AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
So what has to be done to ensure an appropriate market size and the venture to be profitable....and can it be done?
Surely the AFL itself can help fund on a project like this. The groundwork has been done over the last 15 years to know what works and what does not.
I believe the hardest thing with an AFL game is ensuring each and every aspect is user friendly. AFL Live 1 was the closest thing I believe to touching on that, while AFL Live 2 made the game far more appealing with its innovation in the AFL game.
We just need to combine the two, have modest funding from the league itself (I mean, seriously, as if the AFL are not getting PAID for licensing....so...why not just reimburse the license fee and we will have a game).
I think the comments about Australia and the AFL is a very small market, but that is all bullshit....just an excuse really. We have seen 10 plus AFL games in 15 years....and most of us have probably purchased all....and I am certain the publishers etc can make it profitable....but too many corporates probably put their hand in!
Thats the info I really wanted to see.
But the main thing I got out of that was
Decent - 800,000 copies
AFL Live 1 - 50,000 copies
This is/was to break-even.
Why would a new game require 16 times the capital as BigAnts game...which itself does not need that much improvement at all...
Remember AFL gets money, platform holder (Sony/MS) gets money, distributor gets money, retailer gets money, I think the above calculations are gross income not profit.
Exactly that's to cover costs only of money invested not profit's
Then you're out by a fair margin as 800,000 does not nett $80M, it would have a dev budget of $35M max.
Anyway, moot point - 'aint happening.
Edit: FIFA is rebuilding all the time, I know people on the team. The entire game is rebuilt over a rolling three year period.
Really? Where's the rest of the money go?(also I was assuming retail price of $100 a unit.)

So is AFL Live 3 happening... or not?
The part I don't understand is why the AFL doesn't view gaming as important to their brand. Wave the freaking licence fee and let someone like BA drip feed patches each year. At least that would be some form of progress.
Because you'd be one of about 20 people.
?And you are what? 10? And I'm guessing that AFL Live 2 is the first AFL game you've played cause it was horrible! AFL Live wasn't perfect by any means but it was fun and if it got cleaned up a bit and had a career mode added to it for more playability it would be a seriously great game! AFL Live 2 is cheesy and boring, and it just doesn't have any flow to it; the gameplay is too stop start!
