make your own boxer is coming

Soon B2G will have a gym's protege system. You will be able to create one amateur boxer and fight with other online user's protege or AI's in near real time using fight plans.

It is not randomly generated boxer like Roll your own, you control all attributes and the name. The boxer will be 18 years old.

It is not like real time blitz, you will need fight plan. Your protege will be in your stable. Protege's attribute range will be visible to everyone as if you had 4* scout on him for a long time.

As you fight with this boxer you will be able to add him to your gym as a pro, but only if he has perfect amateur fight record. You can do it after winning
4 fight in a row, + 2 extra points to distribute prior to moving to pro
9 fights in a row, + 3 extra points ......
16..., +4 extra points
25..., +5
36...,+6
49....,+7
64...,+8
81....,+9
100... + 10 extra points.

But if you lose a fight the protege loses interest and disappears. So if you won 4 in a row but chose to not turn pro yet and then lost your 5th fight you will lose him, you must get to 9 wins in a row to get a chance to turn pro again. You can then create a new one.

Basically you can approach any gym online that has protege and choose fightplan to use against him and that gym can accept or reject a fight. If accepted fight takes place at immediately using chosen fight plans (as long as both boxers still exist - have not lost a fight, nor turned pro).

And until boxers turn pro they do not age, staying at 18. Also all start as middleweights, but you can choose which division to move as you turn pro. Your height and weight will be adjusted proportionally. So a tall and heavy middleweight will be a tall and heavy superweight if you want to go to that division. Also you can only fight against the same manager once for a protege.

Sounds good Pav

this all sounds great . Only question I'd ask is would it tilt people toward avoiding fighting higher ranking managers if one loss means back to square one ?

Of course, but I would rather protect new players. A assume veteran players armed with scout data could always find other veteran player over whom they have an advantage and approach them as well.
You will run our of opponents since you can only fight against a single manager once with a particular protege, well twice if that other manager ask for a rematch. But it could be an option to spend many real world days getting assured wins...I expect some managers to feed on newbies and take that long road.
I want some way for smarter newbies have a chance to say no. This really is a way to create your own boxers and secondary mini-game to a main game. You can always turn pro after few fights.

interesting , have been backing away from the non-tourney side of things but may have to give this a go
