I think a statement from the CEO might as well be officially advertised.
Pro Team, half baked management mode... In terms of gameplay all we have that works properly is play now and season mode. Obviously 99% is an exaggeration but 50% of the game is just missing.
Love your videos bro but I gotta disagree on you with this one where has big ant actually proven to us though that this game was good before they have had no videos to show that ā after 3 months is just ridiculous no words about the Xbox version they just delete it on the site too itās bloody ridiculousMicrosoft stuff doesn't have anything to do with rejecting the game or not being happy with it etc as far as I'm aware.
People giving Microsoft far too much credit thinking that they would investigate a game that much.
like thatās ever going to happenI think a statement from the CEO might as well be officially advertised.

Iāve been having a great time playing after these last few patches, the release was a disaster but this is easily the best AFL game weāve had by a long way from a gameplay point of view.99% is obviously over the top, but I think the point is that nearly every part of the game is half-baked. The only obvious exceptions are the graphics and the academy, both very superficial which offer no upside if the gameplay sucks.
Everything that is core to enjoying playing is half-baked or missing or bug-ridden - and none of that was advertised.
Unless you are expecting Touk Miller to come and grab you on the plums to make it feel more 'actual modern footy', not sure how a VIDEO GAME doesn't play like an arcade gameIt plays like an arcade game rather than actual modern footy, gotta disagree.
What a ridiculous thing to say!It plays like an arcade game rather than actual modern footy, gotta disagree.

I somehow missed this post. Nice mock up....love the idea of the height / stats.Along with the long and narrow interchange/reserves list (I donāt know how Bigant thought in their right mind that would be a good idea),The inconsistency across the selection screens is whatās bugging me. For some contexts- forget which ones- it doesnāt show attributes of the player or height.
Also team selection is really hard to use when you have say Swans v Dogs and Swan players are blue and dogs players are red. Really confusing when trying to compare matchup attributes. Should be the predominant colour of guernsey for that match. Like what I had a rough go at making early on in the year. View attachment 1753238
Oh, I thought you were an Xbox user?It plays like an arcade game rather than actual modern footy, gotta disagree.
How, though? The contested play is really poor and nothing like the sport, and there's that awful stuck in the mud mechanic. Vastly inferior to Live 2011 and Evo 2. The 1v1 only marking contests that almost always ends in a mark is nothing like the sport. Why do they even have that as a mechanic in 23? Evo 2 had pack marking and even gave you the option to make contested marking hard like the real sport, so you have to be more precise with your kicks and hand balls.this is easily the best AFL game weāve had by a long way from a gameplay point of view.
Iāve seen enough gameplay videos and read enough paying customer reviews, itās ping pong and the modern running handball game is impossible to play.Oh, I thought you were an Xbox user?
Essentially it's just a kick, mark, goal gameplay style, nothing like the sport. The game punishes you for run and carry, which is the opposite to Live 2011 and Evo 2.Iāve seen enough gameplay videos and read enough paying customer reviews, itās ping pong and the modern running handball game is impossible to play.
The AI isnāt up to it, teammate and opposition.

Evo 2 didnāt have pack marks, it just had a bunch of players stand around the fall of the ball, the actual marking contests were always 1v1.
Thereās obviously areas for improvement such as gang tackles, actual pack marking (where players can crash the pack and knock everyone over like bowling pins) and better jostling controls in 1v1 marking but itās still the first game that actually feels like footy.
See this is just wrong
I play the modern handball game in every match, I chain handballs down the ground and for as much as people whinge about the player turning circles, it actually forces you to handball the ball in different directions to try and find space.
This is why you have to play the game before forming a genuine opinion, most people suck at this game and it ends up being ping pong because they just get the ball and bomb it long, if you play it like real footy and are smart with your ball use, you get a great footy game
That's not true, you could bump and push around players in a pack marking contest in Evo 2, it wasn't 1v1.Evo 2 didnāt have pack marks, it just had a bunch of players stand around the fall of the ball, the actual marking contests were always 1v1.
How does it feel like football? Nothing but 1v1 contested contests that always end in unrealistic results like a mark 90% of the time, that's not how real football works.Thereās obviously areas for improvement such as gang tackles, actual pack marking (where players can crash the pack and knock everyone over like bowling pins) and better jostling controls in 1v1 marking but itās still the first game that actually feels like footy.
Turning circles? Do you mean the players veering off course in a direction you're not controlling the player in like those curl movements? That's clearly a flaw, it's not in any other AFL game.I play the modern handball game in every match, I chain handballs down the ground and for as much as people whinge about the player turning circles, it actually forces you to handball the ball in different directions to try and find space.
It's not the fault of the user, when there's that "stuck in the mud" thing that stops you from evading, and almost every marking contest ends in a mark. Given the game hours of playthrough, it's clearly unfinished and does not play like the sport.This is why you have to play the game before forming a genuine opinion, most people suck at this game and it ends up being ping pong because they just get the ball and bomb it long, if you play it like real footy and are smart with your ball use, you get a great footy game
I've played Live 2011 and Evo 2 with the run and carry movement with no problems, 23 is known for being a mess with it's controls and "stuck in the mud" issue. And from the gameplay footage I see on YouTube, everyone just boots the ball to a 1v1 marking contest and succeeds. I remember when I played online, I was playing the hand ball game and was punished for it, because the players could not hand pass the ball past 10 metres, even when the meter was filled. I remember some guy scored 4 goals from 80 metre bomb goals on many occassions. Definitely an unfinished game.This just isnāt true, you probably just donāt know how to play the handball game well.
I use handball all the time, both on a fast break and in tight to get my players into space.
Iām certain everyone thinks this game sucks but the reality is they just suck at it, watching gameplay videos and actually playing other people online just confirms this belief.
Most online matches Iāve played, my opponent just torps it from the midfield into the forward 50, itās predictable and easy to stop, Iāll end up winning by at least 4-5 goals cause I handball the footy around, use short passes and actually play football.

Can you post a video of you playing the game? Iād be super keen to see a contested game with modern handballing as Iāve been struggling to get it to work since release

Some people may genuinely dislike it but a lot of people are complaining about things that arenāt an issue if you know how to play.Oh come onā¦
I know a few people who are more than capable of playing (and winning comfortably) on Hardest and still thinks the game sucks. Myself included.
You donāt have to be good at a game to enjoy it. Likewise you donāt need to be s**t at it to hate it. This is such a cop out to defend a horrible game.
Kudos to you if you enjoy it, but saying others suck because they donāt like it is a bit ridiculous
