So has the patch come out yet for ps4 and when is pro team coming

 

[DenieD]

Spent 99% of their budget on scanning every AFL/AFLW player into the game (still don't have all the faces scanned in) and 1% into the gameplay

Great game management

Pro team = when Xbox is released according to an ex AFL player that is our most trustworthy source because BigAnt themselves don’t have the balls to say it

Been following Redfall closely cos I love Arkane, Far Cry (which it had been compared to during development) and the novel 'Salem's Lot (vampires!) and it had almost as many red flags as AFL 23. Almost.

Gotta give them props though. Reviews were out day one and they would have known it was a raging trashfire.

 

[BigHonker]

most importantly, can someone release the soundtrack?

1. Coming Out Of The Darkness
2. Devils Stomp
3. Done Believing
4. For The Glory
5. Hell To Play
6. I will Be Here
7. Massive Swagger Blues
8. Meet Your Maker
9. Rolling Stone
10. Soaring Free
11. Stomping Whistle
12. Won’t Go Down
13. You Talkin’ To Me?
14. Your Love’s On Fire

Yea honestly the general state of gaming atm is kinda sad, but if you do mess up badly communication is key

Stuff can be salvaged no man’s sky, cyberpunk etc

can confirm ps5 version has all the faults of the pc version. maybe version 1.0.2 isnt patched

Thanks mate you saved me $100

 

[hirdylloydy1]

scrap that its worse, cant seem to run in a straight line as your player tries to balk all the time, it also feels like you dont have great control of your player, its very sluggish

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

We should’ve known how shit this was when nobody could tell us any information about the game. While any advertising included zero gameplay. Secrets were kept for a reason

That "patch" isn't even out yet lol

 

[Millky95]

My concern is that this is not just a patch away.

That's fair enough but given how the gameplay videos look pre-release and at the launch demo looked and performed better, I can't see it not being something a patch or two can't fox

 

[thefootymanalex]

Gee whiz the game is so easy, sprinting is far too overpowered, I’m playing on the hardest difficulty and winning by 100+ points against teams like Geelong. Game keeps crashing with 30 seconds to go in the 4th. Hope this patch comes in soon haha.

 

[Swoop Luke]

first time, long time. maybe i'm doing something wrong but i've installed the game on my PS5, currently kicking at goal with dangerfield (which seems broken because goals are counting as misses) and when i pause it, it still says 'exit - installing 6%'. it's gone from 1% - 6% in the last 20mins. have i done something wrong or? haha

EDIT: turns out its just a reallllllllly slow install despite super quick internet speed. fmd

Games industry atm is all about getting in pre-orders and micro transactions. They don't care about releasing a mess if they already have your money

I do recall a quote from someone who worked at Rockstar (certainly not comparing the quality of Rockstar games to AFL 23) but they made the point that you can test a game so much during development but nothing will ever compare to the amount of times a game is played upon launch, hence why even the biggest games have glitches e.t.c.

Seems even AAA studios have adopted a release not perfect game and just patch as they go approach the last 5-10 years.

"For those of you that insist on playing on PC..."

Haha what

 

[Mootsy]

Alright that’s enough, calm down and grab a coffee

 

[footyfreak_]

Safe to say bigant aren’t keeping the licence.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Selling the dummy doesn't work, can't backwards hand pass, tunnel hand balling is useless because it springs in an awkward way and you can't roll it far. The grubber kicks are satisfying, though.

Possibly a way to release the game on other platforms since that was all Xbox's **** up

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

"For those of you that insist on playing on PC..."

Haha what

It's a joke statement not from the actual developers.

 

[T2B_]

One thing I can give Evo 2 credit for is I don't think you could ever just sprint away with the ball. You'll get mobbed very quickly. Occasionally you get lucky and can break out into an open paddock, but that's like real life really.
