Just had a look and can’t find it. I saw in Twistie3 video that certain state league players from the WAFL were available in the mid season draft. I’m assuming that’s all there is to it and they haven’t actually created the leagues to be used in quick play.

Despite them promising it... Blatant false advertising.

I get the impression that the game has been torn apart, code-wise, in so many different ways (specific builds to show what they are allowed to for different events/streamers etc etc) that there's a lot of builds floating around in-house. Somewhere along the line that's probably where a mix-up happened. If anyone around here is into programming and familier with "git", it's like someone accidently pushed a build from the beta branch instead of the master or stable branch. Just my example, 2c thoughts.

All the state league teams logos and mascots are in the team creator options though, hopefully thats some hope.

My game kept crashing after each management mode game and I'd lose progress. Decided I'll try season mode and wait for a hopeful soon enough patch. On season mode you can't set the lineups, dunno if it changes off performance or injuries week to week, or just stays default. Very bizarre, wonder if it's intentional or another bug

Yep. The gameplay stuff being buggy and getting patched I can understand. But then leaving out features such as state leagues is absolutely unacceptable. I’d love to think they will add this in the patch but I highly doubt it as patches tend to be gameplay related if I’m correct?

OMG GIT, I deal with Moodle atm, for those who are in uni you know what i am talking about. The number of **** ups when a new patch is pushed through.........I feel their pain

 

[Millky95]

Well, my bank account took a hit on my way home from a meeting this morning.

Benefits of working from home this afternoon is I can install both while I’m working and kick into gear immediately after work, hopefully the patch is out by then being on Perth time and all.

If not, Hogwarts finally!

Guessing that means they’re telling us to make the teams ourselves if we want them

LMAO

 

[QuietObserver21]

Played one game. Took the option to not opt for a second & wait until the patch. Whilst expecting a few hiccups, I wasn’t expecting so much missing.

Well I don't know what version control system BA uses, but that's the thing I'm most familiar with and can use in an example. One thing for sure, for mine, what people are playing is not what was intended.

Probably patched the last minute logo numbers request onto a 6 month old build.

I want your disposable income

Look, I do alright but it’s definitely not disposable, I spend money on some silly things.

I do have a knack of upselling things on marketplace too. That helps out in some cases when I get interested in things.

For instance - I decided to take up golf, I bought a $50 set, sold it for $100, bought a $100 set and sold it for $200, and so on, my clubs are now worth about $1500.

 

[Mr T]

The game that's currently being played was absolutely not what was meant to be what was launched.

Large chunks of files got corrupt and put out what we see currently which is not what was planned.

Steam patch coming soon today. Ps not far behind.

Stats are meant to be in, better AI defending/ tackling etc.

A whole raft of things.

They will keep putting out patches to piece it back together.

I doubt we will see the same patch Steam get on PS for a good week, that is usually the delay that FIFA's title updates have because it has to have approval from Sony.

 

[new0066]

They stated that they would use actual game day banners in game, looks like that’s what they did

A good old side hustle, I think they call it these days.

got delisted from GCS after the first season. Thought I’d try to get them but they just completely disappeared out of the game. Couldn’t draft them in the national or anything else. Not a huge issue considering it crashes and quits out of every management mode game, cant tackle, move off the ball etc. bit of a shit show

This game has insane amounts of potential. I bet within a month we will all sit back laughing at this launch as we play the best afl game we’ve received. Horrible launch, but heaps of potential.

I've only mucked around with the goal kicking so far while waiting for the first patch, and it's very well done.

Realistic. It's Jarryd Lyons all over again.

 

[OhDustinMartin]

purely speculatory but this cannot be good for the AFL's relationship with Big Ant.

absolutely amateur.

Yeah it's definitely the most natural feeling goal kicking I've played with.

At the moment it's too easy, and there's no wind. The grubber kicks work the best out of all the mechanics.

If that's what happened its ridiculous incompetence though, test everything is correct before a game goes live
