Hi All,
Was randomly browsing YouTube and came across a new game called ESPORTS BOXING CLUB. Never heard of it before and cannot see any posts about it here so thought to post the pre-alpha footage video which has already gotten 316,198 views in 4 days and has a very impressive dislike to like ratio, anyhow judge for yourself:

Looks fc.kin amazing, so fluid/unique and for pre-alpha its looks like a game in which combat sports fans deserve. Not saying EA did not try, but firstly we all know MMA as a game is very hard to capture exactly on the head and also some of the decisions at the top level have been horrendeous to say the least throughout all 4 iterations.
Seems like its coming to steam for early access in the coming months and then they are planning for PS4/PS5/XBOX console releases later down the line. Look at their website for more on the FAQ's https://www.esportsboxingclub.com/esbc-game-faq/ and what gets me super exicited is things like this:
Dont know exactly which is the team developing this but seems like a less known development team and not a well known face unlike EA. Incredible that teams like that can showcase things like this while it takes EA 4 iterations to even attempt to properly address the knockout/physics issues from the standpoint of how a certain mr creative director kept denying it.
Might be the kick up the *** that EA higher ups need if this game sells well and delivers on what is seen in Alpha and more. Only drawback i can see right now is that they only have 65 licenced boxers and probably wont be able to use Joshua or Fury due to EA probably owning exclusive rights for a set period of time. Anyhow to me personally i could not care less if it stayed at 65 licenced boxers, looks incredible and gameplay comes first. However please note, for those concerned about the small inital roster they have said it will increase every season which is a big positive.
Sorry if this has been posted before but wanted to let everyone know and give my thoughts in comparsion to EA UFC 4 as i personally really want a good combat sports sim (yes Sim and no EA UFC 4 is not a Sim !) and never going near EA UFC again until they address the issues for the next release which im not hopeful for either.
Thanks

"however we are balancing the community’s desire for a boxing game with making sure that we deliver the best possible experience."
Will there be blood and realstic damage - Yes, this will play a big role within ESBC. Your career mode fighter will have to be managed with the quality of your corner team for this aspect.
Will there be realstic knockouts - Yes, knockouts will feel realistic, we are developing this to a level that feels……satisfying!

Clothing also looks great, with different texture types apparently like in the WWE games.
