Very shortly after update 1.2.3, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road now has another patch within the same week. Released today, version 1.2.4 features some more substantial changes to the game’s balance, adds a couple of new features, and your usual host of bug fixes. It’s good that the developers are addressing issues quickly, even if most of them are minor. Victory Road has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, and Level-5 wants to keep that momentum going.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Version 1.2.4 Patch Notes
Where update 1.2.3 mostly dealt with minor fixes, today’s patch makes more meaningful changes that both players already deep into the game and newcomers will appreciate. The new features are minor, such as the ability to switch directly between characters from the Abilearn Board, without backing out to the main menu. This same shortcut is now also available in the equipment menu.
Below are the full patch notes. And if you wish to visit the source, check it out here!
Balance Adjustments

Adjusted the training goals in Chapter 9 of Story Mode.

Added Level Sync for Avatars in Story Mode

Retrying a Story Match Will Now Carry Over the Score
- Adjusted Story Mode matches so that if you lose and retry from mid-match, the score up to that point will now be carried over.
