Undisputed developer, Steel City Interactive, continues to prioritize community feedback and rolled out another patch today. This one adjusts stamina, increases damage in certain situations and provides some more bug fixes.
The update also provides balance adjustments to 22 fighters, including Ryan Garcia, Josh Taylor and Joe Joyce to better reflect their real-life characteristics. As the early access phase continues, the development team will keep updating fighter balancing based on player feedback. So keep it coming.
The development team continues investigating online disconnects and the latest patch should address some of those issues. The team is committed to banning players who are caught cheating and acknowledge there is still work to be done.
Check out the patch notes below along with some more information from the dev team specific to gameplay.
We’ve also seen a lot of feedback around what happens inside the ring. Particularly around head and body health, stamina balancing, AI, and body uppercuts. Over the next few updates, you can expect to see changes made to the health system, adjusted targeting for body uppercuts so that they can’t be so easily abused, and AI improvements which will continue to be expanded on throughout the course of early access.
With stamina usage and other balancing, we have to strike a good balance for both online and offline play, which sometimes necessitates making balance adjustments only alongside other changes, such as improving the AI so that it’s more capable of reacting to and maintaining its stamina levels in a way that players can. That being said, this update does contain a small adjustment for stamina (see notes below), and you can expect to see further adjustments to stamina throughout the course of early access.
- Increased base flash knockout chance.
- Increased the chance of cuts or bruises occurring.
- Increased damage to cuts and bruises.
- Increased stamina usage for power punches.
- Increased damage dealt by hooks to the head.
- Increased damage dealt to block health.
