is there any way to skip the coin toss, takes to long

Would be fine without the slomo and the captains taking forever to decide which end to kick to. If they quickened it up a bit it would be fine IMO

 

[pattymalone00]

With all the talk about future licensing Found this wonder if this shows how many iterations big ant feel they take to get the game perfectly right then

 

[BringBackTheAnchor]

The management mode crowd bug isnt a bug anymore.

Who said this game wasn’t realistic?
The crowd at Richmond vs West Coast today is almost identical to the game!

Geeze, 100k Richmond and 100k eagles members, but looks like they could've played the game in Ballarat

Could play this at my local oval during Covid restrictions and still get more people!
Embarrassing really

Oh man, maybe I should @ them. If they think that one is misspelled, they didn't play the correct team lineups for some other fun ones I found and slipped in. At least Mitch saw my other one and eventually recognized it.

Keep up the feedback guys. Lots of great suggestions about even the smallest things I've been collecting to be reviewed. I know some of you have also let us know things on the support site, much appreciation for that. I've been helping the team over there when I can, always nice to see one of my replies directly quoted here haha.

Can you comment on if we are expecting a patch today or not till post weekend JNT?

 

[RG16]

I am surprisingly having a blast with it, just stick to a few online games here and there while they roll out the rest of the features.

True haven't tried online today with the most recent patch. Couldn't finish a game yesterday with freezes, might be better now

Bloody Qantas couldn't fly 100k of us over.

 

[RG16]

So nothing till Monday now? Did ps5 get the latest patch?

They said they're working all weekend to try and fix the mess. Whether or not PS push through patches on weekends could be another thing

I know, I'd still expect some traveling fans and former West Australians now based in Vic. Most the blame is on Richmond

We’re still trying to find our way back from getting lost at that Marvel joint last weekend.

It's pretty embarrassing for Richmond.

Gotta support your team in the good times and bad.

Almost 50k at Optus last week during a 100 point flogging.

Just played a Play Now match and kicked a goal after the siren and it restarted the 4th Quarter has these happened to anyone else

 

[BlackMamba]

The speed of ball to foot when kicking can feel very delayed.

Yep… can’t kick on the run if someone is within 5m of you, or you’ll slow down, get tackled and it’ll be an incorrect disposal.

I wish more of these were like a skewed kick, or a tumbling kick… like how it is now when you’re being tackled to the ground and can throw it on the boot to get rid of it.

 

[bjp88]

No idea why it took so long to get through, thanks for letting us know you got it.

will you be looking into fixing the interchange bug? this weekend?

 

[guidodp15]

is there any way to skip the coin toss, takes to long

You can’t even select heads or tails might as well just have it happen randomly and you don’t even know which way the wind is going.


Also can someone tell me how marking works? Just played online and I was our marked in every contest even when my player was in front/ in clear space.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I actually don't mind the idea of having to slow down to tackle. Like sprinting into someone while tackling should make something like in the back more likely.

But it sounds like they stuffed up the implementation.

 

[freoman10]

You can’t even select heads or tails might as well just have it happen randomly and you don’t even know which way the wind is going.

You can, you have to click call as the side of the coin is shown, so if the coin is showing heads and you click call it will be heads.

 

[Selim]

You can’t even select heads or tails

you can, whatever side of the coin is showing when you tap is what you pick so you gotta time it

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

you can, whatever side of the coin is showing when you tap is what you pick so you gotta time it

Is that why it’s slow motion?

so is the gameplay

 

[FearTheBeard13]

Is that why it’s in slow motion?! Genuinely thought it was to showcase coin graphics

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Somehow Richmond is actually more glitchy than the game
