Pure MMA: Manager

Processing speed improvements.

Free agency, rebuilt. You can now sign fighters who are already under promotion contracts — the fighter who needs a manager isn't always the one without a job. Every free agent now comes with a real career behind them: record, history, and a reputation you can scout. The higher the level, the fewer are available, so scouting to find the ones worth chasing matters more than ever. Also in this update: • Reworked scouting filters — search by fighting discipline and quality band to find exactly the fighter you're looking for • Fixed a bug that stopped you signing fighters at the same reputation level as your agency • Free agency now populates properly from your chosen starting scenario, from day one

Top-tier fighters now get the attention they deserve. Fixed a bug where international and global level fighters could go long stretches — sometimes their whole careers — without receiving contract offers from promotions. Elite fighters will now be scouted and offered contracts properly. Also new in this update: • Multiple save slots — run several careers at once • New starting scenarios — begin at different difficulty levels and tiers • Reworked agency reputation — your standing now reflects your recent track record

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.
