Second game, beat Blues 94-58. Hitouts I lost narrowly but dominated contested marks again. Still a fun game overall and enjoy how each game plays differently. Have noticed, and I think this has been there forever I just haven't taken advantage of it, the 'lag' before you can get tackled after...

Just got belted by the Hawks. 62-31 in the end but won the last quarter 19-6 so was 56-12 at three quarter time. Was a really enjoyable game actually. Got smashed in hitouts and contested marks so just couldn't get a run on anywhere. Played around with tactics without luck, until the last...

Tried a game without Ryan as backup ruck. Balta couldn't win a hitout and was down 31-13 at half time. Put Nank back in ruck and was up 39-31 at 3qtr time. Ended up winning narrowly.

Yeah the field kicking to space is a key miss at the moment. There should be skill in executing the right amount of power and aim to hit a target. Right now it just locks on and half the time completely ignores the power meter. I miss the AFL Live mechanic

Tbh I haven't really done that, do you mean just a regularly powered kick or the actual clearance kick button combo? But yeah I did notice this earlier, that after getting first possession from a hitout you're basically immune from being tackled for 2 seconds - defs needs tuning, and like I said...

Just had my 2nd loss to Bris by 5 points. Won the hitouts narrowly and basically even in contested marks. Was good, and really fun when the game plays this way. Just gonna be a broken record and reiterate that hitouts are too important, and contested marks are too binary/important. Ball should...

Just won 84-10 v Doggies. Was 84-2 at 3qtr time and then the difficulty swing thing kicked in and I couldn't get a run on. Won the hitouts 43-1 lol, this is the gamebreaker atm, way too much power when you win hitouts.

Yeah but that ties into what I was saying. If we give attackers every type or flexibility then we need defensive AI to be perfect. Otherwise particularly in online play the ball will never be turned over. It's a difficult balancing act I think

I tracked it today in the 2 games I played. It's a bit of both - you have to time the release perfectly otherwise there's a late turn into traffic. If you couldn't change direction while powering up the game would be broken, so you can. But if you want to change your kick direction last minute...

Played a 2nd game. Similar experience, heaps of fun, won by 2 points against the Dees in a cracking game, behind by 10 with 5 mins game time to go and kicked the last 2 which had felt no chance for a while. Gawn won the hitouts which I think is why the game was close - definitely far too much...

I wonder if it's glitching between difficulties. I rate myself as a competent enough gamer particularly sport games, and keeping the opposition to 0 hasn't been anywhere near an option for me on hardest. Might be because I try to play fairly realistically, overlap handball etc when kicking long...

I'm guessing the AI on medium does these things as a hack to make the game easier. On hardest I can't say I've ever seen the AI just leave a gettable ball.

Sydney scored 0 lol how hard could it have been

Just played my first game since the fix. Wary of over-reacting to one game but my thoughts were; My first game where I genuinely just enjoyed it, and wanted to keep playing. I've played and seen positives other times, but it hasn't made me want to play more. This time it did. Hardest...

I thought it was more you can steer while powering up, but then at last second can change direction before release to aim the kick or handball. But that last second bit could be what he means, maybe it makes you turn around at the last second (can't remember)

This was my concern - slow down/make ball movement 'easier' and you're essentially making the game easier. And the game is already too easy, so unless the mechanics for defence were entirely revamped which was never gonna happen, making it easier to string plays together is just gonna make the...

Is it still everyone 80+ kind of vibe?

Hoping this was on easy? I tried to resume my management mode twice and had two crashes within first 2 mins of the game. Haven't had this issue in any previous version until now.

Yeah should really be able to set rotations NBA 2k style. Though injuries will make that a bit more complex than it sounds I guess.

Pretty nothing update from the looks of it. Would be great to know what stability means here but I think we've missed that boat long ago

14 days it is! Think i was confusing it with March

Next patch is on the 17th fairly sure, or 19th maybe? Somewhere around then

9 days until the big one - if management mode isn't fixed in the next patch then it won't be and my time with this game will be at an end. I think gameplay is 90% fine now, so in theory they should have had time to work on management mode. Can only hope so

Yeah it's that plus being too easy that really kills it. Had another game today vs Saints, bit of a battle for first half up by 8 at half time but then won by 50. Again dominated hitouts and contested marks....basically seems like those 2 stats = success or failure. And the AI has Samson Ryan in...

I stopped halfway through. Loved the first but felt like it was episode 2 as well

Yeah I play on hardest in management which then shows as hard when I'm about to start a match. So not sure if it's a display bug or a difficulty big, hopefully the latter

Next game a 1 point loss to Sydney. 30-22 down at 3 quarter time, then was down 54-29 with less than half a quarter left. Somehow piled on 4 goals to 1 in no time, started slotting them from everywhere in general play (which again felt like luck/skill combined, satisfying). Lost 60-59. Couple...

Last time I played the ships were all more or less the same, with different skins. There might have been a couple of different types but other than that, wasn't any point really building up a ship from memory which kind of killed the immersion. Has this changed at all?

Game 3 - beat Port 91-19 Dominated hitouts, clearances and inside 50s. Had 30 contested marks to 14 and 16 intercept marks to 3. When I wasn't winning contested marks at ease or getting the ball forward from clearance at ease it was actually a great match and all 3 games have been noticeably...

They still attack in balanced, they just don't stream forward and get miles clear and score goals with ease. But yes, not ideal having an OP tactic in the menu. But I think we also need to remember that this is AFL and no one has ever got it right. I'm comfortable saying this is the best game...
