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

 

[Kidneykid95]

I noticed running is more free flowing, hand-balling is faster and injuries are there.

I'm yet to even come across an injury or a suspension matter of fact, but there are injuries??

Cricket 24 will be in a much better state because they have Cricket 22, Cricket 19, Ashes Cricket etc that have come before it so the base of the game is pretty much settled and will play similar. The game doesn’t have to be built from ground up like AFL 23. Most of the mo capping, animations, core functions and features are already there and built into game, unlike AFL 23. So I have no doubt the game will be fine.

Cricket 22 also had those older games to build on and still launched in a poor state.

Oh if we're talking FIFA than OG FIFA launched with tactics

No commentary or real player names though.

I get what you’re saying and it would make complete sense.
Thing is that I’d only believe this is Cricket 22 didn’t release in a similar state
Or AO Tennis 2

I have mix emotions about the game one minute it is really fun to play the next it’s not fun at all I do get why people get frustrated but I do think big ant not doing the patches everyday and just doing the big patches now is a better idea we’ll I hope that’s what they’re doing if the game still isn’t at a playable state after that then I don’t know I say just give them a little more time and be patient but this game has been a disappointment to say the least

My first Fifa was world cup 98 on the 64, so I'll take your word on it mate.

Considering those companies are building on games that have been about for over 20 year, then yes they would cop more backlash.

Tough luck isn’t it
We weren’t the ones saying the game would be that of EA’s or 2K’s standards
BigAnt put that on themselves. Whether they can live up to that or not is another question

Ah Road to World Cup 98 was better than the actual Work Cup one. Had that "Woohoo!" song in the intro and also a 5v5 indoor soccer mode too from memory.

Good times.

I can’t get through a single game now without it crashing in season mode (playing sanfl if that has anything to do with it)

Playing management mode in the afl seems to be ok

Some wins not counting online when the opponent leaves the match, probably about 80% of opponent disconnects not counting. My record is reading 13-9 and missing about 8 wins hahah

20 years ago NBA 2k launched focused on the game play core and in subsequent years kept building that up. So you can compare the launches for sure, like the didn't put the WNBA in until they had the core game where they wanted it etc, quite a different dev focus to how BA went about this one. I don't recall Visual Concepts being a massive dev back then either, they also knocked NFL out the park in meagre budgets compared to what they went up against.

Super Soccer on Super Nintendo!
Absolute winner baby!

Not FIFA but damn I spent hours of school holidays on that!

what's wrong with Big Ant setting a long term goal for themselves and wanting to be ambitious?

Not sure what it was called but I remember the first ever Soccer game I played had ‘Let me entertain you’ on repeat

Nothing at all. It’s the now that’s the concern. They said this game would rival 2K and EA

I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was but I had this one too!
Spent hours dominating my brothers on it and getting kicked off for making them cry!
If we played it now I’d sing along and be singing “let me dominate you”

Edit: just realised how weird that could read

Maybe giving more than 2 months and they can?

I do understand your point and somewhat agree with the concern but I take it more of a long term expectation they're setting for themselves. no one in their right mind should expect themselves to get to 'that' level after one game imo

Different era's too mate, can't compare the 2 on the female competition.

For some reason, most in here are happy to give BigAnt a free pass. Not sure why when it would be unforgivable to them for the likes of 2K or EA to release NBA or FIFA with missing rules, tactics, functionality, full player control etc etc.
Especially after a full month has passed

I have zero doubts in my mind that Cricket 24 will release in a similar state as well
But it’s BigAnt, so they’re already forgiven of course

To be fair WW was getting a free pass each time too. They were worst games than AFL 23.

Different era or not it's how things were prioritised, the pressure was there back then to but the core.

I’m not the biggest fan of the evolution games but atm they are still better then afl 23 afl 23 will be better I know that though

Spoke too soon. Crashing in management mode now. Great game too 2 mins to go and 5 points the margin. Enough to completely ruin the experience of the game
