There should be a singleplayer option. Without something like that "new players" come online, see 0 opponents, log off again with "game does not give me a play" and forget the game. Think about this option, no matter if good or bad, just give new players the chance to see that there is a game.

Yacoob or better known as The Great Yacoob is the most controversial fighter in online boxing history. Hailing from The Shaolin Temple in China, Never has anyone had such a large audience of fans both attendants and fighters alike.
The Great Yacoob started out as a simple fighter like most fighting their way to become champion but after a few losses, The Great Yacoob began to unleash his frustration through witty insults, Comedy, and in ring entertainment that caused an uproar in the beginning, but soon made him the most famous and iconic online boxing fighter of all time.
His first feud started with Couture he called Penis Sniff Couture online boxing's male underwear sniffing mascot that spawned his first series of quotes such as, "I JUST MADE YOUR ASS FAMOUS", "NEXT TIME TRAIN HARDER SO THE ASS WHIPPIN LASTS LONGER", "KNOW YOUR PLACE AND EAT YOUR YACOOB FLAKES PART OF A SLAPPING GOOD BREAKFAST", HALELUJAH YACOOB HAS SPOKEN, ALL WORDS ARE FINAL" and many more....The Great Yacoob became an idol, a representative of The Online Boxing World filling seats with his presence and charismatic persona. During times of Online Boxings decline The Great Yacoob was responsible on many occasions to boost ratings, revive the excitement, and utterly save the business countless times in times of economic hardship.
The Great Yacoob's first title victory came by way of Defeating Fernando Vargas for the North American title on Two occassions. The Great Yacoob's championship glory was short lived and soon after he founded a new friendship with a good friend and later rival Serious Business forming the first ever group in the business called the Drama Clique. Never before had any two individuals ever stirred up as much trouble and rivalries as these two. After years of friendship the two fell out and the rivalry lasted over a year of heated battles both suffering losses and prevailing in victories. The Great Yacoob's fame overshadowed Serious Businesse's when he went on to win his first World Championship, the OBW title against Sugar Ray who shortly regained the title back in a rematch and defeated The Great Yacoob in back to back defenses. The Great Yacoob was counted out as a loser but regained his footing when he began reestablishing his prominence through psychological warfare that was only mastered by the one and only Muhammed Ali. The Great Yacoob's sold out events surpassed all the greats including Hall Of Famers. The Great Yacoob's losses outweighed his victories and it seemed his career was at a loss until he defeated Felix Trinidad for the South American title and did the same against TooSmooth. The Great Yacoob had the greatest rivalries of all time with the most fighters of all time ranging from his first Couture, Serious Business, Red Viper whom he fought a record 200 times, Nigel Benn whom he defeated for the OBA Championship, Unstoppable whom he defeated for the OBA Championship, Ken Norton, Black Bear, Ray Johnson, Mikkel (The Owner), Don King Promotions (The President), Squeezed Head, King Chopper, and more. The Great Yacoob was also the founding member and leader of the legendary, The Black Fist Family that was a leauge of fighters competing against the cunning and powerful Pound For Pound Gym headed by Rocky Marciano. Both Gyms defeated one another respectively and the war lasted a long 6 months.
Later The Great Yacoob began to have emotional breakdowns and alcoholic problems and began losing not only fights but his inspiration and confidence in fighting. He retired countless times returning only to lose more fights as his ratings fell but never his respect nor his fans. The Great Yacoob returned again only to dissipate for his longest absence in 2010 and than later returned in 2011.
Upon his return his victories became prominent once again as he rose to the ranks eventually defeating the most dominant fighter A Punching Bag for the OBF Title. It was short lived after he lost his title to the TRPCHE but a month later he reclaimed his glory defeating Poyo562 and having a 21 win streak and 14 defenses thus far The Great Yacoob met his match Mr. Goat in a non title bout losing but came back to defeat him 4 times. Later he suffered a multitude of losses to The Sniper, whom beat him for the OBF Title but lost it 24 hours later to A Punching Bag. The Great Yacoob refusing to quit fought A Punching Bag for the OBF Championship winning it against him making it the second time A Punching Bag handed him the belt. After his showdowns The Great Yacoob made a vow to The Celibate Lifestyle of a Monk and refused to ignite his showboating ego for the entertaining of the masses any longer. Currently fresher than ever and more powerful of a fighter nobody can ever deny the historical, spiritual, hilarious, and emotional journey and career of this young man known as The Great Yacoob.

