Title: Hotfix From Hell: Undisputed Drops an Update… and Drops the Ball

Well, well, well… look what the cat dragged in—a brand-new hotfix from Team Undisputed that managed to do the impossible: set the entire community on fire without throwing a single punch.

Earlier today, the developers proudly delivered this little gem of an announcement:

Hey fight fans!
We’re rolling out a quick hotfix today, details below

• Fixed an issue with Boxer’s robes not being able to be unequipped
• Fixed an issue in Kronk Gym with some textures not loading correctly
• Fixed a possible loss of input when disconnecting and reconnecting gamepads in the initial load sequence
• Updated Lobby Error messaging to be more accurate

Thanks for your continued support.
Undisputed

Touching. Heartwarming even. Unfortunately, somewhere between “quick hotfix” and “thanks for your continued support,” the devs apparently forgot one tiny step in software development:

TESTING. THE. UPDATE.

Because after downloading this so-called improvement, thousands of players were greeted not with boxing greatness… but with the digital equivalent of a toddler spinning in circles singing The Wheels on the Bus. The home screen loads, the little wheel spins, and spins, and spins—never logging in, never progressing, never letting anyone so much as sniff the main menu.

A hotfix that breaks the entire game? Bravo. Truly. A masterclass in how to jab your own community in the face.

Now, here’s where the plot thickens: reports are flying in that players on the West Coast seem to be able to play just fine—because apparently geography now determines game functionality. Oh, and PS5 players? Many of them are strolling into the game like it’s just another Tuesday. Wonderful. Because nothing says “balanced, stable update” like regional RNG on whether your game even boots.

So we’re left with the obvious question—the one every baffled, furious player is shouting right now:

What the F….. did they do?

Did someone at HQ trip over the server cable? Did they accidentally push the wrong build? Did the intern get left alone with the “Publish Hotfix” button? We may never know, but what we do know is the update dropped harder than a rookie who forgot to keep his hands up.

And until Team Undisputed actually acknowledges the problem—and maybe, possibly, tests the next fix before unleashing it on the public—the community is stuck staring at an infinitely spinning loading wheel that’s become more iconic than half the fighters on the roster.

Stay tuned. Assuming anyone can actually log in long enough to play.

—Mike Glove, TBCNews
Because somebody has to report the punches the dev team keeps throwing at their own players.

12/10/2025

We should have the option to bypass the update and play the old version until they fix this BS. SMH.....come on! I just saying they didn't test the update in the sandbox/ development environment?

TBCNews | Reported by Tim Jabs
“WHERE IN THE WORLD IS TY WALKER? — MIKE GLOVE WANTS ANSWERS”

In a developing story that absolutely no one had on their 2025 bingo card, local tough-talker and part-time hero Mike Glove has officially taken to the streets in search of one Ty Walker, who has apparently vanished faster than your paycheck on rent day.

According to highly stressed sources — namely Tantalus King, who phoned Mike late last night — a scheduled showdown between Tantalus and Walker was supposed to happen. The gloves were ready, the tension was real, and the trash talk had been preheated to a crisp 450 degrees.

There was just one problem:
Walker never replied.
Not a text.
Not a call.
Not even a “seen” notification.

He simply ghosted harder than an ex who still owes you money.

Tantalus claims he hasn’t heard from Walker since, leaving him confused, concerned, and slightly offended. After all, if you’re going to ditch a fight, at least send a polite “my bad bro” or a doctor’s note. Instead, Tantalus was left staring at his phone like it owed him child support.

That’s when Mike Glove — whose name alone implies he’s ready for conflict at any hour — sprang into action. He reportedly threw on his shoes, tightened his imaginary cape, and declared a full-scale Manhunt for Mr. Walker™.

Residents have described seeing Mike canvassing neighborhoods, peeking behind dumpsters, lifting patio furniture, and asking random passersby,

“Hey, you seen Walker? ’Bout yea tall, talks big, runs fast?”

As of press time, Ty Walker remains unlocated, unbothered, and presumably uninterested.

So now TBCNews asks the public:
Does anybody know where this man is at?
Is he hiding? Is he training? Is he napping aggressively?
Or did he simply remember he had laundry to do and never came back?

Stay tuned as Mike Glove continues his quest, Tantalus King practices his disappointed head shake, and Ty Walker… well, does whatever Ty Walker is doing — somewhere far, far away.

TBCNews will update the story as soon as Mike stops shouting at mailboxes.

Created Fighters Removed From Ranked: EA Announces Major Competitive Update

Reported by Mike Glove, TBCNews

In the wake of the massive 2.0 update, the fighting game community has been buzzing—first with excitement, and now with heated discussion—as EA has announced a major upcoming change to its ranked competitive ladder.

After reviewing post-update data and community feedback, the development team confirmed that Created Fighters will be removed from Ranked play, citing fairness concerns and an unhealthy shift in competitive balance.

A Good Idea With Unintended Consequences

When Created Fighters were first introduced into Ranked, the goal was clear:
allow players to bring their custom-built warriors—whether imported from Career Mode or crafted from scratch—onto the big stage of competitive matchmaking.

