Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 with added Pro Team

[FearTheBeard13]

Seems like patch notes are out already .. not sure how to feel about it.. thoughts??

ITS GONE LIVE ALSO! Just got it on PS5 = 1.7GB

So we can conclude Training mode, along with single player mode just never existed and they’ve taken us for a ride since day 1 I swear this mob never fails to deliver on failing to deliver.

Got my 'Downtown' achievement thanks to this monster kick which is still rolling around the streets of Adelaide somewhere.

In all seriousness, the 200m kicks, 100m handballs and general ball physics where the ball keeps rolling and rolling until it crosses the boundary need to be fixed if this game is going to be "the most authentic video game football experience to date".

I wonder if you could see those streets if you use the interactive replay on the ball. I saw someone trying to do that to see what AAMI Park looks like from Punt Road.

we can all bicker over what we think of each others opinions and feedback/criticism but we've all got one thing in common and that's the desire for a great AFL game.

That’s something I don’t think we are going to get. Big Ant will work on one thing, but people will always complain about something else, in the end proving it will never be perfect.

Look at the release of eFootball (PES free to play) - the release was crap, exactly like AFL23. Modes missing, failed gameplay and animations. Maybe the issue there was the move to unreal engine - we won’t know. But eFootball is still missing important game modes and the edit mode. That is a massive fail in release, and still is.

You just can’t take the camera position to outside the field… but you can see the surroundings (like AAMI Park, the ‘G and Richmond Station here).

 

[Murraj1966]

Much less thrilling but nonetheless of interest, I tried to undo the pain against Freo when this happened. Some days the footy gods are against you.

 

[Mootsy]

Are the Tasmania Devils playable as of yet?
Their uniforms look pretty cool.

 

[Coxy_]

Just played this for the first time on a mates PS4

Jesus Christ. How do you release such a broken game? It is fun in patches, looks beautiful at times but heck me it is full of issues. Unbelievable

When is the new West Coast coach getting scanned in BigAntStudios

Well they already have Simmo in his new role as goal umpire!

 

[Demonic Ascent]

So what’s the steps to reproduce this?
I tried:-

• Have two controllers signed in to PS5 and connected to PSN accounts
• Start the game
• Controller 1: Press X to get past splash screen.
• Controller 1: Select ‘Play Now’
• Controller 1: Select AFL
• Controller 2: Press Start to add Controller. (I think I needed to press this a second time… not sure)
• Controller 2 account ‘signs in’ in the game, and can be switched to either side.

I do everything but when I get to the final dot point it crashes to an error screen. Doesn't even let me enter the email to login, just crashes after a few seconds/characters entered.

Is this a new one?
Daicos & Holmes running in backwards from the wing?

Misso let me back on after I did some stuff around the house!
Probably shouldn’t have!

The backwards running bug has been in it since release.

First time I’ve seen it! Thanks mate

BigAntStudios can you please explain the discrepancy between opposition getting rid of the ball from every tackle and the player not having any way of doing so once the opposition lays hands on them?

For a while I was getting more success using the Clearance Handball/Kick (L2) when being tackled.
Also, some tackle animations will allow a handball, others won’t.

Isn’t eFootball free and not $99?

Although, its gameplay is top tier, you'll see that echoed on YouTube a lot. And it's free, I had so much fun with it. The brand just isn't as popular as FIFA, though, it's missing the licenses and modes, too, but the gameplay and online mode is worth playing it.

BigAntStudios Rather than making it slower for better kickers, could they just have a bigger sweet zone instead? Otherwise there's the risk of being run down from holding the button down too long.

I’m honestly confused by your post and not sure you thought it through before posting.

You’re trying to go in to bat and defend BA but you’re then comparing their $100 game to a F2P game and coming to conclusion that they’re both very similar.

Well I know which I’d prefer if given the option…..that’s right, the one that costs substantially less money for a similar quality product.

On the other end of the spectrum we have Ross comparing AFL23 to EA Sports titles.

Completed the finals series and The Mighty Hawthorn Hawks are 2023 premiers

The QF and PF were tighter contests than the grand final itself. I was sure I was going to get overrun in the earlier games. But the grand final itself.... WOWSERS, it was tight in the first half. But the second half, the AI kind of crapped itself - it wasn't the usual spreading/sprinting/dominating self and I was able to break them down further with chip kicks mixed with clever (but risky knowing how dodgy it can be) handballs.

So keen to play this myself eventually. A shame management mode is a long way off what was promised atm.

 

[DEAN0]

Can you simulate games in management mode? I can't find the option anywhere, seems possible in season however

 

[Pickitt]

Noticed they changed the distance you can set shot from to about 55m instead of 65ish, why?

 

[MundysMum]

I've submitted a ticket but I wanted to say this on here anyway. I really really really hope big ant flesh out the management career mode. Right now, I don't think its unfair to say that its their Main Mode and its horribly lacking depth. Evo 1 and 2 had pretty in depth career mode which included financial management, staff, training, tactics ect. Right now we basically have a stripped down season mode with draft and player contracts. Its quite disappointing. I hope Ross and Big ant make this a priority.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

On my way to winning the grand final and the ****ing commentary cuts out in preparation for a stall. Submitted a ticket. Super frustrating bug.

 

[Xtreme]

Haven't touched management mode at all, once I heard about the bugs (like the commentary stopping and then eventually having to quit out etc) I was like hellllllllllllllllllll no. Season mode has it's own quirks (have had a few games need to be restarted after freezing while taking a mark etc), don't need extra frustration with the game.

I'm running through a new season mode as North Melbourne, currently undefeated. My main motivation now is to play the game periodically and try out the new patches as they release. I'll still be posting videos of moments that I have in the game (the good, bad and the ugly of course!).

Just a couple of quirky moments

This one was funny, AI jumps up for the spoil, I stay grounded and it lands on the chest

AI opponent decides to do some stretches instead of you know... INTERCEPT THE BALL
