Undisputed Career Mode Review - Worth the Hype? (Deep Dive) 

Yeah I was a UX manager for a few years, so I utilised Agile Scrum

@ClaimerUncut I'm just getting into it, any tips?

My own experience, If possible have real standups atleast 2 times a week, huddled around a sprint board. *I used to frown upon this* , considering it a waste of team time, however with Story points or task "effort" being measured and discussed as a group, it helps to ensure developers or designers keep each other in check, especially if you're personally unsure of the technicalities of a task. For example, If "John" has taken 3 days to complete 1 website header, whilst James has completed the equivalent of 5 headers in 3 days.. John and James being in each other's presence whilst progress is discussed, encourages accountability and efficiency, and also keeps feedback objective (no emotions). You can follow up by asking the entire team if "effort needs to be remeasured?" as opposed to calling one person out, to where the team then debate amongst themselves. Slackers or weak links are then exposed by design, which results in less conflict and rifts between yourself and team members.

@ClaimerUncut Thank you very much for your thorough reply! It's quite the journey so far, a ton to learn and I appreciate the tips.

​@@ClaimerUncut i just got my bachelor of business 7 days ago and feel i learnt more reading that than my management subjects. I wrote your comment in my notebook thanks mate

I think they're hoping the Lamborghini shell, combined with all the Content creators atm making every popular fighter under the sun.. to push sales, meet initial targets.. and then they'll start working on the sequel.

No he's not I been calling em out since two yrs ago. But this is a very sturdy video fr 🔥

The graphics are not that good.

@@ClaimerUncut UNDISPUTED 2... no doubt!

@@ClaimerUncut Hold your horses! They have to work on the arm's reaction when hitting the face/ body and the Face's/ body's reaction when being hit. Like a wave that travels down to the fist. Won't you agree? Check the BIVOL-CANELO in slow motion. When BIVOL hits CANELO's face, you can see the wave traveling down BIVOL's right punch!

100% mate, and i've also been playing this game since early access, but cant say i've had 200+ hours like some streamers (eyegameuwatch) i am a boxing fan and not amazing at online ranked (80/85/4) but stopped playing online due to career mode coming out. this video highlited problems with the ai that i did pick up on, some anyways while playing. no one was spamming upperkuts to the body, step back rights etc (that you see online) however i agree with all that you said, the gameplay is okay but they need to change the ai i personally dont mind sim training however it does seem like a chore and repetitive i don't see the point in having to sim for sharpness as well as weight as if you sim for sharpness from 25/30 to 70, then you end up overweight at the max which doesn't make sense as why would you put on weight when you've been training all them weeks this causes to waste more weeks and age faster. also yeah the hairstyles, body physique and beards i wasn't impressed with no cutscenes (we aint asking for story mode esque cutscenes but at least for belts) ai is deffo the main problem i found out late in my 30's that you can acc send out contracts to any fighter but by then the likes of canelo, sugar ray, khan were all like 50/60 rated yet still top of the governing bodies and had all the belts, how does that make sense the real life fighters shouldn't age there's me thinking that all this time i aint been getting real opponents, just made up ones so i have to get the better managers and then ill get offers from canelo etc but that wasn't the case when i unlocked the best promoters also aside from career mode if thats the last update which i hope isn't then we need a lot of fighters added including the absolute necessities like mike tyson, floyd mayweather, manny pacquiao, gervonta davis, chris eubank, devin haney, george foreman etc. also additional referrees as there's only kenny bayliss all in all you know it's not a big ask from steel city, from what i understand they have limited budget creating fighters and adding refs is not a big ask, increasing the customization for career is not a big ask, adding cutscenes for belts adds to the experience and again is not a big ask we aren't asking for story mode like changes as it isn't story mode, however it would be nice to see these changes, along with changes to training giving the option to sim to say a set level, or the option to get an A grade or D grade in the same mode (e.g. defensive sparring) if you decide to do the training a training mode is something to definitely think about but not top of priority and of course fixing details and stats e.g. ensuring fighters e.g. kell brook, crawford, canelo dont end up being too easy and 70 rated when it comes to fighting them, again not a big ask just a case of coding that stuff in the final point is the gameplay and improving the iq of the ai and fixing them which in my opinion yet again is not a big ask. This man explained in this video everything wrong with the gameplay all in all these are the main points and if they get recognised and fixed, we could be in a real good spot for this game

Lol ain’t no way they’re even doing 30% of this

@@therealFMG agreed bro unfortunately I think its the last update until console release :(

Say that to them bruh not here, if you suggest these changes they might actually implement these, I think they have discord or something. You should say it to them directly.

