No J. Brown in the Victoria side?
You have the option for both.
Okay so I'm back from my second playtest, this time a more extended one. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for me
.). Commentary was what I expected, a starting point. These are nothing points mind you, in the scheme of things I couldn't find anything that was jarring, wrong or shocking to the point of me caring about it.
Awwww why did you have to show our game highlights?!!! (Matt here, red hoodie swan supporter)
You were slotting them from everywhere, we were just chasing you round the park.
I couldn't believe there was so few there, I just walked up and got a game
As a first timer it ALOT to take in, and you get the basics as said before, but you won't be competitive for a few matches. After that you'll start to pick up and use the nuances and options available.
Take note I only played one match as I popped in after work (wife at home dammit
I liked our match, rain weather conditions, it probably helped us as it was tight and in close and we could tackle as much as possible to stop you guys (both swans players noobs).
I liked the in tight situations, it was a hot potato and really captured the intensity and speed of the real game. I was so busy tackling, I'd recover the ball and forget to dispose or just be slammed before I could think!
I like that tackled players most times take longer to get up, thus giving the tacklers team quicker response time to use their advantage they just created.
ruck situations are awesome when executed, and will lead to some rewarding co-op/lead into space payoff's.
Negatives? some clipping I noticed when watching the ball sail through the goals, and the crowd etc. I found the camera (default setting I assume) a little to far out, i'd like maybe a few notches in. Though I think i'd like to see this change only to see the players with the ball better, which hinders up field vision. So if the camera zoom can be changed, it'd be a bit of trial and error to get it how I like it. I honestly couldn't tell who was who on the swans in the heat of the game, that was mostly I think because I was trying to take it all in
That's about my thoughts from one game, the above review gives you a better idea. In only a few hours of playing the other guys were making the gameplay look natural.
Oh and of course the swans were done in as always by the pies, however I don't recall daisy Thomas tearing us a new one as usual, so that's a bonus
For my conclusion, a VERY solid first effort by Ross and his team. I'm mightily impressed, and will be preordering this weekend. I can only dream of what these guys will get upto with more time and money, now the engine and basics are set down, and they start polishing!
p.s much respect for these exhibition sessions, couldn't ask for more from such a friendly, honest and hard working team. How many other countries with a population as small as ours, have current gen games based on an indigenous sport being created?
We are truly spoilt.
And your super amazing team mate was me.
