Universal Boxing Manager 1.3.4 BETA

Following maily the suggestions of Ken Goding (a good tester I have) I’ve made another build of the new 1.3.4 BETA. The latest change make the signup of the boxers more realistic: if you manager has unknown reputation, no matter how his negotiating skills are, he won’t be able to recruit the most powerful boxers. Then once you win more fights and your reputation increase, you’ll be able to recruit better ones. That way the game is well balanced and more challenging than before. Also the speed at which you gain/lose reputation is halved: before your reputation could rise too fast with just some victories in the low ranks…

NOTE: now potential skill has a slight chance to increase after every win, but only for one skill at time (and not like before where all skills could get a +1 after a win).

What’s New in 1.3.4

• manager boxers retirement now works correctly, when a old boxer retires, he gets removed from rankings and also a new young one is generated (that way you never run out of new talents to find)
• the training and health costs have been increased accordingly to the increased amount of money you get from the top10 fights
• boxer charisma now is influenced by the fight outcome: if you win it goes up, if you lose it goes down
• boxer’s skills advancement now depend mostly on training and not on fights results as before
• fixed a ranking bug that could show very young boxers in the top rankings without a proper record history
• now young boxers will have in general more potential skills than older ones
• now your manager reputation will be the main factor when signing up new boxer, that way you can’t easily sign the most powerful boxers during early stages of the game
