• no stats
• no tactics screen
• no pro team

but at least Big Ant spent all their money on scanning every afl player in and making them look pretty

That Day One Patch better be a bloody big one...

Pretty important part if the experience for me, what an oversight. There's not even a half time screen showing scores or goalkickers

Have you tried the new “Be a stats guy” mode?

Special BA initiative where you have to count the stats yourself with a pen and paper

Revolutionary gaming

Bruh if they really stuffed up this launch i hope a ww or ex ww employee shits on them

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

This game was “ready” early April though

 

[jc12]

Are there seriously no stats at the end of quarters because that's super lame

Wait you can't even pause the game and see stats ? If so that's a disgrace. This game sounds unfinished. What the hell is going on

 

[BubbleBass]

hahahaha the bloody game crashed f me

 

[ShaunWDT]

Bruh if they really stuffed up this launch i hope a ww or ex ww employee shits on them

They should be posting here just like he did in the reverse thread lmao

 

[DenieD]

and the game just crashed for pink panters AHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this is honestly disgustingly bad

 

[T2B_]

Oh this thread is gonna be (even more) fun for the mods lol

 

[mclovin99]

Maybe the delay on xbox was a blessing for us.
I hope not but signs arent looking good for the rest of you

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Still no free kicks basically. SANFL/vfl/wafl not in club manager option from what we could see

 

[jc12]

No match stats, no tactics, no pro team. Game looks like a beta version

Inb4 BA white knights come in saying that "ThIs WaSnT FInaL BuiLD"
Been using that excuse for months now. Doesn't matter if it's final build or not you're going to be judged by what you put out

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

Stadium creator the exact same as Cricket 22 and looks to be no state leagues.

 

[Selim]

No match stats and tactics is honestly very shocking I’d really hope they are in with day 1 patch but they should be in with launch abit of a wtf there

I'd rather be disappointed with everyone else.

So many questions about gameplay, features, player ratings, etc. that haven't been answered still.

A couple days ago it was annoying to not know anything but I thought I could at least check it out on the 4th when I got the game. Now the game is out and I can't even look at these things for another 2+ months.

 

[jc12]

Imagine if this was released in April, we would probably get a carbon copy of afl live 1 hahah

 

[InformHeskey]

Can we get a goalkicking challange like this game in a future update ?
2004 auskick space

Now this was a game

 

[BRAB]

No state leagues unfortunately

 

[Cryptic56]

So yeah state leagues were just blatant false advertising, from the trailer video description:

"Play Now - Jump into a match using AFL, AFLW, VFL, VFLW, SANFL, SANFLW, WAFL, WAFLW teams. Play at one of over 30 fully re-created stadiums."

[Treehill23]

Just imagine if the game actually released on April 13
We’d have a quarter of the supposed finished product. Not sure umpires would have even been in the game at that stage

 

[T2B_]

A new game crashing or having performance issues isn't so unusual these days (hello Star Wars Jedi: Survivor), but the complete omission of fundamental features like stats is a bit of a head scratcher.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

This game looks so much better to play than Live 2, Evo 1 & Evo 2 combined

Got ourselves a proper footy game

3 clearances for the whole game? Nice one BA

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Surprised how large the game file is. Almost twice as large as eFootball.

Stadium creator the exact same as Cricket 22 and looks to be no state leagues.

Theyve ported so many things directly from previous titles looks alot of lazy dev here, should improve with time but 80 bucks initial investment is laughable right now.
