Boxing was always around but the developer of that games seems to have faded away. Which is a shame since that fighting engine was really good, just needed a management game around it.
I remember people haaaaaated 6.5, then everyone loved it because it wasn’t 2k7. It took a couple years of getting all the features of 6.5 back into the new engine for folks to accept the new iteration. IIRC the 6 and 6.5 hate came down to the game’s inclusion of DIPS.

My first version was 3 but it was really 5 that I started playing to the exclusion of other baseball games.