@@carlosianaasis7345 they won’t lol no matter where you put it, don’t get your hopes up

This tickled me so bad 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

That shit had me crying😭😭

Lol it's so bad I don't know how they expected consumers to react positively

It's so SEGA GENESIS era . Back when game hardwares were very limited.... I mean even PS1 WWE games had you holding your belt and climbing 🪜 so what's the excuse here to forego a reason why one would play career mode in the first place.

This is funny to you? Lol wow

Pretty much this. I envision junior developers hired to solve senior problems, and tweaking whatever they can to appear to be making progress. The sad thing is there's nothing to "sell". Why hire boxing Fanatico (that's a salary which could go to a developer) when he can't create undisputed content on his channel? We have roughly 4 months to see if they'll offer core hotfixes, so there's still hope.

You don’t like the game fine, but stay out of the next man pocket! Wow!

@@thenealfamily5 Right

@thenealfamily5 When I see regurgitated corny lines like this.. Smh He's calling out boxing Fanatico for being a snake oil salesman, whilst it's not a main point of discussion for myself.. he's not wrong. His job is Content Manager, a job he got from shilling at a time when 99% of his audience could see the punching was off, and he would irrationally argue that we were wrong. That's not someone who represents his audience.. He represents the company... Thus he now works for them. A year in.. 3 or 4 videos doesn't justify a yearly salary. This conversation doesn't result in the man losing his job. And if there is incompetence, then let heads roll. Would you have the same energy if I questioned Will Kinslers competence? We know you wouldn't. I used to get this same BS remark regarding my criticism for Martial Mind too. Crab communities will cut off their own nose to spite their face.

@@ClaimerUncut Let's be optimistic. A lot is riding on this game. I don't think they would screw it. Take care!

Might get delayed they making improvements so prob August 2079

October 11 2024

fax bro. so many games take the fun out of accomplishments the players make. i remember in nhl 2k 10 when you won the Stanley cup you could pass the cup around for however long you wanted and the commentators would be talking the whole time, me and my brother would win the cup and celebrate for like 30 minutes😂 now it's just low effort cut scenes and aparatently just pictures of a belt

Oh yeah, unfortunately the 2K games have also become very bad. The main story always consists of a rival and a social media career outside of basketball. But the worst thing is that you can choose a team at the beginning and are no longer randomly picked by a team. The scenes from the draft are also completely missing from the new 2K games. Same with Undisputed, if I become champion I want to see a cutscene with the belts. Even EA has that in UFC4 even if you become double champion

@@SirchLP facts. Allowing players to choose teams strips away the feeling of a journey. When I was 13 my Myplayer on 2k11 got drafted by The Suns and cut because I played badly in the summer league. I had to play in the G League until another team gave me a chance, and then I went on to become a Pacers legend. That was more impressive and organic than any of the crap 2k has put out in the last decade.

@@improbablyyourdad8458 That's exactly what I want again in 2k!! I suddenly have a sympathy for the Pelicans because I was drafted there. Before, I would always have gone to the Celtics. Now I'm specifically looking for the "worse" teams. But it must be like before that you get picked at random.. I would feel it too if you were playing a tournament tree in high school and had to fulfill certain things to even get a higher pick placement but I think we will never get that again..

Thanks Bro, I just don't have the time these days to make in-depth content, always appreciate my original subs. You're on the money, they'll find success as long as they have no competition.

@@ClaimerUncut Well, unless EA comes w/ a better boxing game.

When did they release the game

You said it best, "as compared to"

They don't listen to the feedback of videos, discord or reddit let alone emails Bro FR

Whatever yaw emailed they probably already know lol I got two replies from them stating they will consider my idea of what it needs next

I created an entire channel called. undisputed cheaters 8 months ago, to showcase proof of the players I reported. Every one of those players still remain.. The "we want your feedback" routine is a sham.. If anything they silence feedback to "Cope".

Isn't that crazy to think in 2018 it looks the same or possibly better than it does now. And that's with the millions they made selling it in early access.

Thanks Dryver, I will 🙏

Much appreciated Bro, I now create Undisputed content here if interested @claimerundisputed

Thanks Bro I'll try to be consistent atleast during March!

@@ClaimerUncut -Quick question, Do you think money is the problem? Don't they have enough funds to develop a great boxing game?

Highly slept on!

Hey Roadhouse, much appreciated. I'll be uploading them to another channel which is GTA focused, however there will be more work applied than just uploading unfortunately, because I'd want for the videos to gain traction. With that said I'll be sure to share a post when it goes live.

@@ClaimerUncut all good man, your commentary on those videos were 10/10. I was heartbroken when i seen they was gone lol

Appreciated Stephen, truth and integrity is essentially the theme of this channel. Most of us just want a solid Boxing game., why big corp can't profit whilst providing the fundamentals to their player base is beyond me.

