I bought this piece of crap from JB for $79 what's the deal with returns? Will JB accept a return on an opened game on the basis the game is incomplete? Do you I have to go direct to the developer? They can't actually expect to take people's money for a product that is clearly incomplete.

Stop being disrespectful to pieces of crap.
 
Look, I've managed to get through about 1 full online game the rest either bugged out and froze in 3rd qtr or disconnected.

I can't say I hate it.

Obvious ones are marking contest (what exactly wins one?)
Same goes for the ruck.

Handballs to team-mate is close to impossible

Tackling rarely exist no matter how many times spammed.

Fix those things and you got a game baby

feels like i dont have much control over the players when not in possession, cant believe how long it can take a player to go in the direction your pressing, so frustrating
 
Just saw a video of a bloke who took the ball out of the middle, walked it to his own goal square, and then ran an entire lap of the boundary line without being touched.
Welcome to the current state of the game. This can be replicated with every single possession regardless of the difficulty level.

A true gem this game is 🙄
 
Hadn't seen this glitch LOL. Adam Simpson as goal umpire. Keep it in
I mean, no one can say the game hasn't been entertaining, one way or another...

I like the idea for archetypes in drafting but given that we know nothing about the mode it doesn't help. What archetypes suit my team, what are better archetypes, etc. Like most things with management mode, we need proper explanations or a break down. Pretty poor not to have one yet. Regardless of the hugs that were going to happen, management mode features have still been present, BA have just left it to the users to figure out which is pretty poor
 
Good on whoever made a ranga Joe Misiti though. Keeping the tradition alive.

After a few hours playing and also taking into account the various bugs/glitches, I’m still enjoying the game for what it is and hopefully the PS5 patch will fix up the non-tackling and handball glitches especially! Couple of pros & cons for me:

Pros
  • visually stunning (players & stadiums)
  • smooth framerate & speed in game
  • goal kicking camera/modifier kicks 🔥
  • impressive array of jumpers available!!
  • the ball feels alive (will be smothered, deflected etc)

Cons
  • tackling
  • marking timing (no idea)
  • the obvious AI non-pressure glitches
  • crashes a fair bit so far
  • EDIT - every contest ends in a mark unless spoiled. Not enough loose ball play or winning the loose footy

I definitely think whats broken can be fixed and 🤞🏽 by the time the Xbox version is ready to go that all platforms are to their best standard.
