That a glitch or did you genuinely sim 50 years?

That's a glitch lol. Was this years fixture in season mode.

I'm on PS4 after second patch I played a game and it still crashes

 

[Etto]

im starting to think the update was only for PS4/PC only to fix stability, maybe one more patch coming some point tonight?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Scoreboards look to be on.
Was that an issue or am I just slow noticing it?

 

[Wormkilla]

There are limitations on what you can say when you are a publicly listed company. I would assume this is the reason.

Lol what part of ya ring hole did you pull this from?

Was up 3 goals to 2 against Melbourne as the Dogs. Then they kicked the next 7.

Either do I, what’s the bet they ****ed up again and only pushed the patch for steam and PS4

Look at it this way, Ross CEO of big ant is a Carlton supporter, can Carlton construct a good club? No, therefore I’m no longer surprised this game isn’t playable, too bad I think Carlton have more issues then the game

Tackling for me has worked really well since the new patch (PS4). AI slightly better at contested marks. Interchange menu up looks nice (different from that blue on blue) but doesn't do anything. Can't even change positions of the blokes on the ground yet. Crowds still pretty bad.

Looks like i saved some money on this.
Was going to buy the Xbox version then it got delayed.

We have been receiving patches for years and are still very broken

 

[Cocomarsh]

You'd reckon ps4 and ps5 come out at the same time

PS4 is a faster process. It means PS5 isn't far away.

A mistake this big can impact share price. An apology can intimate where fault lies.

2 mins into final quarter and it crashed.

Very sad that the roadmap didn't include a timeframe for including this song in the soundtrack

Verse 1: We used to talk about the game Our passion for gang tackles brought us together
Every word, every point of view
Made the thread feel like forever

Chorus: But now the time has come to part
And the conversation's gone
Our footy talk will never restart
And xbox users will be left with just this song

Verse 2: The thread was full of highs and lows
Like the game we loved to follow
But now it's over, xbots are all alone
Left with memories stacked with milo and pretty hard to swallow

Chorus: But now the time has come to part
And the conversation's gone
Our talk of early builds will never restart
And we're left with just this song

Bridge: The thread was more than just a game or words,
It was a place where we belonged
Now it's empty, silent, absurdly so
And we're left to move on

Chorus: But now the time has come to part
And the conversation's gone
Our footy talk will never restart
And we're left with just this song

Outro: The thread may be closed, but our love for the game lives on
We'll find new ways to talk, new threads to carry on

A couple of streamers I'm seeing not realising you can still dispose of the ball after being tackled. Just spam handball or even kick.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

We've hit the crescendo of the pile on here, and I'm loving it

 

[Xtreme]

Had a look at a couple of streams on twitch. Still wouldn't say it's worth playing yet but two patches in 2 days is a decent start

I've watched a few streams myself, I'm closer to buying it (almost did earlier!!) but just have enough strength to hold off just a little longer to see how much more improvement there will be.

You can even shrug tackles with the right analogue stick.

If big ant can keep up these daily patches for a week or two, the game could actually work out.

 

[ShaunWDT]

General gameplay is better but still crashing is a bit ridiculous considering last patch was supposed to be focused on stability.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

If big ant can keep up these daily patches for a week or two, the game could actually work out.

it won't be playable until they patch it so you can always move into the direction you want.

Shout out to the Youtuber who shall not be named in the final second

I take back my crashing comment after the ps4 patch. Has just crashed another 3 times. That’s me done for the night before I smash my control into oblivion.

Played 6 games, all crashed. Doing my block in
