Horrible game mechanics

[jerzeythaking]

I've been playing this game for 2 days now and I can honestly say they screwed up badly. In career mode how does your opponent throw so many power shots but still have so much stamina by the end of every fight. I've also noticed that you player goes to move out of the way of a punch and can't move backwards or side to side at all. You are literally stuck and have to take a shot or 2 just to be able to move. I've blocked the power hooks they constantly throw but still get hit through the block even with my block regenerated. Also it takes so much just to build your fighter attributes up just for you to still be garbage ASF. This makes no sense and they screwed the pooch severely. Also how do you make it to where we can't change the difficulty once you start the game? There literally is nowhere in the settings to change the difficulty it's like you have to delete your profile and start over just to change it. On top of that what's up with the whiffed punches and the fact that all your opponents in career mode run all fight long and you have to use so much stamina just to do damage. Plus the opponent always seems to know what part ncu your gonna throw but they are so fast and powerful that you can barely block their punches or survive an onslaught of punches from them. They really need to do some work on the game mechanics and animations. Horrible way to bring back a boxing game after all these years. Get it together.

The AI read your input like old school fighting games so "the seems to know" part is a feature.

And you cannot change difficulty after you start a career mode, which is stupid as heck but it is what it is.

Yep, sadly your 2 day experience is exactly the same as my 200-odd hours, the online meta is super stale and the offline play and career mode is simply atrocious. And the scoring has been horrendous since launch and they've never been able to fix it. I've honestly given up on this game completely, the same problems have been there for months and months. On early access launch we were getting multiple updates a week at times, now they're about as frequent as a Crawford fight.
