W video , thank you for using your energy to make this. Peace and love bro and prayers for you getting 100%. Once again I love the video

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Preciate you yo and preciate what you doin wit the team! 🙏🏾

[@TheWokeSportsFan]

Coach I have been screaming for these mechanics to be fixed for months! In detail breakdowns with real life footage. Still no change man. If u csnt slip and punch, slip slip roll smoothly, punch in the context of where you are without returning to center, or pivot. How can we really say this is a Sim game. These are boxing 101 mechanics. Thank you for speaking on this man.

[@AntMcQueen558]

Agreed. That's one thing I loved about the weave system in Fight Night - range of motion and being able to stay in any particular slot for as long as you decided (and being able to punch from those slots).

[@JayMMA]

Praying you get better coach! Hope we can get more videos like this consistently in the future because this was A1🔥

[@TellEm_GAMEOVER]

Welcome back, agree with your points. I think we all want the best for the game. Praying for your health 💪🏾

[@jeremiahosoba366]

Man this video is needed, at this point im not sure if the devs are going to implement these things because it might be too difficult and they seem to want this game to be casual freindly Refreshing to have you back man, hope you get better honestly 🙌🏾 🙏🏽

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Can’t sacrifice real fun and competitiveness just to secure a simple barrier of entry. Casuals can stay casual, they will just be at the bottom of the leaderboards 😆✊🏽

[@jackmelia-hoare56]

So good to have the coach back!! I really hope you’re feeling better and hope your family are well. I totally agree with the point you’re making with the slip and punch at the same time, this would open up the game to a whole new level, not just offensively but defensively also.

[@mangusallen6208]

So far all your points are good. I hope they take your feedback to heart and put it in the game. I hope you get better and make a full recovery

[@nathanielowens385]

Prayers Up to you brother. Hope you getting better. Your opinion is important, but life and health is important.

[@MrMRmik]

Coach! Glad to have you back, man.

[@mazklassa9338]

This is an amazing, constructive video piece on the game. It's people like you who fuel the awesomeness and quality of fun products which we all want to love and get our bang for buck with!

[@TheCoachsCorner]

All I want is a full fledged fun but competitive experience that people can enjoy but learn at the same time. 🫡

[@bradleyson]

Preach! This is absolutely what is needed. Depth of options, interwoven offense/defense, punching during weave/off-center head position. A truly great player should be nearly un-hittable against a bad player. Too often we have 40%-50% landing % and it’s because defensive options aren’t there

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Absolutely brotha!

[@rogue-ish5713]

Wondering where you been at sir. Watching from the shadows. Like the boss in Evangelion with face in hand.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

😂🤣 I never left man but constantly observing ✊🏽

[@davidb-h6709]

Thanks for making this video. Very well done. What saddens me is, some of the improvements like punching while slipping, and level changing, I think were mentioned before, but the developers completely ignored the feedback. That’s why I am very worried when I heard they’re not going to be updating the game much more from now until release. There are so many gameplay improvements that must be made that are just so basic and fundamental. But it seems like they’ve already moved away from improving the punching mechanics and are focusing on other areas.

[@ironr.boxing6719]

Facts, they are focusing on the wrong areas. Look the Punches Animations, its Like they Never Touch it, its Look so Bad.

[@KingJuice]

Loved the video and im proof he noticed we couldn't slip and punch at the same time 5 minutes into playing, but I hope you get better man.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

I was immediately looking for setups and if I remember correctly I got my ass knocked out that first fight 😆

[@ricarldoharris6037]

Slipping while punching fang would be so go in the game

[@TheWokeSportsFan]

I for sure want a pivot. We have em in Bloody Knuckles and even UFC 5 has that major lounge / big shift that acts like a pivot.. It's very helpful getting out of danger and changing angles.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Yea I think if they can pull it off by all means. I was disappointed with the Loma release while not being able to take a 45 degree angle shift as he does in real life. Without that we didn’t truly have the essence of Loma. We ultimately got a free skin. The character looks cool but it ultimately didn’t change the way he played from anyone else mostly 🤷🏽‍♂️

Stay healthy bro! We need you my guy!! 🧠 🥊 💪🏽💯

[@Gman966]

If you put too much power on counters, people would just exploit that mechanic toward punches with large counter windows, the same way they do body uppercuts now. They would either spam the backstep straight, diagonal dodge hook, or sidestep directional punches. Some wouldn't even throw a punch until the opponent does.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

