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.

Did that look any different in live motion vs how it presented in the replay ?

I've had some goals (mentioned this a few times over the last month) where the in game action differed to what happened on the replay. The "live" game play would show the ball deviating at an insane angle but the replay would show it slotting in normally (or sometimes it would be vice versa, the live game play would show the ball being kicked normally, but the replay would show the ball traveling at a completely different trajectory).

In any case, if there's ever a goal kicked from behind a player, I've seen and have done it in real life, so I'd probably be mighty impressed seeing it in game form

It's always better live

Now this takes some talent!

Another instance where it’s 2 animations mashed together

You can see the player goes to kick at goal

But then the tackle animation just makes it look weird


Might even be a push in the back animation again

I saw it happen in the game and that’s what made me watch the replay so it was obvious enough

Played it for the first time in a few weeks. I was enjoying the game then but it’s just garbage now. The oppo gets a kick out of basically every tackle straight to a teammate who can run. They handball the ball faster than what is possible to keep up with and you also get no room in the contest yourself, just tackle after tackle now resulting in stoppage after stoppage when you get to the ball first. Felt like the game flowed really well last time I turned it on

Hey BigAntStudios I appreciate that it is difficult to do all the testing and everything for the console patches seeing as they have to be rock solid as you cant undo them but three questions I would love to have answered

1. Do you guys have a timeframe (yes, an estimate not a promise) for when PS4 will next be getting a patch
2. Is that next patch likely to have everything that steam has gotten so far
3. Is there plans for more features to be added to Management Mode still?

Thanks so much if these can be answered by either you or JNT BA

Yeah I don’t think there’s a ‘kicking left foot and getting tackled’ animation… which is why it looks like they switch foot mid tackle.

This was one of the support tickets I sent through a couple of weeks ago.
Would be nice if it looked better.

Patch for PS4 is out… nothing for PS5.

 

[pattymalone00]

how about PlayStation 5 BigAntStudios ?

PS4 owners rejoice

Hopefully PS5 owners get good news soon!

PS4 has been waiting a lot longer, we really wanted that one out.

 

[Kidneykid95]

Just played a game in management mode, and had a player in my 22 get injuired but with no alert/notification didn't find out to end of the game.

Can there be an alert of some sort in the actual game BigAntStudios ??

Hopefully PS5 owners get good news soon!

I'm happy for you all.

fingers crossed

I'm a 100% steam user with the game (originally wanted it on Xbox but oh well lol) just trying to pump positivity for the Sony crew.

I have been on the Steam for the sake of modding and because I have an XBox...

Anyone outside Australia want to play online? I'm in Europe and I get a ping of 400, I can play at that but other players crack the shits.

How come ps4 & 5 now come out independently of each other? Is it just this patch? Improve is that an ongoing thing moving forward? Is there more bits and pieces to play through on ps5 that say the 4 does exactly have the capacity for?

And no I’m not complaining, I have a ps4. Just genuinely interested how it works. Thanks again for keeping up with getting the game into a better space.

They have? I must have missed something. My mate and I rate the ps4 version over the 5 already. Keen for the ps5 update either way.

PS4 master race!


Nah, it really has been a while for PS4 though

 

[ItsJonesy777]

Re: Patches. I’m pretty sure PS4 has only been waiting longer because they received the tactics update when Steam did while PS5 had to wait another week.

So I believe it’s 16 days since the last PS4 patch and 10 days since the last PS5 patch but they were the same patch.

I think consoles are now 2 patches behind Steam but it’s absolutely all over the place and hard to keep track of.

Whatever the case, it’s not good enough.

On the PS4 update, after a few games..

• Hand-balling is precise and realistic, very much improved.
• You aren't tackled from behind too quickly, but i wonder if some instances are still too fast for being tackled, not sure.
• Easy and Medium modes are far more competitive and even for both teams.
• You can release a handball in a tackle a touch easier, if you are quick on release.
• short precision kicking is more satisfying, because if you time the kick the marking is now a 50/50 and the other team can intercept your kick, so timing it is satisfying.
• Wind influence seems to be fixed. The ball movement off the boot feels a bit more natural kicking for goal.
• Marking isn't quite as easy now, you do need to time it well for a contested grab.
• Centre bounce taps are more even, depending on the skills of who is in the ruck. It's more about timing.

So, it feels a bit more like AFL Live 11 now with more modern additions of course and way better graphics and animation. The gameplay is a lot more improved on this patch. Commentary is the best i've heard in an AFL game, very good flow and variety of comments related to the play.

Pretty good.

Well they could rush the patches out with glitches/bugs & things that break the game or they could wait & test them properly (like they should do). Either way it seems player’s ain’t happy.
Btw you seem be tracking tracking the patches situation just fine lol

Good to hear, looking forward to installing the patch. Hoping for a bit less of a stoppage fest.

Is the PS4 patch what Steam got last week?

Not sure which patch PS4 has received yet, patch notes were meant to be following BigAntStudios?

From memory though Steam got a couple patches last week, could be wrong though
