When AFL Live came out, besides pre-orders, they'd only sent 15 copies to my local EB, so they were snatched up within the first 20 minutes. Was the worst
Had to wait about 2-3 weeks until they'd brought in more stockAFL Evolution - Out May 5 - (Cont in LAUNCH THREAD - link in OP)

I am excited for the counting up time in game, good for close games!
I remember seeing a post earlier on where someone asked if it would be available in the USA and WW mentioned it would be released digitally in all regions

I'd pre-order if it wasn't WW. I'm waiting for street break gameplay footage from someone's Nokia flip-phone.
The rugby game?

I'll be happy if the game plays well and im not able to kick 10 goals in the first 5 minutes after only having the game for an hour, I want it to be a challenge on the hardest difficulty.

That's because 2k releases on the Friday for Pre-orders and on the Monday for retail sales. It's a pre-order promotion they've run the last couple years. But is a good sign that JB send things on time.

You're setting yourselves up for disappointment
Things may have changed now but this is the main problem for people who are waiting for gameplay vids, reviews etc. There is a real chance the game will sell out quick and not be available for a couple of weeks after that.
I know some people don't want to pre-order but it does guarantee you a copy at release.

Doubt it. If you don't like it don't buy it simple!
In the rugby game, it would also be relative to position. That is, a full back shouldn't have the objective "kick a banana goal". However, reading through that list, I'm not sure what objectives you'd give to defensive players. There doesn't seem to be an objective for number of spoils per game.
100% agree with this
Live 1 lost my interest over time because of how easy it was
I want the hardest difficulty to be extremely difficult so at the very least it should still be a challenge in 2 years when Evolution 2 is released
Based on previous efforts and lack of revealed content thus far, it's better to doubt the quality of gameplay until it's released. The set of features looks good, though, so hopefully the important bit - the actual gameplay - isn't disappointing. This was the case with Live 2. It had more modes, teams, etc. on offer than Live 1, but these were basically pointless because the game was such a piece of garbage to play.
