Is anyone else having the issue of online gameplay continually crashing mid-game?

Obviously a number of areas of the launch are disappointing and clearly underdone but also think there are a lot of positives- the graphics and players look excellent as well as some areas (goal Kicking, field kicking ect). Hopefully after the required patches are through the gameplay will be smoother and continue to get better. Feedback would be to obviously fix the issue with general gameplay and AI opposition as well as both individual and team stats shown at each major break and end of the game in the first patch. Excited to see the continual improvements come!

Never said he was? You are completely missing the point. He’s only answering 1/10 questions on big footy. I had to join just to ask and what about the people who don’t use it? Radio silence on all forms of social media apart from announcing the patch.
Ross isn't obligated to answer every single question on here.

I get what you're saying, but again, he isn't obligated to answer any.. I'd be frustrated with their marketing team rather than Ross himself.

 

[FearTheBeard13]

The guys normally put together patch notes, this time, simply put, it is gameplay and stability.

Has stats been added Ross?

Number 1 is a bit racist haha, if we said that same line but regarding another skin coloured, we'd be crucified.

Oh it was a patch… drip feeding

Noticed this issue during the launch event.

Hows the reading comprehension coming along?

I know its not the same, and its happening for different reasons...But...

 

[ShaunWDT]

Dangerfield should be bursting out of congestion in a realistic game, so that doesnt particularly bother me

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I get what you're saying, but again, he isn't obligated to answer any.. I'd be frustrated with their marketing team rather than Ross himself.

I think Ross is their marketing team.

Ross and the streamers all the gameplay footage was outsourced to.

could we please have the ability to turn off contest assisted movement its an absolute dogshit thing may as well not even play with it on just magnetises you away from the ball or two it no control over your player at all

 

[Secretma]

I brought the game on stream and it doesn’t get past the login to aka the press a a to start screen

+1. Marking is horrible and not in the slightest bit rewarding.

Is there not a setting to turn it off completely? Remember seeing it in the settings but I left it default

This is true. However realism in video games is incredibly important in our design, and as such, we have made the decision to incorporate just a little bit of bigotry and xenophobia to your virtual AFL experience - we call this "world building" in the industry!

Similarly, frustration, disappointment, and broken promises also aid in making this the most life-like football experience possible.

Thank you for your purchase!

Is the management career mode playable at this point in time?

Real life Danger would've been gassed by the time he reached the wing..

Some (well most) people are saying it crashes after every match.

 

[RayceHawk53]

Is the patch out on PS4?
