While we dove in and gave our initial impressions on what the create-a-boxer feature looks like in eSports Boxing Club so far, another way to think about it is by comparing it to the last big boxing game that was released.

MLB The Show 21 will be missing a signature feature that has been praised year after year as a fantastic — and unique — element for franchise mode heads. This feature is carryover saves.

The loudest feature listed here, at least amongst the die-hard community, might be “franchise improvement.” That side of the community has been clamoring for a franchise overhaul for what feels like an entire console generation, so that will certainly be something to track as the game approaches. “New Franchise and MTO tools to better plan for the future” could mean a number of things. Are we getting a revamped scouting system? Revamped contracts? Is the progression system evolving? More tools for online leagues? Time will tell.
