Boxing Manager 12+

Great game looking forward to updates

This is a great sequel that should have been an update to the original game but it is well worth the money if you where a fan of the first one. I’m looking forward to the updates as it is still difficult to effect how well your fighter trains which I feel should be improved. However the growth system is a small tweak in the right direction. Hoping to see improved aspects later on to help with certain stat training i.e. more coach training news, less exp for growth, etc.

The tidal bouts also need improving as the game is very harsh on some of the ranking demotions when your fighter is on a good streak, hopefully this will be fixed or atleast improved later on.

Honestly it’s a great game out of all the boxing manager games out there, it’s simplistic and well wrote out for anyone new to these games but it does need some tweaks to help manage fighters better.

Thanks for the review.

Great game which provides hours of entertainment!

I’ve been playing boxing manager for some time now and I can say that the mechanics of the game are excellent. I’m happy with how my fighter has grown and the wide selection of tables and leaderboards. There’s also a good amount of advise you can give during match’s which is wonderful. My only problem with the game is that you don’t start off with much money. You also don’t make much money from fights which kind of forces you into the betting side of the game. It isn’t worth betting unless you lay down some serious money so if your anything like me you’ll win a couple and then eventually lose everything and go bankrupt. I wish there was some other way to make money on the side apart from betting like some sort of gym sponsorships.

Overall: Great… However

I’d definitely rate this as one of the best games I’ve played. Going into the detail of booking fights, negotiating contracts with your fighters and trying to profitably run a gym, or multiple gyms.
However after a few years on what was my most successful game by far, I was suddenly thrown into a point where instead of touching advance would go from one week to advancing 2 months. This led to my fighters becoming unhappy with me and wanting out of their contracts. I lost my unified heavyweight champion and my WBC / IBF middleweight champion due to this. I went from $16million in the bank to -$74million with no clue why, unless the boxers suing to get out of their contracts led to this.
This is obviously a bug of some kind. If this can be cleaned up then this is easily a 5 star game.
