The MMA Manager Game

- Improved ability tree. A learned ability now goes straight into a free slot. Tap Auto set in the tree menu and his three strongest abilities are put in for you. In fight camp, choose Let the coach choose and the coach picks what to work on. If you never set a target, the coach picks anyway. Physical abilities can now be learned in camp like any other. - Ability requirements now match real careers. Intermediate abilities open after a handful of professional fights, advanced ones around ten to fifteen, and elite ones at fifteen to twenty, about where a real contender sits. Championship Volume, Chess Master and Legacy Fighter ask for two title fights instead of a fight count. - Matchmaking climbs the ladder. Ranked fighters get ranked opponents. A top five fighter is matched with someone in the top ten and will wait for one. Your own fight offers lean the same way. - Promotion rankings improved. A fighter's rank counts what he has done in that promotion. New signings start behind everyone who has already fought there, and the step up to the biggest promotions asks for a proper record. - Contracts no longer freeze a fighter. When a deal ends with no renewal on the table, he is a free agent that week. If a renewal is offered, the old promotion's matching window is eight weeks, not a year, and other promotions can bid in the meantime. Every contract change arrives as a CONTRACT UPDATE letter. - Fighters age. An older fighter now slows down in the cage because of his age, not because of how many fights he has had. - Fighters ask to retire. - Two crashes fixed: one in the matchmaker list, one when retiring a fighter from the health screen.
