Officially putting down the game until the next on releases or there is a big update..

To preface I am 6'3, about 165 lbs, not in real life boxing experience but VERY knowledgeable about the art of boxing and combat sports in general.
This game simply does not favor actual boxing (like a boxing simulator), which I can understand if they are going for more of an arcade game. But it seems almost TOO arcadey.
Also before I continue I realize it is an early access, I simply stating my personal experience with the game in homes that it will be insightful feedback.
I tested out what parts of the body do the most damage when you hit it. And thats the chin, and the solar plexus (right under the middle of the ribs). And you actually do more damage when you punch THROUGH your opponent rather than throwing hard and fast. Atleast thats what I tought.

But once you get to get into a game, specifically ranked it just seems to be a hook spam fest. I can kind of keep my distance, jab, but once someone decides to put their head down and start throwing wild, Im getting flashed every second. EVEN when I try to upper cut when they are going to y body, useless.
Straights feel very ineffective and the damage system is EXTREMELY inconsistent.
I really dont see a point in their being a ranked mode. What does being top ranked mean? That you know how to spam hooks the best? Ranked just shouldn't be in the game.
So for some suggestions I hope the devs can start to look at actual boxing and try to start judging by punches landed, account blocks, missed punches, maybe add a counter mechanic? Just completely overhaul the judging system.
It can be fun ofcourse but once we have gotten to the point where it can be a REAL boxing simulator, that will be truly exciting. I feel like it will be a few more vr generations ahead of us, with added full body tracking. That will really make the game seem real and immersive.
So yeah the devs better keep at it if they want to be the best vr boxing game because a if another company did a few different things it could be a land slide. Good luck .
TL:DR : Ranked shouldnt exist. The game doesnt cater to real boxing fans who are looking for a simulator. Judging and damage system needs and overhaul. Alot of changes need to be made for this to be a solid game. Very inconsistent atm.
