Proof the QA team must have trolled Ross and the company.

The QA teams only had the game less than 48 hours.

How in lords name does the marking contests work? When am i meant to hold triangle and release it? Everyones saying how easy it is, but for someone thats new to AFL games I have no idea, im holding triangle then my guy is going to spoil the ball on uncontested marks…

 

[KingNothing]

It's speculation mostly. None of us really know exactly what transpired.

Looool BigAntStudios guys the least you could do after serving up this steaming pile of mess for a AAA Price is just tell us what actually happened.

Only thing I've found that seems to work consistently is spamming the living christ out of triangle as the ball approaches you.

In your dream world maybe. I don't think they were trying to emulate anything. This is coming from someone that enjoyed Live 1 and Evo 2.

Give it a spell

From the motion capture literally being from Live 1, from all the gameplay mechanics being a clear attempt to imitate Live 1, starting with Live 2 they began trying to imitate Big Ant for obvious reasons. Very similar to how Challenge and their Wii game were straight up imitations of IR Gurus AFL games.

Big Ant are doing the right thing in theory by using their own games as inspiration.

Unfortunately they chose AO Tennis and Cricket 22.

Oh the crashes are killing me right now. Just won 37-36 with a goal after the siren and boom game crashed. Sucks having to do it all again

Don’t press skip on the final cinematics. That is an auto crash for me at the end of games . Since letting them play through I haven’t crashed

I thought they would have learnt from those experiences.

There is a settings/controller section.

 

[jdoggdrool]

I haven't tried it, and can't currently, but is it possible to play 1v1 in play now with two controllers, locally?

2pm roadmap, hey...do Big Ant have a comms team?
Never specify a time for delivery unless you are totally sure you can deliver it.

To clarify, they never said 2pm.

They said they would have a fair idea of what will be included in the patch by 2pm, with a roadmap to follow.

Just ensuring they're quoted accurately and seeing off the inevitable meltdowns.
