"Legit authority"....as he lives in a gated community?

[@BigPersonaInWonderland]

its lowkey crazy because fight night isnt even a great boxing simulation but the gameplay is so good that it doesnt really matter

[@theblackhokage]

Yup. Long as the game is fun is all that mainly matters

[@dwilliams380]

“Simulation” is the death of sports games. Madden and 2K get worse the more realistic they attempt to be.

[@BigPersonaInWonderland]

@ I mean even as far as not being able to feint or do any sort of work in the clinch’s I would love to see a new iteration with those things added

[@t-bird4738]

I’m going to be honest I feel like this is unfair. You are indirectly comparing a game from generations ago to how you see simulations have changed and what they are defined by in the past decade or more.

[@TreyIM22]

Early on at some point,, as in pre-alpha, if I remember correctly, they dropped some footage of a boxer, or maybe two, movement and it was very promising but of course it devolved into PS2 era movement the more they added to the builds. Lol. I can't eff with this game. They better come correck (u read it) in 2026 or something.

Wow. I’m a core boxing fan and I’m impressed by your articulative summary of the sport.

[@theblackhokage]

Thank you. I grew up watching boxing 🙏🏾

[@BOXING_LOUNGE]

FNR3 never claimed to be a sim. The head movement is a thing of beauty and allows you to stay in the pocket. Undisputed head movement is broken AF... Wont let you stay in the pocket and duck, slip consistently. They expect you to constantly move, back peddle or just run... Thats not 'sim' in my book. 'Simcade' at best lol 16:13 That's my FNR3 1st person footage being used in the video 🍿🔥🍿🔥

[@howardbeatz]

Loving the long form content, especially with premium I can listen and work

[@timthompson2406]

Ready to rumble is the reason I had mom buy me a dreamcast

[@HomelessGurl]

Watching now, loving this new long form content from you 🙌 EDITED: I got a chance to try out the full game and it's definitely janky along with awkward & weird animations. Don't get me started on that OST. Straight doodoo I just used the PurrfectVibes playlist. 😂👌

[@theblackhokage]

At first I didn’t like the game. Now I just can’t stop playing 😂. Yes the movement is very clunky and punches don’t always connect when it should but it’s still really fun

[@Bigbean2999]

I hate the people that mention that FNC is the worst in the series to defend undisputed. Bro if people would rather go back to play the "worst" in the series than what does that say about undisputed

[@theblackhokage]

Ding ding ding!

[@rafaelemolis]

Well… undisputed isn’t good and fnc isn’t the best fn game. That’s just facts 😄 fnc was the best looking and most arcade-style game of the series, but round 2 and 3 were better simulations… and as the fight night series is marketed as a simulation, you need to pick the best simulation of the series ✌🏻

[@arthellstrobles1241]

Love the fact you put Ready to Rumble in the mix❤️💯❤️

[@zephyr350z]

I was waiting for your updated take on Undisputed cause I saw the videos prior after buying the deluxe busted edition

[@TheShadowhog759]

Love the beginning bit about the cultural impact of boxing. If anyone doesn’t know the story of Jack Johnson I highly recommend watching a video on him. His story was incredible with how many tried to hold him down and how he kept winning despite it all.

Anybody that says Champion is the best Fight Night didn’t really play fight night or boxing game. I had every fight night and all the knockout kings from 2000 and on. Real ones know Fight Night round 4 is the best boxing game of all time

[@ddavis8988]

Ive never played a great sports game. The most complete sports game I played was probably one of the MBA 2Ks probably 10 years ago. But every sports game across every genre always has glarong holes that devs refuse tk address for years.

[@Matthew_Broderick]

You're being overly harsh on this game without giving credit where it's due, especially regarding the footwork mechanics, which are genuinely impressive. This game is from indie-devs and improves with every patch. The issues you’ve mentioned are primarily related to online play, and let's be honest-games like EAFC or UFC also suffer from online bugs. This game has a lot of potential, and I’m confident it will improve significantly over the next year. What really bothers me is how some KZbinrs play something for just two hours, encounter one bug, and then dismiss the entire game as trash. I’ve already invested 120 hours into it, played many great matches and while it has its flaws, it’s far from the disaster you’re making it out to be.

[@duceking1249]

I just bought it. I was skeptical about paying full price for it but I got it for $44. It looks and fees good. I know it has its issues but it’s not terrible.

Boxing is huge. There's lot of people around who are old enough to be boxing fanatics (like previous generations) who are also just young enough to get into boxing games like the Fight Night series. You then get this demographic of people who hear about this new promising title and you got a remedy for success.

[@MaxiDuBois]

Great video per usual, but you missed a couple things They released an update mid November that fixed the infinite stamina if you spam power punches your fighter will be drained by round 2 They also removed some stun animations that was causing desync and allowing ghost punches to land. The game isn’t perfect no where near close but they made steps in the right direction that you overlooked while making this video

[@MrCantfindanynames]

Ready to Rumble was soooo much freakin FUN!

[@charleswhite7065]

Thank you for bringing this low budget game to light. I'm highly disappointed in this game. They should reimburse everybody their money back. This should be a free game. Fight night is 10 times better than this non boxing game. I wish we could put a lawsuit on this company for taking people's money on an unfinished product 🤔. Everything you've said about this unboxing game is the truth, thank you once again 👍.

Especially given how bad UFC 5 is

[@dguy8804395]

because they have this game to use as a "template" while also having access to a way bigger budget. They also were the company who made Fight Night and Knockout Kings, they can make a good game.

[@tinybitofchaos5278]

I just bought the game and am returning it. I'm 27-8 online but the fact that you have to use tall boxers because of the horrible hit detection is super annoying. If you're rocky and they pick this one super tall black guy in the division.... 90 percent of your punches won't land. I'm not even joking when i say you can be chest to chest and throw a body punch and it'll just miss because he's tall so the game like can't register it and it just misses. That's just body shots, its a billion times worse for head hits. I played with my friend and I had him stand infront of me and it took 2 swings on him while he was just standing still to land a hit because the first one just missed. The game has great bones but they don't have the skill to polish it. It just seems like the team they have isn't skilled enough to fix it.

Supposedly this is Canelo’s people who made Undisputed, hence why he’s so broken in the game. Anyways, this is their first attempt at a Boxing Game and I don’t feel they disappointed at all. They made a ton of money and rumor has it, they are already working on Undisputed 2. With a bigger bank roll, better experience and resources the future titles look very promising. The best thing about this game is it gave people finally a boxing game to play that everyone has been dying for. Even if this game is a place holder for Undisputed 2 it woke EA up to resurrect Fight Nights and there is no telling what’s we are in store for. Just be satisfied you have a very decent boxing game to play while bigger and better things are in work. You are overly critical about this game, the game is very good, yes it has some flaws but is being actively updated and fixed. This game itself will improve with updates and added features and you should just enjoy it and stop complaining about this company. They did a fantastic job on their first attempt and more is to come in the near future. Undisputed is extremely satisfying and fills that void. Undisputed 2 will no doubt be an upgrade and introduce more innovating features and revolutionary gameplay. Just chill….
