I get that it would possibly look better to have the camera on the other wing at some venues like Adelaide oval but if it’s possible to look into as an option, I’d still personally prefer to have it on the broadcast side (just my opinion)

That's what I was trying to get at with my "wrong way around" comment. I mean I personally enjoy playing from the view as if it's being broadcasted.

There have been changes but tomorrow will see a more definitive set of difficulties as we use the analytics of w/l ratios of players in the 10000's of matches played so far.

Rosssss custom teams in season mode???

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

anything for PS?

Most likely around 3AM if they’ve pushed it out.

Okay its actually a bit more responsive now and the teleporting tackles seems to have been fixed. Difficulty is still out of wack.
Not perfect, but this is definitely playable.

teleporting tackles seems to have been fixed.

This is all I needed to hear to fire it up and have a crack tonight

 

[SledgeMania]

Currently at half time of a quick game and it feels much better.

Players continue running when receiving a handball. Handball chains can actually happen now.

Ai teleport tackling happens much less but still a few instances. Centre clearances are much easier.

Sadly still no tactics, and interchange and sub still doesn't seem to work for play now.

Good news! The difficulties seem to be all over the shop, I seem to have a hard time in medium but find hardest easy which shouldn’t be the case, I feel like they are all backwards, no one will want to play the game if they’re constantly struggling.

I'm playing like the real life Hawthorn at present soooooo its to be expected!

 

[Johnno2000]

I've got an undefeated Geelong next in season mode, was waiting until tonight's patch to have a go at it... Might be a bit of an outlier considering they seem to be OP but I will check it out now

 

[dont argue 04]

We are back baby !!!! 1/4 in and i'm all about it

 

[SledgeMania]

Player turning still feels slow and can't rotate after a mark/free kick

Attached screenshots of the guide

For everyone asking for the bounce button:

 

[Quivorir]

The camera is on the other wing, it's not the wrong way around.

If you were sitting on that wing, it is the view you would have.

That is some spin.

 

[tigerairau]

5 seconds into the new patch

manager mode crowds are fixed, pack it up boys our job is done

 

[Quivorir]

Streaming now to test the patch

Brother, chuck your twitch link in your sig please.

First thoughts. Handball recieves are SO much better, but I've just had my second crash since the game released.

 

[UAWM]

First quarter thoughts, definitely feels more "free" more space is around, handballing feels much better also. Difficulty still seems weird, some games its impossible to win and others its very easy
