I don't play online, don't like training mini-games and only want to play career mode anyway, so many of the big criticisms don't apply to me. With that said, this benefits heavily from not having a boxing game for a long time. There are a lot of little issues (imbalance, same animations, hit detection, some bugs, push mechanic etc), but for the most part it's a fun game. It needs a lot of work but I'd be lying if I didn't get a bunch of enjoyment out of it. Just isn't as sticky as Fight Night.