To keep things fair, EA implemented restrictions:
• Overall Rating capped at 85
• Traits reduced by one level

These safeguards were meant to ensure that handcrafted fighters didn’t overshadow the game’s standard roster. However, the data told a different story.

The Competitive Landscape Warps

According to EA, many players quickly discovered specific combinations of stats and traits that could turn Created Fighters into dominant forces. These optimized builds began to flood Ranked mode, leading to a cascade effect:

Players struggling against these min-maxed creations felt compelled to build their own versions just to stay competitive. What was meant to be an enjoyable customization option instead became a requirement for survival.

The result?
A Ranked environment that was increasingly unbalanced, repetitive, and frustrating—the very opposite of what competitive play should be.

The Final Decision: Removal

After evaluating multiple possible solutions, the development team concluded that the cleanest and most effective fix would be to remove Created Fighters from Ranked entirely.

This change is scheduled to go live in an update arriving mid to late December.

The team emphasized that this decision wasn’t made lightly but was ultimately necessary to restore fairness, variety, and fun to the game’s most competitive mode.

What’s Next?

Created Fighters will still be available in other modes, so players can continue building and battling with their personalized fighters outside of the Ranked arena.

As for Ranked, the upcoming update aims to refocus the mode on skill, strategy, and the official roster—ensuring a level playing field for all competitors.

Stay tuned for more updates as the December rollout approaches.
This is Mike Glove, reporting for TBCNews.

📰 TBCNews: “Tantalus King Gets Turned Into Christmas Leftovers”
Reported by the one and only Mike Glove — your favourite unbiased (barely) boxing journalist.

Ladies and gentlemen, creative fighters, sim-warriors, and innocent bystanders who only clicked this link for drama—have I got a spectacle for you today.

So someone in the gym yelled, “Yo, check out this footage!” and naturally I sprinted over like free pizza was involved. And what did I witness?
Tantalus King vs. Golden Boy—a cinematic masterpiece featuring drama, footwork, and the gradual disintegration of Tantalus’ face.

Let’s break down the action, shall we?

🥊 Golden Boy’s Jab: The Real Main Character

Now, I know we hype fighters, but in today’s episode, Golden Boy’s jab should honestly get its own fighter profile.
This thing wasn’t just a punch—it was a lifestyle. An ideology. A well-educated, tax-paying member of society.

Every time Tantalus tried to step in?
JAB
Every time Tantalus blinked?
JAB
Every time he thought about doing something productive?
DOUBLE JAB

By round two, Tantalus King wasn’t fighting Golden Boy anymore—he was fighting existential questions.

🥇 Golden Boy: Certified Back-Foot Scholar

Let’s talk strategy.
Golden Boy put on a clinic in back-foot boxing.
Man floated like he was late to work and avoiding the boss in the hallway.

Meanwhile, Tantalus King said,

“I’m gonna cut off the ring.”
And the ring said,
“No, you’re not.”

Golden Boy glided around the edges, whispering sweet nothings with that jab and turning Tantalus’ face into premium-grade hamburger meat.

😬 Tantalus King: The Brave, The Bold… The Confused

Listen, Tantalus has been feeling great in the gym lately. Hitting pads like a menace. Shadowboxing like he’s auditioning for a movie.
But when Golden Boy showed up with that long-range artillery?

Tantalus’ brain:

“We prepared for this.”
Reality:
“No, you didn’t.”

Look, he did make it a close fight. He landed some shots. He showed heart. He showed grit.
But mostly?
He showed that he really hates fighting on the outside.

🥊 Final Verdict

And so, the judges, the fans, the birds outside, and the ghost of boxing legends all agree:

Golden Boy stands victorious over Tantalus King.

Is this the end of Tantalus?
Will he return stronger?
Will he learn to deal with a jab before his face becomes a seasonal smoothie?

Tune in next time on TBCNews, where your boy Mike Glove continues to deliver the spicy truth—fresh, unfiltered, and probably slightly disrespectful.

Until next time, fighters…
Keep your guard up.
Unlike our guy Tantalus.

🥊 TBCNews Exclusive: Tantalus King Delivers a Knockout Update — Version 1.1.3 Lands Heavy!

Reported by Mike Glove, TBCNews

As November 2025 comes to a close, the Tantalus Boxing Club Creative Fighter community just got hit with a thunderous uppercut of innovation. Tantalus King has stepped into the digital ring and dropped Version 1.1.3, the biggest update yet to the Creative Fighter application—and trust me, fight fans, this one comes with combinations so tight they’ll leave your device begging for a breather.

Version 1.1.0 may have been the jab…
But Version 1.1.3?
That's the knockout punch we’ve all been waiting for.

Let’s step through the ropes and break down everything this explosive update delivers.

🛎️ A Major Upgrade in Communication

Version 1.1.3 introduces two brand-new messaging systems, engineered to keep fighters and admins more connected than ever.

A fully featured conversation system allows fighters to DM one another.
Start new chats. Trade strategies. Talk trash.

📣 Take Over Club Chat

Tagging fighters now sends them instant notifications, complete with previews and deep links.
Call someone out publicly—and they’ll know about it immediately.

