Honestly if I wasn't invested in the game I would have turned off notifications for this thread. Why anyone else would want to partake is... Well one can only assume not genuine intentions.

I honestly want a NEW fun AFL game. So I'm riding the positive and negative emotions contained in here.

I hope the issues are rectified... but if not there's always older games to scratch the AFL itch (I've spent 3 hours on Evo 2 on pc so far this week).

Hopefully the game is in a better play state by the Xbox release in June.
 
I legit reckon someone uploaded the wrong version and you can't "unpatch" the game so they need to make new patches based on this build to get it to what should have launched
And I do hope that if this is true, the person who uploaded the wrong patch is now either fired or has been throughly grilled.

This has broken the big ant brand big time, especially as we know the capability of how the game plays from the videos by streamers and the launch event before release
 
I'm not sure we'll ever know exactly what happened. What we know is there was a perfectly playable version pre-release, as shown by the streamers, albeit missing content and some rough edges to be polished.

It seems like in the rush to release they plonked a bunch of stuff on top and chaos ensued. How it wasn't checked, who knows.
Video editing is a powerful tool.

In their defence, they don't have the backing of a large company like an EA (who recently have had their own issues with the Star Wars game....).

I don't think it's deliberate, just a series of unfortunate stuff ups.

Sure, whatever makes you happy...
 
The reputational damage this has done to BA would be incredibly worrying for them. Heard it talked about on 3 radio stations now, and the articles in the press have been less than complimentary
Dubious. BA will eventually fix the game, and in the meantime won't be mentioned once by name on the radio or TV.

So it's really just "the AFL" getting shat on, and Kylie Rogers who takes a reputational hit within the administration behind closed doors, unfortunately for her.

And to think, some people actually wanted more money spent on advertising the game for the last two months. Crazy stuff.
 
The only 'editing' I do on any of my youtube videos is add a monologue at the start and add a blur dissolve transition, that is the extent of my capabilities / time available currently :p

Once the xbox version of the game comes out, hopefully they've updated player ratings and positions, need will day dominating in the midfield

Yeah having watched and yours was legit and to me looked a bit buggy. Not as buggy as it is but a bit.

One or two others have been a bit too edited for my liking
 
Huh?

Can't tackle.
Can't handball.
AI never spoils.
Can't switch player.
No speccies.

Basically fine? We are a fair way out from that.

I haven’t played, I’ve seen you can change the player switching and movements to fully assisted? Wouldn’t that help some issues right there?

Just a question anyone here play their first tennis game at launch that was broken beyond belief and was patched like 15 times in the first few weeks of release is this as bad as that is, I've got it downloading on my ps5 at the moment and I'nm kind of scared on what to expect

Yes, I played it at the AO and it was horrendous. Worst tennis game I've ever played.
 
The AI was definitely better. They chased, tackled and were tougher to play against.

I was able to handball better and create link up play.


but for me AI still needs to be tweaked and made harder and the big one is they need to be able to spoil. that will make things so much more difficult.

still able to take marks inside 50 even 2 or 3 vs 1 which is a bit crazy. they should be killing those contests.

Once the AI spoiling comes in i think that will make it feel tougher again.


I played mostly online games last night which I enjoyed. Had a couple of crashes, not as many as PS5 users pre patch.

Playing against another user who can spoil link up themselves etc makes it a much tougher game and more rewarding when you score.

Just needs to have a online leaderboard or stat keeping of some kind, reckon i was 4-0!
Thanks for that, hopefully we don't have to wait too long.
I would like to see the AI spoil more and more balls hit the ground in contested situations.
