When is it possible to create player faces?

 

[ItsJonesy777]

It's frustrating seeing all these people asking for creation tools when the gameplay isn't even up to scratch. Let BA focus on fixing the actual game before worrying about everything else.

 

[extractasam]

No refunds. lol

Hahaha gee whiz that is unfair. Im sitting tight cause I feel the game will come good but there is not denying the game has major defects

 

[Blogbusser]

Who cares about commentary? You guys actually listen to it?

 

[shibby]

Mine crashes every time I try to play a game on Management mode. Can simulate through entire season, just can't play a damn game

Try changing the jumpers for both teams to something different each match, it strangely made Management Mode playable for me (PS4)

But give us the option to have socks up or down like it’s not that hard man why isn’t Hamish in the game yet where’s my creation tools is it possible to add my own face scan would be cool if they add that why’s it taking so long

 

[Michaels]

I've been running Dynamic End camera view since the start......after watching this video i decided to swap the camera to Side normal the gameplay is so much better......

I had been running end to end as well.

end to end was good because you could see what was ahead of you, but I felt that I was running my players to the wrong areas to chase on the camera swing, which I know is a me problem cause I have always been shit at it.

but this pulled back side on view still shows options up the ground.

will have to keep tinkering but I think I'm liking this better.

Yeah you’re right. Who cares if the description on the back cover is wrong
#GameplayMakesUpForIt

 

[DasItMayne]

Handballed backwards to a player running towards me to get the next kick away.

Are others have success in doing things like that?

Yep, will never handball to player facing own goal.

I'm a big Hamish fan and am excited to see him commentating on AFL 23. And seeing as he is in the advertising, i like playing how the creators/artists envisaged.

I too hate it when people ask for features that where promised at launch

 

[Michaels]

so something like this for example never happens for you?

Pickett with the long handball forward to dusty who doesn't break stride and nails goal:

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

And of course there's nothing to the rumours but let's be real here we have a group of 5-6 people who spend all day trashing something they haven't played or are never going to play it ..

Not sure who you're including in that group, but I for one still have it preordered on Xbox.

I'll wait a day or two after its release (whenever the **** that is...) before I decide whether or not to cancel it just in case the game still isn't fixed or there's another disastrous launch.

Anyone know how to get rid of the ball? Every single time I get tackled it’s always ball no matter what I do to try and get rid of it.

Why does it kick out of the full whenever I'm doing a stab pass

press square repeatedly

 

[jdoggdrool]

Just played my first game on PS5 since the latest patch. I cannot for the life of me take a mark. What is the timing meant to be? I can't even see a prompt for it.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I don't think we actually got anything that was in the launch trailer.

Even something as simple as "all 18 AFL teams" isn't quite true, cos we're missing at least one player from St Kilda.

 

[RG16]

Twice today on ps5 during the 4th quarter the commentary has gone silent and they've left early to beat the traffic, followed by the game freezing after a couple minutes

 

[Lmaps]

press square repeatedly

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing but the player refuses to get rid of it

No real improvement here since the patch.

Players getting tackled the second I try to to a snap/ torpedo.

Can’t take a kick from when it’s on the full because I get pinned when my player crosses the boundary line it gets called for a throw in.

Marking and spoiling is completely random

Please help me I haven’t been able to play the game for 3 days and every time I try to get in it says unavailable to sign in than it displays an error code I have downloaded all the patches and tried re downloading the game twice it still doesn’t work if anyone knows how to fix pls tell me. I’m on pc

I get the same thing on PS5, but I'm still on version 1.000.000 as I'm still in the process of downloading the patches. So busy, the time I turn my PS5 on, it pulls a new patch and I need to wait longer to download before I start playing, plus I don't put it on standby - saving electricity and don't trust how much electricity it actually uses on standby.

Hold up on the right thumbstick to get the arms free then spam square or L2 and square as well works pretty good for me.

yep after switching realised i'm in the same boat !!!

 

[UAWM]