👤 A Cleaner, Meaner Profile Experience

Your Fighter Profile has been reorganized into six bold new sections with slick yellow headers:

TBCREC (stats overview)

Debounced real-time handlers for stable, efficient updates

🐞 Bug Fixes: Clearing the Canvas

Some of the biggest fixes include:

Notification sounds now fire properly

notifications finally bypass RLS safely

Loss points corrected to -3 points (after a critical fix)

Reliable admin name display in chats

These fixes keep the system fair, functional, and firing on all cylinders.

🏆 New Tier: Enter the Hall of Famer

A new tier has entered the arena—reserved only for the true greats:

Updated thresholds ensure cleaner progression from Amateur all the way to Elite before reaching legendary status.

📈 Point Verification & System Integrity

The scoring system is now fully locked in:

🎯 Final Verdict from Mike Glove

Tantalus King didn’t bring an update—he brought a full card fight night.
Version 1.1.3 is a reinvention of communication, a boost in performance, and a major quality-of-life win for everyone in the TBC universe.

From the gym to the global leaderboard—fighters, promoters, and fans are stepping into a new era.

And trust me…
If this is what the end of 2025 looks like, then 2026 is about to go 12 rounds with greatness.

Stay tuned, stay sharp, and keep your guard up—
This is Mike Glove, TBCNews, signing off.

TBCNews – Reported by the Always-Unbiased-Except-When-I’m-Not, Mike Glove
December 27th, 2025, is creeping up faster than Buttons Only’s consciousness after today’s sparring session.

🥊 Tantalus King Sends Buttons Only to Nap Time: Gym Turns Into Daycare Centre

Hello fight fans, combat connoisseurs, and lovers of unintentional comedy!
It’s your #1 source for all things fists, footwork, and fighter foolery—Mike Glove—coming to you straight from the Tantalus Boxing Club, where the sweat is real and so are the naps.

Today’s headline practically wrote itself:
“Buttons Only Put to Sleep in the Corner Like a Misbehaved Child… Without the Bedtime Story.”

Yes, you read that right. While most gyms play music, today’s soundtrack was THUD—silence—concerned mumbling.

🥇 Tantalus King: The Road to Redemption (And Apparently Babysitting)

If you haven’t kept your ear to the ring canvas lately, Tantalus King has been on a mission. Ever since his loss to Estevan Da Leo—a man whose punches apparently come with their own ZIP code—Tantalus has sworn a solemn oath: train, improve, repeat. And boy, has he delivered.

He’s been in the gym so much that the staff are considering charging him rent. Last week, he tried to shadowbox the vending machine because it “looked at him funny.” You know that hunger? That drive? That borderline concerning obsession good fighters have?

Yep. He’s got it.

His new motto seems to be:
“If it moves, I’ll spar it. If it breathes, I’ll outwork it. If it stands still, I’ll jab it just in case.”

🧵 Buttons Only: A Stylish Fighter… With an Off Switch

Let’s talk about today’s brave (or wildly misinformed) volunteer: Buttons Only.
A fighter known more for fashion sense than defence, Buttons stepped into the ring confident—unfortunately. And as all great boxing tragedies begin, it started with someone saying:

“Yeah, I think I can handle it.”

The footage shows Buttons Only gliding across the ring early on, landing a cute little jab here, a stylish shuffle there. But Tantalus King—focused, locked in, and powered by the eternal flame of revenge cardio—was not in the mood.

By Round 2, Tantalus started pressing like he was late for work.
By Round 3—well, that’s when The Event happened.

Let’s put it gently:
Buttons Only was peacefully escorted by Tantalus King’s right hook into the land of temporary dreams.

One moment, he was upright, the next, he was curled in the corner like a toddler who skipped nap time and finally paid the price. Trainers rushed over, but honestly, he looked comfortable. Cosy even.

If they had dimmed the lights and added a lullaby, the scene would've been perfect.

🎮 Tantalus Boxing Club Creative Fighter Beta Launch: December Is About to Be Dangerous

All of this chaos couldn’t come at a better time, because the Tantalus Boxing Club Creative Fighter beta is launching this December—and if today’s gym war is anything to go by, the competition is going to be hotter than Tantalus King’s knuckles.

Fans are already buzzing:
Will Tantalus dominate the creative fighter scene?
Will Buttons Only be cleared by medical to return to consciousness by launch day?
Will someone please childproof the corners of the ring?

Stay tuned. We’re expecting fireworks, rivalries, and possibly a few more unexpected naps courtesy of Tantalus King’s fists.

🎤 Final Thoughts from Mike Glove (Because I Love Hearing Myself Talk)

Fight fans, mark your calendars, hydrate your excitement, and—if you’re a sparring partner—maybe invest in a helmet that comes with Wi-Fi.

December 27th is shaping up to be an explosive day, and if today was just a warm-up, then Tantalus King might just be cooking up a comeback story worthy of the big bright lights he dreams of.

Buttons Only?
Well… let’s just hope he wakes up in time to read this blog.

Stay tuned to TBCNews, where the punches are heavy, but the sarcasm?
Even heavier.

— Mike Glove, signing off before Tantalus decides I need “just a little sparring” too.
