It gets a lot of hate because I think people expect it to be the next fight night when in reality it's the 1st undisputed and if you look at it that way you can enjoy it for what it is....

The wholesome excitement the community felt towards this game prior to the early access release is DEAD. Not just a little bit dead, we're talking mag dumped, body thrown in the bottom of a lake type dead. The devs made a ton of promises early on, and even managed to deliver on some, but as development continued, it became clear that the bulk of time was going towards DLC fighter packs instead of improving the buggy …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is utter garbage. Mechanics dont make any sense. Career mode is utter ass. I downloaded this hoping for a good time and its just straight garbage. Ai lands anything they want and negates anything you throw by input reading and your punches feel like you are fighting for your life in a dream. If fight night was on here i would be playing that and not even giving this game a second thought. Graphics are incredible but mechanics are stupid as ♥♥♥♥ and can suck my ass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is awful and should be avoided at all costs. The devs also ban anyone from their discord if the add suggestions to fix it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a hot pile of trash. It used to be okay. Now it is unplayable. They have implemented so many updates that punches do not even land now. I would say maybe 20% of what I throw hits my target. Its aweful. DO NOT BUY THIS PILE OF CRAP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy thinking you are going to get EA's Fight Night Champions it was good at one point, then they kept messing with the game, and now it's pretty trashy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You should buy this if you want to play a boxing game where your boxer feels like he is fighting underwater - most of the punches do not land - unless you are impossibly far away and then somehow they land out of thin air. Game is truly horrible. Should be renamed Frustration Simulator 2025 - its feels borderline criminal that they are allowed to sell this for money.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has been out for 2 years and they're yet to fix the hit registration. The developers can't help themselves from trying to suck money from players by putting a paywall in front of half of the fighters in the game without fixing quite literally anything wrong with the game. It's the only combat sports game on PC at this time and I still wouldn't wish playing this god awful excuse for a boxing game to my biggest enemy. The game is utter garbage to the fullest extent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is rubbish do not buy.. everyone just sits and waits for u to throw punches and counters constantly... i was 1 hour in and my god its not enjoyable atall.. throwing punches and its going right through them with no connection... played lots of boxing games over the years and this is by far the worse... do not buy it.. u will regret it 100%
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Booted up Undisputed to get some footage and instantly regretted it. This game is god awful 😭
negative · AI labelView post →That Undisputed boxing game is free on PlayStation Plus and it’s pretty indicative of things as a whole that you play it and think it’s kind of fun but then think about the last boxing game which came out 15 years ago doing every single thing a little better
neutral · AI labelView post →A money laundering project. Devs ghosted the community without any updates or communication. Gameplay is full of bad hit registration and glitch punches. I prefer not to speak of the online mode as I cant put it in civilized words
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought yesterday (12/8). Played for 2 hours, just past Steam's return policy. Was enjoying it. Not terrible, not the best. Went to bed and woke up the next morning. Oh weird, Undisputed has an update. Updated the game, booted it, reached title screen, INFINITE TITLE SCREEN LOADING. "No problem", I think. It happens to the best of games. Go to steam, verify files integrity. Everything looked good. Weird, okay, I'll try to boot it again. Nope, infinite title screen loading. Okay... Maybe its the…

neutral · AI labelView post →Keep going back to this game after each "update" in the hope that it gets fixed. I am sorry, it's absolute sh1t. Extremely unresponsive and it's crazy that after all these years, Fight Night Champion still out does it in every way. It's got a pretty good roster but that's really it. Just a frustrating mess of a game. A shiny turd comes to mind when thinking about this game. Give it a miss and pray for a new Fight Night or something along those lines.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to love this game, it was awesome . Now it became an absolute garbage, mechanics are off, u will get more realistic boxing in Mortal Combat LOL. Developers are braindead. How can you have a great concept that everyone likes and in a matter of year ruin it completely. If you are thinking about buying this game DONT. Total waste of money, poor development and there is a decent chance they wont give you refund for it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is THE worst combat game i've ever played. Even the best boxers get gassed after throwing three punches!!! the movement is super stiff and not fluid at all, the head movement is terrible and extremely flawed. And worst of all the punches are basically in a set position, so your fighter cant extend his punch or adapt to the other fighters distance. On top of that the stunned animations are terrible, tell me how I can stun a fighter 5 times and they don't go down once, but when i get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had a lot of potential at the beginning and really felt like the boxing game we as fans wanted for years. sadly, the game got worse over time with disappointing updates and too many unresolved problems. now it feels abandoned because the developers already moved on to a sequel instead of fixing the current game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game hides behind realism as a shield from how poorly they designed the customization features. Instead of finishing the Career System, they released paid DLC fighters and now have run off to make a second, likely equally as unfinished game. The only reason I'm still playing it is because no one else is making boxing games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had this game for like 2 years now. The punches are still terrible! Hooks don't even reach the opponents head even when you're standing 2 inches from them. when you do punch from a distance you land like 1/5 punches because all the others just fly either above the head or straight past it. I wanted to give this game some time to hopefully get it on it's feet but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. Stamina is horrible in this game, your opponent loses less stamina than you no matter what…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sucks ass. Hit detection and punch tracking is utterly broken in a GAME ABOUT BOXING AND USING ANGLES TO WIN. Its like your boxers dont know how to extend their reach when slightly out of range. Game has a lot of decent and boxing accurate mechanics but 20 year old games done it better. D sync is terrible online, and Career mode is somehow streamlined but overly complicated. But if you want to play with a friend and punch each other its half way decent.

