I may give the career mode another try after seeing the new update. The first career mode I started I had to fight the same fighters like 4 or 5 times

It got old and stale extremely quick. At least now I can create fighters and add them to the career mode to make up for the lack of roster.
There are so many things they can add to this game to make it more enjoyable.
- Allow us to see who our opponent is choosing in online matches. This will prevent the amount of mirror matches that take place. Unless you are fighting heavyweight it’s the same matchups over and over. Crawford vs Crawford, Canelo vs Crawford, maybe a Sugar Ray vs Crawford over and over again. This will also make it easier for us to test out the lower rated guys. No one is willing to do that now cause you are likely fighting the top 3 rated guys in the weight class.
- Downloadable create a fighters should be an option. Even on fight night for PS3 you could download the most popular created fighters from online users. Makes it easier to deal with the lack of fighters.
- allow combined weight classes in offline fight modes. In UFC you can mess around and put the heaviest guy on the roster against the smallest. Its a videogame why am I being limited in my potential matchups? I understand for online fights but offline there is no reason to have this limitation. I should be able to put Claressa Shields up against any of the men

…. But on a serious note combined weight class option will allow for more matchups. I dont even think you can have Jake Paul fight Canelo with the current weight class set up.
- The commentary is some of the worst I have experienced in a sports game. Not only is there a lack of dialogue which leads to the same comments being made through out the fight, but there is no logic to what is being said or when it is being said. You’ll usually hear “ I thought we’d see a little more action” 10 seconds into the fight or “ the judges are going to score that round for you know who”….No I dont know who

be a little more specific.
- How is there no clinch in this game? A boxing game on PS5 in 2025 has no way to clinch when you are hurt? Crazy thing is one fight I got rocked and the commentators were repeating “He needs to clinch!”
I could go on and on but those few changes would make the game far better than it currently is.
