Alpha 0.2 — 15 September 2026

Live Tuesday 15 September, around 8 pm Paris time. Every save is deleted but the alpha stays open : you will have to start a new save.

Broadcasting

NEW Diffusion tab

• New tab for carriers and deals.
• Broadcaster list filtered by type.
• 60+ broadcasters: free-to-air, cable, regional, streaming, pay-per-view, video sites.
• Five deal types: flat fee per show, per viewer, fee plus ratings bonus, share of the gate, carriage only.
• A real market for the broadcasters where rival orgs bid in real time.

NEW Broadcast staff

• Broadcast officer: rights window alerts, negotiation above a set floor.
• Commentary crew of five: play-by-play, colour commentator, desk host, broadcast analyst, cage announcer.
• Booth chemistry

Staff

• Rival orgs now try to buy out some of your Staff. More Staff events.
• Retiring fighters can join the staff: commentary, analysis, scouting, matchmaking or finance.

Press

• Journalists remember how they are treated
• Accreditation for journalists of your choosing.

Money

• Ticket prices follow the value of the night.

Alpha 0.1.3 — 31 August 2026 — Un-credible Custom Orgs

Standing

• Credibility works and evolves for custom orgs.
• Every completed show tells you what it did to your standing, and why.

Rankings

• Rank movement shows for your own fighters. The arrows had only ever appeared for other promotions' men.

Fighters

• A fighter turning down your offer only names a promotion genuinely chasing him.
• A promotion that cuts a man does not sign him back the following week.
• Callouts come from men close enough to mean it. Low-ranked fighters were calling out champions.

Your promotion

• A promotion you create hosts all eight weight classes. Flyweight was missing from the advisor. Affected saves are repaired on load.

Interface

• The Advisor's market shows each man's age.
• Prestige, Credibility and Stability were in English on the promotion panel in every language.

Alpha 0.1.2 — 31 August 2026 — Financial Advisor Is Your New Best Friend

Much bigger batch than I anticipated, but here we are.

Contracts

• Every deal now carries your financial officer's read.
• His verdict is on the payroll, on the dossier, on the fighter's own profile and in the negotiation window. You no longer have to open a negotiation to find out what a negotiation would cost.
• Hand the paperwork over. Tick the deals you cannot face and the officer settles them himself. He comes back only when it matters: a raise beyond what he will approve on his own authority, or a deal the promotion cannot carry.
• The weekly contracts letter is a worksheet now, not a list. Every man who is due, his price, the officer's read, and a choice on each row.
• A standing order for the ones that are not really decisions: switch it on and any man on his last contracted fight is re-signed at whatever he asks, without asking you.
• A renewal is priced as a renewal. Your own fighter was being quoted at what a rival would have to pay to prise him away.
• No purse, and no demand, can exceed $300,000. A fighter could previously be paid more than any offer was allowed to reach, which made him impossible to price.

Fighters and opinions

• A man who has been booked to lose three fights running will write to you about it. His answer depends on his personality type.
• Promises have a clock and negative consequences (sometimes huge).
• Talk now has something to say to an unhappy fighter. Promising him a fight he can win is a real commitment, on the same clock, with the same consequences for breaking it.

Scouting

• A fighter's Development and Relations tabs are now hidden unless fully scouted.

Booking

• The fighter list shows how long each man has been out.
• Granting a title shot books the title shot. The button opens the card with that one fight on it, instead of sending you off to find it.
• A fighter who asks to be stepped up is offered opponents ranked above him. He asked for harder work.
• A contender only demands a title shot when the fight could actually be made — no more being asked for a bout the champion is injured or already booked for.

Fighters

• A fighter's profile says when he last fought: the show, the month, and how long ago.
• Injuries are a badge you hover or tap, not four lines of red under names anymore.

Finances

• The bonus policy card shows the mean and the median purse on your roster.

Fight night

• You can skip a single round instead of the whole fight. The round still plays out in the log and on the scorecards — you just skip the waiting.
• The pundits are now more varied. A heavy favourite gets a near-unanimous panel, a coin flip splits it, and the panel is a different size and a different room every fight.

Interface

• The dashboard's roster tile counts unhappy fighters beside active and injured.
• The dashboard's warnings are translated. They had been English in every language.

Fixes

• The game no longer goes to a white screen if your browser offers to translate the page and you accept. It was most likely on the inbox, and it took the whole screen with it.
• Fight odds no longer change between the poster and the walkout.
• A contract letter arrived for every bout on a card. One letter, one fighter, one week.
• Promises made to a fighter who was later released, retired or poached stayed on your books for ever.
• A fighter with a fight booked no longer retires on the spot. Failing to talk him out of it used to pull him off a scheduled card and leave the bout one-cornered.
• The training matrix said “T” and “C”; I changed the labels for clarity.

Alpha 0.1.1 — 28 August 2026 — Bro Thought He Was Signing With Apex

Booking

• Main event and co-main can now be booked over five rounds without a title.
• Bout rows show each fighter's rank in the division.
• Fighter records on bout rows are green and red, like everywhere else.
• Editing a bout no longer reorders the card.

Contracts

• Signing class prospects no longer hold out for a bigger promotion while they are exclusively yours.
• Free agents no longer refuse you for a promotion that would never sign them.
• Removed the roster limit shown in the advisor (which you never had btw).

Interface

• The host city window now fits on smaller screens; its confirm button sat below the bottom edge.
• Windows across the game now fit the screen instead of running off it.
• The transfer market opens on “Reluctant or better” instead of “Interested or better”.

Fixes

• Fight odds in the advisor were priced over five rounds for every main event, whatever its real length.
