AFL Evolution - Launch thread

[GoldbergsGold]

Yeah it feels like they were on a tiny budget.

Advertising was disingenuous though. Bulldogs video showing all players getting facescanned and then only about a quarter of the list actually getting them. Built from the ground up when the career mode is exactly the same with the addition of a be a pro mode that's been ripped from their union game.

Facebook answers misrepresented various elements of the game as well.

Don't mind a shit game. Don't appreciate lipstick on a pig.

The writing was on the wall. I kept telling people it was going to be low budgeted with a source, but people just wanted to ignore and walk around that hard fact. Why else would Wicked Witch be developing it?

Has anyone simmed through the year and got to trading?

Want to know what trading is like, want to know if it is like in the past where you could trade 4 spuds and a pick 56 for Fyfe.

Also does free agency come into it at all?

Would have simmed through my self but just haven't had any time to play more than 30 minutes of it so far.

Why does the ball just fly into an opponents hand when you tackle them?

**** this cheap piece of shit.

 

[Mudeo]

Had to make an account & stop lurking to post this:
MARKING
* Soon as the ball is in the air, hold triangle button

* Let go of the triangle button as soon as the white circles meet.

* same goes for spoils just apply L2

= profit

Thats on easy. Moving up to medium the opposition will initiate early body contact and that makes it impossible to mark and almost impossible to spoil.

Then i figure out how to do it and i get pinged for contact of the ball umpiring needs to cool it in this game.

In the camera options does anyone know what the marking ones mean. Look at ball vs look at landing?

Returning this for a refund today.

Just cannot justify why it has the same price as AAA games.

Someone traded McEvoy for Gawn and Melb even threw in a draft pick.

The biggest thing I want is a button to hold up and take the free whenever one is called. Having an AI player fruitlessly tap the ball on and get advantage called is absolutely nuts.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

still better then live1

It's still very easy to rip off other teams, I find it fun though.

 

[Landgraft]

Negotiation is broken in tons of AAA games, generally it's either too easy or impossible.

Someone needed to just work out an equation to value players and draft picks, weighting current rating, age, positional need, rivalry, etc. Then you need to balance the deal to increase the % of it being accepted/declined.

It boggles my mind that more games don't just implement diplomacy the way that Paradox have been doing it for years.

Played a few more times last night, really enjoying the game. Changing camera angles helps the feel and working out marking makes transition much better.

Needs tweaks, obviously, but is a good game for mine because I'm invested in the sport already.

Im trying to recreate my afl fantasy keeper league on afl evoloution. But get stuck trying to transfer licensed players any way to basically create a new league as not to permenently move players from thier real life teams? Alternatively ill have to look at a way to have to saves of the game one for my keeper league teams and one that mimics real teams.

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

So its a really sucky game unfortunately. I know low budget etc etc but i spent $100.00 on it and it just aint worth it.

I see people are taking theirs back to the shop for a refund. What is the policy for doing that at EB Games? Can you just return it and say i thought it sucked?

 

[HaroLad]

You can say they lied about the game.





I can post more, much more.

 

[Mootsy]

This is a great game !

It might be an average game, but knocking them about their communication would be the last thing I'd do. Could you imagine having to work for them and answering all the goddamn awful questions that come through? Probably including ones that you've sent?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Anyone who follows The Czar (a 2K developer) knows how hard it is to program sports games; especially when us sports game fans are certifiably insane. He has spoken about teams of 10-15 employees working on a feature for 3 years, then abandoning it when it didn't work out.

And this is NBA2K; with budgets in the tens of millions, universally acclaimed as the best sports title and in the biggest market.

Evolution is a fun game with some good aspects and plenty of areas that need to be polished.

There seems to be a campaign by some to shit on the game because they are personally offended it's not FIFA. Go ahead, but any sales lost from the childish negative buzz you're creating comes right out of the development budget for the next one.

From the ACCC website:

Any statement representing your products or services should be true, accurate and able to be substantiated. There are fines for businesses that mislead consumers. It does not matter whether a false or misleading statement was intentional or not.

Answer questions correctly, or not at all. If I had known that the draft would be a complete mess I probably wouldn't have bought the game.

Go and start a class action lawsuit.

Put your money up.

Lol judging by your username and your comment you are living in the past, funny the big ant **** suckers are getting salty over people giving some positive feedback for the game. If you actually think this is just afl 2004 go play that instead

Lmao do you work for Wicked Witch? It's incredibly obvious that this game is not up to AFL Live's standards. Did you not read the part where the game glitches out if your player gets suspeneded?

 

[kangle4]

Can we please not turn this into another No Man's Sky.

If you don't like it just return it and move on.
