Safe to say bigant aren’t keeping the licence.

They will. AFL23 got shot on the knee caps on release so AFL27 (3 games time) could run

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

Ah geez, I need another coffee.

The two things I would be concerned about is:

1) AI
2) Handpassing/spoiling/tackling
3) stats
4) tactics

Haven't tested it but from reading.Assuming the AI is actually an issue and not caused by wrong builds or final build integration then yeah it is going to be unsavalagble. Also tactics is linked to AI. Maybe that's why tactics isn't there because AI issues

AI is notoriously difficult to fix. Because one tweak to AI may **** with other attributes.

That "patch" isn't even out yet lol

ps5 version is 1.000.002 , i dont know if there is earlier versions, so wasnt sure if this included a patch

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.

I dunno if that is very applicable in this case... Seeing as everyone is seeing these glaring issues in their first games.

What’s wrong with that?! People used to go to tanning salons all the time for that very reason..

 

[Nicho50]

Jesus it’s not like it’s just one or two things either.

Jesus it’s not like it’s just one or two things either.

True, but 5 or 6 isn’t too bad..look we’ve got a game here, and I don’t really want to have to wait years and years for another one, so let’s try and be useful, work with the big ant, not against, k tanks bye

Marvellous

Jake Trump

He's bigly good.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

True, but 5 or 6 isn’t too bad

But number one on the list is "the game is completely broken"

 

[haydo]

I’ve just played my first 5 minute quarter on PS5

WTF is anyone on about. This game is entertaining as hell

 

[Mudcrab85]

The amount of let downs this game has given us is amazing

 

[Mootsy]

Remember this is everybody’s game, not just big ants, you are part of the testing phase, AFL23 is all around us, it’s in the trees, the soil below, the water, the skies above, it’s all around you..

 

[soups1982]

has anyone figured out between settings and resolution settings how to have the game fill up your entire monitor? my res is like 3200x1860 and its a square

 

[Quivorir]

Lol seems like Xbox’s Redfall has also released broken, wtf is the gaming industry atm man, that’s now 3 games in a row releasing very broken

This cant be real?

 

[YahBoyJones]

Was looking forward to this given the hype, the advertising etc

$100 for a game that doesn't work on release, how does this happen? Like surely you would test out the game and if its that shite, why release it? Seems to be motivated by $$$ whilst the consumer gets shafted!

Some communication from the developers would be nice!

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

This cant be real?

Haha no it's not, it's a joke, not the actual developers.

The game is a mess though, that bit is real.

 

[dekani19]

When is the patch coming??

 

[Selim]

This cant be real?

This cant be real?

I just saw it on twitter and looked real but I think it might be fake but the game is broken as shit aswell so assumed that this was real my bad, Ahaha

 

[MadMundy]

Can't even turn on certain pieces of play, just ended up running out of bounds

Tackling is also nearly impossible… I’m praying this patch comes soon!
