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.