Not the best strategy to refuse basical things like singleplayer to get more players. But its your game.

Single player is a MUST.
Because new players have no chance vs experienced players so only way for them to train (and play this game at all)is single player.

So no single player - no new players.

There must be some intelligence. You created this game. But i doubt it at the moment.
Your players tell you what is deeply missing and whats the main problem that no new players arrive to the game and all you do is giving them comments like this.
Well, i dont care. But dont ask yourself in another ten years why noone is playing your games. Just keep ignoring the active players.
Looks like you are a marketing genius. While other developers pay people to help them finding out problems of their games you give a shit to the things your players say.
I pity you mikkel.

First off, I am not Mikkel and do not speak for him. What I will say is that everyone knows that he basically (or as you guys like to say basical) designs, runs, debugs, and improves this game (and 3D) on his own. He sees virtually NO compensation for doing this, which is very generous on his part, or as you call it "bad marketing". So Titan, if you want single player, perhaps you could design it and add it on. Or alternatively, with your excellent marketing ability [and your obvious abundance of time], buy into the game and make it what you think it could be.

Oh and perhaps you should thank him every once in a while instead of pitying him.

Its like if I fix one thing, people just want me to fix the next. If I fix singleplayer, people will just ask about something else. Like leagues, automated tournaments, more faces, bodytypes, backgrounds, new punches etc etc.
It just never stops.
I see your point with singleplayer though..but I think you overestimate its value for new players.
Singleplayer was there for years, and it didnt really bring more players in.

Well Singleplayer doesnt bring in more players it keeps the new/old players busy intil more fighters get online. New fighters will come here and there and they need something to practice with. And the fighters we have are ruthless to new comers. So once they get there ass beat they will just leave without coming back. You know they cant get the controls down in a day. If there a brand new it will take a bit to learn the controls and get better. Now Leagues and tournaments is something the community can do. We just need everybody to get on at the same time. More faces, boxer logos, body types, and customization stuff wouldnt be that bad. More variety of customization parts would make new fighters defintely roll in. A well made Tutorial on how to fight is a must. Its like trying to play Street Fighter to be honest with you. Yeah you can set the controls however you like them but it doesnt really show you which buttons does which action. We dont need another background, the one we have is fine. And we dont need more punches, all of the punches that are provided is great.

"John represents the renaissance of OB. John stepped up and filled the vacuum Fatny left behind. Not only his skills are amazing, also his dedication to keep this game interesting and alive. I was there when he first won the title, I was watching over his shoulder when he bullied all competition, I was there when he became a HOF´er. I may not be a great fighter myself, but I do have eye for talent. John is something special, I told him right after he won his first title. John is the spark that became a flame that turned into a devastating fire. Apart from being a great guy he never stepped down from a challenge and always looked to square off against OB´s best to further improve his skills. Many HOF´ers made short comebacks during the year John reigned OB, only to be knocked out by Big Bad John." - Dick E. Boon

"The thing with John is that he's just so extremely accurate, both in offense and in defense. There's some punches I consider myself a master of, like the small hook and the long upper. Well they're useless against John no matter how well you throw them, he just keeps blocking 90% of them and hurting you in the process. Speaking of which...if he hurts you (and he will), you better move your head a lot because he also happens to be one of the best finishers i've ever seen. Basically if you're not extremely good AND creative, you'll end up on the floor. A fine addition to the hall of fame indeed." - Fatny

I agree with john.
I think Mikkel should prioritize good ideas like singleplayer and char customization. No need for more punches and "tournaments" for 3 players...
Game mechanics are very good as it is, now it is just a question of attracting and most importantly keeping new players.
I have seen alot on new faces in the last months but most of them dont come back as they are unable to learn punches or for any other reason.
Also I feel like this could be the real rebirth of OB as alot of old guys are coming back and you have done a great job to fix bugs, so keeping the new players would be critical.

I am just giving my feedback, I like the game as it is, but it just needs more players it deserves.

Another thing, if you decide to advertise this game it probably makes more sense to advertise it for the boxing fans and boxers than the average gamer crowd. I found this game because I was searching for a
" boxing game", not "fighting game" or "action game".

Hey Titan,

I am sorry, I was overly harsh. I just think we should be more appreciative of Mikkel's efforts.
