Hahaha great advice did they say what time it may be up?

Unfortunately not, "sometime today" is the most recent update from BigAnt

 

[Wettoast11]

If you paid $100 for something and you didn’t think it was acceptable I think you should be allowed to say whatever you want.

 

[BuddyF23]

They need sliders , this ai a little too easy , getting better but still I remember how hard it was on afl evo 2 which is good

 

[RiCHii]

Just an idea guys, if we see any glitches or things missing in the game, maybe we can list them respectful and let Ross know. I don't think rushing in here crapping on the game is going to help fix any issues.... You may get some cheap likes though [emoji6]

Just some truth-bombs for Ross and Co.

One for you as well - People have spent their hard-earned dollars on this bin fire of a game. This is what they put out? A slap in the face to people who went out and purchased this game. I would have preferred another set back than be dished up this dog shyte.

Cheers mate

 

[Treehill23]

Spitting facts old mate.

No play sessions, no gameplay trailer.

Fake delays because game clearly not ready April 13th or whenever it was.

Alarming stuff. Lying to the consumer and then treating them like dirt, to then come out and release a pile of garbage for $100.

Never seen anything like it. Wonder if the patches actually correct how much of a mess this currently is.

Irrefutable industry data

Those who are following my new purchases today.. it’s gone into sleep mode and the games are installed. Do I turn it off or just let it stay in sleep mode to install the patch later?

 

[Kickpuncher]

Have the camera angles at certain grounds been corrected? Most are wrong from what I’ve heard but I know both Alberton and Adelaide Oval need to be switched

Yeah but there's posters here who haven't and have never considered buying the game that are constantly react trolling and revelling in the chaos. Doesn't really help things.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

to the day

 

[AnAussieWancker]

Just like to say as well enough dickheads with the criticism its in the past its done its happened now lets all give feedback on the game and the game itself not the marketing scheme, Ross or anyone else who works at big ant the game is the problem if we all give advice and bring to light some details that we would like to be fixed it could help them improve the gameplay to get the best out of the game. but if your just gonna come on here and have a swing at them its not going to do anything you may as well just through your skull into a brick wall because that's all its accomplishing. Something ****ed up end of story.

 

[tastiger]

Yes guys it's our fault for making a stadium without a fence, what idiot would choose to make a stadium without a fence , you RUINED the game

Where did he blame anyone, he was mearly giving a reason.

I wiped out a whole server at work today because I was playing this and not paying attention. Impacted 3500 users. I feel that

On the bright side they now have a new found appreciation for the data they once had. It all balances out.

Yeah I also don't think Ross himself actually coded the stadium fence thing haha

 

[RossFC]

I noticed with handballing, I have to hold it for a bit and there is a mini power bar. Still struggling with hitting quick handballs though.

 

[jc12]

I know its not the same, and its happening for different reasons...But...

That's actually realistic though

 

[new0066]

Twistie playing the whole new patch and reckons is a whole new world. Some hope

He also tweeted this out, so he’s not saying it’s perfect

My power bar goes invisible when lining up for set shots about 6 times a game before the game completely crashes.

[Cheifkeith95]

Honestly if they just fix the busted AI I’d be mostly happy with this

 

[Freo16]

Just played my first match… (apologies if I’m repeating what others have said)

- I really like a lot of it but there’s some serious jankiness - how much of this is the game or just me not really knowing how to play, I’m not sure

- Player movement is a little weird, I think players have weight to them but there’s a real stop/start everytime you switch to a new player

- Optus has also got the broadcast camera on the wrong side

- No state leagues, no pro team and seemingly none of those mini-games we were promised (I honestly don’t know what was supposed to be in the game though)

Yet to have a crash, but I do notice the power bar goes invisible as well sometimes.

Yeah mate leave it in rest mode. Maybe run the game ocne if you haven't already as sometimes rest mode updating can be a bit dodgy on games not played in a while.

 

[Cryptic56]

After this update the games actually challenge me somewhat. Optimistic for how this game will turn out as the foundation seems decent. Looking forward to the promised content appearing over the next week or two.

 

[Quivorir]

Thats not true. I had full intentions to buy the game until the CEO doxxed me.
