Are Ballaz and Hill noticebly fast? And is Fyfe rated 100 in everything?

Ballantyne from what i've noticed is the fastest player in the Freo team with Hill second..Hilly also has a great boot on him in this, kicked one with him from 55 Fyfe hasn't really influenced my games yet

 

[docker_champ29]

is my post ahead of DylsDocker for everyone else? How the **** did I do that?

FYI We are seeing a trend where the numbers of tackles in a game is far less the more that the game is played (online anyway).

There have been 4000 matches in the last 24 hours on PSN alone.

Had a read through the FAQ and most of this thread but havent seen the answer to the question that I have:

When taking a mark outside the F50, there is a cross where your player is positioned similar to the one when taking a set shot. Is it the same in that you can switch it to a view from behind the player? I've been tapping x when I'm on it, but it just chip passes (usually to an opposition player ).

Would be handy because it's difficult to see a lead during normal play.

Yeah it's the set shot button mate. I've done the behind the player view before outside 50.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but a few tips regarding creating a team that might stop the complaints regarding the $7million salary cap -

1. Lower all players except your starting 22 to minimum stats to maximise your salary cap. Do not pick more than 40 players!
2. Search each respective position using the player database to find cheap players rated above 70 to stack your starting lineup. There are absolutely tonnes you just have to be patient and do your research (ie z.clarke in the ruck, LRT at full back, JPod at full forward, gwilt on the half back line, ballantyne and blair in the forward pockets, s.baker and c.brown in the back pockets off the top of my head) - PS there needs to be a column for price in the player database its a pain having to enter into the player profile each time just to find their $ value (not sure if this can be dealt with in a patch)
3. Make sure you only get 1 of each position - this means you don't waste a 70+ midfielder on the half back flank rating at 60 something and dragging the rest of your team down.

Using these tips, you should be able to put together a pretty decent custom team at $7million. I put together a quick one last night that was 2 stars but I reckon much better can be achieved. I'll be posting my top created team later on today including the lineup.

EDIT: 1 more tip - trade don't delist! I could be wrong but when you delist it appears as though a percentage of the players salary stays in your team salary cap and you never get it back unless you reset the rosters. I went 4 over the 40 minimum players first time I put a team together and decided to delist, even though their combined value was approximately $600k I swear I got back half or less of that!

So setting up a draft league with custom teams becomes a double edged sword because then you can't play with the actual AFL sides because all their players are lost to the custom sides?

Also was side balanced the default camera view?

Yeah it's the set shot button mate. I've done the behind the player view before outside 50.

To clarify, that only works if the little yellow goals are on the ground. Otherwise I assume the guy can't kick that far.

So I can't get a view from behind the player if i'm not taking a set shot? But I can't see players leading at me! haha

Question for Ross, when creating custom players I noticed you have a create random player option yet when i create random players all the attributes seem almost the same, are they supposed to be like that or is it just my imagination, I would have prefered random stats and maybe 1 star in the first 50 or so.

Just wondering if this game is out on PC or just Xbox and PS# cheers guys

 

[matty_boy08]

I just played a game against two people online.

It was quite funny because in the ruck contest's they would push all 3 midfielders foward then try to hit big to them. while they left my 3 midfielders in the middle and I was consistantly hitting it to mine ended up winning 79-25

PC will be coming later, its only PS and Xbox at the moment.

Was a bit disappointed with the guernsey customisation.
Thought we'd be able to pick our own colours, not preset ones.
Also, thought we'd be able to use AFL guernseys as templates.

Hey guys, here's MMGN's review http://ps3.mmgn.com/Reviews/AFL-Live-Review

Cool do you know when?

 

[Pies1994]

[Lucev23]

Good review I think

So if I wanted to make Port Melbourne I couldn't choose a vertical striped guernsey and make it blue and red?? Thats a bit disappointing

From what I could tell, yeah.
I only had a quick look, but there were set colour schemes for the custom guernseys.
I just wanted to make a red and white version of North's guernsey but it wouldn't let me.

hey guys just wondering, when creating a team, do you HAVE to fill the 40 spots or can you have a minimum of say... 32 players? just wondering cause i ran out of money and will get no where near 40 players.