neutral · AI labelView post →Bro WTF. So you just gonna leave this game broken? Punches whiffing a foot above the opponents head, landing shots but they don't register. It seriously sucks the fun out of the game. So if you don't intend to fix the damn thing then you, can just go f**k yourselves. Do not buy the game, get an emulator for Xbox or PS and just play fight night. any of them are better than this pile of disappointment. May your pillows be hot, and holidays dreary and sad. If you didn't intend to stick with it,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just box in real life, the brain damage is not as bad as the brain damage you get playing this trash ass game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am so heartbroken about this game and I would encourage you to AVOID it. Undisputed had so much potential, coupled with a huge player base begging for this game, just for it to become a two button punch spamming simulator. All the time I spent learning the roll, parry, and counter punching mechanics are WASTED because they cannot work in online play. Punches connect through the roll mechanic consistently, if you are daring enough to use it against a flurry of 20 straight punches over and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fight Night this game is not. Seriously, FNR3 came out 20 years ago, and the PS2 port of that game is more enjoyable than this. I haven't played the new update and don't really intend to. I bought it because it had been over-hyped as the biggest thing in boxing games. Which, I can understand to an extent because there really hasn't been one since FNC in 2011. However, you would think seeing all the hype and expectations around the game would make the devs want to deliver. Nope. What we got…

But this review should sum it up perfectly. This game....Makes me miss Fight Night Champions.......That's all. Every moment i play this game. I just wish it was FNC. Edit: Apparnantly I need to make this OBVIOUS. The game should feel like its the revolutionary boxing game. A game we as fans have waited years for. Instead, all it does is make me want to dig my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ how are the reviews mixed, the game has been abandoned since last October and the game is still broken, there's no skill involved if you spam power shots you will win the majority of the time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible boxing game! Punches feel slow and unresponsive. Movement looks cool but feels clunky as if its strings of animations triggered in order. I can't fully describe how bad the punching feels. Best way to put it is it feels like trying to fight in a dream with no control of your arms.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game. They literally release one or two updates PER year and it's very minimal fixes with ZERO communication to the community about ANYTHING regarding development or future updates. As of posting this review it has been SIX MONTHS since we've received an update or patch on this game! The worse dev team by far ! Save your money !
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game and devs are complete trash. Buy the game if you want on sale like I did cuz it clearly isnt worth its regular price
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't Buy. It's ♥♥♥♥. Abandoned by Developers, which refused to listen to Feedback to begin with. You have a higher Chance, winning the Lottery than hitting Punches consistently. Counter Punches are more of a "lets see if the Engine Feels like it Mechanic". Random Knockdowns out of Nowhere. Literally any other Fighting Game is less Frustrating than this ♥♥♥♥.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Over promised and under delivered. And now this game is abandoned so they can focus on the new game. Fighters hidden behind expensive dlc packs. Do yourself a favour and find any of the fight night games if you want a good boxing game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing this game for a little bit in pvp ive learned something. It has very little to do with actually being good at the game, and everything to do with exploiting the awful mechanics. getting hit by counters after landing combos, body cross and jab spammers, phantom hits, heavy shot spamming, cardio meaning nothing in this game. if you want a game that will only frustrate you if played like intended, this is the game for you. how unfortunate that this is the only option pc really has as…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Undisputed is honestly dogwater. The connection is terrible. 80% of the fights I’ve played have had horrible lag and desync, where I get hit by punches I don’t even see coming. This isn’t just me either — plenty of people in the community have complained about the same thing. The game also does a terrible job dealing with spammers, and the hit detection can feel completely inconsistent. Sometimes punches don’t register properly, while other times you get hit from what feels like nowhere. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after 50 hours! ive wanted to like this game but i cant. its clunky which i can look past, i mean its a boxing game which is hard to make. but the career mode is way too hard and not in a good way. basically you will eventually face a challenger who has very long reach and just hits the body. there is no counter, dodge, slip or anything you can do. also the body shots are buffed. buffing stats is not the way to make a balanced game, it just makes the fights not fun. also the random injuries you…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Game has incredible potential. Here are all the cons about this game in my opinion... 1. I'm 30-7 online ranked & 5 of my losses were due to connection/desync issues, which really makes me hate the game. You can verse an individual who is not in your league but you still end up losing some how... 2. I feel like footwork needs more control too. Not at the level of UFC games where it feels Arcade like but not to the point where you feel like you're gliding on ice. 3. A feature where you…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly... this game has so much potential. Got feelings of Fight Night.... but just absolutely lazy devs whoo arent doing anything anymore. I will still play it, but I wouldnt pay more than 5$ for it. its definitely a beta game. such a shame... this could have been the replacement for knockout kings.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →movement in this game is terrible, practically no defense, cant even move your head around unless you stand still...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please fix these garbage servers. Every loss on my record is because of a bad connection. I was winning every round tonight and then the connection dropped. Its not my connection as I play other games online with no lag. Don't get me started on the flash knockouts after you dominated your opponent the entire fight except for the last minute. People spam the power bunch button(should be more tired) and hope to get a flash knockout.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game with good graphics and gameplay, and as a boxing fan, I'm happy with my purchase.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute trash. Spend 11 and a half rounds boxing your opponents head off to get beat with a one punch KO. These clowns deserve to go bust for releasing this dross, and then having the gall to charge extra for decent fighters. Screw Steel City Interactive
