Multiplat AFL Evolution 2 - pre-launch thread

[Ambrose Burnside]

At least there are plenty of you ordering so I'll get a gauge on how good it is. My job's at severe risk with covid-19 so I'll be holding off buying any new games for a while.

Hope it's good.

I don't have any faith in Auspost at the best of times, I certainly don't have faith in them in today's world, but my fingers are firmly crossed.

I don't know I didn't do that as an option

I spoke to local JB store and they said delivery only unless you had a pre order before 25th of March.

He said order it online and it most areas will get it friday. He said they would pretty much only get the copies that were already preordered to the store as they really are trying to limit people going instore

Confirmation that digital is currently still the same date.

Confirmed

Amazon have now listed AFL Evo 2 but it is currently unavailable. I wonder if they are one of the "Few selected online retailers". If so and they get it up today it would probably only be 64 bucks from there.

So even if the deliver by date says April 23, it should come by Friday?

My local EB told me they can’t take any more preorders/sell to people who didn’t. Told me it was due to corona but based on past experience I’m guessing they have no stock left.

I'm really worried that the ratings for the players are going to be extremely outdated for this game, and having to change ratings for each individual player is an absolute trek. I also hope they don't do the typical sports game rating thing, where a bad player has bad stats across the board. I mean someone could have a really really good vertical leap, and be given a 65 for that stat just because they aren't a good overall player, when it should be 90+. I see this being a problem with kick power, strength and speed. Hopefully they don't just throw a rating on a player without doing any research.

Ratings are useless unless they actually correspond to noticeable game-play differences. You should feel a noticeable difference controlling Dusty compared to controlling Joe Daniher. If they don't manage to do that, then someone being rated a 95 means **** all.

 

[MitchLloyd]

So is it not possible to get it in the store?

exactly, but certain stats need to be balanced. Example: Cam McCarthy is an awful footballer, as a Freo fan, this is a common opinion here, however his shot for goal is elite and probably top 10 in the entire league. I fully expect Cam to be around a 73-74, however he NEEDS a 90+ goal kick. They need to have stats that fit each player

This is where the Champion Data input was to be valuable. With that on hold it may be a little less accurate.
