AFL 26 hey, irrefutable industry data must have been used to determine the best way to release this was to not tell anyone, then when some rando finds it on the classification board, act like you were just waiting for it to be found, then announce a release date in a few weeks.

BIGANT how far you have fallen
 
I haven't played a console in years and years. I never played a single second of AFL 23. But that thread was one of the greatest of all times on BigFooty. It had it all - the hype, the hubris, the inevitable humbling.

Let's make this thread just as brilliant, please. Popcorn at the ready!

No way that could be topped, Ross and the shills have left here, everybody is being honest, now, and we've all wised up to BA's scams. I'm just surprised they think they can scam us again by having zero transparency, after they scammed everyone the first time around, like expecting that we would somehow forget.

Amazed at how some of the youtubers are even doing videos trying to promote it on the basis of nothing right now.

Let's be real this game is going to be a copy and paste job with a barebones career mode that is life draining boring like the cricket one. Everything will be geared towards the pro team cards.
 
There are posters on the Big Ant forum that are actually arguing that Big Ant showing nothing is the right marketing move because if they show anything people will just whinge about it.

I can't even.
"Whilst some of you have come out of hiding"
Kidding aren't they? No one was hiding but them. We just gave up on them providing us with a playable game with the advertised features.

The audacity to try and almost parent their consumers and threaten to send them to the naughty corner if they dare being up flaws with their game is hilarious.

Luckily for Big Ant the flawless release of AFL 23 dispelled any pre-release fears we had for the game 💪
 
At what point does any of those forum followers even begin to accept rational logic and see that Big Ant are doing exactly what they did last time and presumably the result will be the same? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gather Round was the perfect platform to advertise and showcase anything but here we are with some people thinking AFL 26 will be any different

It is remarkable their whole approach to customer relations. Has a lot of Ange vs Tottenham about it
 
im a bit confused on those trophies since there is no particular ones seeming for player career mode and on the description of the game it says coach mode but on the trophies it says manager mode
I have asked BigAnt on Twitter whether the lack of career mode trophies indicates an absence of career mode. Will let you know when they get back to me, but don't hold your breath because they won't reply.

Do you mean an absence of career mode trophies indicates a lack of career mode? Because we know career mode will be in the game

Like we all know mini games will be in 23.
I was responding to a fairly ridiculous post baisically saying they’ve messaged big ant asking if there will be no career mode. And will get back to everyone. Like why would you announce that from the rooftops?

And then going on to say they don’t expect a response. Of course they aren’t going to respond when they have listed career mode as a feature already. Who in their right mind would bother responding to that? I certainly wouldn’t.

Meh, like I said it's the same as 23's mini games which were also listed as a feature and never came. I understand not believing Big Ant's list of features.

Agree that Big Ant won't bother responding though.
 
I was responding to someone letting them know I'd update them. Hardly announcing it from the rooftops.

It seems odd to me that there are no trophies related to career mode and wouldn't surprise me if the game didn't launch with career mode. Maybe the trophies require updating because they're still working on things, maybe the game mode won't be there on release.

Who knows? BigAnt does, so why bother speculating.

They’ll probably block you more than answer your question because to them, questioning things equal criticising things.

So I've been super bored waiting for BA to release any sort of information about this game... so I just decided to make my own - hopefully this stirs up more interest for the game than the "nahhh don't bother" marketing approach to AFL 26

Made a fan art mock up of what the management/coach mode could won't look like and a few additional menu screens. Not a GFX designer but did my best with the spare few hours I had today
