Multiplat AFL Evolution 2

[ptrg]

Has anyone played it with the 1.03 patch installed yet? Interested to hear if it is playable yet or still bug infested trash. I'm keen to buy this if it is playable but not a chance of dropping $79 on it in its 1.02 state

Loving playing it with 1.02.
Looking forward to playing with 1.03

I reckon quick handballs are better now. Noticing they’re not consistently missing the target and now seem more useful.

Because people kept tagging him so he answered.

All 120-odd posts?

Ok.

Ok.

Pretty much. Tag him and he appears. Not sure why you seem to have a problem with it.

I was wondering why he'd waste so much time. That's all.

Not sure why you're so offended.

Why have you wasted your time making 45k posts on BF?

Everything you do offends me.

Welp.

Just had Tom McDonald run into an open goal, literally on the goal line and I press circle.........................out on the full.

The ball actually went at right angles from the goal square to out on the full.

Nothing better to do. And 46k, round properly please.

Not as much as some it seems.

Were you facinf the direction of the goal?

Running into an open goal and then the guy running over the line before he kicks it is annoying

Played two games post patch won by 1 and 2 points including after the siren goal. - medium difficulty setting

It better IMHO , seems to have an ok feel now.

I still don't know half the controls

It's not 2k FIFA or FM but that was always unlikely

Running directly in front right at the goals, kicked it at the last possible second.

The game is ok. I’m in a nice flow. At times he has a nice footy flow. At other times it’s meh. I think it’s the best game yet though.

 

[LennyHayes77]

ptrg any chance you could post up the sliders you're using? I know you have in the past but I'm sure you would have tweaked and updated them since then.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Is there any point using bigger stronger players apart from marking?

Speed seems to suit the game more?

Short. Grimes. Baker.
Houli. Astbury. Vlastuin.
Caddy. Cotchin. Lambert.
Edwards. Lynch. Stack.
Bolton. Riewoldt. Rioli.
Nankervis. Martin. Prestia.
Soldo. George. Pickett. Higgins.

I watched a couple of gameplay videos on YT pre 1.03, and it seems like the AI always play thru the middle of the ground and kick 99% of their goals from directly in front. The other 1% from an angle is only if the user plays along the boundary and turns the ball over.

Is this what always happens?

I reckon quick handballs are better now. Noticing they’re not consistently missing the target and now seem more useful.

Noticed this too. I used to hardly ever handball because the ball seemed to have a mind of its own no matter what I did, now it actually seems to go to the player I want it to go to. I could chain handpasses really well, got it out to Jetta who was free and streaming forward at half forward and he hit Kennedy on the chest. Felt very realistic.

It's still not perfect, but getting better. Still needs a few more patches though but I'm enjoying it a lot.

I struggle with ruckwork though. Can win pretty much every contest, but my ruckman just smashes it a mile instead of tapping it to the player I'm aiming at. Maybe I'm doing it wrong

Could easily be argued that building a personal rapport with the gaming community outside of the canned PR stuff is not time wasted for a gaming company.

Will do. Have certainly tweaked them since the last 2 updates, and I’ve improved (really finding how important a good possession game is, as well as handballing.)
I’ll post them when I next fire up the game.

Not sure if it’s obvious or not, but I’m really enjoying the lock on kicking now.
it doesn’t work 100% of the time (and I’m cool with that, as I use to almost always manually aim passes), but the 95% that it does, it creates great linkage and out numbering plays.

Since I play with play direction camera, every turn over pivots the camera 180.
But the lock on targeting system is based on camera view, and the stick direction is relative to that.

So I can very quickly “hunt” the player I want by continually moving the left stick in the direction of the player i want, and tapping R1 until the right one is locked.
where this is most helpful is finding free men, whether it’s a switch or an overlap. (on some fast overlaps after a switch, I usually manually chip it, as it’s quicker and I can kick into the free space a man is running to, so he can run on with it).

I now have absolutely no issues doing ”blind” switches, as I angle my left sick sideways at the free man on the map, and then lock on to him. (As players move, it might take a few taps of R1 to target the correct guy)
This quite often creates overlaps for an extra man over the top, or a short kick to a free team mate. (One important slider to reduce is AI smothering, so they don’t smother every kick you take without fully pushing back off the mark).

again, probably common knowledge, but massively improved my enjoyment and the free flowing nature once I improved at this.

 

[Marcel Proust]

The more pressing is should I use Rance ??

Feels more realistic without him but I suck and he's rated 88 or something

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Haven’t been following the thread for a month or so but still enjoying this greatly. Game is improving with the patches, AI particularly.

Is there a way to save default settings for single matches, or so I still have to change the quarter length and time of day every time I want to play a quick match?

 

[mike123]

So handball accuracy is better but what about players running for the handball receive?

Do they run into smarter positions now or do they all still run into traffic?

 

[D1Matman]

Are set shots at goal any more challenging in 1.03 on the medium to higher difficulty levels, or still the same?

Same.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

The game is still damn fun to play.

Finding it really irritating though when I have a loose ball in the goalsquare and I'm trying to soccer it through. I've tried tapping and holding down the goal kick button, but I reckon 7/10 times my player will pick it up, and in turn will run it over the line for a rushed behind.