That’s where things like proper space manipulation and throw away shots will come into play and that’s only 2 strategies that can be done to counter those things. And both of those can be done in the current version of the game. The fact that we are even discussing this though only proves how more depth can branch out potential strategies in the gameplay 💪🏽

[@Rajon-stoolie]

W comeback 🔥🔥🔥

[@animealldaytv6703]

I agree with everything you said except for parrying there’s no realistic way to add that in a boxing game

[@gaminggranny53]

Stay mindful of your health. That is what is most important.🙏

[@pciermakaveli9280]

The king is back

[@Rajon-stoolie]

Ways to counter a jab 1. Slip outside then right hand 2. Slip inside then lead uppercut 3. Jab to the body while moving ur head to the right and bending down at the waist 4. Right hand over the top of the jab 5. Step back counter 6. Lean back then right hand

[@pciermakaveli9280]

What if He threws a straight or hook after that and bc there is no punch reaction ur counter wont be worth at all but even it would be to ur opponent advantage

[@Rajon-stoolie]

@@pciermakaveli9280 I mean any counter landed with perfect timing will affect anyone. Either it rocks them, drops them or disrupts their rhythm. For example Floyd didn’t hit hard at 147 and above but when he fought Canelo at 152lbs, the counters over canelo’s jab which disrupted his rhythm and movement made it so he couldn’t throw any “hooks or straights” back

[@pciermakaveli9280]

What's up, Coach??!!...Been a minute, I hope all is well 💯...do you feel we are getting some added boxers on this .7 update??...Rumors have it that someone was able to check the files and it had 4 added boxers...GGG, Beterbiev, Bivol and Joshua...I hope it's true! Those are some top dogs, lol

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Not real sure but I wouldn’t say it’s unlikely. The unfortunate problem is that fighter announcements will only go so far at this point. They have to truly feel different.

[@craigjoe8691]

Picked it up for $26 the last day the discount ran out. I hope the development and career mode meet expectations.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

So far so good. I will make a video today about my experience with it. I didn’t want to do a first day immediate impression because I didn’t want to make something while still in that honeymoon period.

thanks coach. its been very difficult dealing with it shes come along way. but still working towards recovery fighting againts a very large infarct.

[@TheWokeSportsFan]

COACH! THE GOAT 🐐

[@Patriothouse325]

To add to this, I would say a multi layer damage System would work well with all of these changes. So if my opponent reacts to my feint and I CATCH THEM This should add more damage to my shot, counter punches should be more devastating, vulnerability so when you lean or move straight into my punch that should be more devastating than a punch you get hit with while blocking

[@TheCoachsCorner]

It’s possible. Some of this is already there. Directional punching or maneuvering into a punch can garner a flash. Although it’s there it’s not consistent unfortunately 😅

[@jeffertonalive8536]

Welcome back. I've been checking on your channel

[@Gusto821]

I agree with you on everything

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Share the video! These things will undoubtedly fix the game in my mind. 🥊

[@mazklassa9338]

It would be cool if the game had two choice for gameplay style mechanics: One simulation mode; and one arcade mode. Simulation would allow you to have full range control over the body, arms and legs. While Arcade mode would be more AI and simplified, a bit like the way characters move in the old classic Mortal Kombat where it's super fast and you can move in and out of range quickly.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

The tech for something like that is out there. I’m not sure how they could do this while utilizing the current Unity engine they are on right now.

[@ironr.boxing6719]

First of all, Welcome back Coach & Great Video!!! You actually said everything whats wrong with this game. As a boxer, it's no fun to watch the game. There is no good Head Movement, dont let me start with the robotic punches Animations. This Game is far from a authentic boxing Game. I just want realistic punches Animations.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Me too man. A boxer naturally has an analytical mind. This game right now just doesn’t scratch that itch 😅

[@nathanielowens385]

They should hire you as a game tester. They need your insight.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

They always know where to find me 👊🏽

[@kojoajumane7096]

I have a question which build did you prefer the content creator build or now

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Even with the bugs we had. The content creator build was more balanced. Except the busted body damage😓

[@kojoajumane7096]

the answer to it the body uppercutt is the bladed stance and take off tracking @@TheCoachsCorner

[@kojoajumane7096]

do you have an email adress coach

[@raselllholt7790]

Do you think it's to late to add the shoe shine punch....? Shoe shine letting your hands go for the fighter that is known for their hand speed like Ray Leonard or Roy Jones jr... 🤔

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Na I don’t. They said in the Unity presentation a while back that adding new animations really wasn’t a difficult thing. I think they have the assets to do just about anything. I think they just need to take the proper time to do it.

