Meh cant find it anymore. Few deleted comments so maybe it snuck into one of those "wiped" arguments (like the 10 page blowup about no preseason that got trimmed to 1 page). I remember the conversation though and it fired up a lot of the pro and againsts

Impossible to find the comments now in all the drivel (I'll try search for it and update if I do find it) but it was essentially a heated comment saying something like "why do we need injuries or suspensions.... it would be upsetting to the real life players if we just had them injured all the...

The one that got me was the lack of injuries and suspensions being because the players would be upset

Played my first match of the new update - finally started a new management mode using the 2024 lists. Even without sliders, can feel the game has gotten much harder. Played Round 1 against Bombers on hardest (5 min quarters), instead of the regular 70-24 scoreline, I struggled big time to get a...

I do at least hold positivity towards the reference to “future updates”. Fingers crossed the changes in this get the actual gameplay up and then the rest comes soon 😭

Sliders in is a plus. No changes to management mode for longevity is a bit of a whack

Fingers crossed we actually get the patch. Don’t have a good feeling it’s going to be the big one that completes the game but can at least hope. Should drop in the next hour or so if its coming

Still not a fan of the regression of stats though - not sure that'll be fixed up. Had Jack Scrimshaw in brownlow form, absolutely dominating the backline and stats. Lead the comp for marks, contested marks etc. Then just randomly heading into a late season match, he dropped down to 67 overall...

Yeah fingers crossed. I have no idea how it's supposed to work - you'd expect 3-5 offers a season would be decent. I think since release, I've probably played a combined 20 seasons throughout my saves and never once received an offer until the one pictured. I actually had an in-game injury at...

After many run throughs of management mode, I finally got a trade offer from another club. Deep into 2028 as the trade period was about to shut and I’d completed all my trades, I got this. Port offering pick 28 for a key defender I’d drafted with Pick 3 a season earlier with a potential of 99...

Due 23rd April according to the roadmap

LOL is that what it is? I have no idea tbh. Most likely the case and it just happened to be that the goal kickers for Hawthorn that round kicked their exact average. Season total would be better to have there than averages or weekly total anyway. At least they got somewhere with it and it at...

This patch was out of the blue so hopefully they are in quick spin to repair the season mode crashes and the late April one goes ahead with additional features etc. Have played a few games of the patch over the last day. Main things I've noticed: Opposition are now kicking 4-5 behinds a game...

I'm just finding more success in pressing X for a normal pass and aiming in the vicinity of the goal. Seems to have a 40% success rate for me depending on where I'm kicking from, whereas the actual shot on goal is like 0% unless I'm within 20 metres of the goals. Even just stopping and nailing a...

Yeah I got into a bit of an OP rhythm with that formation in my match yesterday. Had Reeves tap it down to Ginnivan, Worpel would break behind the opposition player, receive handball and either pump it to the leading FF or bang it through himself each time. Switched that on in Q4 against...

I'd wait until next month until the full lists are available anyway.

Oooh interesting. Where do the trade offers display? I've played a stack of seasons in management mode in the past and never had any offers come through; didn't think they could because there's no inbox. Must be a new thing?

Are there actual offers from other clubs now? Or did you mean they just accepted your offer of Burton & 10 for 1?

Yeah that means they’re injured. If you go into Team Management (I think that’s the menu name) and then whatever the top option is, it tells you who’s injured and how long for.

Anyone playing a career mode at the moment? Has the patch had any clashes/caused any issues with your old career/manager saves?

Having said that, I’m still rolling in a career with Hawthorn in 2028 so happy to keep that going with improved gameplay for another month before moving onto new lists in April. Haven’t seen too much negativity about the gameplay yet which is good

Seems pretty silly to basically just exclude any players that weren’t at draft night. Surely just generic or basic generated faces would be better than leaving them out . What would be the point of starting a season mode with 2024 fixtures if you don’t have complete lists

Anyone got it and able to confirm if the full lists are there? Read the note about it being only players who were at the draft - are the others just left off completely or generic?

Logged on before heading off to work this morning at 5am and nothing came through. Assuming it may be a 9am job or midnight in UKish? Stuck working in office today so won't be able to give it a whirl until this arvo. I await the positive feedback from everyone in here to get me through until then

GRAND FINAL Unfortunately, after watching just about all the GF's on Youtube, I was working when the Prem grand final was on and just had it on 7Plus on my phone pretending I was using it as a calculator. In a scrappy, muddy affair, St Mary's won their 34th (I think) NTFL grand final by 13...

Yeah wasn't a good look by the end of the day. I was watching the earlier games on youtube, slowly watching the oval get torn up and muddy. Knew by Premier League time it was going to be an absolute cow paddock and wasn't disappointed. Huge win for Saints though, congrats seanoff

FINALS WEEK 3 - PRELIM FINAL In a result that most likely shocked nobody, St Mary's came out on top against Southern Districts by 26 points at TIO Stadium. Despite there being only 1 point between them at half time, Saints kicked 7 goals to 3 in the 2nd half to run away and book a rematch and...

FINALS WEEK 2 Late to update thanks to a crazy week at work - but as above, Southern Districts thumped and knocked Waratah out, guaranteeing that we'll see a new premier this season. Nightcliff also pulled off an upset beating St Mary's, including kicking 6 goals to nothing in the first quarter...

Even as a still constant player of this game, I'm firmly in the camp that the updates coming are make and break for the series. I still play it because I'm a sucker for punishment and it's the only way I can get success at Hawthorn right now - but there is so much that needs to be tweaked before...

That whole champion data debacle was a massive kick in the guts. Getting what I'm assuming is the prime (or is it only?) AFL stats/data analysts to create the stats for the players sounded amazing in principle because we knew we were getting realistic interpretations of the players; then we...
