We have added a “Create a fighter” feature. This is now accessible within the WORLD menu in the dashboard. EXCLUSIVE: You can create unlimited custom fighters within the Ringside app. Thanks for your support. This feature builds on the current Add a son functionality by allowing the player to add any number of fighters to be added to the game. All custom fighters are created as rookies(0-0). A player can at present select weight, names, birth town, country, general emphasis of attributes as well as a broad indication of the fighter’s quality/overall status. Fighters will be added to the current game as unsigned fighters. There is no limit on the number of custom fighters that a player can add to a game. As with all fighters in the game, they have to await a ranking before they are scheduled to fight. 
All custom fighters are automatically followed by the game. To view followed fighters, go to the Rankings screen to view your shortlist. We welcome feedback as we develop this out further and see how players use it and make suggestions.

***Gym and trainer update!*** Fighter’s can now move gyms within their country of origin. To move gym. Go to the fighter’s Training screen. Full details below and on Forum and Discord server. Added a fighter/trainer rapport mechanic to the game. A stronger rapport between the fighter and trainer leads to better training effects and increased chances of attribute growth. Additionally, the better the rapport, the fewer XP points are required to increase attribute values. Conversely the poor fighter/trainer rapport leads to a slower attribute growth through training. Improved quality of attributes when creating a son. Updated the emphasis effect when creating a son. Improved trainer UI Changed background colour for rankings on matchmaker screen. Fixed issue whereby Hong Kong could not be selected as the city name when using Hong Kong as a country. **Fighter Gym Movement and trainer change** Fighters can now move gyms under the following conditions: To move gym. Go to the fighter’s Training screen and hit the Move Gym button. - If they don’t have a fight scheduled. - If the new gym is in the same country as the fighter. - If the eligible gym has available spaces to accommodate the new fighter. The rapport between fighters and trainers is crucial. Managers should prioritise giving fighters the opportunity to work with trainers they share a good rapport with. Rapport is shown (thumbs up/down icon) on the single gym screen and in text description on the training screen. In essence, a stronger rapport enhances the potential impact on a fighter’s development. This is reflected in a higher likelihood of a positive change in the fighter’s training schedule. Conversely, a better rapport between trainer and fighter reduces the XP values required to improve fighter attributes compared to those with poor rapport. While you can move any fighter, it’s important to note that making changes that the fighter and trainer disagree with can negatively affect the relationship attribute between the player and manager. The game will warn you of this but it is the player’s choice.
