game videos look very good:thumbsu: the speed and smoothness looking much much better, more like fifa 2006 gameplay speed which is good considering the amount of money they have to spend on their game against ir gurus. player models look smoother with less rough edgers and the in game stats for players are back:D
cant wait to get my fingers going when i get my hands on it
 
Any1 hate in 06' how the draft names are just already AFL names mixed up?? I've come across a few surnames that are fake like Axelsson, Howie. Anyway i don't like that hope this one ain't like that.
 
The player rankings also take into account your opponent....
Maybe the best on ground kept his man to no touches (or even better, a couple of frees against and turnovers)
I'm finding mine are about right...Lukey Ball had 12 disposals and kicked 4 goals and got best on ground...
Sounds about right. I suppose it'd be tougher to decide who is best on ground in 2min quarter games... try 5 minute...

Most of the time its not too bad.
The bad news for career mode is the offseason stuff. Because of rookies you have a list of 44 and has to be cut back to 35 thats 9 players to delist so what happens when you go to the draft??? Instead of the AI delisting worst players there all top players such as Rewoldt, Hayes, Crawfoed, Gehrig, johnstone etc etc etc so highly unlikely anyone will draft proper rookies.
I only found out by simulating the rest of my season before bed to have a look at the off season stuff. IMO this will hamper the longtivety of the game as after a season teams wont resemble current teams anymore. I myself will keep my Dockers as similar as i can.

Enuff of the negatives as i do really enjoy playing it as it is challenging and rewarding.
Good Job FH

From the youtube vids:

- Nice camera angle when searching for a lead
- Nice zoomed in radar
- Good addition to have players names appear on the field
- Gameplay looks smoother overall (or could just be the framerate on the vids?? dunno yet :))

Like it!

EDIT: Did anyone notice on Gameplay Vid #2, at 1:50, a funny looking green thing in the centre square? Did a double take then realised it was 2 umpires right next to each other!
 
from youtube it looks nice, players taking run ups are nice, but mooney being accurate? thats a bit sus :p

but playing AFL games since 2004 has taught me a lesson, never buy an afl game unless it is awesome, so you fat cats arent getting my money yet
 
I've negotiated with my mate to borrow his PS2 for as long as I want (in exchange for a free footy ticket to tomorrow's game) and I'll go halves with a mate for this game tomorrow.

Why is that so?

Well seriously, who wants to playing in their second season and all the massive name players like Riewoldt, Judd and co. aren't in their respective sides. It would just be like doing a fantasy draft at the start of the second season wouldn't it?

I'm sure people would rather be playing against these guys in the teams that they are at currently (except for a couple here and there), than each club having about 15 new players every year.

hes right..theres no way i would play a second season if all the good players have been delisted...whats the point of continuing on if all the teams are stacked up with no namers? wheres the fun in that...u dont see the soccer games delisting ronaldinho, lampard, henry etc at the end of a season, or basketball games delisting bryant, iverson, garnett etc...that would be garbage

every team should hold on to their guns just like real life..unless there is a suitable trade, which should be rare

It doesn't bother me too much for this version but that said though the overhaul we had planned for the offseason mode would have made such an outcome a thing of the past. It's unfortunate that these changes didn't make it this time around. Rest assured though that we have it fully sussed out but just need a fairly decent chunk of dev time to get that stuff in.

That said though, they really shouldn't have too many changes to their list with regards to big names I agree but I suppose the important thing is that the players de-listed don't get left off other team lists. As I understand these highly rated players still get a game at another club.
 
The graphics on youtube look awesome! I think youve hit a home run boys. Im going out later today to pick it up. The only thing i disliked from last years was that all the guns got delisted, hopefully you have rectified this.
 
Got the game yesterday and was impressed, some great advancements from the 2006 version.

I played the 2007 on my PS3 and noticed that everytime I used the interchange bench my ruckman (Jamie Charman) would go missing from the centre bounce and (he wasn't the one being dragged) he didn't even line up for the tap. The opposition ruckman punches the ball to the foward pocket on the full ... as good as a kick as Bruce would say!

Also are the match ups (not team set) from the training menu on ground match ups or just the both teams back pockets, fullbacks etc listed side by side.

Another point of note when the lions are in the white shorts, they wear the white socks!!! Better than those white jumpers I suppose!!!!

What the freak????

Does the AI make any interchanges guys???

Could someone please post a video showing the interchange options at quarter time??? Thanks.

I'd say the ruck bugs are related to playing it on a PS3.

In relation to the match ups in the front-end menus...MAJOR BUG unfortunately that wasn't picked up on. Damn. The idea was that you could look at your team setup and then compare the two players you have matched up in more detail.

Yeah the Lions uniform is what we were told they'd be wearing this year. I haven't seen it that way in real life yet to be honest.

So does the match-up in the ingame menu's show the full-back on the full-back or something? Could you pleasae explain this?

Sorry...the team setup menu in the front-end is how the players will line up. It looks like the matchups page in the front-end is incorrect in its display. The in-game matchups and team setup displays are correct. The bug basically means you cannot get extensive 1-to-1 matchup information between players with regards to the ratings of their attributes prior to the commencement of a match. Every other display screen is correct however.

Hope that makes it clearer? It's no biggy but it would have been nice to have the player matchups screen where two players are compared to are the direct opponents in the game.
