Yeah this is horrible at the moment but this thread makes it sound like Big Ant has been punching children.

I mean either just wait for the patches or return it. I'll wait to see if the patches make it worth keeping and if not then back to JB it goes.

 

[Impunity!]

I hope it tastes better than it looks.

I agree the aesthetic leaves a little to be desired but who among us would say no to a potato with peas, corn, cheese, spring onions, bolonaise, guacamole and a lashing of 300mL of sour cream? And for the bargain price of $35 I say!

Installed on Steam. Let's check it out

Godspeed Millkster. Hopefully it behaves.

24GB patch for PS5 is available now (at least, it’s downloading on my console)

Going to miss running around the field without being tackled to be honest

 

[kingbob182]

that AFL game you're saying is heaps better from 15 years ago probably still works.

It does, but my PC has no optical drive.

Pretty sure that's just the original patch that broke the game 1.000.002

At least that's what mines downloading at the moment

I have bought it and I will support Big Ant and have the patience to wait for patches to come in. Bugs happen to a lot of games at launch, it's a simple fact. It's not ideal, but i'm not going to throw all the toys out of the cot and cry, and be all woe is me about it. They'll work on the fixes and the game will be fine again. It's not ideal in the very short term, but what are you actually doing if you cancel the game pre-order or ask for a refund?? Wait another ten years in the hope that EA make a game and then they do make it and that game has bugs as well. Then what, the same thing happens again, lol.

It's not ideal, and it definitely needed more match testing before launch, I think the Xbox situation was just unlucky. In the very short term, yes, it's disappointing, however, only in the very short-term.

We know, Big Ant can do it and are the premiere in sports games development in this country, I think it's worth just waiting and seeing what happens for a bit, it won't hurt.

I get this mate but 100 bucks on a computer game that doesn't work is a pretty tough expense. those refunding (like me) are more than likely waiting for a few patches for it to be justifiable.

i love AFL games and will support BA to the hilt. can't get on board with an unfinished game that costs me this much.

And I think I spot a Kombucha

Washed down with a Booch yep you bet!

Glad I didn't drop $99 on AFL 23 and that I bought this delicious spud instead with peas, corn, bolanaise, guacamole, spring onion, cheese and sour cream and garlic butter.

If this is what I think it is, in the last two pages we've literally had misogyny and Sooz, where will this end?

No it’s not, myself and a few others haven’t got any updates since installing it this morning

35 bucks for one spud? Jeez I thought that twisted potato food truck was a rip off at 12 bucks

I don't have anything. What version does it say?

Ahh ok

Could have used an extra dollop of sour cream but otherwise it fit the brief.

You just put the disc in, it's not a new update.

No, I do get it, and i see your point for sure, hopefully we get some updates on the situation soon.

 

[kingbob182]

This was post update as well I dont know what you guys mean by the AI has improved? It definitely hasn't I feel it's just wishful thinking

It has on PC. But you can still run laps around them. They just don't really chase you. AI defence has gone from witches hats to me at Auskick, picking grass and occasionally paying attention to the footy.

 

[MadMundy]

Sad thing is the animations and actual gameplay are really good, they've put a lot of effort in, it's just everything else.

AFL 23 is the wooden cutlery of video games.

I would hope that you don't accept misogyny.

 

[Freo16]

Freos pre-season match isn’t even against the right ****ing team

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Played a bit, I think it will be fun once it's patched. That being said I have played the shit out of all the releases and forgiven all the bugs. It's just broken right now but once sorted I will flog it.

Couple questions though;

• Can you actually edit player attributes? I can't seem to figure out how to edit players.
• How the F do I change the sub role?

Joke's on you, I only paid $79 for a game that doesn't work.
