Undisputed fans are definitely divided on what needs to be fixed or added to the game, and this divide often comes down to differences in expectations, playstyles, and personal priorities. Here's a structured breakdown of the main points of contention:
🔧 1. Gameplay Mechanics
⚖️ Sim vs. Arcade Debate
- Simulation fans want realistic physics, stamina, movement, and punch reactions.
- Casual/arcade fans prefer faster gameplay, more fluid combos, and easier controls.
- Division: Some argue Undisputed has leaned too far into arcade territory after earlier builds had better sim pacing (like the ESBC version).
🥊 Punch Mechanics
- Realism crowd wants:
- More unique punch animations (varied arcs, speed, and angle).
- Realistic wind-up and recovery times.
- Missed punches to impact stamina and balance.
- Others are fine with the current system or want more responsiveness over realism.
🧠 2. AI Behavior
🤖 CPU Realism vs. Challenge
- Sim-focused fans want AI that fights like real boxers, based on style, tendencies, and stamina management.
- Others want a tougher challenge, even if the AI behaves less like a real fighter.
🥇 3. Career Mode and Content
🧰 Depth vs. Access
- Hardcore players demand a deep, immersive career mode with:
- Full amateur to pro journey
- Trainers, contracts, stables, and rankings
- Era/weight division customization
- Others just want a quick path to fights or belts, and focus more on visuals and gear.
🧬 4. Boxer Representation
🔍 Authenticity vs. Roster Expansion
- Some want:
- Realistic tendencies, signature styles, and movement per fighter
- Different versions of the same boxer throughout their career
- Others prefer:
- A bigger, more diverse roster even if it lacks real depth per character
🧱 5. Core Features Missing or Flawed
✋ Clinch System
- Realism advocates say clinching is essential—tactical, strategic, and a part of real boxing.
- Others say it's annoying, kills pace, or is abused online.
🧍♂️ Footwork & Movement
- Many agree movement needs work, but disagree on how:
- Some want tight, grounded, realistic footwork.
- Others want looser, more responsive movement for online play.
🌐 6. Online Play vs. Offline Experience
🕹️ Balance Priorities
- Online players care more about balance, responsiveness, and netcode.
- Offline/simulation players prioritize realism, accurate AI, and immersion.
- Split: Patches often favor one over the other, frustrating half the fanbase.
🎮 7. Control Customization and Accessibility
- Some want total control over realism settings, toggles for clinch, stamina drain, etc.
- Others prefer default balance and fear too many options will fracture the community.
💥 Summary: Core Divide
| Group | Wants Most |
|---|---|
| Sim/Hardcore Fans | Realism, boxer tendencies, deep career, true physics |
| Casual/Online Fans | Fast pace, balance, responsiveness, quick fun |
| Creative/Franchise Fans | Creation suite, story mode, boxer customization |
💡 Final Thought
Undisputed’s community is passionate, but fractured. Many believe that if the devs create more customizable realism sliders and modes, it could satisfy both worlds: realism for sim fans, speed for arcade players, and variety for creative gamers.
