AFL LIVE 2011 - 360, PS3 & PC - Part 17 - READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING

[Eamonn_27]

I've never pre-ordered a game before so how does it work? Also if I want to price match what do I do, will I still get the pre-order bonus?

Ross, is there any chance of a segment about AFL live on TV. Such as halftime during a game. Or on a AFL show like Before the Game, The Footy Show.

 

[HBK619]

Thanks. The other things is do players lose stats/skill/whatever it's called if played out of position? (eg. a Full Forward in the Centre). I think I may have read this in the FAQ but I quickly went over it again and couldn't find it.

Players have been rated in every single position, so their attributes will be lowered if playing out of position.

This is done in game by actually showing the rating of the player you're going to change to that specific position rather than showing their natural overall and then adjusting when you put him in that position.

Generally if you price match then you won't be able to get the pre-order bonus...however if you're saving $30 just buy the photo online yourself anyway.

Do their attributes actually go down, or does their overall just go down to reflect how they are rated in that position, like FIFA?

For example, Berbatov in FIFA is in the 80s, but if you put him in centre back his finishing doesn't go down, but his overall would go down a lot because he doesn't have the agression or tackling ability to be a good centre back.

Make sense?

Ross,
something is telling me that it is very possible that the game could hit stores this thursday? in a previous thread i think you mentioned that if a game is pressed, it is usually released on the thursday after? if this is true and you say the duplicates have been done, then the game should come out before the 21st? Good marketing dropping it in a week earlier, as the amount of parents caving in to thier kids crys for AFL LIVE!!!! For the parents will realise that $100 can remove the whines of I'M BORED! during the school holidays.

I wish I could help get it out earlier, this Thursday is doubtful.

Fingers crossed, really hoping!

Yes, this is how we have done it as well.

Awesome.

So the stats don't actually go down?

eg.

I have a player who is 80 overall in Centre but if I move him to FF he could be a 70 at FF with the same stats because he lacks the skills of a usual FF? Hope that makes sense.

I know I'm probably repeating what you asked but I'm just making sure I understand

 

[Beloved]

Alrighty, I shall pre-order at EB. Seeing as I haven't price matched before, I will be pissed if they turn me down. >.>

I'm trying to figure out how it works aswell. and the only idea i have come up with is that they have individual stats like kicking at goal and such. so someone like sam mitchell who would obviously have awesome stats for a midfielder would not be matched for a position like FF because the marking and goal kicking stats would not be as good as a player like buddy franklin.

 

[Beloved]

It's not all that difficult really.

Players that are good at defending (good marking, strength etc. stats) aren't as good in the midfield (speed, endurance, handballing etc. stats).

Do the stats actually decrease or just their overall rating for the position?

 

[happy_eagle]

I have about 3 different Uni assignments due on the week of the 21st
However, after that its a tuition free week
Bring it on

 

[Gameova_]

i hope the game comes out sometime this week plenty of kids on holidays awaiting this game

 

[Bombers_12]

just their overall for that position goes down their stats stay the same

 

[vealesy]

Id say their effectiveness, awareness and some other stats drop if they are playing out of position.

Can you tell us what specifically changes Ross?

 

[Jacare]

Oh that's cool, thanks.

 

[MIZRKO]

I'll be heading down later today to the Bourke St session, then I can head straight to uni afterwards

 

[damod15]

just wondering if there is any new footage from the latest play tests

cheers

Yup, both correct as far as I know.

 

[BigAntStudios]

Stat's stay the same, the stat's used to rate each position are different. eg. I would expect a component of FF would be strong marking, which would not be the case for a rover, so move Judd to FF and his score at that position would be lower - he would still have the same stat for breaking takles, kicking at goal, marking etc.. but I would expect that a backman would spoil or outmark him in the contest more often (but he would get the free kick and 3 votes anyway so it probably doesn't matter where you put him )

just their overall for that position goes down their stats stay the same

Correct.

Id say their effectiveness, awareness and some other stats drop if they are playing out of position.

Can you tell us what specifically changes Ross?

So as above, no individual stat changes but the overall rating for the position goes up or down depending on the players suitability for the position.

I haven't seen people record footage for a long time now....

 

[Mitho]

Obviously a joke...

I thought as much mate. I wasn't really aiming that at you, just happened to be your post that set me off about everyone. Some people are just waaay to into this.

 

[Gd Ol Collingwd]

Hey Ross, is there any chance that if the game doesn't get released this thursday (a week early) is it possible for it to be released on, saturday, sunday or Monday.
Cos i really need to do somethin on the school holidays.
