AFL Live - Bug Reporting

[Swanies4Life]

Hi guys,

I thought we should have a thread dedicated to actual bugs that will actually help the devs.
I will keep the first post updated will all real bugs/issues and note if it will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Lets keep this thread to just actual bugs/issues and not stuff like the sprint button is crap or your impressions of what should be changed. We have other posts about that.

If you submit a bug please keep it in the format below:

NOT BUGS
- My online is choppy or freezes mid game: It is most likely your internet connection.
- It rains all the time: Rain is Random
- It's a Tackle Fest: Read the manual or threads. Give the game some time.
- My online games always say Disconnected!: The other person most likely has quit on you.
- Sprint button is Broken!: You are broken.

It's minor, but something I noticed

Manual states that Customised AFL Teams under their $10 million cap are able to be used online. This is not the case.

Answered by boomer from BigAnt

Custom teams are available online. To select a custom team you have created and play with them online, do the following:

Find Match
Team Select (press L1/R1, PS3) or (LB/RB, Xbox360)
Select your custom team

Edit: You will see the shoulder buttons above the team logos

New Bug:
Platform: PS3 or Xbox 360
Type: Co-op
Status: Offline - Online (untested)
Type of Competition: Co-op
Teams: Your Team vs Opposition
Round Number:
Type of Team: Custom Team or Standard

Your own team mate can run over the mark while you are taking a kick and you will still be awarded 50mtr penalty

Bug: When taking a mark while moving towards your goals, your momentum naturally carries you past the mark. In this time before you can move back behind the mark, the opposition can often tackle you even if you don't play on.
Not only do you not get a 50 metre penalty, but when you eventually do stand up, quite often 'Play On' will be called. I say quite often because occassionally you can go back and take the kick after that first tackle, and one time the player got tackled a second time and received a 50 metre penalty.

Bug: Only had this happen once. Had the ball about 15 metres from goal, kicked it and just before it went through for a goal I received a free kick. The goal still counted, and I got to take the free kick as well.

Bug: Was playing Carlton v Collingwood online and there were 6 Carlton players in my forward line and no Collingwood defenders, just as I was about to kick the goal all the Collingwood defenders appeared, this may have been due to lag.

Round Number: 1 - 3
Type of Team: Standard

Goldstein (ruck) auto interchanges as a midfield player. e.g. You'll be playing a long and all of a sudden you've got MacIntosh in the ruck and Goldstein as your ruck rover. Happens every match I've played so far. Anecdotally can occur for other teams as well that have a ruck on the bench.

Thomas and Goldstein have the right foot icon beneath them when kicking for goal. Should be an icon for the left foot

Round two Pies vs Roos the game froze after making half a dozen list changes before the first bounce. Reloaded and left the default squad and the freeze didn't occur.

Before the match, swapped both ruckman for other players. At the bounce of the ball, neither player went up and the ball was tapped 80 metres towards one of the teams ruckman.

Your defender has taken a mark near the opposition goal line, and has gone back on the mark and is behind the goal line. If the siren blows for the end of any quarter, the umpire suddenly signals a rushed behind. I could imagine this being a bit annoying for someone trying to waste time holding onto a 1 point lead.

Whilst loading a game, the loading screens that tell you how to play the game advise you to press 'Triangle' and 'Circle' to do certain things, which are obviously PS3 options.

When taking a mark on the opposition goal line or boundary line near the goal line, the player with the ball steps back behind the goals. You can kick it to other players going through the behind area without being penalised.

New Bug: The worst OF ALL OF THEM - SUBBING PLAYER FREEZES GAME
Platform: PS3
Type: 5 minute game
Status:Offline
Type of Competition: Season
Teams: Adelaide v St Kilda
Round Number: 6
Type of Team: Standard
A brief description:

MANUAL SUB - its the sub changing that is the problem. As soon as I changed sub to an interchange player my RUCK ROVER went missing then the game FROZE.

MAJOR BUG - needs to be fixed otherwise No one can finish this game or win a season literally.

Any ETA on this patch.

I did change to MANUAL INTERCHANGE just before this happened could that also be a problem??

This would be the biggest bug in the game right? The main one that needs a patch right?

Sometimes when I go through my team during a single game on team management prior the start the game freezes. The music keeps going but none of the bottons will work and I have to reset the game.

If you change your ruckman to another player, something weird always happen. Sometimes the ruckman will tap the ball 50-80 metres, sometimes the new ruckman wil run into the centre square with the other ruckman not even contesting the centre bounce.

Opp played on from a kick in, was tackled, ball spilled lose. Schulz picked up the ball and put it through for a goal but it said it was out of bounds and the ball was thrown in from the forward pocket. No goal rewarded. Complete WTF moment.

have been using manual subs because the auto often puts players in very strange positions (not a bug, just shit and annoying). however the game has frozen twice in the menu when i've been manually substituting, most recently right at the end of a game which was very frustrating.

If you kick a goal on the run and an opposition player marks it over the line it will count as their mark and not your goal.
