That week ends today. Just FYI.

I hope to be able to at least play management mode properly by Monday. Long way to go though...

Reckon expectations need to be adjusted and it'll be out of early access what it should have have been at launch when the Xbox version is released

It's a week since launch and the crash reports are still rolling in, let alone having all the features back.

BigAntStudios JNT BA The game is in a really good position imo, you’ve e done a great job to get it back with all the daily patches.

My little Wishlist before patches start easing up (I know a few if not majority of these will get attention)

‪Fatigue ‬
‪Auto interchange ‬
‪Tactics ‬
‪Goalkicking/on the run goalkicking ‬
‪Overpowered handballs that go 50 m and roll Outabounds ‬
‪Bumping ‬
‪Speckies ‬
‪More rules implemented correctly ( deliberate out of bounds) ‬

‪If the team addresses these issues before the patching calms down, the game will be in a great position going forward.

Cheers !

Also marking, spoiling, tackling being fixed would be good.

Oh and when you take a mark and are facing your goals and kick with X it would be good if the ball didn't go 50m in the wrong direction towards your opponents goal.

I do hope it continues for a while. The support team were very polite in thanking me for going into detail for about what I feel needs improving. I gave them video footage for them to try and replicate the same issues, so they can patch them up.

Tackling is still trash, doesn’t feel like you have control where the ball is going.

Marking trash. Inconsistent

Movement is laughable, players are hardly controlled by the player. From fake walls to players just stuck in the middle of the mark.

Spoiling for me is the only cool looking feature but that’s stuffed by the way the player lands and is then completely out of the game.

Tackling sucks.

Goal kicking is half broken.


Overall this isn’t even early access. Stop the crap big ant.

While I’ve at times disagreed with some of your replies to peoples comments, you’ve definitely contributed more than anyone else I’ve seen on here. You’ve pointed out what’s wrong and actually followed it up and made the effort to give them every opportunity to bring us the game we paid for and expected. You’ve made a huge contribution.
Plus you single-handedly got us a bounce button 😂
 
Played Management Mode again last night after the latest patches. First season could play any game with no crashes. Second season, first game crashed. Could simulate through each game but as soon I chose a game to play, it would crash. The crashes are so disheartening when they happen. I hope these get fixed ASAP.

Sam Mitchell is still a bald guy during cut scenes.

Can win 3 out 5 ruck contests now at centre bounce and around the ground. Marking is still confusing as meter still does not seem to be working on PS4. Tackling still seems to be broken or maybe I am doing it wrong.

I never would have imagined an American e-celeb like penguinz0 with 13 million subscribers to play the game. This is wild.

Legit never expected someone like Charlie to cover it. Thought it would be way too niche.
 
I must be so incredibly lucky on PS5 because I haven't been receiving any crashes whatsoever in the better part of a week.

So curious that this is happening to other people on the exact same build and platform.

Just a simple screenshot but it represents the game where I probably had the most fun so far (aside from getting used to the game play on Saturday night). Started off sluggish before coming back in the first quarter. Totally died in the arse in the second quarter and looked gone deep into the third (only kicked 1 goal while Essendon piled on 4), but rather late in the third I flicked the switch Melbourne 2021 grand final style..... bombed 6 goals in rapid succession. Including one such goal that was the result of a mark when the timer had already gone down to 0...... BT would have crapped his pants with another siren gate scandal!!

Essendon remained scoreless in the final quarter, while I piled on another 10 goals of pain.

During the match I saw what the game COULD be with certain things ironed out - I did not get the weird tackle bug, or stuck in mud feeling when taking possession of the ball until late in the 4th quarter. And I had ample opportunities for it to happen in Q1 - Q3.

Goal kicking needs to be seriously looked at. What is the point of player stats if every player just kicks goals at will. It needs addressing. This is where games like FIFA/NBA excel. Every player plays to their stats.

This x100!! Unless you choose to deliberately miss a set shot, everything is a goal. Players with lower goal kicking ratings should mean the metre moves faster or has a smaller window for timing. Some sort of differentiating would be helpful.
 
Unfortunately online is still cooked on PS5! Game crashes after the first quarter every single time, or the players become allergic to the ball and just play soccer instead. Or when you play on the other users person standing on the mark is stuck there instead of being able to apply pressure straight away. Just wanna be able to get through my first online game without crashing or the game freezing!

I still miss the occasional set shot (the second bar movement confuses me sometimes!).
 
Just watched the Cr1tikal video. Honestly for the exposure, that wasn't too bad. Most of his frustrations were just not knowing Aussie Rules haha. The game seemed to play fine at least, bar the opposition being maybe way too OP near goals (which we all experience right now).

Also RIP Angus Brayshaw for being the only dude wearing a helmet and Charlie having no idea why and branding him a doofus.

This can be changed when/if Bigant implement wind and then if it alters the projection the ball takes.

Haha he thought he was a goal keeper and wondered why he didn’t do anything

I also had this thing last night where at a marking contest my player just decided to run around in a huge circle around the contest unprompted by any of my controls - a few minutes later same thing happened to my son.

There's also instances of players kicking, marking, playing on etc even when my hands aren't on the controller.

The game has improved a lot but still a lot to fix - it's like if it started at 1 and has to get to 100 it's at about 20. 20x better than release but still a loooong way to go.
