Defence is a bit wonky now ?

Hawthorn vs Adelaide - when Adelaide kicked it in the forward 50, two Adelaide forwards were both contesting the mark (one was trying to spoil the other marking)

Can we patch George Wardlaw’s balding crown.. need this as priority fix. Thank you.

Is it that easy to get straight to the top of the list?
Here I’ve been waiting patiently for things

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

Wonder if the basketball background helped take that leap ?

nick daicos played basketball?

Its the year 2077, and opponents still haven't figured out how to beat Collingwood in the last....

 

[Xtreme]

New glitch ?

4th quarter score is not tallied in the scoreboard at the end of the game

I think they've increased shot difficulty by stealth ? Haven't missed so many shots on the run in a game previously

So I’ve actually sat down to play multiple games today. Really hard to have fun playing this game at the moment, almost feel like the 1.07 patch felt more enjoyable. Will submit some feed back BA

Gameplay feels slowed down which is great

Trying on easy now, sick of winning by 120 points...

 

[Burnsy01]

It irritates me how free opposition player are when you turn the ball over and how some times your players just stop and stand still.

 

[UAWM]

First game after new patch on hardest difficulty.. shattered i didn't make 200.. might have to switch to easiest difficulty

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Big Ant adamant difficulty is working the way it should, yet all the evidence posted here suggests otherwise?

Same with playing two player on the one console, lots of people contradicting Big Ant.

This game is weird as ****.

 

[Xtreme]

I reckon it's probably a case of their code for the "hardest" difficulty is branched to what we select as easiest, while their brance of code for the "easiest" difficulty is what we select for hardest

It's playing ok-ish now, just wish we had more control of the player and able to do more precise kicking. While mucking around the ground, I can only mark on certain parts of the forward line. I'm yet to be able to direct the ball to exactly where I want it to go every single kick (one example I'd love to take more marks on the boundary line to kick goals on tighter angles. I've been lucky to get a free kick in that area and hte occasional mark... in Evolution 1/2 it was far easier to have pinpoint accuracy with passing/kicking to targets).

Noticed speckies are in, they just tend to be called play on most of the time after completing them

 

[SugarShane]

I might be missing something but is there a way to upgrade your rookie listed players? Can't offer them a deal because they've been on the rookie too long but also can't figure out how to upgrade them.

 

[MadMundy]

Be right back about to re-create Treacy's mark from today.......oh wait I don't get any of this until Tuesday morning.

Just like getting pushed in the back, then being told to play on once you've stood up!

Still earlier than Xbox!

 

[UAWM]

I hate @ing.. people but BigAntStudios can you please explain to me the management mode/season mode. If the difficulties are fixed then I must just be amazing at this game.

First picture shows hardest difficulty, second picture shows easiest difficulty. Both are completely broken. But if i go into "Play Now" mode on the hardest I get fully pumped by the team. Is there any difference in code or anything? Can this be looked into at all?

 

[Lesnish]

Just had a pretty funny glitch. The AI kicked a point just on the siren of half time and it went to the kick out and just followed straight onto the 3rd quarter without the half time break, then my forwards became the backmen and vice versa. And everytime there was a mark they would move off the mark in the opposite direction to where they were kicking [emoji28]

D us xbox users are only 8 weeks (or more) away

Didn't age well lol. Saved their cash. Xbox knew what was up and refused to sell this shit.

please explain to me the management mode/season mode. If the difficulties are fixed then I must just be amazing at this game.

Play football manager 23. Profit.

Nice to see that Big Ant staff have a sense of humour and had to get an animation of the Bulldogs throwing the ball in the game

What happens if you start a new management mode and play a match? Is it still too easy?

I know they said you can keep playing careers with the patches but maybe that's the problem

 

[tigerairau]

Hey Ross a few things which would help management mode go a long way

- Squad numbers list: being able to allocate player guernsey numbers at the start of the year as well as mid season/rookie/preseason draft as far as I know there is no way and right now my mid season draft pick is wearing number 0

- Fixed stats in the Home Screen or management as currently they are not updated and do not show the actual yearly leaders

- Injury screen showing all current injuries

- please for the love of god seperate the reserves list to the sub and bench as a separate list

- fix subs and interchange asap currently making any interchange counts as using your sub

- PLEASE let us change the team lineup at all times, not only on game day prior to the game OR work in a system where you need the squad + emergencies listed like IRL and then pick the sub on the day
Loving the way the game is going and keep up the good work team
