Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 with added Pro Team

[Kidneykid95]

Seems like patch notes are out already .. not sure how to feel about it.. thoughts??

ITS GONE LIVE ALSO! Just got it on PS5 = 1.7GB

Yeah something like pre editing stats before starting a management mode career. Or just being able to change stats on the fly in management mode.

I wouldn’t see an issue with doing on the fly in season mode, but doing it in management mode would defeat the purpose of drafting, player development etc. you’d imagine. I don’t think you can do it on the fly in a coach mode in fifa? I know Football Manager has the ingame editors etc. though. Fingers crossed this patch addresses at least the pregame without having to “copy” the team and not be able use in management mode

Sorry about stealing your thunder Ross (BigAntStudios) but

So turns out it wasn’t licensing that stopped big ant from allowing player stats to be editable

Yeah, it’s not really something I personally care for myself but I know it’s a big thing for alot of people, to be able todo. Hopefully there can be a middle ground. Will have to wait n see what edit players fully entails.

Would like to see it in management mode but you can only use x amount of points/stats per player per week

I reckon it’s only the ability to edit players to create custom teams to be used in Season mode etc.

Finally starting to play the game now

I've seen a 50m penalty be given (but no on screen indicator ?), I'm assuming a player invaded the protected space during a kick in - next thing I know the player with the ball is jogging past the 50m line and taking a kick just over it.

And the AI can't handball to itself, it's handballed straight to my player a few times


** Players are tripping over other players and falling on the ground a lot more frequently than I've seen in the past. Happened 6 times in 1 quarter (3.5 mins)

Worrying signs early on?

Which is probably why steam got it so they can fix this before we get it on consoles

 

[Tezdog112]

Do we know when the patch will be available for consoles?

 

[Xtreme]

Ok so after a reboot (Steam wouldn't let me video record or screenshot successfully) the 50m penalty does pop up on the right hand corner. But no other fanfare (whistle etc).

Champion Data just the latest victim thrown under the bus it would outwardly appear.

Not to sound like a maxi but you do realise licences are fluid and changeable based on the licence holder. If they spoke to them and agreed to change it (whether in contract or not) means it can change. This stuff isn't binary.

This is more than a generous interpretation - if they were that amenable, they would never have had the limitation in the first place.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Also how do you know the clause didn't state something that required approval before implementing? Anyways, the sinister view you guys have may be correct but none of us know and I feel it's less likely.

Things are almost never that black and white in these discussions.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Champion Mud is what's holding them back from improving responsiveness. Damn lawyers.

Benefit of the doubt only goes so far when dealing with a repeat offender.

The IP argument never made a lick of sense in the first place; they aren't license holders of physical attributes, their IP is their data, tracking methods and models. It was always a dubious and illogical argument.

Looking good. Looks really promising.
The text is now visible on dark colours - Hoorah

Alas the custom team cap remains

 

[ItsJonesy777]

Ross literally came out and said numerous times that editing player stats in season, management etc. would never be a thing and the only option would be to look at being able copy and then edit stats.

As they say, never say never!!

So is gameplay altered/fixed in any way?

Yeah fair call. I guess it would be ok to have there for those that just want to edit stats a bit. If they made it actually based on form/development, then manually updating earnt stat point upgrades wouldn’t be so bad. But it seems they’ve put a lot into the “development/regression” style that JNT mentioned so giving us the option to bypass that would probably just cause drama.

I may be wrong but I don’t remember Evo2 having a natural or auto development/progression - pretty sure it was just all players stayed the same but once you train them every few weeks they’d develop 5-10 OVR that year wasn’t it? I hated that because blokes I didn’t even use would end up on 92 within a year or two, but a bit more tightly controlled could work

 

[ItsJonesy777]

This is what I want to know. Adding everything else they did means very little if there’s been no fixes to the poor gameplay.

I feel like I have better control over handballs.
I may have given a bunch of 50m penalties. Wouldn't mind a commentary line though.
I would sound impolite and needy if I asked for 25m in tomorrow night's patch for the SANFL, so I wont.

 

[Chuckinho]

If anyone has downloaded any of my custom made teams, you should probably download them again to get the updated colours.

You're not a Bigfooty user if you don't start demanding things!!
I think a commentary line for the 50m penalty or an umpire audible call would be great!
