This game was my absolute jam in college. I still have my original copy ❤ Totally ahead of the curve in terms of physics and representing boxing beyond a fighting game with no kicks

[@EvanHelblingYT]

The physical game is pretty rare that’s awesome. I grew up playing the first one but I love how they both play, way ahead of the curve 🤘

[@toututu2993]

Boxing game in vr is ahead of any flatscreen

[@casmak141]

Thrill of the fight, with multiplayer ,,ability to record and edit highlights and ready player me avatars.snd done coaching mode for footwork drills and health tips if they start that as a basr line they can charge triple aaa price imo. One thing is like is sit down and controller thumbstick movement mode. (Creed update has this)For lazy session and average gamers and less mobile. They could have separate belt/league. For aaani have creed,I even have the fight and if they bother to up date golden gloves. Very few boxing games over the decades I've not owned. Not bothered with undisputed yet. Mainly due to VR making it hard to go back.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou my fellow man of culture

[@mikehunt9884]

even if its based on an anime, it had some realistic things, its probably the only boxing game franchise where you could take advantage of your positioning, footwork, etc.. you could hit a guy and push him in a corner and beat up on them from upclose, or keep your distance and pick them appart if you're an outside boxer. Also, you literally had to "reset" when the other guy moved out of angle, which is SO FREAKING REALISTIC.. a boxing game that uses angles and footwork.. hasnt been done since. Even in those fight night games you don't really use your movement that much, usually your feet are planted and you avoid punches by moving your upper body with the analog stick..

[@sallgoodman2323]

This is exactly why I love playing this series. Boxing's all about the angles and setting up before your opponent. The counters work for the various punches too, using straight shots for a guys who uses hooks a lot. Body shots actually slow the opponent down, or they visibly tire near the end of the round.

[@bioy2646]

But man the outboxers are actually fuckin broken in this game tho, if you trap em in the corner they start tryharding like a sweat spammer and dodge every punch and run away. Its more of a dont take multiple hits and get countered than trying to trap em. I dont mind the infighters or boxer types tho atleast they slug it sometimes
