Here’s a structured collection of quotes and paraphrased sentiments from PoeticDrink2u (Poe), a longtime advocate for a realistic/sim boxing video game, particularly concerning the Undisputed boxing game (formerly known as ESBC). These are based on his known public posts, videos, and commentary over the years:
I. On the Direction of Undisputed
“They had something special in the beginning, but they chose clout and shortcuts over the simulation fans who built them up.”
“Undisputed was marketed as a sim. Now it’s trying to appease arcade fans who don’t even care about boxing.”
"The original ESBC had soul — now it feels like a shell with better lighting."
II. On Developers Ignoring Realism
“They could’ve made the greatest boxing sim of all time — but they got scared of realism.”
“They keep listening to players who don’t even want boxing to feel like boxing.”
“Simulation doesn’t mean boring. Realism can be more exciting when it’s respected.”
III. On SCI and Community Engagement
“They used us — the real boxing fans — to build hype, then turned their backs when casuals came knocking.”
"You silence voices like mine, but cater to people who only play 10 minutes a week.”
"I didn’t want fame — I wanted a boxing game that finally respected the sport."
IV. On Gameplay and Physics
“Where are the punch variations? Where’s footwork being punished or rewarded?”
“Boxing has rhythm and danger. Undisputed has spam and safety.”
"Your stamina bar ain’t sim. Your movement isn’t sim. The punches are floaty and lack conviction."
V. On Being Banned or Silenced
“I wasn’t negative. I was passionate. And they couldn’t handle real critique.”
"Ban me, but you can’t ban the truth — you fumbled the sim game."
VI. On the Fans
“Real fans of the sport don’t want arcade. They want depth, strategy, and realism.”
“We’re not asking for Fight Night again — we’re asking for a game that respects boxing’s layers.”
