Key Takeaways
- Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero might be one of the best Dragon Ball games, but it still has some issues.
- Things like the messy roster and the lack of split-screen on all maps have bugged players for a while.
- Those problems, and many more, are being fixed in an update set for later this month.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero‘s next update, which drops later this month, will fix a ton of smaller issues with the game, including adding split-screen to every map and tidying up the messy roster screen.
When the long-awaited fourth Budokai Tenkaichi game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, finally launched a few months ago, it quickly made a name for itself as one of the fastest-selling and best-received Dragon Ball games of all time. For as much love as it got, though, it’s fair to say that players had a lot of minor issues with it that all added up.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Does What-If Battles Better Than Xenoverse
Xenoverse is all about alternate scenarios, but Sparking Zero’s what-if battles are all far more interesting and surprising.
Some of those issues included a lack of customisation options, certain characters feeling cheap and overpowered, the main roster screen being a total mess to get through, and local co-op only being supported with the Hyperbolic Time Chamber map. Well, it looks like most of those issues are about to be fixed with a patch that’s set to release at some point this month.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Big December Update Fixes A Ton Of Issues
As pointed out by Twitter user SLOplays, the official Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero website shared a news post outlining all of the changes that are coming in this month’s update, which remains undated for now. The list of fixes being made is surprisingly huge, but perhaps the biggest is the addition of split-screen to every map in the game, something that previously could only be done with mods.
Another big problem that fans had with Sparking Zero is its messy character roster, which isn’t grouped by transformations like it was in older games. That’s been fixed now too, as players can now select a character and their transformations from one slot. You can also set specific up and save specific teams, which should make online a lot smoother.
One of the smaller but very appreciated changes is the ability to skip intro dialogue when playing online.
The rest of the update’s changes are more focused on gameplay, including being able to set the camera closer to your character, perform a new variant of the Dragon Dash, and deflect ki blasts while moving. Some characters have been given specific changes too, such as the infamous Dr Gero no longer having unlimited Ki (or stamina, in an Android’s case) when flying around.
