although my load times were big (2min+) I didn't experience that.

My Middleweight CAF is 16-3-1 w/ 11 knockouts, currently ranked between 27-14 between all the governing bodies. I decided to play on 'pro' difficulty which is a nice balance between how hard it is vs cheap corner cutting buffs by the cpu

That said, I'm REALLY liking career because the boxing is much more deliberate and you get dropped really easily if you're not careful. I love all the out of ring stuff and love that it's not mini-games because they become stale really quickly.

I'm also sick right now lol, so my career is a TONNE of time invested already. So it's a good balance - I'm now firmly in the mid 70s skill wise and usually look to fight guys a few ticks up. It's cool to 'cheat the system' and fight a bum in the low 70s that's ranked much higher than say a kell brooke or something like that. I've also avenged all my loses and even had a rubber match with 2 of them.

My punch output numbers as well as the CPU are actually very surprisingly close to real life numbers. One 10 round fight I had 140 landed out of 390 thrown, similar to CPU. this is VERY different from the game for me up until now.

so overall it's a big time win to get my hands on this - they did a great job so far with more to come.

I tried making a Kessler CAF as a side note and although the sliders are robust - I don't find it easy. He looks 'OK' but its very difficult and time consuming.

Cheers!
