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.

JNT for BA CEO?

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

Man, I wish things like this were a little more obvious in-game.

AFL 23 hits Fox footy

 

[SugarShane]

Btw what's the point of a coin toss and choosing a side to kick if you have no idea which way the wind is blowing?

You raise a good point with pretty much most AFL games, wind only ever seems to be a thing when kicking for goal. Would love to load into a game and see a 15kmh wind blowing one way, so you can kick out to the 70 from one end and have to take safer options the other way.

I think maybe 2004 had it, or maybe I'm getting mixed up with the mini games. Either way, let's get all the other stuff sorted first, but would love to see something like that in future.

 

[Swooping_Magpie]

BigAntStudios please fix your game. let me tackle my opponent thanks. when i go to mark it let me mark it please. 2 days in and this game is terrible

 

[Fear Boner]

Not sure if it's a PC thing or if it's been fixed but I tried twice to kick to the side of the screen that my player was on because I hadn't seen an animation of a player pointing back over his head. Both times it automatically changed my choice to the other side and he pointed over the opposition captains shoulder. Seems I can win the toss and still not choose which way anyway.

Blasphemy

Both are still infinitely playable today. And they are not riddled with bugs.
SWC '99 has the best sweep shot in any cricket game.

Yikes lol if the year was 2002 maybe d that's true but I emulated both within the last 6 months...

It's a hard pass from me

It's already fixed. People just trying to run Raytracing and Epic settings with potato hardware.
Played 4K with RT all day yesterday with no issues.

 

[FearTheBeard13]

Won the coin toss. Chose to kick to the right, game crashed. OMFG

Both are more fun than the current games!!

Does anyone else experience that the boundary is like a magnet for the ball? When the ball goes loose around the sides it’ll just bounce all the way out

Yeah, if a handball doesn't hit a target, it'll often bounce 40-60m and go out.

Been having some fun with the "Sim to this round" feature on season mode, these are the scores with 10 minute quarters

 

[random260]

All those "this looks like PS2 graphics" kind of people have in some small part contributed to the s**t show we've seen today. This is what happens when you prioritise graphics above gameplay, plain and simple. BigAnt have seen that as being the biggest demand for this game and have budgeted for that accordingly (although I don't remember people asking for a 15 second coin-toss animation). It seems people want to idolise those older games yet at the same time s**t on them for their graphics. Of course this is 100% on BigAnt, but people need to wake up and realise what actually made the older games so iconic and great for their time.

No. It was people that asked for random features like player mode.

Graphics being a evolution 2 is unplayable. I got it put the disk in and stopped.

If you're on PS make sure you have installed the patches I guess.

 

[Macca19]

I still dont understand why releasing incomplete games is tolerated in the game industry.

Its like going to a movie premiere and all you get is a camcorder video of the cast reading the first script.

 

[DasItMayne]

Don’t hold sprint while trying to tackle and make sure to hold triangle.

Marking is way too easy atm, just switch to the player in the contest and press or hold triangle; 99% success rate.

 

[kingbob182]

Can anyone else not see the wind in their game?

Yeah, vanished for me after the first patch.

 

[swanny3636]

I’m on pc and I installed all the patches

God damn that was iconic
