Except how games are made

So there's no difference in the development strategy between a AAA studio and a backwater Australian based developer.

How odd.

So you think that the talented blokes in a dev team doing all the coding programming, AI, nuts and bolts stuff under the hood are going to get pulled away to make shitty PNG and Indian teams.
That's for the work experience kids.

Anyway we are going around in circles mate, I'd like Free agency in too all I'm saying is I'd rather them get other, more important stuff right first than worry about it first time around.

I'm surprised about how much you know about the inner workings of wicked witch. Congrats on that

Free Agency would also be pretty hard to properly integrate I would imagine, even on big titles like FIFA it's still only done at a very basic level.
Because EA don't give a shit about anything except for Ultimate Team.

Free Agency would be fairly straightforward to implement if they've got trading in the game.

Yeah FA shouldn't be hard to implement at all, EA are just lazy with career mode. Still have glitches in that game that were there 3 years ago.

Meanwhile NBA 2K had full FA about 10ish years ago?

Funnily enough there wasn't FA in 2k MyCareer as recently as about 2 years ago.
 
You can still play against your parent club if you're loaned out in FIFA. That's a 'bug' that has never been fixed. FIFA's loan deals/contracts are also extremely inaccurate across the board. If you can't get it from EA, you're not gonna get it from WW. I don't mind if free agency isn't implemented, it'd be pretty difficult to do so.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'd rather have a basic feature like Free Agency rather than 10 or so International teams.

You can't blame the AFL for wanting to exploit the only opportunity they have to expand the game in to the international market. If we have any hope of a follow up game, this is the opportunity to gain funds and interest from overseas gamers.
 
Does anyone know if we can receive trade offers? I remember there would be a ton of offers in AFL 2005 but in live 2, other teams make trades but you are responsible for all the trades at your club, you would not receive any offers.

Association/MyGM/MyLeague I was talking about.

The 2K FA and trading logic lags way behind the quality in the rest of the game.

If you try to trade a (let's say) point guard in 2k to a team that only has one on their list, the AI looks at the trade and sees that the team will only have two PG's once it's completed and says 'no thanks, this trade will leave us too light on at point guard'. Carn.

The AFL would've had a heavy hand in the AFLW, I doubt they'd flag the non-licensed international teams with fake players has their way to "tap into the international market".

Let's not hold it in high regard, the 2k trading logic is dogshit for a game with such a high budget.

The international teams would've taken next to no time to put in there as the assets (guernseys,logos etc) would've just been carried over from Live 2 whereas fa would've taken a fair bit of time to implement

Once WW have managed to get the trade system working well then they can build on that with free agency further down the road

Ive played MyLeague and handled all 30 teams rosters myself the past 2 years because the AI logic was so bad. I still recall Boston having Rondo, trading for Derrick Rose, and then signing Chris Paul as a FA.

From what I see, it's still bad.
 
Is anyone else excited about this Friday? My hype meter is a 7 or 8.

If I was told the game can be made sloppy (fluffed kicks, fumbles etc) and the player ratings had a massive impact in-game (i.e.players with 10 speed ratins are really slow, and players with 10 kick accuracy can barely hit a target), I'd be at a 10.

Agreed! I'd also be happy just knowing that even the controls are more layered and there's ways to learn or discover new controls as we get better at the game.

I'm hoping things like
"Tap loose ball"
Clearance kicks
Couple of different types of soccer off ground
Added with dropped marks and so forth create a good amount of scrappiness.
Even though we don't know for sure what was behind the North video
It may suggest some ratings at least have a good impact.
Fingers crossed.

Yep it's gonna be a long week so fingers crossed we do get it before Friday

The gameplay vids and controls have me pretty excited about the potential range of play in this game, it does seem like you can have the fast paced run and gun type game style or with dropped marks and tap ons it could become more scrappy
