This might have been answered earlier but what is the deal with the marking/spoiling/hitouts in this game? Is there like a timing factor to it (is there a small bar I'm not seeing) or is it just kinda random.
I seem to have no issues spoiling in fact it's the only thing I can do haha....marking at hitouts no idea.

Whats the go with goal kicking am I meant to press O again when it hits the blue bit again?

1 - Reduce the 'tackle zone', especially for AI. Getting run down when you are 2m clear and sprinting when you're kicking (and not a slow player) is unrealistic and created the congestion we're seeing.

2 - Allow quicker releases before a tackle. If i press handpass, allow the tackle animation but get rid of the ball first. Too many times the tackle animation overrides the handball or kick even when all logic says the pass should be released.

Your points 1 & 2 are exactly what is being worked on for tomorrows patch, just missed out today.

Hmmm.....hopefully made the cut
 
Hey BigAntStudios and team,
Old man gamer here and I have recently dug into my skyrocket on the weekend and dished out for a PS5. I purchased the game on a PS4 disc and very grateful that it comes with a PS5 upgrade.

However, my question is... do the trophies you earn on the PS4 not carry over to the PS5 upgrade? I just played my first game on the PS5 (and mind you, the game is sooo much more fluid on the 5 over the 4) and I kicked a goal and got the 'Wave the White Flag' trophy again. Needless to say, there are now 2 icons on my home page for AFL 23 and I have to win the trophies all over again my the looks of it.

p.s. apologies if this is how all games work with the upgrade from 4 to 5.
I believe the standard behaviour of the PS5 operating system is that Trophies should carry across without us having to do anything. Perhaps after there is a refresh (earn a trophy on PS5?) - I will check for you tomorrow.

Must pester JNT BA or BigAntStudios to write up a game guide or instructions (other than just the controller layout) :p
There will be tutorials coming, but perhaps we should get some of the guys in the office to do a stream.

At the moment I don't think it works properly, if at all tbh.

Pretty sure the player with the higher stats is always going to win regardless of what you do.
There is timing and skill to it, most I've seen ATM go the spoil when the game is in the balance, to be sure the oppo don't mark. You'll notice when there's more around the ball/in the pack that it makes a difference too - if on hard difficulty, spoil that if outnumbered.

Same

unsure if thats good or bad news lol
As the content is already in the game, it's just code that is being patched in, that's generally "small".

Appreciate the reply, maybe I just need to get the hang of it better then. The tutorials would be greatly appreciated too would definitely check them out!

This would be handy!! I’m still yet to try half the modifier moves and would like to see how they’re done by the pros!
 
I don't have the patches from the last 24h yet but would be good if not all spoils resulted in the spoiling player stumbling to the side.

Not sure if there are more that needed to be added back or in but it'd be good for one of them to be for the player to continue forward momentum towards the direction of the ball.
