Multiplat AFL Evolution 2

[Quivorir]

I start with Ed Vickers-Willis since Goldy is injured and the game ignores the fact I keep replacing him with Tom Campbell (generally only the opening bounce then he's gone), then it becomes J-Mac until he can't go any more, than Tarrant steps up until he's dead then I run out the game with Jamie MacMillan now.



Also I just remembered. I have my quarter times set to 3.5 minutes. Every time I open the game and go back to season it displays 2.5 minutes, I have to go to options (and not actually change the setting, just open options) and then press back for it to update to 3.5. I haven't tested it, but I am pretty sure its not just a visual bug and unless I go to the options menu it will play 2.5 min quarters.

How many people here are also on the WickedSports forum?

Some individual issues/suggestions are clearly being heard on that forum...

For example, on camera angles, everyone asks for an ‘end to end rotating camera angle’ for marks and free kicks...
Would be good to have the opinions from others on each individual topic, so they can get a consensus.

Here, WW followed up and even asked if people want an ingame camera cycle button.

Suggestion - Camera options | Wicked Sports

To change the camera is too many button clicks, and there isn’t an example of what you’re changing it to in the menu (just has a picture of cogs!). The right hand side of the menu screen should show how the camera will change as I customise the options, position, angle, zoom etc. Thanks.

Yeah, They seem to be more receptive there than here. (As in loads of contact there and no contact here) Might help if people reported their problems over there than here as they'll get it and receive it. You just hope that they'll actually fix the bugs and continue to update because from the sounds of BigAntStudios, It more seems like Sebastian Giompaolo and Tru Blu are the ones who have issues with spending time getting stuff fixed and not the dev teams they work with. They seem to be pretty much the cause of all the issues we've had with things relating to developers, rushed games, bugs and the sort. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if almost every issue that AFL Games have had since the development of AFL Live 2 have been directly or indirectly the fault of them through their decisions.

On another note, I'm feeling better after taking a break from the forum. I feel my best when I only check in every once and a while.

I shouldn't have to change sliders to fix simple shit like that though.

No.... But it is a work around solution until they patch it, sliders are there for a reason.

I think it is just visual. I played one game where I noticed too late that it said 2.5 min quarters, but it still seemed like a played a 5 min quarter. I still jump into the settings every time I notice it though.

My favourite is when Kade freaking Simpson ends up in the ruck.

I mean, the dude has punched above his weight all his career, but that's just cruel.

Rory Laird is ranked 3rd in the club for hitouts in my career.

My Coach Career is set at 3.5 minutes. It shows 2.5 before every game but can confirm the games are actually 3.5 if you just click straight past.

 

[CazC30]

You can’t change the sliders to stop players kicking it out on the full while playing online?
Lucky there’s a solution - you’re playing a human...

Why bitch about “I shouldn’t have to change the sliders“, but then say “I’m already on legend difficulty“.
So you are (not you specifically) already changing a slider. Why not up another one if youre not happy with the AIs intelligence.

just played another 30min game then, ONE AI out on the full. If anything that’s not enough.
I have pressure awareness slider up around mid 70s, and the tackle awareness and another awareness slider up around the same number.

it quite literally would have been quicker to change 3 sliders than write the bitching posts on here “I shouldn’t have to do that”

Please refrain from using common sense... I have reported your post for being too practical.


Pressure awareness up to 70.... Will do this.

 

[Quivorir]

To tweak game play a little bit, not fix a broken game.

 

[CazC30]

If you dare say anything bad about the game its whinging/bitching.

For an forum it needs to be constructive otherwise we get no where.

Yes, but people are saying five minutes slider adjustments allow for a greater experience, they're problems but current world matters mean this will take time.

Correct.
If your clock setting is Count Down, and the actual time, even when you see 2.5min in the menus (and don’t change it), load the game, you can see the quarters are what you actually set (3.5min/5min..whatever).

there are a few other Purely visual things like that.
Like AFLW rules when they’re not the rules...
Go to Single Player, start setting up an AFLW game, go to match settings ensuring it says the Rules are AFLW... then back out to the main menu before starting and load your AFL or VFL Competition...
Team Management only shows 16 players, 6 on the bench...as though it is an AFLW game...which it’s not!

But if you start the game anyway, the game will properly have 18 players, 4 bench... it’s just the menus that showed it incorrectly.

I actually saw that AFLW crossover bug in Evo 1 once, funnily enough.

But yep, can also confirm this match length bug is purely visual.

Commentary can be a bit iffy.

Had my Pro Rookie CHF up to 27 touches and 7 goals before 3 qtr time. Gary suddenly says he's "barely touched it".

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah I've had Gary say a player hasn't been seen all day and the next disposal he's leading the ranking points or whatever they say. =/

For an forum it needs to be constructive otherwise we get no where.

For those that are far too sensitive to be reading posts that have an alternative view to their own, BigFooty has an "Ignore" slider.... I've recently used it and it works really well - just trying to be constructive.

 

[2006_Eagles]

What are the odds of getting some actual motion capped goal celebrations? The current ones are so unnatural; none of them feature the goal kickers teammates coming in and getting around him like happens with 99% of goal celebrations IRL. All you have to look forward to is some stiff fingers pointing at the crowd.

Context sensitive celebrations would be nice too but I don't want to ask for too much off the bat

One of the weirdest things in sports games is how crappy celebrations. You can hit a game winner in 2K and the players kind of stand around. NHL celebrations are poor. I don't get it.

It's just been handled as a "nice to have" feature forever by sports developers. FIFA has made some strides in the area;- it's still severely lacking in even the highest budgeted titles

Well no it's pretty sad that if you don't like the game you're still here sooking about it 2 weeks later. We get it, you don't like it.

People are offering real minor tweaks to make the game more enjoyable but apparently it's not even worth the couple minutes

 

[Topkent]

I'd love to see you running a takeaway joint.

'Excuse me, my food delivery is stone cold.'
'Well, you can either spend 5 minutes nuking it in the microwave, or you can waste your time whingeing to me about it.'

The fact that the customer has a means available to fix the service themselves doesn't mean that the initial service isn't subpar.

Bad analogy
More like he made a burger that was a little bland to begin with but with some sauce added becomes quite enjoyable. Yet a group of people refuse to put sauce on it out of 'principle'

To be fair, we have invested in our own Motion Capture Studio, so we can capture continuously during development, in-house, but thanks - Maxi agrees



PS: These improv's were all done real-time with us just shouting names - he is a legend!

 

[melbournemartin]

Brings up memories of Mike Fegan complaining that the guy they got in to do the Mo-cap for Ashes Cricket was left-handed and that made things hard. As if there aren't, you know, many left-handers in world cricket.

Any one got any ideas what he's up to these days?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Im really keen to play this cricket game now.

Last I heard he was raising money for an eSports venture, but that was a few years ago.

Lol cricket involves a ball being bowled and then a batter swinging. That's the whole game. So much easier than an AFL game in every single aspect.
