Thanks for all the detailed feedback — this update comes straight from it. • Promotion progression overhaul: leagues now rise and fall based on their real financial health, so promotions can climb the tiers instead of only sliding down over time. Your fighters will always have somewhere to compete, even deep into a long career. • Fixed a VIP weekend issue where swiping away the "approach a fighter" screen could replay the event and book a fighter into two bouts on the same night. • New careers now start with the intended $1,000 in funding. Keep the reports coming — they genuinely shape the game. — Eladan Games

What's New Contract Fixes Fixed a bug where promotions that dropped to the local circuit could still hold contracted fighters, generating bizarre lowball renewal offers. Those promotions now properly release their roster — affected fighters become free agents and you'll get an inbox notification for each one. Scheduled events for collapsed promotions are now cancelled cleanly instead of lingering on the calendar. Gym Variety Retired fighters opening new gyms now pick a philosophy that matches their fighting style. A retired wrestler opens a wrestling gym, a retired boxer opens a striking gym, and so on — with variety even between founders of the same style. This fixes the issue where the world filled up with "Just bleed" brawl gyms by Year 4 onwards. Submission System Three overlapping bugs in the guillotine choke system fixed. Submission defense is now actually read when defending takedown counters, the choke progression uses the right fighter's stats on each side, and shallow chokes no longer trigger near-instant finishes on pulled-guard transitions. Result: a fighter with strong submission defense will now escape opportunistic guillotines from low-skill strikers most of the time — as you'd expect. Big thanks to everyone reporting issues on the subreddit. Detailed bug reports with screenshots and saves are what make these fixes possible — keep them coming.
