Hi
Having been making this game in various guises for the past 30 years (yes it’s true) I am more than aware of what it is like when we update to a new version.
We are a player led game. That means that our player comments go towards us incrementally improving the game.
Thus rather than say it’s shit etc let’s use a thread to say precisely and constructively what it is that’s an issue with this version and work through through it to fix it so the game works to all players satisfaction.
Leave your constructive comments here please and I look forward to both hearing and resolving people’s concerns.
Sorry just to clarify, this means there will be an option to not host shows and go back to the way things were with single fights rather than shows this week?
We have the update for single fight (ie non show fights) this week.
It was supposed to be out end of last week but got held up bug fixes.
This allows shows to be made but also for managers to be offered single fights from other promoters and in other situations. Largely this is the same as previous single fights.
There will then be a further mode to come once we have got those two working together.
A major problem I am experiencing and hearing is the increased load times. I am having to wait 3-5 minutes each time I advance. On my iPad Pro save the game just crashes every time I advance.
My personal experience is the addition of shows actually slows down the flow of play and makes it more confusing when booking fights. The reality is this change is a step backwards and doesn’t reflect the additions the community were really asking for (mandatory fights etc).
Ok.
Performance is an odd one and I’m running some tests as the same product as Ringisde is running just fine. I will run some diagnostics as there shouldn’t be any difference but clearly is.
As for what people ask for shows and cards was by far and away the most asked for feature in our last survey of 3000 customers. we will be doing a new one soon.
We will improve/fix the fight creation flow this week both in terms of the shows but also single fights and then look at releasing the title engine update and everything else.
Having started a new universe with the update, after my first show one of my fighters isn’t getting a ranking anywhere, despite winning his first fight.
This means he can’t be booked on any shows, and as he has the most followers, I’m assuming I should use him to headline the show.
Which reminds me, having the ability to move fights up & down a card would be great
Hey guys I see it was updated I have a game that I have been going on for a loooong time I’m wondering if I start a new game will my old one be there like is there now a way to have 2 at once ???
the shows feature is dreadful. as a new player it’s just a very slow process, no more motivation to play. maybe it’s “what people asked for” in some survey but it’s been implemented shoddily. just another process.
Ok and like everything with the game will be iterated until it works…
As you’ll learn/already appreciate, we are a player led game and yes, we do things like surveys (!) to find out what players want.
And yes we have then have to make it so people like it and if they don’t we work out why and what and fix it. That’s the process here.
However, fundamentally what we endeavour to do (and occasionally by not getting it right first time) is make a game that both we and others want to play.
Since the update the game is taking 3-5 mins to load and as well as that I have made a show but it is not showing any fights that I have added to the show
Ok. We have heard some things around performance and are checking the data at our end. Can you provide details on device and game world year.
We have various releases out this week to address the concerns in this thread and more widely so the more info I get the better the chance that we work out what it is and find a solution.
With regard to the show issue, we havent been able to replicate this but will take a look. In the meantime you can delete the show in the Options menu.
Just one thing on iPad and whilst iPad does work on BM it is only as an iPhone app. The UI fixes which are with Apple at the moment will make this look a lot better on this device but it is nevertheless still the equivalent of something (don’t quote me) of the iPhone 14 experience.
For what it’s worth last week we released the first native iPad version of the game on Ringside. This also works with Silicon Macs. They’re our first small release of a “big” screen version. We have more content to switch on in them but bugs and priority fixes come ahead of that for the small moment.
we will be doing a new one soon.
