Anyone know if they’ll update teams lists after the draft/rookie draft?
Don't think they will. There's plenty of rookies up on the fan hub already, that's probably your best bet.

Here's an article about the history of Wicked Witch if anyone wants to read it.

It's interesting but doesn't make me feel any better about their involvement in AFL games.
It's sad to know that real Australian game developers all died out while guys who made mobile games replaced them and are now attempting to make console games.

I decided to try AFL Live again as a comparison yesterday. Evolution obviously has a lot more going on but the disposal in Live is a lot nicer and a lot more responsive.
I'd go as far as saying Live is still the better game, mainly due to being a lot less frustrating.

I disagree and I think it's an unfair comparison, because Live doesn't have the depth of skills and plays available in evolution or all the small details like wind direction and the ability to change a heap of sliders, like the dribble kick or the sidestep and so on and on it goes, probably something that would have been explored in future iterations.

But AFL Live is still one of the very best AFL games that was made and often feels a bit more fluid and natural at times, but it doesn't have the depth that Evolution has across the board, but both games are 6 years apart and probably have differences in time and development and possibly budget.

I think people forget how lucky we are that a sport with effectively 5 states in one country alone had 2 finished and released modern era Playstation/Xbox games.
 
Footy was different, Live was effectively emulating a different game.
I wouldn't say Live or Evolution has really emulated the game of their times. Neither even have players pressing up the ground or zoning aside from during kick outs. Neither allow you to put a 7th man in defence (funnily enough, I'm pretty sure AFL 99 let you do this). Both games follow a pretty strict man on man/stick to your positions kind of set up.

Evolution got a lot of things right, but it still doesn't feel right. Live is missing so many things that Evolution added, but given the choice I'd still play Live instead because of the smoothness of the way it feels.

I would still be very intrigued at what a 2K or a Dice/EA would do with AFL. It would be cool to see.

They would most likely just get a small Australian developer to make it. None of their developers would even know the rules.
It's an idea get's brought up a lot but really wouldn't work at all for the publishers or the customers.

Considering the flack NBA 2K18 and the upcoming UFC 3 have gotten for their absurd use of Microtransactions and Loot Boxes, I'm glad Tru Blu/Big Ant/Wicked Witch don't pull that stuff with their sports games.

Probably because no one would spend more money on an already terrible game.

I've got a question.

When I try to change positions of players between quarters, I will sometimes make a move, and it will say "(Player name) is not eligible for interchange".

What does that mean? How do I then move that player?

Sometimes I am moving a player from one position on the ground to another, and I am not putting anyone on interchange, yet it still does it.

If a player is active in some way e.g manning a mark, taking a set shot etc. you can't move them, just wait till the ball is moved on.

But I'm talking about BETWEEN quarters, when the players aren't active.

Often, I want to change my ruckman, but it won't let me do it, because it says that the ruckman I want to move isn't eligible for interchange.

I get that. I think it's a bug whereby the ruckman are active during the qtr break. I have to wait for the ruck contest to finish then make the change.
