Patch Notes: Save File Protection, Commentary Improvements & Bug Fixes

New Features

  • Your save files are now protected against unexpected failures. The game keeps a backup of your previous save, and if something goes wrong while saving, you'll be notified with options to retry or manage your save files.

Improvements

  • Fight commentary has been improved with proper post-fight recaps, title fight-specific dialogue, and context-aware main event and championship round commentary.
  • Ticket demand projections now show a transparent breakdown of contributing factors including Card Quality, Market Appetite, Brand Prestige, and Hometown Hero bonuses.
  • Fighters who change weight classes now appear in their new division's rankings immediately instead of being invisible until their first bout.

Bug Fixes

  • Tier upgrade screens now display star power names (like "Local Draw" or "Established") instead of raw numbers.
  • Fixed a crash that could trap you in the bidding war modal when a fighter was already signed.
  • Fixed champions retaining their title after changing weight classes, which left the belt permanently stuck.
  • Fixed ticket demand projections showing different numbers on different screens for the same event.
  • Fixed title defense milestones only counting the current reign instead of all historical title defenses.
  • Fixed contender rankings being off by one when a champion exists in the division.
  • Fixed rankings not updating immediately after signing or releasing a fighter.
  • Fixed the free agency list not refreshing after signing a fighter through the profile modal.
  • Fixed the streak indicator spoiling match results before the reveal animation.
  • Fixed the fight position indicator always showing the red corner on top regardless of actual position.
  • Fixed skill tree upgrades being blocked by token debt when purchasing with legacy points.
  • Fixed marketing campaign spending not being deducted from your token balance.
  • Fixed the Efficient Scouting skill not reducing scouting costs.
  • Fixed event history showing zero weeks between events in the prestige scorecard.
  • Fixed scouting reports showing an empty Strengths section.
  • Fixed sponsor contract clauses incorrectly evaluating after title changes within the same event.
  • Fixed various commentary errors including mismatched fighter references and incorrect round assumptions for title fights.
  • Fixed an issue where judge scorecards could appear flipped when the blue-corner fighter won, so split and majority decisions now display in a consistent, easier-to-read fighter order.
  • The post-event exclusive signing window no longer silently fails when your division roster is full.
  • Fixed a contract-state issue that could make one of your own fighters appear scoutable even though they still had fights left on their deal.
  • Free agency and fighter quick views now do a better job recognizing when a fighter already belongs to your promotion, so rostered fighters should no longer show up as unsigned because of stale data.
