Bit of a gripe + feedback but the defensive training is extremely shallow. You're immediately put into critical state and a single punch lays out out. If you're in a small playing space it's nearly impossible to make 30 seconds on hard+ where even a fast jab from the opponent can drop you. If you're in a big space, you're not defending at all - you're dancing around the ring keeping distance instead of actually trying anything defensive if you want to actually get the full benefit of the training.

I dunno what sort of impact the stat numbers have on career gameplay, but it seems like there little reason outside of trying to keep your chin strong to even do the defense training...offensive at least has you trying different (sometimes questionable) combos, and Sparring gives you benefits on both sides. Would be great to see Defensive training improved so it's at least fun to do without tanking your stat progression due to a very flimsy OHKO mechanic.

Hey Lynnwood - I'm looking for folks in the area that might be interested in playing some tennis occasionally. I've only been able to play very casually with my partner every 2-3 weeks, and I'm hoping to find folks to play with more often.

I'd probably rate myself 2.5 - 3.0, but I love playing regardless of skill, want to improve, and don't mind getting stomped if it gets me a good workout and some practice. Couple open courts near me are Lynnwood HS and Mountlake Terrace HS, but open to something elsewhere too.

Would also love to see if there are existing groups of friends/players I could join up with if there are any regular meetups already happening in the area!

Hey all, just posting to ask if there's a solution to all my AI boxer opponents being in default red gear - doesn't matter if it's training or a bout, they look correct in the office prepping for the match but always have red gear when the match starts. Thanks!

Hey all, wondering if anyone has a solution for this. I bought an Arctis 9X awhile back and linked it to my Series X. I ended up preferring the Xbox Headset and hadn't used the Arctis in some time. Now, I have some PC games I want to play with friends and I was able to pair my 9X with my PC no problem via bluetooth.

The trouble is, this damn thing is still paired to my XBOX downstairs, and turns it on every single time I turn on the headset. I have not after 90 minutes of searching and trying different things been able to stop this from occurring. Things I have tried so people will NOT recommend them again:

1. Holding the Arctis 9X power button - 6, 10, 15, 30 seconds...doesn't matter, when the pair process stops or I turn it off and on again, it's still assigned to my XBOX.

2. Arctis 9X reset button - Found the button on the right side headphone. All it does is turn off the headset, it does NOT factory reset it no matter how long its been held. There is no button on the left side.

3. Forgetting it on on my XBOX: When going to devices and accessories, the headset shows up as a generic headset. I am not able to select a "Forget" option or anything. Just reassign it or turn it off. No other options.

4. Resetting my XBOX: The last nuclear option I tried was resetting my whole damn XBOX, meaning all settings should have been wiped. When I got through setting it up again, as soon as it turned on the Arctis 9X, it was recognized.

I should also note this is ONLY happening with my Series X; I also have a Series S in the same room, but it does not link to that machine. I'm getting so pissed I want to bin this thing rather than mess with it anymore. If anyone has solved this, please lemme know. Thank you!
