What Would A Good "Patch" Be To You?

Tomato Can · 12-18-2009, 08:49 AM

I have been part of this community for almost four years now and love the game! Along with everyone else, I have been waiting for an upgrade, update, or patch for a while and following the discussions concerning waiting for the "new patch." Just wondering, if you could get a new patch with ONLY two updates, what would you want most added, changed, or fixed. Remember ONLY two, here are mine:

1. I wish the game was a little more like ootp where I controlled my boxer or stable while the "Universe (AI)" CONTROLLED EVERYONE ELSE. In ootp baseball, you control YOUR team, while the AI controls the others. I realize this would probably require a complete rewrite, so it would never happen, but I would like that.

2. I wish the game kept track of injuries and forced boxers to "sit out" when needed, the same way ootp forces players out if injured. This would add a neat element to trying to move your fighters up as injuries to them and those you want them to fight "get in the way."

I have others, but I really like those two. How about you?

1) A scheduling interface that allows us to set parameters and then create a calendar of fights. I have a lot of ideas as do others so this could be fleshed out pretty well.

2) Track purse earnings and be able to adjust for era.

3) Allow for longer round fights including finish fights.

Sorry about adding a third.

1. A better scheduling system. I will defer to what Chris said. I really like the scheduler that Jade is working on and think it will help provide additional interest in the game once he has finished it.

2. I would also like the injury/random events to happen and be tracked by the game.

More differentiation in the commentary between 4 and 5 point punches.

a universal "skip conditioning checks" button in the main options (unless there already is one and im missing it?)

Injury tracking

Longer bouts and finish fights

For me

1-Historically accurate purses and 20 round fights

2-special events/injuries (Would need a "calendar" system for this)

From Hanson Bros

1) fighter can't do a strategy more than he is rated for it -> if he has a 2 as fight inside then the most he could do it for in a 10 round fight is twice

2) finally fix the purses ... I still get $100 purse for everyone of my fights with the dates that I am using ... it would be great if it would be historically accurate and also keep track of how much a fighter has made

if I had a third thing it would be tracking injuries and being able to be more specific in the auto scheduler

i wish a chekbox option to hide the ratings, i love to create fictional universe or tournaments, and i dont want to see who have 14 or 15 on his ratings..

1. I like the longer bouts idea.
2. A better scheduler (the one we have has made the game much better) with some kind of calendar. I some how have ended up with fights that are not in chronological order.

I do like the chronological calendar idea. A few years ago I tried one of the "Boxing Manager" games that was going around. The game was not that great. No where as good as TBCB, but it did have that calendar feature where you moved to the "next day". As it did move to the next day, you got emails from "promoters, trainers, etc" offering advice, insight and even fight offers from other fighters, etc.

That's kind of what I am talking about when I say that I'd like to see the in game progression be a little more like the baseball game (ootp). I don't want to control EVERY fighter in the game, just mine. Does that make sense?

1] Historically accurate purses and the ability to keep track of them

2] The ability to keep track of injuries

1) A disabled list that sets number of days out of action and allows you to track all injured fighters.

2) An upgraded fight screen showing titles fought for, improved fight sounds and correct animations.
