Updates of NGL Biathlon Beta-5:
1) Money in career
In Beta 5, athletes will race not only for medals, cups and titles, but also for financial rewards. Money can be earned in all leagues, starting with the Junior league. The higher the league, the more money an athlete earns for a race in it. In addition to receiving money for races, athletes will be financially rewarded for places in the standings at the end of the season. In the races themselves, in addition to the occupied place, bonuses will be given for performances in the yellow / red / blue bibs.
2) Trainings in career
Now you can purchase parameters upgrades for your athlete for in-game currency, and this can be done right during the season. Each type of training can only improve the specific parameters of the athlete, which are indicated in this type. Trainings performed during the season are only held in lieu of any race. So to improve the athlete, you have to sacrifice the race. In the off-season, the system is about the same. After the season, during the transition period, you can do all types of training again (if, of course, there is enough money for this). And, having improved his biathlete, move on to the next season.
3) Selection of ski brands for boots (+online)
It will be possible to choose a standard brand for athletes in the game. You can do this in the biathletes editor. In addition, it will be possible to select skis for racing online (but purely decorative, ski parameters will not work yet in online-mode).
4) Shop in a career
Career Mode will now feature a fully functional ski shop where you can purchase various items such as skis, boots, poles, gloves, rifles and suits.
5) New skis and its characteristics
There will be more ski models in the game, each manufacturer will have 12 pairs in stock. In addition, we have again updated their characteristics, and now the effect of sliding on speed will become even more significant.
6) New athletes
After the previous season, many biathletes ended their sports careers. Therefore, it is necessary to refresh the rosters of athletes, and careers will become even more interesting.
7) Fixed some game bugs.
