**Stop Wasting Time — Undisputed Deserves Better**

Let’s Get Real.

Ash,

What’s happening with Undisputed is beyond frustrating—it's disgraceful. You’ve had the time. You’ve had the resources. You’ve had the community. Yet the game continues to stumble, stall, and spiral.

From the outside, it looks like your team isn’t just behind schedule—they’re willfully acting like they can’t do what needs to be done, despite the fact that the technology and the know-how absolutely exist.

There’s no longer a sense of urgency. No leadership. And no real commitment to save this game from the hole it’s in.

This Isn’t About Limitations — It’s About Laziness or Sabotage

The excuses don’t fly anymore.

Realistic movement? It can be done.
Punch variety and responsiveness? The tech exists.
AI that fights like real boxers? Absolutely possible.
Dynamic career modes, clean presentation, deep customization? All proven, all achievable.

So why does it feel like you're choosing not to improve the game?
Why does it feel like you're deliberately stalling, stretching out development until everyone loses interest—or worse, gives up entirely?

If this isn't sabotage, then it's dangerously close to gross negligence.

The April Update Could Be the Final Straw

You've been hyping this next update like it’s a game-changer.
It better be.

Because if it’s more of the same:

Vague patch notes
Minimal gameplay progress
Ignored core issues
And a lack of communication

…then it won’t just disappoint—it’ll signal to the community that Undisputed is on life support, and the people in charge are the ones pulling the plug.

Time’s Up for Excuses. Step Up or Step Aside.

This community believed in you. We rooted for you. We’ve shared our ideas, time, feedback, and even defended you when criticism came flying in.

But what have we gotten in return?

Half-baked mechanics
Broken promises
And an unfinished game that somehow keeps regressing

Here’s the truth you need to hear:
You’re sabotaging your own potential.
You’re ignoring the people who want to help you succeed.
And you’re running out of time.

Deliver the Game You Promised—Or Watch Someone Else Do It Better

At this point, it’s not even about being first. It’s about being right.
Someone will make a better boxing game if you keep this up. The demand is there. The blueprint exists. And the patience is running dry.

We don’t want excuses.
We want execution.

So either:

✅ Lead this project with real urgency, transparency, and purpose…
OR
❌ Step aside and make room for people who actually give a damn about boxing, gaming, and keeping their word.

Your Move, Ash. Make It Count.

The April update will tell us everything.
If it’s another letdown, then Undisputed may go down not as a revolution—but as the greatest missed opportunity in sports gaming history.

We’re not here to babysit the development. We’re here to see boxing games finally get what they deserve.

Don’t waste this chance.
