AFL Evolution - Launch thread

Comment on the gameplay video, little bit of info about a steam release i guess

It looks like the gameplay is still too 1v1. By than I mean, you can barely switch the play to an open teammate in your defense because there's always an opposition player right next to them. I'm watching a stream at the moment and the CPU tried to switch the play and kicked it 25m right to a 1-on-1 just outside the goalsquare; the streamer effortlessly marked the ball and kicked the easiest goal ever.

It was the most annoying part of AFL Live 1 and looks like it's carried over. Maybe changing team tactics will improve this somewhat, but still doesn't look realistic.

Also, the commentary is God awful, but we already knew that.

do people feel edgy shitting on a game thats been out for 2 hours?

Nope, bastards. Her word was that because JB "nationwide" doesn't have stock then they don't have to price match. Grrr

take it back nextweek for full price and buy it from JB.

Thats if the game becomes worth playing in a week.

Is every center bounce perfect? That's not realistic at all

Jesus. Who cares about the center bounce.

Thats shit, I got mine price matched and the the nearest JB is about 30kms away, dont even know if they had stock either.

 

[Gee Dub]

Guy at eb wouldn't let me price match, saying jb hasn't broken it yet here in Albury. Didn't bother arguing with him but I'm a bit annoyed now that I think about it.

EB living up to the campaigner status. most likely cut a deal with ww to break release date add $20 to the price and give 50% to them. If i was a console man id just get it tomorrow at JB for $20 cheaper

I'm gonna guess late June. Still inside the 2Q time frame.

Game looks super smooth when you get those handball chains going.

First negative looks to be spoiling. Seems hard to do based off the Twistie stream

Hard to get use to but it works wel

My terrible internet connection promoted me to use my iPhone data. Actually remembered I got unlimited data for the first month of my contract. Happy days.

 

[Coaster2012]

That twitch stream is pretty impressive. The graphics and the general mood of the stadium are better than I expected. Handballs look a little wild though.

 

[10571z]

The advantage system is a bit farked!?

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

JB Garden City in Brisbane have it on the shelves

Discussion about first impressions on launch, don't read the forums if you can't handle critical opinions. You think we, as footy fans, want this game to fail? No.

People will read these forums to help
Them judge if they should spend money getting the game this weekend so it's an appropriate time to point out pros and cons from a first look, toughen up.

JB Hifi at Forest Hill don't have it, and because they don't EB who do, won't price match.

Jb at knox has it.

Has anyone seen it live on the playstation store yet? It doesn't come up when I search for it. I hope that's just because it is not the 5th yet, and not because I am overseas.

It will be on the store on the 5th.

So how long should people wait until they post any negative feedback on a new game in your opinion? When does the statute of limitations on honest opinions expire? Does the game get better after a certain amount of time?

It's almost as if we're on an opinions board the way people are throwing opinions around willy nilly.

 

[HaroLad]

to be fair, when you play fifa AI on world class they make 0 mistakes aswell.

World class is easy mate.

 

[aussiedude]

anyone know what the PS4 Pro enhancements are?

Whatever floats your boat. However, people should be able to say what they think. It's nice people can enjoy it for what it is, but I'm disappointed by what I saw. I see the writing on the wall that they were picked as a "balance sheet" alternative, and I believe it's written all over the game. It really does look like Live 2 to me.

 

[YelloMit]

How the ****ing **** do you mark the ball? I keep pressing triangle as soon as it flashes white on the ground and I literally ALWAYS get out-marked. I can barely spoil as well.
