Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 with added Pro Team

[FearTheBeard13]

Seems like patch notes are out already .. not sure how to feel about it.. thoughts??

ITS GONE LIVE ALSO! Just got it on PS5 = 1.7GB

So we can conclude Training mode, along with single player mode just never existed and they’ve taken us for a ride since day 1 I swear this mob never fails to deliver on failing to deliver.

What happened to the early access/feedback for features on Steam, JNT was organising? It doesn’t seem to have eventuated?

 

[Xtreme]

Getting one of those Asus ROG Ally Gaming Handheld devices, I'll be playing AFL 23 hand held.... just not on the Switch

doesn’t seem to have eventuated?

Like a lot of other things!!

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

It can never just be a straight up answer can it

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that Ross is inferring the patch is finished and awaiting approval, and a usual early morning release tomorrow.

A simple “same as usual” would suffice.

Played a season and a bit on career mode.
Despite all my positivity I have to say if injuries aren’t introduced it’ll absolutely kill the game for me.
Basically playing the same 23 players every game unless I just make up an injury as an excuse to change it.
Injuries may not “be fun” but they add to the realism in a huge way.

Edit: Suspensions too but for me to a slightly lesser extent.

At the end of the day both are a part of our game whether they’re fun or make players look bad in real life (which personally sounds silly to me as it’s clearly a game).
They’re both a part of the fabric of what makes AFL great and if you want to create the most realistic and immersive version of the game, they’ll both be included.

If you want injuries give the old simulate match a crack. After 5 games you won’t have any players left [emoji23]

Can’t be having injuries, it may affect the players real life state-of-mind.

But that’s the thing, the whole point in my opinion of management mode isn’t to simulate haha!
I can live with it if they don’t get injured in the game but you find out afterwards. Would prefer in game but won’t kill the game if that’s not in.

Once in FIFA my player in career mode copped an injury that took months to heal. I had to sim a bunch of games because I was injured (even though I always play as team instead of one player, so that was a bit annoying) and during that time my rating with the coach dropped lower and lower so by the time I was fit I was being shopped around.

Pissed me off so I kept declining the trade offers so I could prove the coach wrong by performing consistently well. Which I did.

I know a proper career mode was sacrificed on the altar of microtransactions, but when you can create your own stories like I did, injuries can be fun.

Again despite my support around the game since day 1, this baffles me around suspension for this reason.
If Marlion Pickett got suspended and the reason was arrested then I’d understand and feel that’s a little personal but dangerous tackles, bumps, rough conduct, striking etc happen in the game and should do so accordingly in the video game.

BigAntStudios When are you getting cross play working, bit over playing the same pc blokes every night haha

I’ve been getting to team selection and just deciding Nathan Broad did a hammy, so he’s out for 4 weeks. Jack Graham did an ACL so I won’t pick him til next year but it just takes away from the realism for me.

I want 50m penalties
Deliberate out of bounds

And if they are not activating Hamish, they need to record Razor Ray saying "STAND" so we can hear his glorious voice after every mark!!

Surely there’s an AFL version of The 12th Man that could do 8 or 9 voices and we could choose who want

I forgot about Hamish.

I guess Big Ant have too.

Meanwhile, EB's store listing still mentions Daisy Pearce

Ah commentarygate. It sure was something.

This is the mid season draft in season 2 of my management mode.
This needs to be addressed.

Wow that's some sort of list, hopefully that gets fixed

For the record, I secured Matt Rowell with pick 12.

So goes to show free agency is broke for AI, not just the user. All these uncontracted playwrs should be signed in a heartbeat. Hopefully this soon to come management mode features list is worthwhile and not merely stability fixes

Vampire Survivors and GTA V updated on Steam

Just need AFL 23 to update and complete the trifecta


Watching the crowd after kicking a goal I was puzzled

I was like don't tell me they're supporters wearing older merchandise (looked like the Adidas logo from a distance away).

Zoomed in and no it's the current jumper

There was an AFL game that did things like 20 week injuries. Can't remember which one. Each game, two or three players out for 3m+ plus. Suspensions were shorter of course but completely random, what was a safe tackle one second was 6 weeks the next.

Can anyone remember which AFL game this was? Thankfully you could turn this 'feature' off.

Sounds like AFL Live 2

You might be right, but I found Live 2 about as enjoyable as washing the dishes. It should have been called 'Tap-Kick-Mark-Goal - The Game!' and featured a CHB in a hammock on the cover.

It was definitely something I played for a while. Perhaps it was IR Guru's final entry.

Can you please put me out of my misery - when exactly to you press the button on the second meter?

The start of the blue shading? The end? In the middle? The instructions say the start but it slowly tapers in to varying lengths - does that mean the very first pixel of blue is the sweet spot? Or when it's 'pretty much' blue?

Side note - I now this sounds dumb but here we are. I do not know.
