it's a killer.Always 1 step forward 5 steps back with this game
See this right here! Give the man credit, it's way past midnight, his been seeing all our feedback and will get onto it first thing in the morning with the team! Love itApologies, not sure what's happened with the patch tonight, we will review in the morning and sort it out.
That's pretty odd as the PS5 hasn't got a patch for a few days now so nothing should have changed. I'll look at the online logs for PS5 to see if it's a widespread issue.And got someone different and different teams.
Canāt actually start an online game right now, constantly frozen at the same point of the warm up.
It was fine last night and PS5 hasnāt had a patch yet, whatās happened?
cannot imagine someone playing this patch at BA and going, 'yep, that's ready to go'.
sad for the dev team who clearly care for the game but the myriad issues are so prominent that it's impossible to have a non-frustrating time.
you have to laud the incredible work done by ross and the crew in response to the issues they clearly weren't aware of at launch, but quite bluntly, it's a month post-release and the core gameplay is a) unfinished and b) needs daily tuning to be playable. outside of that, the game isn't yet feature-complete, justifiable somewhat due to the state of the launch, but there's very little to go to.
I played a play now match, no bugs, launched a career match (PS5), crashed during 1st game, I sent the bug report with the clipThat's pretty odd as the PS5 hasn't got a patch for a few days now so nothing should have changed. I'll look at the online logs for PS5 to see if it's a widespread issue.
this is the bugbear that i can't get past.I cannot even complete a management mode match right now because the game will not let me proceed from the post match screen. Management mode is so incredibly dissapointing compared to even AFL Evo. It is 24 matches followed by a finals series and then a small trade period, with almost 0 management during the season. Tactics are incredibly scarce.
Well saidWell said mate. This patch is horrible compared to the state of the game 2 weeks ago (apart from goal kicking) almost everything is less responsive.
I'm tired of the culture on this thread of "don't complain, submit a ticket". If I submitted a ticket for every issue that needs fixing that I found in my last hour of gameplay, I would expect an hourly wage from BA because it would be a full time job. We are customers, not play testers yet we have been treated as such.
At first I completely understood there was clearly an issue at launch with an incorrect build, however there is no reason for things such as the goal kicking system to be completely revamped in the first month. Why is the system being completely changed? Was it not play tested in the months of development prior to release? Goal kicking is an enormous mechanic in an AFL game yet it is being completely rehauled with feedback. I would expect that in an early access game. Why not market it as an early access game? At least then we know what we are in for. We are a month into the (delayed due to a stock issue) release, yet we are still playing a game that does not feel near complete.
Simple mechanics such as handballs are still broken a month in. Players are recieving handballs and getting stuck in the mud for 3 seconds. This was fixed two weeks ago but it is back in this weeks patch. Players are getting stuck in a marking contest animation and being rendered useless until a stoppage. We are still missing pro team with absolutely 0 communication as to why it is not here, when we can expect it, and what we can even expect.
I cannot even complete a management mode match right now because the game will not let me proceed from the post match screen. Management mode is so incredibly dissapointing compared to even AFL Evo. It is 24 matches followed by a finals series and then a small trade period, with almost 0 management during the season. Tactics are incredibly scarce.
Do not get me wrong, the game has significantly improved since launch, but it is incredibly frustrating to log on and not know what state the gameplay will be in today. The communication from Ross has been good for the most part, and I really do appreciate the time ross has spent to communicate on here.
$100 is a lot of money in today's climate, and while we can clearly see that there is significant work being put into the game, we are still dealing with issues from launch with no explanation or even apology for the issue.
yesterday's patch did make things better with marking and the addition of tactics etc as Michaels said BUT today's (Tuesday night) patch has gone backward.Apologies, not sure what's happened with the patch tonight, we will review in the morning and sort it out.
If it helps - one of the games was against āCoulfffā - heās top 3 in the leaderboards.That's pretty odd as the PS5 hasn't got a patch for a few days now so nothing should have changed. I'll look at the online logs for PS5 to see if it's a widespread issue.
might be wrong, but thought it was said (at least on here) that pro team would be out when the game gets released on xbox.We are still missing pro team with absolutely 0 communication as to why it is not here
Itās funny since it gives you the option to turn injuries on but I guess thatās just a useless feature atm.This worries me. Injuries are a huge part of management mode and to not have them would be a huge letdown and leave the mode empty.
Yes mate I noticed it started to look smoother but last night was bad. Could tell you were flat. I mean how long do you hold on and keep grinding out? Thatās why I could sense the way you were talking when F1 is out next week AFL might go on the back burner for you.Not sure if you caught last nights stream or not as well, but the marking and overall game play last night I felt, and strictly IMO, was the best it had been in terms of all round balance (not withstanding there were still things to improve).
But since the patch from tonight I felt the gameplay tonight unfortunately took 2 big steps backwards.
that was really tough to play.
Went 3 or 4 games in a row where I was lucky to score 3 goals across all of the games combined and I could not take a mark inside 50 at all, was just impossible. the goals I kicked came from on the run players.
This was very prominent on Hard and Hardest.
I just tried a game on Medium and it still happened but I found my players were definitely marking it a bit more than the previous games.
The new speccie animation looks nice, adding in that it knocks players over adds a bit of realism too, but unfortunately I think it has somehow broken the marking / spoiling balance that we had last night.
Tonight was also the most amount of bugs I have noticeably seen in a game as well. Long stretchy hair following a player, random players 'dancing' inside 50 etc.
Yeah appears to have gone a bit downhill after that for me tooIts good to know that I am not the only person who noticed how the state of the game went backwards a bit. So I'm not going crazy seeing the differences (would say that Thursday nights patch was when it was last "amazing". Prior to that, I'd say when evading tackles was first introduced a few weeks ago was when gameplay was very decent).
It's not taking shots at any one person, we all want the gameplay the best it can be.
