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

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

Correct me if I’m wrong but, have ps5 users been deprived to just two patches over the last 14 days?

 

[pd_89]

I cannot get through 2 games on PS5 without it crashing. I've heard that consoles get their patches weekly now which is shocking, meaning the game is unplayable for me until the next patch comes out.

I've submitted crash reports but when I pay $100, the very least you can do is submit a quicker patch to make the game playable.

The game is pretty easy when you play a boring kick mark style of play
The inaccuracy of handballs makes it harder to play a fast paced game. Not impossible, but just more likely to get hurt on the turnover. Which ironically is realistic but I hate that it’s because handballing is broken

Interesting, I haven't found this when playing on recent patches now that marking contests are fixed. If I bomb it long it doesn't often work and if I go short and hit targets that's not perfect either.

It’s 3, I stand corrected

Pretty sure the last PS5 patch was on the 3rd June. There was a very small stability one but the 3rd was the last one of any substance.

See this exactly what I think must be happening because I see people get on here complain hardest is too hard but then hardest is apparently still to easy for some. Those who find hardest easy, must have worked out a way to play like as you say the boring kick mark which might have become a cheat code for those people.

You said handballing is realistic yet broken. What if, what you think is broken, is actually by design to make the game seem more realistic? obviously I have no idea lol

Sorry I didn’t mean handballing was realistic, I meant playing a fast paced gamestyle is realistic because generally you get burnt on the turnover in this game
Problem is that the turnover comes from inaccurate handballs which you can’t control
Ross did say Hardest will get harder so I expect player positioning to play a bigger factor in the future, but right now playing fast paced isn’t the best way to play just because handballing is so broken

Ah yep gotcha.

I’m on PS5 mind you
So I don’t have the luxury of the latest patches lol
I find that hitting short targets all the way up the ground is quite easy
I don’t like to play that way but with handballing the way it is

 

[new0066]

To quote Ross's comment earlier: "Difficulty is currently linear from the easiest to the hardest, it is being further balanced each patch, I expect that the hardest level will become a lot harder." So at the moment there is no difference.

You have mis understood what he said. By linear he means that the difficulty increases in a linear method.

Example: Easiest = 20%, Easy = 40%, Medium = 60% Hard = 80% & Hardest = 100%

That’s what he means by linear, not that Easiest = Hardest

I got a PS5 last Saturday and haven’t had an update yet!
It was me, I’m the cursed one!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

And it just occurred to me I still have my PS4 and haven’t touched it since despite the option of tactics.
Time to have a look see!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Played one quarter back on PS4 and since upgrading to PS5 the graphics, frame rate and general smoothness of the game looks so much worse on PS4.
I’ll wait a few days and get tactics on PS5

 

[Xtreme]

Compare the pair

Spoiler

One match in the rain and thus was impossible to mount a proper comeback from.
The other game in dry conditions was a regulation come from behind victory.

Deprived a little dramatic.

Given XBox users have been deprived since launch. Fair call!

 

[Kidneykid95]

Patch tonight for Steam or Console?? BigAntStudios

 

[illnino]

Patch tonight for Steam or Console?? BigAntStudios

My expectation is it will be tomorrow - however I can't guarantee it.

Tomorrow I would think mate!
That’s what Rossy said without any absolute guarantees.
Happy to wait and make sure it’s right!
Hopefully it’s a big chunky one full of the good stuff!

Yeah just wasn't sure if it meant overnight/tomorrow or if it meant work on it tomorrow for a Wednesday release.

But yes absolutely, happy to wait, get it right and fingers crossed it's full of good things considering it's been a while

 

[dylan7]

Hey steam users, have you guys found tactics changed the gameplay completely? Being a ps5 owner very keen for next patch.. which tactics does everyone think work best? Being a Essendon fan obviously want to create there game style.. any suggestions?

Public holiday today in most states including Vic. I don’t imagine many/any BigAntStudios staff were working today.

All in their team.
That’s a lot of trading or some questionable delistings for free agency pick ups.

Is that going to be looked at? I think 2 maybe 3 trades per club should be an absolute maximum before it starts getting a bit much.

Of course, I think I just had a blonde moment LOL ... I wish I could take back that last 5 mins of communication LOL

Look forward to what tomorrow's updates will bring either way!

Far worse has been posted over the last 2 months!!

Another feature I haven't really used since it was introduced (along with management mode, nor have I mucked around with interchange or subs lol). I mostly just leave it on the default settings, although when I've tinkered with them such as this:

Spoiler

I only have issues at the center square and it depends on if I win the hit out or not. I do like that I can generally keep the ball within my forward 50 after scoring a behind.
