[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

such in the case of a certain person not caring about the player radar overlapping with the set shot meter).

from what Ross on here said they know about it but it is not game-breaking. That doesn't mean they aren't going to fix it.

Next 7 days for PS users….might as well be AFL23 Beta

The game doesn't crash but its harder to play! Should be as important to fix as teleport tackles and stuck in mud movements.

Somehow I don’t think handballs going in the opposite direction of the way you’re pointing is ‘user error’
Likewise when players run past the man with the ball. Can’t do much about that regardless of age lol

I have never seen either of these on PS5.

must be your camera angle ?

Handballs rarely go to the intended player oh I wanted to pass it to the player directly in front..... not to the player further away on the wing!!

Relax guys cricket is releasing soon for them so it was always on the cards that the attention would move to that quickly.

Obviously would have been more ideal if the game launched in a better state but I think you lot on the PS were dreaming if you were going to get regular patches with cricket coming out soon.

So you actually think that despite the game being released in the state it was in, that after a month its just tools down and move onto the next game? You’re not considering how we’ve all paid money for a product or Big Ant’s reputation? Not to mention how the game was delayed on a platform and still today isn’t available to play in its entirety. Get real mate. If it stops now the AFL probably pull the pin on the next game given how badly this one has been received.

Ross himself has acknowledged on Michaels stream that handballing needs a lot of work as it’s one of the main complaints
Not sure how it’s even debatable at that point

On Big Ant developing it at least, best case scenario

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the fact that the tweet says:

We will also have an update on the AFL23 XBox release….

Makes me think there may not actually be a date given yet otherwise surely you’d say Xbox release date?

Like I said, could be just my way of thinking

Frustrating that’s for sure. Prior to whatever the latest PS5 patch was, I hadn’t had a game crash in weeks. Now I’m having to try 2-3 times to finish a match. Logging and reporting every crash report on the PS5 but frustrating that’s it been a week and we haven’t even got a single stability patch. I don’t care about features as such, at this stage I just want to at least enjoy the game without it crapping itself 20-30 minutes in.

Can we least have tactics prior to the weekend and be where Steam was prior to the 'buggy' patch BigAntStudios by any chance?

Yeah, this.

I know it’s been answered in the past, but just confirming, when my game craps itself on PS5 and I log a PS report with video etc. does that reach you guys? JNT BA BigAntStudios Happy to raise a support ticket if not

Didn't say they were stopping but it was clear as a day and always on the cards that as soon as they had AFL in a "playable state" they would move on and focus more on cricket. I know they say they have different dev teams etc but when your working on what 4 sports titles in a short period of time.... Ross even said it himself that once the game play was up to scratch in their eyes the patches would become less frequent which is what they hoped originally that by 3-4 weeks it would be mostly cleaned up.

People complaining now about waiting a week for a patch better get used it to it that you will have to wait a week for the next updates.

 

[CraigMc24]

The so called god status pre launch was worse than the game we have now ?

I didn't see as many stupid glitches during pre launch compared to now so I have no clue how you came up with that conclusion.

Again you make no sense and are all over the place.

Even the other supporters of BA are saying the pre launch was better than what it is now. How can you call this trash where there is barely any player growth in manager mode, s**t ratings , glitch after glitch better than pre launch?

Yes and I’ve never seen any so called big ant supporter say that that pre launch was better than now, if you can quote any that have said that I’ll happily take a loss on it.

Anyway Im not going to explain myself again. If you can’t understand what I’ve been saying, even after making it easy for ya, nothing I can do

Let’s just agree to disagree on this one mate. Let’s just hope the game can continue to get better for everyone.

Wouldn’t complain if the game was actually up to scratch. I think that’s where the frustrations stems from

What a satisfying goal on an angle watching it curve into the goals. There’s so much this game gets right but the bugs and crashes are sooo frustrating

From Michaels stream the other day it did look a lot more fluid than what I got to play last night and this morning and if that is the standard then it isn't that bad they could then do small updates and get the management mode etc more up to scratch. I would have thought with Cricket coming up shortly then Rugby they won't sit back and patch this game every single day like they had been so that is what I am saying don't get disappointed that they are moving to weekly releases for consoles.

You seemed to imply it was stopping…..irregardless I think even Ross could say as of right now its not at the standard they’d want it to be. I get your point, they have a lot of games to work on, but if the patching and work stops now then I can’t imagine how that benefits anyone. I’m in the boat of a lot of others in here who check in sporadically after a patch in hopes the game is better but its kind of just in limbo now. I hope Big Ant keep chopping away because at the core the game is so close to being playable. If it all stops now they’re gonna lose a lot of customers I’m guessing.

I never implied it was stopping I just said it was always on the cards if you read the posts from weeks ago they would spend the first few weeks daily patching the game to get it "playable" then it would go to weekly or less frequent updates. They spelled it out clearly then and even more so now the reasons why consoles are going to be weekly.

The patching isn't stopping, its the frequency for consoles and if they feel like they had the gameplay under control a few days ago then it would just be minor changes on steam and if it all goes okay they will release at that weekly cycle on console which is fair enough and makes total sense.

I agree and said in Michaels stream last night that the game looks like it’s playing much better. The issue still remains that PS is roughly 7 days away from playing like that. Not to mention we already haven’t had a patch since Saturday.
The main priority should have been to get both versions up to scratch and then start the weekly patches.

I always do both mate, just in case

 

[BigAntStudios]

Moving to weekly patches is to provide more stability on Console as they cannot be wound back (as Steam can). This is still way more agile than the vast majority of Console games.

There is no way we can do complete sweeps of game testing on a daily basis, there are so many elements to test, especially with the combinations of available Academy content.

I am hesitant to release patches on a Friday as if anything goes wrong then the chances of getting things through Europe on the weekend is slim.

Yeah, we get a crash report and video - helps a lot.

is it possible for the patch on June 5 which Steam & PS4 got, being added to PS5 today? that way both PS4 & PS5 would only be 1 patch behind steam and PS5 gets tactics

If it’s successful on steam, why would it be any different on PS ?
Why not just release the tactics patch that steam got on Monday that worked fine ?

I think last nights steam patch has been accepted pretty well to get through the weekend on consoles.

We just want to play around with tactics over the weekend!
