It'd be nice to have some little improvement or addition that didn't delay the release.
After 2.6 is out, we customers would like some conditional guarantee that version 3.0 will be a worthwhile improvement over 2.6. For years now we've been told that 3.0 would have a career option. Many casual visitors here have stated flatly that they won't even consider buying a future version of Title Bout that doesn't allow for that option. As for me, I'm not even sure what that would really entail. What elements could you add that would satisfy the majority of present and future owners who demand a "career" option?
I don't care about tracking purses or the accumulation of winnings. I don't want to form boxing "leagues" as though this were baseball. I don't really care about knowing what goes on in a boxer's private life.
A career option for me would be simply adding injury tracking and commission-enforced out-of-action timetables and reports so I know who can't fight. It might mean me selecting a limited number of fighters for my stable while other managers and promoters controlled by the AI would manipulate the hundreds of others. It would probably mean the AI adding fighters to the mix based on career start dates and pulling them out based on the auto-aging system. It would likely mean some sort of periodic "news" reporting of at least major fights, and some sort of graded scouting reports for potential opponents.
That's just me. I have no idea what percentage of the others would be happy with that. You just can't possibly please everyone.
I think you'd have to post possible options and ask everyone to vote on the four or five most essential that would definitely be added to the future version. This would satisfy the majority and limit your workload.

I agree with this all the way.
