AFL Evolution 2 Realism Thread (game sliders, player ratings, player likeness, tactics)

Here are my current CPU/AI sliders now that I've improved a bit - these result in more accurate AI scorelines, and much better ball usage and decision making by AI. (Only other adjustments I've made to my previous sliders is all marking is 50 for both User and CPU, with fumbles at 60 for both)...

For anyone interested in undertaking a group project to make some accurate rosters.

He’s referring to the fact that many draftees have skewed body shapes with beer guts and white hair

Or the classic abundance of 7 foot African dudes.

Saw one drafted in my career mode... named Joseph Casboult

 

[Coxy_]

I wish the ruckman I drafted was a 7 foot African instead of a 178cm redhead

 

[jackess]

My player was taken off with about a minute to go so I simulated and somehow my team managed to kick 0.11 to 3.0

Big Boy McEvoy has gone down with injury, James Sicily has taken his place in the ruck (well damn!!!).
Tom Mitchell seems to have found a home in the forward pocket, luckily he's accurate in front of goal.
Impey seems to have improved in front of goal the past 3 games (4, 3, 3 goals) - normally he'd get 1 goal 2-3-5 behinds per game. But he's nailed every shot at goal (set shot and on the run) the past couple of games.

I started playing the game again last night after just over a week's break.... I don't find it as addictive to play as I did Evolution 1. I'm hoping for a patch that fixes a few key things. Still kind of keen to check out the pc version to see if the frame rate improves.

AI probably kicking it out on the full constantly slowly inching closer and closer to goal. Game probably went for another 3 hours real time.

So I’ve played 2 full seasons as a player. In both I’ve missed 12 weeks with a face fracture.

Did lol.

Dunno how that's allowed to happen. Don't recall it an issue in Evo 1. If anything the rucks kept getting bigger. Had several rucks running around that were 214cm or even 216cm at one point I think.

In either game though, I really, REALLY wish the bloody draft screen would actually list heights, attributes etc.

I kind of agree, though I can't quite put my finger on why. Obviously there's issues but it's more to do with the core gameplay I think.

Don't get me wrong, when it all comes off properly and the crowd and commentator noises all sound in sync with what's going on, it's pretty entertaining. But I think it's the midfield play in particular I don't find quite as satisfying. Seems like most of the midfield plays are more like rugby, where there's a bunch of scrimmages or just plain insta-hack kicks forward. Granted sometimes in the actual game it can be like that, but in Evo 1 it seemed a bit more open and some of the gun mids got to shine like you'd expect. In this one I feel like the mids are a bit too even or something across the board too.

If you are playing a multiplayer game offline how do you access team management for the away team ?

Um, through Team Management? Both players manage them when you go there when I've played multi.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Beat the Tru Blu team after a pretty entertaining comeback by two points.

Boy oh boy wowee half the team are Giompaolo's though. Nothing like a bit of nepotism I guess

Did you try emailing the coach telling him you're looking for opportunities during those weeks off?

 

[jackess]

wasn’t a problem. Still won the Brownlow and the Coleman only playing half the season.

Think my new contract mustve been worth about $4mil a year as 3/4 of the team were delisted. Zorko went number 1 in the draft

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

OK so recently in my coaching career mode I found a few glitches with regards to suspended players being able to play, injured guys asking for am opportunity in the starting 22 etc.

But I have found the doosie come post-season during the trade period...

You can sign free agents and then trade them straight away.

So I thought it'd be fun to see how many high draft picks I could acquire.

I proceeded to sign and trade the likes of Cunnington, Goldstein, T.Walker, NicNat, Boak, R.Gray, Hawkins, Ryder, JPK to name a few. I kept Pendles as my main signing as I love him as a player, and my salary cap was about to burst having to give every signing a pay rise... even if they didn't play a game for the season, which is another glitch.

Despite finishing with the flag in the season prior, after these trades I ended up with Picks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 18, 21, 22 plus a few more later. So I pretty much own the draft ala. Gold Coast.

Oh, and I traded in Noah Anderson and Rowell for Polson and a late draft pick.

Shortly after these trades, Freo offered Fyfe for Pick 1. But the stupid thing is you can't take a sneak peek at the draft to see how highly rated the draft prospects are; whether it is an even draft or if there is a standout youngster, which would mean it's better to keep the top pick. Makes zero sense.

Sounds like the trading etc is just as ludicrous as Evo 1 then.

Evo 1 you could finish with the flag 15 years in a row and trade for Picks 1,2,3 etc all in the same trade period by offloading spuds and/or journeymen with some later picks as sweeteners. Just so easy to abuse the system.

Change your sliders.

Had a ripper game against Richmond, they shot off to an early lead, which I slowly clawed back. They shot off to another lead in the third quarter. I was on a mission to win in the final term, they stunted my momentum with a few clutch defending marks as well as a a goal throughout the quarter. I was looking like I was going to be defeated, a few late goals, brought me to within striking distance with seconds left.

I get it down to my forward 50........ thinking yes I'm going to win it now...... Richmond take a mark, which makes me almost throw my controller on the ground in disgust . Until, the CPU AI kicks the ball............................... STRAIGHT IN THE AIR. It traveled a little (just enough for the mark I took to be declared legal). The siren went and I was on an angle, the wind was going bonkers (enough to make me miss a few normally gettable goals throughout the match). The ball gets kicked, and it does enough to sail through the two big sticks. Hawthorn win the game with a set shot after the siren (unlocking the achievement for doing so in the process).

YOU LITTLE BEAUTY.

Hawthorn are poised to finish first on the ladder, two games clear ahead of Geelong.

Hey Ross, do you have a forum or specific thread (on another forum) for Cricket 19 questions/stuff? I would prefer not talking about such things here, but there are definitely things I wouldn't mind knowing.

I’m thinking you’d be one of those he’s ‘ignored’ mate. Considering you work for WW

I've completely stopped playing the game after getting in about 12 hours within the first week.

I'll just wait for a patch, but at this point, I really hope it's a big one with some wholesale changes to fix up a lot of the bugs.

 

[mike123]

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

Shout out to Cricket 19, BA have made authenticity a priority and it shows.

Fifa pretty much has every top player’s signature celebration. It’s hardly lacking. PES has less but still plenty.

 

[mike123]

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'

Nah it’s more like the burger is burnt but we get told just to put some sauce on it to fix it.

One weird one that I dislike out of everything else I've seen..... do a Mal Michael (roost the ball into the opposite end goal) and the only way it's a deliberate rushed behind/free kick to opposition is if it goes between the goal and point post. Whereas kick it through the big sticks and it's just a normal rushed behind!.

You're right, PES celebrations are so much more natural, possibly best in the game. A lot of FIFA celebrations are rigid as hell tho

You could try the virgin infested planet cricket... There're some decent posters and modders there but just be careful of the hoi polloi. Big ant engage very well there (as they ignore the fu**silly people).

Mmmm, "virgin infested" sounds so appealing. Thanks for the reply CazC30. I might actually be one of the fu**silly people who get ignored there, but I can but try at least.

Looks like you may be right - especially when you consider that he "liked" CazC30's post, yet didn't respond to me at all.

I have to say the whole attitude has really soured me - especially considering that I've bought multiple titles by Big Ant and have enjoyed them immensely. Having said that I might have to "ignore" all Big Ant titles in future, and recommend that my readers do the same.

Anyhow, thanks for the link. I appreciate it.
