First thing I did after installing was head to the options and turn commentary volume off!

I don't mind the atmosphere, but I play it 2 player with my son. The weird thing for me is that when I custom make players, most of the time it gives them correct commentary but sometimes they get another wrong name.

Are tactics even available yet?

Believe it was suppose to be in mondays patch but didn’t & hasn’t been mentioned since afaik, if it’s not tonight or tomorrow, I reckon we might’ve found what broke the Day1

Is the bald draftee thing still happening? And does it crash when they get ball still?

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

They will be.

There are discussions ongoing as to what you will be able to edit with regard to those players, as they are not scanned the idea is that they will be editable.

Will the AFL listed players scanned likenesses cross over to when playing for the VFL team?

With the game being returned tomorrow (thanks for the trial EB) I'll keep an eye on the thread and hope the game gets fixed.

Just had a game on hard coming from medium. Fremantle kicked 14.0 for the game all set shots. Couldn't spoil or mark anything.

My set shots either went on the full or perfectly straight. Hit the blue and out on the full. Tried middle meter out on the full. Next set shot in the blue went in and from there after my half meter ones went straight.

There needs to be a stamina bar under the players on the interchange screen too.

Anyone know when big crowds are coming in for PlayStation? Or is it just me still getting relatively small crowds for every game?

 

[hooked on fishing]

Had a flick through the full player listings. All state leagues and players are already in the game to view but obviously unable to play as them.

Interestingly Martin Fredrick that got delisted from the power and found a new home at the double blues (Sturt in the SANFL for those not aware) has a proper face scan. All the other guys were the standard clone bald bloke. Almost every team wether it be sanfl, wafl, vfl had a player that was scanned but 90% weren’t.

I believe they should be there, might be wrong though. You can also set the crowd capacity in the settings if you haven't already tried that

Does anyone constantly get the commentating piece saying “he’s going to put this straight through the high diddle diddle”.

I don’t know what it is about it, but it makes me uncomfortable every single time.

That and in my 28 years of watching AFL, I have never heard a goal being referred to as the high diddle diddle.

That was one of BTs favourite sayings, but it's "down the i diddle diddle". still says it all the time on MMM

 

[Xtreme]

I knew I was screwed when Port Adelaide scored a goal within the first 14 seconds of the match

- For people that like Side Camera. Try Far with FOV set to 40 and Height set to mininimum. Best I've found so far.

I use Side Close - Height 55
- FOV 100

Really? I must have just never noticed it, after hearing it 25 times a game it’s hard to miss now haha

Doesn’t seem like I have that in my settings, might not be on PlayStation just yet.

How on Earth do you see downfield at all?!

Yeah have noticed Callow and Saunders at Norwood are the same. Interesting you’re still getting the baldies - I’m getting a whole range of generic looks but most have tats

For those interested, GF patches are on!

Fair to say at this stage I am on the drip.

Ross, bit of a weird request...when the dailies stop, could you please automate a script to tweet 'new patch!' once a day and we all download a blank file after? It's become the highlight of my day.

 

[Johnno2000]

He said hopefully today or tomorrow.
So many people take that to mean “I guarantee you it’ll be today”

I don't want to see the whole ground, I'm fine with that view, gives me what I need in the next line of play.

BigAntStudios cheers guys. The online games have improved dramatically the last 24-48 hours after the last patch. Hopefully forwards on from here. Was awesome that a replay of a speccy i took was shown after kicking the goal. So perfect as the speccy is hard to see from the camera angle i use online so a quick highlight was so amazing! only issue i seem to be having now is i cant win a single ruck tap even though im doing exactly what the guide says
The half back players running past for a handball in the defensive half is so amazing and as the handball to a player on the run becomes more effortless. This game is almost their!

I just think set shots and shots on the run are too easy. Every game is like 12.1 or 10.0 online. Should be somewhat closer to 50/50
Unless ofcourse a player has like a 99 kicking stat. Only then it should come down to user error
Finally enjoyed the game today (online)
Hope to see more and more improvements

Bit of a weird one.

After my game against Geelong in Gather Round, I was up against Port Adelaide. In real life this is a Port home game at AO. In the game it was a Port home game but it was at Optus. Really weird!!

Was able to take a few more intercept marks but they were all over me like a rash, especially in marking contests. Ended up losing by about 40 points again.

 

[tigerairau]

Positioning, player switching, ball physics, player movement, and difficulty all needed fixes! Hoping this patch has worked on these! Trying now.

 

[ESSENDON INSIDER]

this is rlly good and all but where tf are tactics i wanna start a coach career

This sort of thing has always been an issue in AFL games. Really weird cos it seems like such a simple fix. We know the round, we know the teams that played, we know the oval where the game was played. Punch in those variables and you're set?
