[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

BigAntStudios Are you giving the team a break this weekend or continuing the nightly patches?

QA are working through.

There will be a patch tonight for everyone, not sure if there will be Steam patches on the weekend, that will depend on QA results.

Hopefully a much deserved weekend off.
Game isn’t perfect, but the team are still all human and have had what 2 days off since release.

I'm going to reiterate something I said on the last thread. Games should be released to a playable and functional standard. That goes for patches too. That's how it used to be. I don't know what's changed. I'm obviously not in the industry but if something is hampering games working as intended then the whole industry has to have a look at that. However, there is no need to be rude or petty. I think people are just frustrated with this games launch. Keep up the good work however big ant. Long story short we should be able to critique he studio for releasing unfinished games and patches. We shouldn't get hostile however.

BigAntStudios, Hey Ross do you know when the goal kicking on the run change will be implemented

Yep. And there’s some people in here that have crossed that line several times.

Don’t even need a specific date, even if it’s just in the next week? 1-2 weeks etc.
I feel like people will quit the attitude if they have some answers!
Great work man!

If he gives a date and then it doesn’t make the cut like a few things have previously, he will be roasted. People will have a sook either way so it’s probably better for him to just do what he is doing. Confirming they will be in but can’t exactly give a date is probably the smartest choice for him.

We're still balancing it with respect to footedness/accuracy/wind/pressure/etc. - my expectation is now Monday, unless there are further issues found with it.

It's a very subjective balance, even within BA QA there are degrees of it being claimed too hard/easy with the same settings.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Can Hardwick quit on here too?
I feel McQualter would have a more competitive side!

PS: I’m clearly awful at this

Also discussing and having grown up debates in a text thread is harder than in real life. You can't tell what peoples tones are through messages alone lmao. Maybe we should all have a beer with ross and the crew instead of sitting at home

What do you mean by footedness exactly?

 

[FearTheBeard13]

...or you could just wait until the patches have all that you want, then play, while others play it incrementally if that is their want. Very petty, mate.

On that subject, how many much longer will daily patches continue for if you had to estimate? Love all the hard work from you and the BA crew mate.

I predict it will be nightly until we are feature complete, then weekly.

The team have estimated that sometime next week will be the last of daily patches.

 

[ripthebeanzzz]

Wonder what bs is gonna be in tonight’s patch. Probs still no tactics or fixing the shot meter

BigAntStudios does that include Star Team when you say features before doing weekly updates/patches

Hey Ross, have you guys thought about the goal kicking charge meter for both on the run and set shot goals to be a continuous acceleration akin to shooting in NBA2k? The speed of acceleration could be determined by skill attributes of the player.

I firmly believe this is the best way to add challenge based off the person playing plus the in game players attributes and also the feeling of satisfaction when it is pulled off

I’m sure Big Ant are sorry that every single patch isn’t to your liking.
Maybe you can suggest they stop altogether and release nothing instead and leave us with the current game?

The same goes for those developers who’s game(s) are being constructively criticised.

I’ve come across some (very recently) who downplay concerns and simply tell people they’re wrong and act more childish than those critiquing it.

Respect goes both ways.

I would imagine (and I have no connection, purely speculation) that Star Team/Pro Team will be held off until Xbox have access.

Hey if they didn’t bring the game out we wouldn’t be missing much.

 

[sakes]

Set shot kicking is better but still easy. Just had this belter of a game, what’s the likelihood of an option for extra time in online games in future? I love draws in footy but kinda sucks when you get it online, but also cool to see for the first time.

PS: I’m clearly awful at this

I got smashed by Sydney in this game

Yet the following game against Collingwood.... Collingwood was 1 . 2 8 - North Melbourne was 10.8 68



This strategy doesn't always go belly up for me, but when it does I pay for it dearly



I like the Indigenous round graphics on the ground, especially the flag in the goal square!

There will be more announced on Star Team/Pro Team once we are feature complete.

Wonder what BS you'll post next? Don't care, won't see it. /Ignore

I’ve always rated big ant in every game made but this game is appalling. And is taking forever to fix.
