Undisputed's slow post-launch support doesn't bode well for its future

Slow momentum could diminish the franchise's potential

Steel City Interactive recently addressed player feedback, particularly regarding the online multiplayer game, via a blog post. An official statement from the team revealed that the first major update for the Indisputable will arrive sometime in mid-December. Many of these basic problems like Indisputablepowerful punches, have become notorious in the game community. Nowadays, it is common for many titles to experience errors and problems at launch, but some players have found the online game to be completely broken.

Let's hope Undisputed picks up the pace

Updates scheduled for mid-December patch

• Fix for stuttering reactions
• Fixing issues with power shots in online matches
• Makes Deontay Wilder less powerful, especially his power hook
• DLC fighters that cannot be used online will be fixed
• Fixed issues with players getting stuck on transition screens after winning with an injury TKO
• For some players, the DLC does not appear for additional Xbox accounts.

Mixed reviews are a tough enough start for any release, but putting a much-needed patch into a game less than two months after its 1.0 launch doesn't send a positive message to many players. Killing combo in Indisputable can feel great, and the combat mechanics in general show a lot of promise. However, if Steel City Interactive can't fix the game in time, then Indisputable may lack the traction needed to warrant a big streak. The boxing drought in the Games was an unfortunate turn of events, and Indisputable represented the potential for his return.

With so much potential, the game can't be discounted just yet, but hopefully Steel City Interactive will be able to make significant fixes to the game in a much more efficient timeframe than the first update. If Indisputable wants to become the next big name in licensed boxing games, then focusing on its post-launch support will likely be key. After a long period of early access, these problems were even more frustrating, but Indisputable may still have a chance to recover from its disjointed launch.
