I'm doing a stadium build atm but can someone check what happens if you play a night game with 1/0 light towers?

 

[RayceHawk53]

Very likely coming to PC today, along with the creator.

Console will be able to download teams, but not create them - that will come for Consoles tomorrow.

Consoles can already create teams? Only missing option is the guernseys.

Just like many people management mode is the game mode I will play the most. Need drafted players ages fixed and drafted players not all looking the same fixed before that mode is even playable. Is there any word on them two things being fixed? Thanks.

 

[Bianconeri]

So many of the “fixes” seem to be cheat like solutions which aren’t real fixes at all

I think the worst one is their cheat to try and reduce congestion by implementing a 50m gap between the forwards and the stoppage.

Might be worth having a stadium thread siilar to whats been done in the cricket games? People can share their stadiums and share codes (which are meant to be introduced this week). The trending part of the academy isn't really doing what it's supposed too. I imagined it was meant to sort by most downloaded but instead with get every single creation in alphabetical order, meaning it's time consuming finding the best stadiums.

Please disregard if it has been fixed since ultrawide was introduced BigAntStudios, but some HUD elements don't show correctly on ultrawide displays.

I work for them.

Also had more crashes today than i've had before, although i didn't play much over the weekend. But still

Don't just stick your bug reports in this thread, open a ticket at the BigAnt Support site, that way the bug is stored somewhere with BigAnt and they have a record of it and a process in place to fix it. Just sticking it in here and hoping it will get fixed isn't the best option.

 

[Treehill23]

Nothing bugging me more right now than player movement. Actually shocked that no one else is mentioning this aside from yourself. Turning circles are huge, players still run backward, sprinting doesn't work half the time when tracking a loose ball, then your player will increase speed by 200% all of a sudden when he's got possesion. However people still think this game is "playable".

Maybe they get this impression from the same place that Ross got his irrefutable Industry Data ?

To be fair, saving the marketing until post-release certainly got the game in the news:

Haha howd the game handle that?

 

[palmomagpie]

Is the PS patch that is coming out tonight going to include the additional patch Steam are supposedly getting this afternoon?

I believe tonight’s ps patch included Sat/Sun/Mondays patches as per this post. Contradicted a bit by Ross’s last comment about teams creator etc but I believe it gets most of it

How's the FPS haha

How's the FPS haha

Fine actually played 2 quarters, they have a pretty low data cap though so I could only add about 45 small trees on the outside

If you remove all the lights it ends up using the magic moon light sadly doesn't get any darker

Damn, no recreating lights-out Gabba then

Wasn't it the day one patch that apparently sent this game balls up? Wonder if theres someway around that... maybe the disk version without the day one patch is the holy grail we seek

I've got the disc version, if you delete the patches and try and play with the console offline you're stuck at the start screen saying it can't connect to Big Ants servers. So it launched with DRM on the disc preventing you from playing what possibly is the best version.

so is this game better than AFL Live / AFL Live 2? cos it just seems like its smarter to get that cheap to scratch the footy game itch

I think after the weekends patches yes, it already was in terms of creation and graphics anyway

You're going to get a real diverse range of replies lol

Wait until mid-late June and assess then.
