Hi guys!

It has been a while since we posted, but of course we have had our heads down busy with lots of things!
We have just learned that the new patch will go live within a few hours, so I thought I would share a list of what to expect:

General:

-Fixed VFL contracts to show correct players entering and leaving team.
-Fixed bug where players downloaded with a fanhub team would disappear when being delisted.
-Fixed bug where AFLW players were being generated in wing positions.

-Fixed bug where players were not being removed from injured or suspended lists.
-Fixed bug where sometimes users were stuck in FanHub screens.
-Fixed bug with incorrect player models being shown in the player select screen.
-Fixed issue with custom teams playing the same theme song. Theme song should now be linked to the team’s logo.
-Fixed bug where male players would show in the AFLW teams.
-Fixed bug that caused incorrect lists and logos to be displayed when returning to the player select screen.
-Fixed various player creator bugs that caused changes to be reset.
-Turned ambient crowd noise off while in the player driven replay.
-Improved camera focus in the player creator.

UI:
-Added Pause menu to quarter breakdowns.
-Various UI text changes.
-Fixed player indicators rendering during cut scenes in Pro Career.
-Fix for text wrapping issue when certain objectives were completed.
-Fixed legend element being disabled during team linking when it shouldn’t.
-Fixed play-on UI element not always displaying after user played on.
-Fixed the fixture image transition so that it will now fade up / down correctly.
-Fixed so that in multiplayer team select it will display the league name when on the league selection options.
-Fixed so that in the Uploaded Team screen it will display the teams league name at the top right of the screen.

FanHub:
-Changed the minimum players required to 22 for custom teams.
-Using teams with less than 40 players in careers will auto generate additional players to fill all 40 spots.
-Changed the flow of viewing fanhub teams and their line-ups.

Career:
-Added ability to start a rookie career with an existing custom player.
-Fixed last-played date in competition menu
-Added ability to change your name in Coach Career via the management options.
-Added option to Pro Careers to not have the pro player and direct opponents positions reset on stoppages (other than center bounce).
-Simulated game statistics will now be scaled to the current Careers quarter length.
-Players who receive a suspension during the season will now become ineligible to receive the Brownlow medal as intended.
-You can now select the SKILL tab in the season training menu and sort players by their overall rating.

Gameplay:
-Some speed improvements
-Improved Multiplayer invitations screens.
-Added gameplay slider descriptions.
-Added gameplay slider to influence No Prior Opportunity calls.
-Added option to have a continuous count up clock. Using this option will suppress the time warning at the end of the 4th quarter.
-AFL teams playing interstate will now cause less crowd hype than the home team when the ball is in their end of the field.
-Players will now turn their heads to face the correct directions during replays, not just during gameplay.
-Improvements to deliberate out of bounds rule.
-Made the AI more likely to be called for holding the ball.
-Randomised female draft picks will no longer be randomly made bald.
-Added a timeout when the ball is spilled and could trigger advantage so that if the ball is not picked up within the time limit then the penalty will be automatically awarded.
-Fix for players sometimes being snapped to face backwards when they attempted mark.
-Improved detection of hip and shoulder penalties during mark contests.
-Reduced the amount that the AI will pass the ball around their forward 50 when they should be taking a shot at goal.
-Fixed rare issue where instantly playing on from a mark near the boundary could cause the player to uncontrollably run out of bounds into the stadium wall before eventually causing a penalty.
-AI will be less likely to kick the ball out of bounds on the full when kicking along the boundary.
-Fixed a number of cases where commentators were playing lines that didn’t match what was happening in the game.
-Fixed a commentary line where it was using a male line in a female game. (Kicked to himself) when kicking to yourself after a behind.

Enjoy!

Is this patch apart of the DLC2018 pack or separate?

This is the list of improvements in the patch that everyone will get, the Season Pack will be available for purchase and download tomorrow and contains the new content.
Not sure if this has been asked yet but with the addition of the other state leagues will our pro players be dropped to state leagues after poor performances ?
 
Also when will the players be fixed there positions on field when playing career mode like small players playing full forward, and rovers playing in the ruck.
Is there a way you can fix this or suggest a way to do it yourself. as its really annoying like nick smith swans playing full forward, franklin on the wing.

thanks

Looking forward to these tweaks the most!

Wicked Witches, is there any possible way you could add a way to drop an extra man back, or otherwise have half forwards and half backs come up the ground more to make an ongoing press?

Hopefully this would allow for more link up play, (unless there’s a way to have teammates behind the ball run past for a handball, or run off their men for a switch, as switching is nearly impossible since the forwards stay right with their direct opponents when you win the ball at half back).
 
Lmao game is now completely broken
Can’t even get into the menu
Crashes straight after it I click ok on the auto save information

Glad they made sure the patch actually works before applying it

Definitely something to do with the old save files, if you remove them the game works fine but returning the save files crashes it once again.

Ahh okay cheers
So do I have to completely delete the game from my system and re-install it? ...
Because I can’t access the menu to delete separate saves

Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact we don’t have the update yet, perhaps it’s built to work with the update (although even that’s a problem for those who don’t plan on buying the update)

Update on SANFL.
Only looked at PAFC Magpies
Dennis calls them "the power". They run out to the Port Magpies song.
Only Power listed players in there- so SANFL players. Haven't checked other clubs re players yet.

Seems the whole DLC content was in the update
Yeah the patch was about 3 gigs on ps4

I was just thinking this arvo whether they got Dennis in to do extra commentary for the new leagues, seems they didn't but surely they'd just get him to record all state team names in the original session just in case (For all I care he can call Peel Thunder the Dockers and I'll just be happy to have WAFL in a video game finally haha)
