AFL LIVE 2011 - 360, PS3 & PC - Part - 22 - READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING

Quick question Ross, when you're standing a mark infront of goal and you press circle and X to try and put the opposition off, can that technically affect the kicker's kick?

I noticed this yesterday...

 

[melbournemartin]

One issue is when the opposition kick the ball and it's due to land just on the goal line you very rarely can punch the ball through for a behind. When you hit spoil, even when aiming the controller through the goals, the defender will almost always punch the ball forward. The forwards then have a chance to pick it up and snap a goal

are you using the right stick?
I've had no problems punching through with the right stick

Yeah. Left trigger and right stick pointing through the goals. They players spoil but just through the goals

 

[John Dorian]

Ross, is there anyway to save your team tactics at all? Or can you only change them before each game?

 

[Little Jerry]

Can you play a season with edited squads?

Not sure if it's been running for a while or not, but just saw the AFL Live ad for the first time at 3 qtr time of the Lions v Tigers match on Fox Sports 1.

As far as I could tell, it was basically the trailer we have already seen. Poor old dad didn't know what it was when it came on as he wouldn't know a video game if he fell over one, but he did say it looks "so real"

Interestingly though, the ad was only for the PS3 version. That becasue the 360 version has sold out basically everywhere Ross?

I don't think it is in the patch unfortunately.

I was playing as Freo and beat Brisbane by 4 goals on Legend. so its not that easy, but still with this patch and maybe making the AI more accurate and get rid of their stupid mistakes like kicking into the man on the mark and hitting the post from 2 meteres then this game will be great.

Not necessarily. Lots of video games are advertised for PS3 only, as if they are exclusive titles, even though they are coming out on other platforms. Must just be Sony's advertising money.

It is.

Are the jumper sponsors being added for the teams that are missing them?

I have the same issue. Always pointing the left (tried it with the right stick too) behind me towards the posts but punches it forward instead. Not sure what the problem is here because I have had others punch it through for a behind online so I figured I was doing something wrong despite it always spoiling the way I'm pointing when it's not in the goal square.

 

[illnino]

Just had an epic qualifying final against the 4th placed Saints with my ladder leaders Hawthorn. Saints led the whole match, I just couldn't stop them, and with 10 mins left on the game clock (2 and a half mins or so real time) in the last term and 16 pts behind, I banged on 3 straight to win the game by 2 pts, the last goal coming with about a minute left on the game clock.

Very intense. Was just bashing the ball forward from the ruck in the end and hoping for the best really. A few lucky bounces, especially a Mitchell goal from 50 which bounced the last 20 meters or so, got me over the line.

Looking forward to the rest of this finals series

ah WTF i just finished a game vs collingwood in rd 5, i was trying to get the hot streak trophy and it came up, then the game was saving but it was taking too long so i pressed the PS button and quit game then my ps3 reset, i then went back on the game and realised that all the stats on the main menu (kicks, goals marks ETC.) were back to 0 then i look at the award room or watever its called and its empty, then i look my custom teams and its all gone. So everything is gone -_- at least i still have the trophies. So pissed off but Ross its still a very good game but im not happy rite now.

You simply cannot quit a game while any game is saving. It corrupts the save file, this is said in EVERY SINGLE GAME. You made a massive mistake and there's nothing you can do to fix it.

Never had that happen for me, always manage to spoil it back.

HAHA, saw that. Damn Brisbane winning, at least we won the real thing.

Sony's advertising money.

It's why you will see (if you take notice) that games like COD have "XBOX 360" after it with no mention of PS3, because MS are putting the money to advertise the game.

Does it even matter what we put our created players weight as? I made strauchanie at 177 cm and 120 kg and then i played a match with him and he didn't very big at all. Then i changed his weight to 70 kg and he looked exactly the same

Something I would like in the next installment of the game is the ability to edit body shape.

You lost me at the bold part

But yeah, makes sense. Didn't put much thought into it really.

A very minor thing I noticed tonight with the game and it's probably not going to be easy to explain but here goes anyway...

In the "team management" menu before games, when you go into either "team lineup" or "tagging" it comes up with a list of all your players and above that it has a graphic of a footy field with different coloured dots representing all the different playing positions. Well when you go to the "tagging" section and highlight a player from the list, the wrong dot is highlighted. For example, if you highlight your fullback from your list of players, then one of the back pocket dots on the footy field graphic will be highlighted. If you highlight a back pocket player from your list, then the full back dot on the graphic will be highlighted. Happens for all positions I think.

When you go into "team lineup" though, the correct dots are highlighted on the graphic relative to which player you are highlighting from your list of players (ie. If you highlight your fullback from the list of players, then the fullback dot will be highlighted on the graphic like it should).

By highlighting a player from the list of players, I mean just scroll over them with the d-pad or left stick but don't press any button on them.

Hard to explain and not a big issue at all, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Yea but it was taking 5 mins and it probs would of taken another 2 years to save, what else could i do?????

 

[tomwalsh]

There isn't a catch up mode, if anything it works the opposite way, when you are on a roll you get momentum and keep scoring.



We can't put any of those in this patch, we needed to focus on the fixe for season mode, general bugs, and making Legend harder.

No 7 minute quarters?? I just dont see the fun playing this game OFFLINE then. Its fun against friends and ONLINE but alone playing season or finals those scores for 5 minutes are too ridiculous to enjoy. 60 -7 F/T score? silly and unbearable.

Shame cause i wanted to win the flag.

 

[LeeARM]

There was a good suggestion in another thread which I'm not sure if Ross read. But it sounds like it would be fairly easy to fix.

ISSUE
Now, When the Player gains possession in single player mode, The Red inverted triangle which indicates that you now have the ball fills up with a White triangle.

My issue with this, is that the AI possession indicator is also White, meaning that gathering the ball in a pack isn't nearly as easy to distinguish as it should be, as the White AI indicator sometimes overlaps your Red player indicator, giving the impression that you have the ball when in fact you dont.

SOLUTION
Instead of filling the inverted triangle indicator with White when gaining possession, just solidify the existing colour.
E.G: I'm player 1, I get the ball and my inverted Triangle indicator becomes solid Red, to avoid any further issues in congestion.

Now that I've turned up the difficulty I'm noticing that it can be costly when you don't know if you've got the ball or don't. If it's not fixed it a patch it should definitely be fixed in a future game.

You've been complaining about this since the game came out, it's not that big of a deal. Get the **** over it.

Im not the only one complaining and it IS a big deal. relaistic scores?? hello?

its insane they have 3 minutes 5 minutes then JUMP to 10 minutes then 12 minutes and so on AND THE BEST most APPROPRIATE TIME is 7 MINUTES!!!!

Surely not hard to implement. And for me it ruins this game. Honestly. This game would be 100% better with 7 minute realistic scores. It would be perfect. It is a big deal needs to be rectified.
