Seems that the sparring partners got juiced as well. Try starting a new career on hard mode. Boxing training partner is a giant with super speed - and their aggression is anywhere from 0% (will not throw strikes when task is to ‘evade strikes’) to normal for some tasks and to %200 when tasks and ‘land more overhands’ and they tag you with three punch combo a before you can throw a jab.
The contender series fight has become a test of patience and luck. The opponent will side step many punches with such effectiveness as to be behind you while you are still completing the jab they dodged. I watched an opponent’s block go up while I was in full mount pounding on their head.
Hard mode is just a complete mess now.
