Any more screenshots for us, FH?

Also, when players kick a drop kick does the ball spin backwards?]

And spotting up players with a chip kick- does this game encourage this?

Thanks

Screenshots - there are about 15 more but I'm not sure if or when they'll be made available. We merely take them, Sony distribute them.

Ball Spin - yes! We finally have the ball spinning correctly!

Chip kicks - well given we have lead indicators that appear from 15-60m I'd say yes. Players will try to get free no matter where they are in that vicinity. When I play I definitely look for a short pass if nothing is on down field.

with marking, will you still be able to not push any button to mark it if your free and its coming straight to you?

yeah in the easier levels you can but in the harder levels I'd encourage pressing the button given that we have dropped mark animations in the game now.

 

[RoosterLad]

So you can actually drop a mark?? Can you even drop a mark if you are all by yourself? Obviously that shouldn't happen that often but it does happen in real footy.

yeah dropped marks can occur even if you nail the marking HUD button press. They are very, very rare in dry conditions but are more prevelant in wet weather. Like you said, it does occur in real life.

 

[RoosterLad]

That is excellent to hear!

 

[chickens_law]

If you kick the ball too hard will it break the goalpost?

 

[shaun62]

Have you guys got new missions in the game?

 

[happy_eagle]

yes and can you make your own missions like 2004 pe


PLEASE SAY YES

 

[Tarkyn_24]

PLEASE SAY YES

YES.

EDIT: Just read your post. I dunno

 

[chickens_law]

No missions from what i hear.

 

[Fiery Hawk]

No it won't. But if you hit the goalpost in preseason and the ball bounces back in it will be play on.

 

[Fiery Hawk]

Have you guys got new missions in the game?

Yes all new missions featuring some of the greatest grand final rivalries and in 90% of the cases there are authentic uniforms from that time. They also feature correct crowd numbers and we are led to believe they also feature the correct weather conditions.

Freo of course are featured in a finals match, not a grand final.

You will be able to do the missions in any difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard) and it will record your completion of a mission. All missions have fantastic intro commentary from Dennis and Gerard along with extra bonus commentary for Norm Smith medals and completion of the mission.

PLEASE SAY YES

I can understand why you'd want it in...

We looked at the create-a-mission feature but it required too much work to be included and weighed in pretty lightly against other more pressing feature changes/inclusions for the game.

The original plan for the mission mode was to have up to five unlockable missions per side based on various scenarios along with the ability to create-a-mission. But as is always the case when you think large it eventually gets shrunk down...

 

[chickens_law]

Will the game have unlockable videos like AFL PE?

 

[Lucev23]

No..

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Haha. I took those files and put them on media player.

Forget about unlocking them

 

[YelloMit]

It's not a create-a-player mode...it's a player editor so you are effectively replacing an existing player on your list. The player editor is best suited to newly generated players you pick up in the draft.

It's PS2 only again this year.

Both good enough for me.

Where are the files? Can't find them in the folder.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

C://Program Files -> Acclaim Entertainment - > AFL Live Premiership Edition -> Bonus -> Look in any file thats numbered, eg 003

Done that but theres nothing in the folders in Bonus.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Really???

I got all mine from there.

Maybe try a system scan looking for file 022.

Then when you find that, look at the path. All the other videos should be in the same area.

BTW, what is in your "Bonus" folder?

 

[Lucev23]

are the folders hidden?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Erm, dunno. I'm a complete rookie with computers.
