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

[CJApples87]

Yep..."has been." Certainly not in the top three most exciting players in the comp right now. Confirmed by the commentary team on tonight's game.

A has been at 23. Good grief.

Just opened up this thread and got all excited when I saw there was 10 new pages. What the **** was that?

I started that damn ratings discussion page for a reason.

Probably should've just banned GTL from the giddy up...

That's great, very cool, awesome news!!
I have a question for you. What are you most excited about in terms of gameplay for Evolution that has been worked on compared to the first game, what's exciting you the most about the new features, without revealing much.(i do not want to get you into any pickle with this question btw)

I hope WW are aware that some people will have to buy a new console or PC to play this game.

Did you ask them about that?

Did you ask them about having to buy new equipment to play the game?

Damn does anyone else realise that we need to get a new console for this game?

 

[TheHumanShoe]

Thats an outrage! Comic Sans MS or Chiller! Or death to WW I tell ya!

Mate, Wingdings or nothing.

 

[PoTayToh]

Not gonna lie the default womens character looks like a 14 year old boy, but its great that they added customization for Womens players

 

[Exports]

Premiership Full Forward, mate

Dude that means nothing. Sharrod Wellingham is a premiership player too.

 

[Gibbsy]

Quoting for best lulz in this thread.

 

[netslave]

So with the updated demo you can create new male players and specify their weight but can't do that for female players, political correctness gone mad, cats and dogs living together, oh my!

 

[Freo16]

The AFLW players have ratings in the same range as the men it seems so it'll be interesting to see if the women's plays any different or if they've just made it enjoyable for both genders as opposed to low skills and constant slogs for the women's game

 

[relapse]

All I hope that this is going to play far better than AFL Live 2 because that game was an absolute mess.

The player ratings won't mean jack if the game plays as horrible as Live 2 did.

Will be interesting to see if they get the different rules for AFLW correct as well. 16 on the field, 6 on the bench, smaller football. Given the fleeting mention of the girls in the trailer, it's looking more like they've been plonked there at the end of development so I doubt it.

 

[carn tigez]

Since no one knew how the women would even play until 2-3 months ago I'd say there's approximately a 0% chance of the gameplay being any different if ratings are the same.

Given the SCG is the same size as the MCG in the game, I can guarantee none of this will be in the game.

This thread is 234 pages long and the game hasn't even came out yet.

I'm okay with that but hopefully VFL and TAC lists can be updated so we have proper players to draft

If you were meaning whether they would include licensed vfl/tac players, i messaged afl evo and they said there wouldn't be besides the players on afl lists. They said we would have to create our own lists.

 

[kova98]

Would I be correct in saying that before you start your career mode you will have the option to change the TAC and VFL unlicensed teams to real ones created in the FanHub?

Couldn't care less about ground sizes or whether stats continue over seasons. Lets just hope for good game play as the main thing. I would love if VFL/TAC lists that are on FANHUB are the players that can be drafted because we can update the lists to current rather than a million MARCUS STRINGERS

 

[SugarShane]

Sub 2 weeks and still no gameplay. Read that how you will but it doesn't fill me with much confidence, considering how forthright they've been about showing off everything they've done right.

What I meant if we edit our VFL/TAC lists to have proper names, will those players be able to be drafted in a season mode.

I know that any created players will not be in the draft if unassigned to an AFL list but if we edit the VFL/TAC names to reflect current list, would they becom part of the draft pools? I would find it pointless editing names of VFL/TAC as I would never do a career mode with them but would edit names if they become the draft pool for seasons. I hated previous versions that every draft was Marcus Stringer, Dustin Deledio, Steele Pendlebury etc

You can change the names, stats and likeness for VFL/TAC but at this stage not certain that they intergrate into an AFL career via draft. As far as I am aware in a season mode if you chose an AFL side you have nothing to do with the reserves

It's incredibly worrying that if they release no gameplay they expect us to find out by simply purchasing the game.

I hope they know how many copies of AFL2 were sent back to stores.

I reckon they'll go as far as 16 on the field and shorter quarters (that's a thing in the women's isn't it?) but nothing more after that

While the women having high stats won't be great for realism I can understand why they've done it as who wants to play as teams who can at best kick 30 metres

I'm still not too worried about this

We saw the game in action in the trailer and I'm guessing we'll get some gameplay footage from the gws and north video (I'm guessing they're just gonna put out one vid with multiple teams playing the game) and in tru blus eyes they've then shown enough regardless of how good the game is

I am hoping we see some promotion during footy broadcasts and hopefully the trailer starts being played during the breaks at games

Should be comparable ratings to the TAC Cup teams IMO.
