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

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned before but…

I’m playing on a ps5, and the biggest problem I have for the game is my player takes a mark and immediately hand passes it on the ground where the opposition picks it up.

It happens like 80% of marks in defence which usually results in a goal.

In one’s forward line it thankfully only happens around 10%

Any ways to fix this?

Just to add to the fun.. looks like BA are introducing a league game too. Ripped this off BGL Media Facebook page :

They recently released Rugby 25 which is in absolutely god awful shape. Imagine what AFL 23 was on release than double it.

I really doubt the AFL was involved as much as was/is being implied. Doubt its on their radar at all really.

They are absolutely involved in a very big way.

The AI (for human controlled teams) can muck you up even when you don't intend on doing those moves. In a lot of games I often think of my next move steps before I make them. In AFL 23 it punishes you rather than rewards you for playing 4D Chess - thus I try to not go on instinct and pace myself so I don't always play on after a mark or kick instead of hand ball or hand ball instead of kick.

I don't want to bring up the cliche user error joke again BUT sometimes it is user error lol. Like I've gone to handball in regular plays in motion (all over the ground) and instead of doing a standard handball... I've handballed a short ball not even into space, it's like the player dropped it without being tackled. But I mostly put that down to the awkward control scheme + the way I hold the controller (especially when playing it on ps5, my hands don't like the dual sense with some games).

The thing is I haven’t made any choice. The player just handballs immediately after taking a mark, which usually results in a goal to the opponent.

I believe you as the AI can be screwy
I'll have to play it again and more frequently when I return from QLD..

I've had situations like it occur with me but that's usually after I've button mashed out of frustration lol.

Have you heard anything about AFL26 ?

The only way this happens is if you’ve mashed the handball button before a mark, so it’s basically got a few button presses still queued up.

So why are you mashing handball either before or during a marking attempt ?

That’s probably it

Will try now only press once when attempting a mark

Thanks

I didn’t know Namco did controllers - to busy to approve more patches I guess

Wonder how many software/firmware patches it requires to be at a working state

I see this game is now on sale for 33 dollar bucks down from a reduced price of 48 dollar bucks. When did the default price get slashed by over half?

No idea but I’d suggest it’s because they’re apparently re-releasing AFL23 this year with a bunch of ProTeam stuff.
According to Twistie anyways. Who knows how accurate this is

The balls on that company if they do.

An oldie but a goodie an invisible wall stopping a player from being tackled

Reached the magic number where the scoreboard failed to register a score after my last goal (still had 13 minutes in the final quarter as well lol). However the stats kept tracking elsewhere - I think 225 goals was the trigger, I let the AI score afterward to see if the Essendon score would continue to count but it didn't

The Worepedo kicked over 100 goals

Odd to cap it but the 255 (256 including 0) makes sense in nerd talk

Capped at 225, not 255.

Great pickup. No idea then.

 

[21C]

Well the total number of scoring kicks for the game does equal 256 so it does make sense.

 

[Xtreme]

I'd be interested to know what they did and why. In my hey day I've scored 1800+

Haven't been able to do it since their last few game play patches (long before the pro mode focus). I can get on a good run of 4-6 goals per minute, then the AI just goes into God mode and ends up playing keepings off which wastes 2-3 minutes of real time before I can go on my next scoring run.

From this tweet, perhaps, there won't be a AFL 25.

Not really. Why they'd be storing the score in bytes rather than ints is just strange.

 

[Nicho50]

They have announced they are releasing Pro Team for Cricket 24 next week , so fair to say a lot of effort will be going into that rather than a new AFL game?

Guernseys too? I hope they actually update everything
