First off, I really wanted this patch to introduce the first tier of ONLINE MULTIPLAYER... that was the plan. However plans don't always work out, and i guess this dev cycle was proof of that... This update took a while to get out because most of my time was spent trying to, unsuccessfully, implement working multiplayer over network, and experimenting with "Machine Learning AI" for the boxers. Unfortunately ML does not lend itself well to boxing, as the AI - instead of "learning to box" learned to cheese the system, and didn't act realistically. After struggling with that for a few weeks, I decided to go back and just tweak/improve my current AI. As far as MP, it is quite far along, but still has issues that need fixing, which is why it is not in this release (well it's hidden in there but disabled hehe). It's current state is: You can create an online boxer, join a server in any region ...
