AFL LIVE 2011 - 360, PS3 & PC - Part - 24

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Yeah, I'm finding less quitters, or at least less first quarter quitters. Most people seem to stick it out, so casual gamers probably starting to be weeded out.

Had a humourous situation in my season I finally completed. Won the Grand Final and Daniel Kerr won the Norm Smith Medal. When looking at the fixtures to see the scores again, it had Josh Kennedy as BOG. Lol.

Kerr does look awesome in the trophy room, though.

So pissed off at the moment. I'm trying to get the Legend trophy for winning the premiership on Legend with 20 minute quarters and extreme injuries, and in my 2 previous games I had heaps of injuries (about 15 each game). As a result, my team lineup for the next game doesn't have a spot for a LHF, or a third interchange player, and I can't put anyone in there. (There are still 4 non-injured players out of the list, but you can only swap them for people already in the lineup.)

So me team only has 20 players in it!!!!

As a result, when I go to start a game, the loading screens show, then when the game usually starts up, I just get a black screen, and the sound of the crowd. It stays like this, and I have to quit the game back to the XMB.

I'm at Round 11.... so that's ten rounds that I've played full-length matches in, all for nothing!!!
I hope this is fixed in the patch.

Well the number of injuries will be reduced in the patch, but I hate to tell you - Your season is done.

No way to fix that, even with the patch. Unfortunately, you'll have to start a new season if you want to go after the trophy again (after the patch would be my advice). IMO, screw trophies and achievements. Just have fun playing the game the way you want to play it (ie. not 20 min qtrs and not extreme injuries)

I might leave the save game there and hope there'll be a second patch that fixes this issue. It's definitely a game logic issue that could be fixed.
Might have to move on to online games.... And just hope people don't quit on me like they've been doing.

Damn - never heard of that before - I will ask the guys if there is something in the patch that overcomes it (I know they did a lot of work on injuries and related issues).

Yeah, I hadn't seen in posted on here before. I was wondering what would happen if you had too many injuries to fill a team....but it's not even that, because I have 4 unused, uninjured guys. It's just the logic that automatically puts people in positions doesn't place them anywhere, so I don't have a LHF or a third bench player.
Would be good if there's a fix for this. Such a waste of time if there isn't.
Thanks for looking into it, Ross.

Evened things up tonight a bit more against Illnino. Only 1 win advantage to him now overall.

So that's 4 wins to Illnino now to my 3. Catching!!!

Have turned the tide now, have it at a 3 game winstreak!

First game I managed to get the jump on Illnino by 2 goals to none at qtr time and it basically kept going like that from there. Illnino made a push a few times at me, but I managed to keep the lead at a relatively safe distance each time. It's sort of the thing I hate though, I can score goals and get shots, but whenever I need one to put me out to a really nice buffer I tend to fluff it. Don't know whether it's nerves or just bad luck, but I did it with consistency in that match. Ended up winning by 2 goals in the end though.

2nd match Illnino absolutely got the jump on me, he had 10 scoring shots on goal to my 1 at one stage. Unfortunately for him, it was 3.7.25 and not 7.3.45. This kept me in it and even though I was having a horrendous time trying to get the ball out of my defence (in the wet hurts my plan so much!) I managed to get a goal against the flow of play which halted much of Illnino's momentum.

Eventually I kept pressing and the goals just kept coming for me and I was only a goal behind very quickly. Then probably the turning point in the match, Illnino took a mark about 75 out from MY goal and had a man on in front of him, he plays on and gives the handball to that man, but I managed to lay a tackle on the man super fast. Ball spills out in front of my players, I hand it off and boot it long into the 50, get a mark and a goal. This puts me in front. And although I put in a pretty big blunder myself for Illnino's next goal (spoiling the ball forward on the goalline trying to get it to a man, instead Hawks get it and get a goal) I had the momentum.

