I have seen similar with the kicking bar stay on screen during the inital end of quarter cutscene. But gone at the half time in rooms cutscene. But only once and never again.

The reticles stayed on screen the entire match.

So I'm curious as to why this game doesn't have a 2 player offline option? To play against friends/family.

Patch just became available now I believe.

Is inviting friends to online play within this patch? If not when does it intend to be released?

Waste a lot of time spamming through quick play lobbies to verse friends, unless it’s already in the game and I’ve missed it.

It does but weirdly you have to have another PlayStation account logged in to do it local.. seems really weird or an oversight?

Yeah, it's really weird to set up. I played for a few hours last night with my brother, 1v1 on PS5 and it was a lot of fun.

To work around it, I just set up a one-player game with the teams we wanted to play as, then once we got into the game, got the second controller to connect and then select their team in the side select option.

I had this happen with the last patch. I had to re-add the afl2.exe to my Norton Antivirus exceptions.

 

[ESSENDON INSIDER]

any chance ross in a future patch i won’t have to do ruck contests with a coin?

Ai now intercepts and tackling/hand passing has improved - it’s also more difficult.

It was raining as well.

 

[dont argue 04]

if you make a sub after a goal the player coming on stands in the middle of the centre bounce

You can add a controller on Steam. I assume PS is different

Is it still full sunny during the rain?

Thoughts/impressions on newest patch

Hardest Difficulty 5 Minute Quarters

• Massive Crowds! First time yet for me
• Much smoother gameplay, momentum actually works? Players dont seem weighed down by 50kg anymore
• We can tackle!?!
• The invisible wall seems to be somewhat gone now
• Can see wind
• Player stats overview, disposals and possesions table added
• Interchange works
• Definitely conjestion but tbh i don't mind it
• Still issues with turning players

It was cloudy in the rain to me just now.
