Fixed a critical bug where goal detection could occasionally be slightly off
We have corrected several racetracks where there was a slight discrepancy between the position of the finish line camera and the point recognized as the finish line within the game.
All racetracks have been reviewed and confirmed.
Although this was a previously existing bug, it was deemed a critical issue. Therefore, despite the short interval since the last release, we have released this update.
Increased the number of horses obtainable when winning races outside Japan
When you have conquered all turf and dirt races, you will be able to acquire horses by winning overseas races. Previously, only horses of a certain strength or higher were selected, but we have changed this so that winning horses can be acquired as much as possible (due to various circumstances, some overseas horses remain unavailable).
With this change, it will also be possible to acquire horses such as Panthalassa (Saudi Cup, Dubai Turf).
Significantly raised the maximum speed limit on straightaways for each difficulty level
In the final straight, we’ve made an adjustment so that the upper limit on speed when using the whip is significantly increased.
However, the upper limit will remain almost unchanged for some of the strongest horses.
The maximum rein speed will remain the same, with horses with higher ability scores having an advantage in this regard.
However, the upper limit on speed when using the whip has been raised, narrowing the gap between horses with high and low speed values.
We are concerned that the difficulty level overall may have been lowered too much, and we plan to make various revisions to the difficulty settings in the future.
Tips for getting the most speed out of your whip
# Front-running type horses
– From the last 1000m to 600m, maintain position while being careful not to let the pace get too fast, closing the gap to the leader as much as possible.
– Begin accelerating after the 600m mark, avoiding the whip until the final 400m.
– Apply the whip after the 400m mark. Whether to use the whip early to pull away or save it until the last possible moment depends on the opposition.
# Horses that chase from behind
– From the last 1000m to 600m, maintain position as much as possible and close the gap to the leader.
– From just past the last 600m, increase speed while maintaining the position best suited to the horse’s running style until the last 400m. Also, avoid using the whip until the last 400m.
– Use the whip from just past the last 400m. Whether to use the whip early for a burst of speed or hold off until the last possible moment depends on the opposition. The later the whip is used, the higher the maximum speed achieved.
Readjusted the camera movement when skipping replays at some racetracks.
We have readjusted the camera work when skipping replays at some racetracks. This fixes some racetracks that were not properly adjusted when we corrected the camera work in the previous release.
Fine-tuned the logic for selecting rival horses
In the previous release, we made changes to the logic for selecting rival horses, and we have now made further fine-tuning.
We have made fine adjustments to the selection logic, mainly in conjunction with the “Generation matching” setting.
Fixed minor bugs
Various minor glitches have been fixed.
– On the race results screen, we have changed the display to show “last 3F” for difficulty levels of normal or higher.
– Improved stability with the latest iOS.