Anyway for the sake of time, I managed to push out to a 3 goal lead and kept it for much of the match. Illnino had his chances but just kept missing some easy shots. Myself on the other hand went 8.0.48, my best kicking EVER online. I don't think I've ever gone behindless in a match before...especially in the wet and against someone as good as Illnino.

So yeah right now it stands at 4 wins Illnino, 5 wins HBK619.

 

[illnino]

Yeah they were good, hard games...that's for sure. You've either improved dramatically or I've got a hell of a lot worse because I reckon I was totally outplayed for most of those 2 matches, yet normally our games feel pretty tight and even.

Suppose, had I kicked a few straight ones early in the second match, I may have been able to keep a nice lead through the match. 14 scoring shots to 8 in that match. You've never kicked so straight and I've never missed so many

And it's not like your going Freo or Collingwood....You use Richmond FFS

 

[vealesy]

Just had my biggest EVER fail.

Cracker of a game, I got an early lead, he kicked 5 in the 2nd to be 5 points up at half time.

Goal for goal until the last 45 seconds with me down by 4, when I burst away and get a mark 20m out from goal dead in front, draw the fullback and handball over the top to Varcoe in the square, nobody within 10m of him, streams straight in to goal with a little chip AND HITS THE ****EN POST!

FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Was against starcevich, good win pal.

Also, when u mark it with the flight of the ball in the goal square and the player auto runs over the line and plays on and you get a point, even though you DID not PRESS R1, will this be fixed in the patch?

Could've done with that goal too!

Thanks for looking into it, Ross.

We've replicated what's happened to you and sadly your save file will still have the issue. The patch makes it so you won't get in that position but it will not fix a previous saved game that has less than 22 available players. Really sorry

 

[vealesy]

Ross, will the patch allow us to turn off the oppositions player marker when playing against people from our friends list?

omfg. I'm half way through my season on legendary with extreme injuries and it's happened to me.

That's REALLY ****ing annoying. a bit of a joke

Ah, bugger it.... Might just stick to online.

Some news on Cricket.

We will be releasing a Tabletop version of Cricket for Xbox/PS3 in the next few months.

We have been working on a full version of Cricket for a couple of years and will have that ready for 2012. More news on inclusions in the game to follow.

Sweet, publishing it yourselves? Any idea on how many points it will be?

 

[10571z]

Quitters destory this game. Its so stupid i was up by 8 with 45 seconds left and had a quitter.. So stupid.

Also playing online 1v2 is stupid. 2 players kill you everytime as they bump and sheppard you (your ai doesnt do any of this) really unfair

 

[BigAntStudios]

Yeah, self publishing. Not sure how many points it will be but it won't be expensive.

We'll be inviting people from here who are into Cricket to come in for a preview and chance to help us fine tune the game (details to follow in a few days of how to register interest).

I know right?! I couldn't believe how well my defenders were doing, only the one complete blunder from them. Kel Moore was incredible in the first match, 10 disposals (most of the game) and about 5-6 rebound 50's. Couldn't have won it without him.

It's funny too, because I generally use Sydney online now, just sure's my style up a bit more. But I can drift right back into Richmond mode fairly easily when I need to. Good Richmond mode that is...

*cough cough* hmm, damn cough I have.

I doubt it but will check when I get to work tomorrow.

No more AFL Live for me tonight. Internet has decided to play up and be really slow for some reason (probably because it's Telstra ).

It's so bad it disconnected me from one game while I was 20 pts up and then the next game was just full of rubber banding and lag so I lost by 5 goals or so. **** I hate paying good money for dodgey internet service

Don't even get me started on f*cking Telstra...

Our internet has cut out about three or four days into our new monthly usage for the past three months. It then goes back to normal about two weeks later, pretty much screwing up the month's usage.

They fixed it last month, they won't fix it this month.

TPG ftw.

Run wireless to Laptop, tethered to PS3. Never drops out and runs at a consistent speed.

 

[entourage]

I'm seriously addicted to this game
