What is it with AFL video game commentary? Why do they use the same terrible lines over and over every game? Some are still in use from the IR Gurus days.
To be fair I've been playing a fair bit of NBA 2K15 and even on a production of that size the commentary still drives me crazy with it's repetition.
Best commentary line I've heard is in Madden 17 when it went to half time and one of the commentators said "Coming up Bill's (or whatever his name was) half-time report".... I was key mashing to get to the next quarter and then heard " or maybe not ".... haven't been able to repeat it but cracked me up when it did happen.

The commentary in 2K17 is the best I've heard in a sports game. But not going to compare games. Different budgets etc.
 
Ballantyne for Hogan? **** sake you drive a hard bargain Demons

hey mate, do you get offers from other clubs for trades or you just request them yourself ?

Can you take a snap of the trades menu.

Damn it. That's exactly like Live 2's, just a different skin. There won't be offers . Can you at least trade future picks ?

And PS. Did Richmond accept that trade?

Seems to sum up a lot of this game.

The Be a Pro mode is, as expected, just a slightly modified version of RC3's Be a Pro mode, which is why the interchange situation is so messed up. I had a feeling that's what they were going to do. It's really hard to justify spending $80-$100 on this. So much of the design just seems so incredibly lazy and careless.
 
Richmond are still wearing the BLK kit (without the BLK logo) in the game
Yeah, I thought these manufacturer changes might have been included in the 4 gig update I had to download!
 
Why is everyone playing this with a side on camera? Why has nobody put the camera behind the ball, so, you know, you can actually see players down the field, and you actually have depth perception across the ground?
because the way that the camera turns makes me want to throw up.

Nah, so at least there is a limit. You can trade picks but not future picks it seems. Haven't received any offers either, I pressed X and it just skips the trade period.

I've got the following players so far this period

Bontempelli, Gaff, Shiel, Cripps, McGovern (WCE), Hogan, Laird, Josh Kelly, Buntine, Markov, Venables and 4 first rounders.

My list + draft picks would give me 45 players.

In exchange for?
 
Has anyone else had somebody paid a mark whilst over the line? Playing vs Hawks, AI kicks it towards Roughy but it goes about 5-10 metres through for a behind, but Roughy has started his marking animation just inside the field of play and dives, almost into the fence, for the ball. Mark was paid and promptly slotted the impossible checkside from the boundary.

Has only happened once in about 10 games but wondering if it was just a once in a lifetime thing or I'll actually have to defend every ball until it hits the floor.
Happened to me in my first game.

Honestly don't mind this thing, not because it's an immersive and great game, but it is fun and there's plenty of laughs to get out of it – which is why I like footy. The Fan Hub is really good and there's funny shit on there. I can see this being alright over a few beers and you getting angry over the poorly made parts of it.

Maybe we'll have a new perspective on it over the weekend when that happens?
