Pound for Pound Demo: MMA Promotion Simulator · published
New Features
- Native MacOS version of the game.
- Native Linux version of the game. Linux players can now run the game without relying on a compatibility layer.
- Marketing now scales with the size of your promotion. Run Community, Statewide, Regional, or National campaigns, each with an appropriate reach and Promotional Capital cost.
- Fighter Overall grades have been slightly re-tuned to reflect their in-cage abilities.
- Marketing campaigns now offer three approaches. Each provides a different balance of reliability and potential effectiveness.
- Individual Scouting is back. Target one specific fighter from their profile or Free Agency and receive an immediate report, with the Promotional Capital cost based on their Star Power.
- Scheduled events can now be cancelled from the calendar or Card Builder. Cancelling releases the fighters, but Promotional Capital and already-published promotional effects are not refunded.
- You can now vacate a championship from the Champions screen, Rankings, or the champion’s profile. The vacancy and its consequences are reflected immediately throughout your promotion.
Improvements
- The fight engine has been tuned so elite Fight IQ and Clinch Control matter more. Smart fighters make better reads and exploit openings, while skilled clinch fighters more consistently control close-range exchanges.
- Talent, roster, and matchup lists now include home-state filters and an International category. You can also search your roster and Free Agency by hometown city.
- The opening progression is now called Founding rather than Tutorial.
A new Gameplay settings tab lets you control tutorials and restore the Sim to Event confirmation prompt.
- Card finalization messages now name the specific matchups that still need confirmation.
