AFL Evolution - Out May 5 - (Cont in LAUNCH THREAD - link in OP)

Anyone been to target yet hoping it's on the shelf ? Lol

Yep, very important for the longevity of the game. With any luck, hopefully the AI can change its team tactics during games as well.

Yeah if teams could change them dynamically in game that'd be cool. Have a gut feeling that won't be in the game though. Too much could go wrong with it once you have the AI making contextual decisions like that. Teams flooding when they are 30 points up in the 1st quarter or something.

Love your work

And I yours. Did you really think that sprinting wouldn't be in this game?

Think by running he mainly means the open spaces to run into and little speed decrease whilst bouncing.

This decreases as Shaw appears to sprint - undoubtedly confirming that sprinting is apart of the game!

I don't know how it can be read any other way.

I just played a bit of Need for Speed, and can confirm, accelerating is apart of the game!

Thats all well and good, but a bit shitty that you have to purchase the DLC Braking pack.

 

[SugarShane]

Just for future reference also, "apart" is more or less the opposite of "a part".

I was told by the department manager that they're still not sure if they are getting any stock (as it's not in their system yet) but if they do it will be there on Wednesday.

Paul Roos / Ross Lyon dislike this post

I'll be excited to learn AI patterns, every sports game has them.... even Aussie Rules Footy on the NES, AFL 98/99, AFL LIVE 2004 - 2007 and AFL Live on 360/ps3/pc had them which made it VERY easy to score..... even on the higher difficulty in the recent games.

Just pre-ordered mine at JB Hi Fi. Whilst there found a DVD box set of all Hawthorn's 13 GF wins, only cost $50.

Quiver, Quviorior or however you spell it, there were many unknowns coming into this game in regards to features / game play and still a lot to be found out, this was a 'nice to see' that I was just pointing out.

I'm not sure if you even watched the video review, but even the reviewer was surprised and happy to see that it was a feature.

Agree, however, sprinting is something that should be included in all sport games.

A sport game with no sprint is going to be shit.

The reviewer was talking about bouncing the pill WHILE sprinting.
Not surprised that there IS sprinting...

Like every sports game ever..

I imagine that every single sport game since the SNES has had a sprint button. Its not a feature, its a standard.

 

[palmomagpie]

I'm not sure if it's been asked but in career mode can your player be benched mid quarter/game? Or do you spend the whole game on the ground?

Saw a post on facebook that said you get benched once your stamina hits a certain level, don't think you get benched for playing crap though

...still awaiting that 'walk' button though.

 

[Lynchy04]

Good chance this time next week someone will have the game in their hands! Be good to see more game play before then!

Hence the wording of 'unknown' the companies developing this game as far as I could tell didnt or dont have the best rep

Did it work well in previous AFL games ?

Agree...I recon that the North Melbourne video will come out early next week.

As in did it make you run faster when pressed? Yes.

What North Melbourne video?

 

[illnino]

What North Melbourne video?

Your mob apparently also got their hands on the game a few days back according to someone posting on here a few pages back. Said he was actually there at the time they were playing it.