[@mazklassa9338]

How can we ensure this critique of the game's development gets to the developers??!

[@TheCoachsCorner]

I have pretty good open lines of communication with the team and have sent these directly to them with additional critiques. They have always been pretty open about accepting any and all criticism. Now whether they implement any of this; that’s a different story that I don’t have any control over 😅

[@boxxrbain]

I think what all this proves is that it’s very hard to make a good boxing game and it’s probably why very few has attempted in.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

I can agree with that 100% that’s why I applaud just about any company for “genuinely” taking on the task of doing so.

[@boxxrbain]

@@TheCoachsCorner we all 100% behind them, it might be that we have to accept an 8/10 game, patches and then hopefully an incredible sequel down the line. Appreciate your commentary!

Block it with high guard slip it pull a job and counter over it. Use your legs to take steps away from it

@PlayUndisputed pay attention to this man very carefully

[@bzr1986]

the 50/50 shot is a huge problem in the game and interwoven defense offense is a huge problem as well. a parry would be amazing but that goes back into that interwoven talk..... the skill gap that we all want will happen in undisputed 2 lol. WE NEED FLAT FOOT !!! man i dont even want to type the R word. those smooth animations feel like 1 or 2 years of dev time my guestimation.

[@pciermakaveli9280]

Hope they listen

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

bro i’m still playing FNC i just need this game to be a little better than that and i’m good

[@untaint]

If EA announced a new fight night it's over for them staying silent is not helping them

Di facts

[@ricarldoharris6037]

Countering a jab .. none i beileve .. probably check hook

[@ocerco93]

the game needs Vulnerability, online server fixed ( desync, input lag) new animations (especially UPPERCUTS !!) they do these three things and they on the correct path. You cannot really counter the jab, u can circle to the right with someone who jabs a lot tho. God Bless you on you trials.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Yea these no doubt need some work before they release the game.

[@amadeoastillero4594]

Glad to see you back bro but respectfully I disagree because no one ever said the game was going to be completely perfect no game ever is and the fact is if we try to satisfy everyone then the game would never come out PC players like yourself jmma and King juice have all had the privilege of playing this game and while it might have flaws it still has features and things that Fight Night Never Had remember when we all thought that fight night was going to be the last thing that we would ever play in regards to a boxing game do you really want to go back to that time I don't think anyone does I'm just happy that it exists and that it's finally going to be released to consoles because of the fact that there hasn't been one for a long time as we all know besides how many games get updated and added to these days post lunch it's the culture of modern gaming and again satisfying everyone and every need in any game is impossible and another piece of my point of view is that is the pillars of the community like yourself and others heavily criticized the release of this game then that lessens the chance for a second one where we could see more substantial improvements toward the game that you would want to see so we need to support this in order to show that we appreciate the work that they have done over the past 4 years so did the game could even exist and then that will give them the resources and the motivation to build upon in already solid foundation respectfully that's my opinion

[@TheCoachsCorner]

I will reserve my comment to this after you get it on console. Hopefully by then some of the things I asked for here have been implemented. But I will leave a thumbs up on the comment simply because you watched the video🫡

[@ironr.boxing6719]

I get so mad when i think about the Things they can add Into this Game. It aint about Skills in this Game. this Game Looks so beautiful with the footworksystem but thats it. I dont get it, they mocap the footworksystem, Why they cant do it on Things like dogging or headmovement? Even the Punches Animations on ufc undisputed 3 Looks better & its a ps3 Game.

[@TheCoachsCorner]

Some things in the game look great. But it has to feel great also and unfortunately they haven’t nailed that part yet.

[@carlitocash]

This game is still a thing? They dropped the ball for real. Wishing you and your channel luck but for real I'm not fn with undisputed now. They legit said f console players 😂

[@MisterArdor]

100% we could be looking at a bug missed opportunity by Steel City and Undisputed here if they don't get it right. Balancing will come but they got to get the core boxing mechanics right that gives the opportunity for the great to seperate themselves from the good. Thought you laid it out real well and we just got to see where they take it because it's going to be jacked feeling while playing with Usyk as you highlighted like, "dang if I could throw while slipping like Usyk that sequence would be been different." We don't need that. They got Saudi money behind them. There's no excuse not to get it right. I think they won't to, but the question is can and will they? Good ish Coach 🫡
