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

I still have the Xbox version pre-ordered. Will give them until launch (vague late July-August for the win) and if it's not fixed by then I'll get my money back.

Off the top of my head I want handballing fixed, stuck in mud fixed, invisible barriers fixed and management mode to live up to its name with state league integration etc Then I'll consider it "fixed".

I don't play online and won't play pro team, but for those that do those modes better be fixed/actually released too as per the LAUNCH trailer

I agree with a post a few pages back regarding Xbox users not purchasing the game. I can't locate the post, someone else might, but Ross made a comment regarding how little market share Xbox has and therefore any loss of sales was not a big issue for Bigant from not being released same day as Steam and PS. This is why Xbox users should boycott the game! The pure arrogance of the man is astounding.

They may as well put it on Game Pass straight away then...

Surely if the patch is being held up this long, there's been a stack of identified bugs that they're being forced to fix before pushing to release.

Isn’t it meant to be the same 2 patches as what Steam got? It worked fine on steam, so surely there can’t be too many issues with it that it has taken 3+ weeks for it to go through testing etc

IIRC, they stopped the daily Console patches after that really bad Steam patch & then decided to only do steam and see how it goes and test before consoles got it.

Again everyone is assuming Ross is telling the truth about the patch being submitted to NACON. What if there was no patch yet sent off for testing?

I get the feeling Nacon’s testers probably dealt with Ross’ antics, saw the game and went ‘nah’ and passed it off to the aforementioned external testers to deal with

So basically handballed it to someone else to do!

Hope they pushed the right stick in the right direction.

I swear JNT and the rest of the crew must be playing a different version of the game to anyone else. First the handballing issue now salary cap issues.

It's like Baghdad Bob all over again. There are no handballing issues. The salary cap works. There are no Americans in Baghdad tanks roll past

So JNT on Bigant's love forum would actually ask if you were holding the right stick in the direction you wanted to fire handball off to or did you just push the handball button? User error apparently even though there are multitude of posts from people advising the exact issue you had.

I gave Evolution 2 a whirl, yesterday, it worked perfectly for directional handballing and kicking.

Agree with most of that. Management mode probs isn’t something I’d usually dig my teeth into, I’ll probably give online a go, have a mates son who has the game on PS so may try and verse him at some stage.. I haven’t purchased the game yet. I’m just waiting for them to finally RELASE THE XBOX.

That’s the problem right here big ant stuff seem like nothing is wrong with the game and it’s all our fault this is why this game will never be fixed they aren’t owning that they ****ed up

Did you press down reply or hold it?! Apparently it matters

Don't be afraid to go into the red, even though every other game has taught you not to and we didn't think to explain this in-game

I reckon tutorial mini games is something that should be on top of their list of things to add (outside of gameplay fixes). Might help people work out how the game thinks hand-balling should work correctly. Whether or not what the tutorial explains, is then translated in game is another thing

They could literally just record 10 minutes of the devs demonstrating and explaining how it works. The fact they still haven't tells you all you need to know... They aren't even confident enough to stand behind their own game.

Could be right. Still would be handy to have tutorials though.

Is the BigAnt party line still that the game was ready to go on day one but something unforeseen and out of their control went wrong on launch day?

Yep.

And the Xbox version was delayed because of shipping issues.

If people subscribe to that theory, yes. More likely reason? They needed an excuse for having a game at 60% capacity when it was time to back themselves in.

I do genuinely believe something went wrong with day 1 but since then the way it’s been handled has been poor.
