Single player could be worse and is generally more responsive than online, although from what I understand they borked career mode progression on the last patch. I imagine they'll fix it eventually but, something to keep in mind if you're thinking about getting it soon.
EDIT: Apparently that crashing in career mode is just for saves from before the patch so, sounds like you'd be fine.
I have around 50hrs logged so far and I still play VS against bots from time to time to get rid of the boxing itch. I have like 200hrs on UFC 2 from just playing against bots alone using only my hands, no grappling or kicks at all. Undisputed kinda just hit that spot for me cause i love punchin the ♥♥♥♥ outta bots, so there's my two cents
A lot of the negative reviews are right tho.. don't even bother with online it's completely broken
single player is kinda fun......there are some things which could be better, but overall boxing part of the game is good, character creator is good, depth of the campaign is mid (but it´s boxing game not Sims, so understandable)
devs should be spanked for adding Jake Paul into the game which brands itself as a serious game, but if you don´t care you should enjoy single player nontheless
It's just a text simulation. There were some bad actors who would flood forums and other platforms to down vote anyone who wanted training games, fully animated scenes with voice acting and other engagement strategies. They would say "Training games and cut scenes are the most boring parts of career mode, I just want to fight."
That's utter nonsense because that's not in any boxing games. NBA 2k has entire career modes that sadly are only online for the duration of the servers being up. However it is a FULL world with fully engaged bottom to the top rising with a TON of NBA players and personalities and reporters who video message you after wins, offer challenges and conferences along with training games that are fun.
It is the expectation for a game in 2024 to have a serious career mode if they are advertising a AAA price. This game is a AAA price with AAA DLC every two months but there is barely anything to grind in career mode. Money that you cant spend? High traits that barely matter at the end of the road to fight for the title with someone you fought ten times already? If anything it just gets tedious to just "click buttons" instead of "just fight." You have to progress your calander 4 weeks before you can even click your next fight which serves zero purpose. It's a mess.
So other than that 1/4 baked mode, there is just quick fight. It's really really not fun for a lot of people, and for the absolute ride or die types, it's a lot better than the last patch which I completely agree with. But it's not fun for most. It was arguably "pretty fun" in early access.
Then comes the decision of which platform to get it. I'm not only gonna say don't get the game. I totally get people wanting to just buy it and if it sucks then it's no big deal. Don't get it on the PC. The PC got completely abandoned by the studio who took all the early access money to just snub them in the end. There is one platform that's supported and it's gonna be the console version. However since Xbox series S/X barely have an active player base and is considered a failure system, get the PS5 version.
The graphics, backgrounds, options, all got nerfed when the game got chopped down to the console version. Essentially PC players can basically be thanked for helping the studio grow and get partnerships that cut the PC out of their view. No one has put a second into making the PC adjustments from the console and it's more and more evident in the patches since launch. The graphics are not only bad, they are all blurry downsampled versions of the likely FSR optimized versions for the AMD Zen 2 console processors. Not only are they blurry backgrounds, all the "noise" that is evident from upscaling from low resolutions is in the game despite there being no upscaling options. So the arenas all shimmer really brightly on fine line surfaces. It's very distracting once you see it.
The character models are OK but again there used to be so much potential in the PC version that they promised to improve and then actually made significantly worse from objective measures and features. Resolutions are all console regular TV based so no widescreen support. So go for the PS5 if you want to and get it on sale just for the base game. Or a deep sale for a deluxe edition. The fighters don't really have any nuance to them so getting DLC is mostly pointless.
Mate, if you are going to pay full price for this then stay well away until the reviews and comments on here get much better. The game is broken in so many ways, Career mode is good but is currently not working since the latest wreck of an update. Like you I have no interest in online and have never even attempted to try it.
Currently there are so many issues with the single player side, poor player boxer stamina, unable to fight with combinations because of the stamina and this latest wreck of an update has given your AI opponents super human strength and reactions so it is so heavily unbalanced it most certainly is not worth a full price purchase.
Wait until a steam sale and buy it for £5.00 it will be worth it then.
