I know someone has posted this before... What's the best camera settings to get close to Evo 2 type distance etc? Whatever I've played with is either too close or too far away.

I go with the default camera but change it to 30 for the first option (zoom/height?) it lowers it and brings it closer when on the inner wing. Alternatively you can try side dynamic with the same settings.

On a positive note… I do enjoy the snap/bananas on the run

The speed of ball to foot when kicking can feel very delayed.

Which is very odd, it was much faster at launch. Was probably the only good thing I noticed.

 

[FearTheBeard13]

I'm not actually sure if it is impacting kicks currently either

For me it 100% isn’t at all. If you want, aim on the goal post on your next set shot with strong with and see if its swayed over. Hasnt happened yet for me

how do you get that right? when ever i try my players on go for a very awkward banana, i cant get a snap on the run going

 

[mickelboy182]

dont think that ones running any better for people at the moment

I would think most in this thread would be stoked if the only issues with AFL23 were performance related...

Is there anyway to change the team line ups in season mode?

Does anyone else experience that the boundary is like a magnet for the ball? When the ball goes loose around the sides it’ll just bounce all the way out

I don’t believe so at this stage.

If you’re on the run on the boundary hold L2 + O and aim your player toward the centre square and enjoy..
been loving the kicking and centre clearance work so far.

Once tackling is more responsive and player lateral and receiving movements are fixed the gameplay will definitely be the best we’ve had!

Crappy launch sure! But there so much fun to be had. Can’t wait for the suggested fixes to be made on top of the crashing!

This WILL be a good game

Have had a few cracks this morning before work.

Haven't got through a PC game without it crashing on me.

Handballing not great and tackling still impossible.

same here

And the animation of the umpire to throw the ball in takes forever

I’ll give that a crack! Cheers mate

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Who said this game wasn’t realistic?
The crowd at Richmond vs West Coast today is almost identical to the game!

 

[Chark96]

I’ll give that a crack! Cheers mate

My main tip when doing it is just aim your player away from goals while powering up the kick meter. I learnt the hard way after 25 out on full bananas

Release the run button when tackling. A lot more effective.

Was under the impression we were getting one today.

Posted at 12:20am today:

Tackling will be a major focus in tomorrow's patch. If you are sprinting BTW then the tackling window is very small (this is one of the things that will be patched).

 

[JNT BA]

Can someone tell him the typo on the banner was deliberate though

Oh man, maybe I should @ them. If they think that one is misspelled, they didn't play the correct team lineups for some other fun ones I found and slipped in. At least Mitch saw my other one and eventually recognized it.

Keep up the feedback guys. Lots of great suggestions about even the smallest things I've been collecting to be reviewed. I know some of you have also let us know things on the support site, much appreciation for that. I've been helping the team over there when I can, always nice to see one of my replies directly quoted here haha.

 

[hirdylloydy1]

is there any way to skip the coin toss, takes to long

 

[bennymate]

This game just isn't fun, tempted to reinstall Evolution 2. Even with all these features expected in a week I can't see the gameplay being at an acceptable stage by then. Can't handball great, can barely tackle. Movements feel clunky and unnatural. Least my game hasn't crashed today.

I feel like the difficulty is out of order. People complain it's too easy on the hardest difficulty while I'm struggling on the easiest mode, I could be trash though. Get run down alot by the AI, always as the ball is dropping for the kick

I am surprisingly having a blast with it, just stick to a few online games here and there while they roll out the rest of the features.

hey mate not sure if you can answer this but thought id ask, the total games/goals stats you see on the team management page will that be updated to everyones actual irl total game/goal stats or will it just be the games you play with them in management mode? so everyone starts at 0
