Hey guys, the post is up now, we just wanted to make sure the update was all good for the PS4, XB1 and Steam before announcing.

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

updated patch- appears that all players are now generic. Basically forcing everyone to purchase the dlc tomorrow.

I really liked this last year but didn’t end up playing after they’d released 1.04. Two updates and a DLC to enjoy.

Oh god, here I go getting my hopes up again.

AFL Live was good at emulating rugby scrum after rugby scrum after rugby scrum. Evo may have been too much "man on man" but there were plenty of opportunities to break out in runs, do Gary Ablett junior style 1-2 handballs before running off again etc.

I emulated so many real life passages of play in that game, I'll defend it to the death!

The only thing Evo 2 does better is that it’s easy to break tackles. Live 1 hand balling is much more responsive, so a 1,2 handball is much easier to pull off without pressing the button too many times and over handballing, players run into much better positions to receive a handball (everyone in Evo runs towards the inside back into traffic), and handballing is much more accurate in Live 1 and actually goes to a players advantage. Handballing was op in Live 1, all you had to do was draw an opposition player take the tackle and hand passes to a player in space.

In theory Evo games should be better once you’re out in space and easier to get into space because of its evasion system but the games are just to janky and the ai too stupid to really take advantage of it. Live 1 was could become a rolling maul at times but if you got the ball out in space the controls are fluid enough to allow you to use it.

I wonder if it's to do with licensing. I'm buying the DLC so it won't affect me but for any stragglers it might suck.

Surely that was a joke?

any chance it comes out at midnight?

that's when they normally come out isn't it?

 

[Xtreme]

Do I dare purchase the DLC on the Switch, Xbox AND PC versions ?

**Ok so I downloaded the patch on pc and I don't know what's going on but the player's necks now all look a bit wonky ?

It's weird as they look more disjointed to me now. Or some have a darker shadow under their chins, it's bizarre!!

 

[Selim]

that's when they normally come out isn't it?

i honestly have no idea usually for normal games yes but its an AFL game that isnt a normal game aha

 

[MadMundy]

Would midnight eastern time mean a 10pm Perth release?

yes that's what i'm hoping for

I'm more keen for the new scans than anything. Saw a Freo player in the trailer who looked newly scanned but I couldn't tell who it was.

My bad, it's James Aish. Seems Rowell is one of the people to get a new scan.
