[DasItMayne]

Thank you to the content creators who gave us a realistic glimpse of what to expect.

But I thought they were your lord and saviour jesus ross christ?

Some people are so blinded by love for the Australian gaming industry, I get it but surely youve got to be able to criticise something that is clearly not up to even average standard.

It's bad.. like pulled from stores bad.

My mate just sent me this.

**** you're an obnoxious campaigner that's full of shit.

You don't have mates.

 

[caloschwaby]

This is too funny omg

First, not hater. In BA we trust.

Something that's bugged me for a while and now I can play the game the view is not changing - are the players not quite to scale? They seem to be about 10 - 15% too small. I hope this is not some weird game play concession thing to reduce congestion, that can be fixed when the sliders are added.

I'll be back with some screenshots later where I'll either be right or I'll be embarrassed. Maybe both.

* you're an obnoxious campaigner that's full of s**t.

Bit excessive, where's the mods thought we weren't allowed to play the man or does that only apply to Ross' pets?

 

[BigHonker]

I think the most glaring thing when you’re in the game at the moment is that it’s $100 and these are the only features you have:

• Play Now
• Season
• Management Career (Glorified Season)
• Online (Quick play only)
• Academy

So there’s no single career, no mini games, no training, no open field, no goal shots even though it’s at the start when you’re installing the game.. no legends. It just feels very very empty..

First game I played it was actually enjoyable lots of bugs but it’s a fun foundation if they can get the rest of it right.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Yeah mate AFL 23's definitely in the same ballpark.

Just a much smaller audience so won't make the news.

 

[Mjs198888]

Four hours later and still radio silence from BA, why would you release the game this year ?

 

[RickSanchez]

I dunno if my copy is ready, I forgot if they text you on the day to say it's ready or if you just go in. I kinda don't want it anymore ...

 

[DaveM303]

Noticed this on SteamDB. Steam update imminent?

I thought my final line made it clear I'm fishing for cheap laugh reacts from pantskyle

What can they even say? Thanks for the cash? Like literally lmao

You are quite a facetious person, aren't you? Get a grip. I said people needed to cool it with their hyperbolic language and, frankly, deranged reactions, a la "burning Big Ant to the ground".

We've now had 4-5hours to see how it plays and it's clear as day it is currently broken. Things need to be fixed and communication needs to improve drastically, as it has needed to for a long time with Big Ant.

Actually read my comments and you'll see that I wasn't favouring Big Ant, I was trying to take a measured approach to this. Something, it seems, is impossible for a large portion of the people on this thread.

Might be those pesky updated screenshots.

 

[brendiss]

Something is off, definitely off...

Version number 1.000.002 doesn't seem like a day 1 patch version number more like a patch with security and stability updates - maybe to allow people to actually pass through the loading screen and load the game menu. Version 1.001.000 would make more sense to me as being a day 1 patch version number. Something is fishy here, either from Big Ant or Sony/Steam - the issues with Xbox can't be causing these issues

They're fixing it mate, what else do you want.

 

[Quivorir]

Does anyone know if season mode is just the one season or multiple?

* you're an obnoxious campaigner that's full of s**t.

You don't have mates.

Low blow indeed!!!

They can explain why this version of the game plays nothing like the recent reviewed version for starters.
