed on the career, I agree about clinching, no ref don't bother me either, sure it would be cool to see, but I can do without, clinching is a big part of boxing especially when stunned and hurt, that's when clinching would come in handy, or to catch a breather when tired.

Julio Cesar Chavez was one of many of my favorite fighters, I'll most defiantly be using him, so glad to see he's in the game, I also heard from a YouTuber close to the devs I think his name is Jay MMA saying that they will be adding like 6 new fighters every 6 weeks, I don't know how long The'll do that, but that would be a great game changer right there.

Ok, maybe I was hallucinating the first time when I "observed" younger boxers populating in the low ranks lol. I annotated all of the boxers from rank 45 and down to the bottom. I'm currently about 25 total fights into a new career and the boxer at the bottom of the rankings has stayed the same through the entirety of my journey so far, has like 80 total fights and old as shhh lol, she's been rotating from the bottom of the ranks up into the mid 40s and back down since I started this new career.

I'll continue to monitor for the entirety of this career. There seems to be a fresh boxer that appeared at the top of the ranks and unified all of the belts but she could've been somewhere in the ranks from the start and I didn't pay attention. I can say for a fact that this particular boxer did not start in the lower ranks with me however.

Not having clinching is bad, but after all of the delays, it's the same animations, if a fighter gets knocked down in a corner, then count it from there & whats the bs if ppl are knocked down or out , but aren't losing stamina? i wouldn't mind a ref & when a fighter gets up walks to the referee & then he waves it off or he jumps in when a fighter is taking too much punishment. It has potential & I've won the undisputed title.
