That is a massive reliefOh, and this should make you happy: I was pretty surprised and pleased to see their rating wasn't as bad as I thought it might be! (might have helped that the lead dev is a Bombers man)

Totally jizzing for this game now. I was going to ask a question about the radar a few days ago, but interesting to hear that it might not come in to play that much with the camera angle...I would have assumed straight off the bat that I would be using it flat out. Very interesting!

It was one of those things that after the first match we were talking about how the camera is in such a position that the radar isn't a huge thing to be needed, because you really can see a lot of the field and the players up the ground.
That being said, there are some nice little things in regards to the radar as well that can help you out regardless of the camera angle.

Big bucks right here.

I have a question regarding setups/structures & how the players appear on the field.
Is it pretty much 1-1 all over the park or can you change your teams structures/zones. I.e Clarko's cluster, or the Pies frontal pressure so there are loose players??

The AI is quite smart all round. You generally get a lot of marking contests with more than just the 2 players in them, so you will see a lot of times the AI running into contests as well as leading to where you want them to.
No specific tactical plays like a real clarko's cluster but there's a good amount of tactical options to choose from.

Thanks for all the info guys. Sounds like Big Ant have done a great job!! Glad to hear that the ruck contests were a highlight!!
Can't wait to play this game!!
Did you get a chance to play in wet conditions at all?

Hi guys, thanks for giving us your impressions of the game.
Just on the ruck thing, you say that the ruck contest were really good and a highlight - I just wanted to know if you were referring to just the rucks going against each other and directing the ball down or if you were including the subsequent clearance battle in that?
I for one am hoping for a good clearance game where you can't just get a clean kick away because you got first hands on the ball (as players often can't in real life), but one where handballs are key and many clearing kicks are skewed due to being tackle or hurrying, etc.
If you are allowe to elaborate, what were your impressions re the clearance game?

Sorry dude, we didn't. Was probably the one thing we forgot to do all up, we were just amped to get into each match we forgot about testing out the weather conditions.

Is there the option to drop a spare man into defense or flood or zone ?
Appreciate the feedback - happy with that.
damn, should have come in on the same day as the BF congregation could have had a XBW vs BF play off!

I mentioned earlier I was very impressed with the ability and control you have to clear the ball.
If you are good, you can get your ruckman to tap it down a midfielders throat, have him take off and get a quick hands or kick away. Your ruck can also punch the ball if you prefer.
However the opposition can put on a lot of pressure, which means that you have to work to get the clearances. You can be bumped or tackled. I know I certainly had some brain freezes whereby I couldn't get the ball away quickly enough. You have to think your way through the traffic quickly, which is pretty cool
hmm, dunno. There were certainly vibrations for various in game events though
Prehaps we should name drop to spread the load.
Played the game yesterday for a bit. Wasn't for too long, but I definitely got a feel for how it played. Ross even commented on how I'd picked up the controls by the end of my game time, and can I just say, I had a ball of a time playing it.
For me, the best part is the contested footy. When there's a loose ball with a couple of players around it, there are tackles constantly being laid, spillages, passing off the teammate while being tackled....and just that feeling of complete mayhem that you get in the real AFL when both sides are throwing them at the ball. The play keeps flowing, and it's not easy to dominate with the old two kicks out of the centre for a goal.
Controls felt good as well..... like how FIFA have the basic buttons to start off with, then the more complicated combinations you can use as you get more advanced.
Agree with HBK619. Hitouts are cool.....and not so easy to win....again making the whole tap-out, kick, mark, goal sequence not so easy.
Some other special things in there as well. Keep an eye out for next week's edition of Inside Football Magazine for more of my thoughts on it.

For those who did play the game, who was the biggest suprise in terms of player rating? (Without giving the actual rating away)
