Multiplat AFL Evolution 2 - pre-launch thread

[Moti]

Looked pretty cool, but tbh I don't think the tapping of the ball is all that common in footy.

Praying torpedo's aren't just a guaranteed perfectly long straight kick in this game

Say that to Cyril

Wow I had doubts about this new game but that movement and loose ball was slick. The actual ball looks like it has weight, it doesn’t just flip in different directions when kicked of tapped like the last one. Overall gameplay looks heavier which makes it more realistic. Loving this so far

Jeez, give 'em a chance! I don't care if people berate the game and shit on it for all it's worth post-release, but judging it to be "another flop" from just two tutorial videos – particularly when the usually tough Facebook comments crowd have been overwhelmingly positive for them – is just cruel.

He’s a glass half empty sort of guy mate
Wouldn’t worry about it
Majority of other people like the look of it so all we can do now is wait and see how it plays

After 11 years of developing footy games that don't have the core gameplay as good as a composite football game developed 9 years ago, you start to doubt them. I mean, I'll pick it up and see how it feels for myself, but there's some dead give away signs they haven't fixed certain flaws.

Yeah it's the "heaviness" I like the look of too. Hard to explain but yeah.

Looking forward to seeing how it controls. There are times in both Live and Evolution (more common in Live actually) where I could literally take my hand off the controller, or move the stick in the opposite direction to where the player was going, and the game would ignore me and do what it thought was right. Was like watching a cartoon instead of playing. Was really frustrating. Not sure what it was, pre-rendered animations having to play through or the game being slightly automated (like the way console shooters have massive crosshairs and auto-aim compared to PC to compensate for the lack of a mouse), but whatever it was it drove me crazy.

The radar shows 1v1 everywhere but I like that its 3 v 2 around the ball with another 2v1 running in...

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Don't bring screenshots into it. ONE ON ONES EVERYWHERE!!!

 

[piesforever20]

People are too harsh on this game. You haven’t played it yet. Give it a chance. I think it’s great and I can’t wait to play it. Very impressive stuff we are being shown so far.

 

[Treehill23]

Well that’s interesting

 

[mike123]

Movement looks pretty good

Looks promising. Hard to make a conclusive call without feeling it for yourself or knowing how it works with the rest of the gameplay but so far that looks good.

 

[Quivorir]

Overall im liking what I am seeing. Just release it even earlier please.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Well that’s interesting

It’s times like these I wish I could actually go in store.

 

[Selim]

even Twistie doesnt know whats going on with that, no way they are actually doing a 2 week early release would be hella good if they did tho


Edit he posted a gif saying its happening so i think its coming out friday peeps

 

[Millky95]

Guys, it's a video game. Of course it is going to mostly be 1 on 1s. Forwards are going to be told to go forward, defenders are going to be told to defend those forwards.

You should still be able to mate
My local EB is still open

Mine is as well, but no more than 4 people in the store. It’s only a small shop though.

Sweet, Google was giving me conflicting messages.

 

[piesforever20]

Could it just be a mistake? Surely the game can’t be released that early? I hope so...

 

[Monfries7]

I want to believe that it's releasing on the 3rd but then I don't understand why they'd make a big announcement about bringing it forward from the 23rd to the 16th to then bring it forward another two weeks

 

[Juzzomac]

Social media guys got back in touch with me today - fantastic news!

I’m pretty sure EB did this last time as well.

 

[ShaunWCEFC]

Score graphics same as channel 7.

 

[Monfries7]

If Friday isn't really the release it would be a cruel April fools joke

 

[Quokka]

The tutorials could be hiding a heap of flaws but they are still the best advertising Wicked Witch has done in the last 7 years, keep em coming .

 

[Dez!]

JB still has it listed for the 16th of April, I think it's just a goof on EBs part.