Thanks Bro, you can! Check out @claimerundisputed if ur interested 😁

Funny enough.. I plan to cover n0nce in the future. I'm a bit dissapointed with his latest E begging and lack of drive to take advantage of YT Boxing opportunities

Haha ur welcome

Nah you can't unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@ClaimerUncutomg thats such a let down. They need to add it as its basically expected at this point in a boxers career for the last idk 50 years lmao

King Diaz

@@ClaimerUncut -Quick question, Do you think money is the problem? Don't they have enough funds to develop a great boxing game?

Thanks Bro 🙏 I'll also try to be more consistent throughout March and April

Lol.. The list goes on. Alot of the younger gen don't rate FN champion.. I think as a product of its time, it still stands up as the best boxing game despite poor punch sounds and movement.

There's still hope, since they have an update in the works, but whatever you do.. Don't pre-buy. Best bet is to wait for My review on release date

@@ClaimerUncut will do. Your content is great btw

Thanks Bro, and hope all is well in life ✊

All good man, stuff is good yeah thank you. Been doing better with RU-vid and stuff, thumbnails getting better, content meh still the same but getting a little better. Glad to see you back!! Hope all is well for you too man😎👍

Unfortunately for the sake of Pre-sales.. They've alluded to improvements, but they won't be showcasing those improvements until launch, shady in my opinion. I would wait a few days after full release, ill have a full honest review be then, and youll be able to see latest steam reviews.

@@ClaimerUncut Thank you so much for the fast answer. Great review also. looking forward to see a new review when the full release has dropped.

I hear ya Bro, I know you truly enjoy the game.. Its a shame as always when outside content creators leech for the wrong reasons

Good stuff 👍🏽

I'd imagine they have to meet certain expectations before their next shareholder meeting. With that, they had to prioritisw career and caf modes as leverage to push sales in order to get further funding. Problem is they have alot of full timers employed.. And from my experience that drains the finances, your better off hiring contractors for a few months at a time, with no pension related stuff to worry about. I could be completely off btw.. Just my experience working for startups

If I had to guess, I'd say they're under pressure to release before 2025.

I have to play the improvements first before I give it the green light ✊

They had announced at the time of this review, there would be no more updates so it was fair to review the career as a final Build. however after this video.. They changed their minds ✊ we also now have a belt.

Nah its only on PC for the time being, I think they plan a console release in aug to Oct

@@ClaimerUncut is it the best boxing game?

@@OscarTheGrouch755 I've covered Undisputed for over a year.. Purely because it has the "potential" to surpass Fight Night. In its current state though, it's a broken game not investing in.. If they fix the key issues.. They have a winner

@@ClaimerUncut good looks bro. I appreciate you looking out for a fellow muppet.

Yeah I think the Ref is literally a fixed mannequin for before the fight starts.. same can be said for the boxers teams standing corner side, they have no expressions.. it's sad, because I know they have the time and resources to fix these things, but seems they're focused on Sales and partners

Hey thanks studdy, I've actually queried why you disappeared from the scene, after seeing you present at an early meet up for the game. Someone had mentioned you had some sort of Trophy collectable channel which took off or something so good for you. Through an insider I've heard Martial Minds undisputed playthroughs correlated with a rise in sales.. So they've put the boys on playthrough duty to replicate his formula 🤷‍♂️ and they wonder why their names are in the dirt!

Thanks DH, word has it.. This video encouraged SCI to keep updating the game.

Word has it, my videos encouraged them to continue to update the game, and many of the exploits I've pointed out on my other channel "claimerundisputed" have also been considered ✊

It's a classic, FNC and Def jam fight for new york Campaign modes are top of the food chain

Fcking shame that there is no Fight Night for ps4, my ps3 is too slow now..😐

Wow well said

I'd estimate around October

🙏🥊

So this is early access on PC, and they just release the career mode for it. Apparently this is the last update, so going forward they're working on a console release.

EA is the only game company to deliver a solid sport product… and make the customer pay for said quality, after buying the physical copy…….

There were alot of jumpcuts, it's possible although he was probably regaining stamina in between rounds using the check hooks which deal alot of damage. Jx officially works for Steel City so he'll have to show the game in its best light by design. If he were a general content creator shilling for scraps I may feel more invested in scrutinising him, however I've heard from multiple sources that internally he's one of the few vocal employees who speaks on most issues. All in all.. I wouldn't be keen to create playthroughs for a broken game.

well if he's speaking out against the game i will happily pipe down, such a shame i love this game when it came out hopefully when it finally gets to consoles they will have a player base with genuine feedback not based on wemod hacks.
