Another big update beyond todays UI and crash fixes.
Next up the single fight update to go with the show fights.
Following that some more bug stuff to get the really elusive ones and the fix for Approaches and gym movement.
I’d love to see more details in the commentary, like “left hook, right uppercut, nice combination, devastating body shot, etc.”

Just DL’d the update, and the fight screen looks much better now on the iPad mini.
But I think the version before had fixed the XP Growth Screen so that you could see the descriptions of the different stats, but that is gone again now (unless I’m going mad and it has changed at all since the update!)
The scouting screen is still not showing the text descriptions either.
The old version displayed fine, so I’m thinking If it works on an iPhone, is there a way of running it is an an iphone app on an ipad? Or does the ipad fix the aspect and there’s nothing I can do to override it?
Thanks
The UI is significantly fixed in 2.03.00
Single fights are back now as of this morning in 2.03.01
Approach fixes and the final crashes next.
We believe the issue relates to amateurs who have turned pro and are investigating further .
I’ve updated and I’m not able to book any single fights no matter how many weeks I sim. It shows no fights available for all my fighters and now they are complaining about not having fights.
One more update and we’re there…I think. Its in with Apple and out later 2.03.03
Hi I am also getting alot of fighters with a hometown of nowhere UK
Yeah. I’ve noticed the incidence and been looking this morning. I’ve worked out how they come in thankfully. All these niggly bugs are a pain but will have that fixed for next release.
Glad to have the release today tbh which I think gets rid of a lot of crash issues.
We have a modified version of signing fighters back tomorrow hopefully.
I’m pretty surprised at so much negative feedback. Since playing ringside for so long I simply couldn’t go back to organising single fights. That now feels like half a game
The feedback was negative as there were a ton of bugs & display issues. They are getting fixed, but it seems like it wasn’t ready for release TBH
The other aspect is for ipad users like myself we can’t really play the game any more: it sounds like we were lucky in a way that the display worked before, but now you can’t read a lot of the text so you can’t do a lot of things with confidence.
And without flogging a dead horse, it’s such a different game it really should have been a new app - I can see how much work has gone into it, and updating peoples existing purchases is very generous, overly so TBH.
Everything will get fixed, but the shock of it being such a different game and that there were a lot of issues, including making a game which I and other iPad owners had paid for and used for years effectIvely unplayable because of the GUI, is why the feedback was so bad
I hear you man. I wasn’t talking about the bugs, more so the shift in game. It feels like a massive upgrade to me, and for free. But yeah, it could well have been boxing manager 3. I don’t think anyone could have complained. It could have meant the previous game being unsupported however.
Thanks for all the. comments.
All I’ll say is that the majority of bugs have been fixed inside a week with more to come.
We’ve reinstated in (what I hope and believe is) an improved fashion the single fight stuff with sign fighter/approaches improvement to come today.
We’ve now managed to migrate 99pc of all save games.
On iPad.
3pc of players use iPad. It was a miracle it worked previously. Sorry it didn’t last week but we never supported it. However, last week we also released the first native iPad and (macOS) version on RS.
Totally disagree that is such a different game. However, that is my error in making it seem and feel as such.
Out later today 2.04.00

i dont know if this is a problem or not but
This is the only fight i can do and it doesnt have a name and it isnt even my fighters even tho they are booked
Is there anyway we can get are fighters not to decline past the age of 30 so fast I feel like my fighters ages of 30 and up are not the same when fighting weaker opponents just sucks cause I feel like that should be there prime ages
Fighters age is really less of a factor that age by fights, rounds and damage sustained. It is a factor but a relatively small factor alongside the other stuff.
Agree on the 30 + being prime and again it really is a question of number of fights that is the factor here. Over 30 fights is where the ageing factoring takes place in the game and late 30s and 40s where it starts to really become an issue.

Long time player since original version. Started a new save for this new update to have shows which i think is a great idea and much more realistic. At the moment i seem to be losing £25k per show and not sure how it’s sustainable as will be bust way before get near a title shot. Would love to know thoughts on best way to run shows?
Other thoughts is I find the comparison screen and the in fight screens less user friendly and harder to compare strengths and weaknesses as well as the momentum in a fight which were always quite easy and clear for user in previous versions.
One bug I’ve found I started game opened gym UK and USA and when I’ve signed fighters for Uk Gym they have somehow ended up in USA gym
