Why in gods name would you implement speccies when it counts as playing on and always results in at best a ball up, and usually a free for htb

I’m assuming you’re not playing on Steam after tonight’s update because that’s been fixed.

All I can say tonight is thank god steam lets you rollback patches. This is a mess.

That’s weird because I’ve watched a few different Steam streams tonight and while the there’s still some issues the game looks to just be getting better and better overall, each night.

Reading about all these bugs and issues, I always onder if we are talking PS5 or Steam.
I'm on Steam and feel things are steadily improving with each patch's release too.

So this was supposed to be a spoil. Pleasantly surprised.
Until he played on before even hitting the ground.
Cost me the game.

Is that ultra wide screen?

 

[GoldbergsGold]

A few bugs in my first game after tonight's patch.

No collisions.

Is it just me or… for every thing fixed in a patch, a new problem is created. I don’t know if this game is recoverable.

Its feeling that way. I was happy with how things were progressing but the Sunday night patch has done something to the game.

Or maybe I've just been unlucky seeing things like those animations I posted of players getting stuck/glitching out more often.

Felt this way early in the week as well but other patches made the Sunday night changes better. So hopefully whatever they implement this week, improves what they did this past Sunday night.

Just checking to see if the Guernseys would work out any clash. (South Augusta SGL vs Crystal Brook NAFA). All clear.

Is there a way to make the numbers white on the score bug?

 

[RossFC]

Are 50 metre pens in the game?

 

[Bakesy]

Is the latest patch on the ps5 1.10?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Are 50 metre pens in the game?

Yet to see one personally.

Haven't seen high tackles paid, either.

Not just yet, and deliberate out of bounds, although I’m kinda happy deliberate out of bounds isn’t in the game yet, as I’m not a fan of the rule

 

[T2B_]

Don’t see the point in having a career mode if all teams/players are rated the same

There’s no need to trade for players, high draft pricks etc.

Let me take an under 80 rated team (eg Roos & hawks) and build them in to that 87+ rated team through trades, draft & player progression

Heh, "high draft pricks"

Deliberate is in the game, just ridiculously uncommon...

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Is the latest console patch up?

1.10 is what I have ?

 

[Jadoss_ATCHA23]

At each quarter time break instead of it going straight to next qaurter it would be great to have the the breakdown of Major Ball winners and Goal Kickers (as shown below). Currently have to pause game and go into statistics tab and filter through. Also would love if AFL Fantasy points could be added into player statistics section. At the end of the game would also be great to see Brownlow Votes 3,2,1 or Player of the match- thought this was also a good addition to have.

i agree with this! i'm finding that the game is becoming more and more enjoyable with each update!

Steam here

In some respects yes it's improving, but I'm seeing more invisible walls or the AI just doing weird things more often in the most recent patches. I just want the game to be good and as bug/glitch free as possible.

 

[ItsJonesy777]

Those won’t be until tomorrow, where we’ll get everything from the weekend.

 

[Grechy]

I wonder how much longer the daily patches will go on for.

Brownlow Votes 3,2,1

Not at the end of the game but a breakdown of each games votes at the end of the year would be a good inclusion. Player of the match definitely after the game.

Definitely need stats at end of each quarter.

Management mode needs more depth then just lineup selection and play etc. Need notifications that players are injured, suspended etc. Need an inbox implemented which can have messages from unhappy players voicing their decision to not resign or be traded, wanting more money etc. Free agent pool needs to be shown so you can look at signing them at end of year. Should also be advised of player retirements. As much as Evo had it's bugs, their Coach career was well executed apart from the ease of trading etc.

I'm wondering if there was really a PS5 version, I say this as normally the PS4 version is quite a downgrade compared to the PS5 however the one for this game appears to be the same.

Are the graphics better on the PS5 version? Does the PS5 copy have dualsense controls (haptic feedback, etc)? Is the PS5 smaller in size? Or how about performance?

I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am, however I think we PlayStation players only ever got a PS4 version of the game which was also simply released on the PS5 but not having any of the system upgrades. So is there even a reason to buy the PS5 copy compared to the PS4?

Just a thought

PS5 version graphics are miles ahead of PS4, you really notice after playing PS5 and playing or watching a game on PS4 and vice versa. The gameplay runs smoother and there are half as many crashes on PS5 as there is on PS4.

Is there any estimated time of release for the missing ANZAC guernseys (Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn) and possibly the addition of the 2023 indigenous guernseys?

 

[Chuckinho]

Is there a way to make the numbers white on the score bug?

Not sure. I wish there was. It is appearing there and also in the load screen.
