Not simming the game when benched until you're back on its annoying but otherwise it's fun enough
The way they've handled the interchange is bizarre. They give the option of 'watching the game' or 'simming the game', and with the latter, I think many will assume it is similar to other sports games where it will sim until you come back on the field, rather than just ending the game. So essentially they're giving you the option of playing a very small portion of the game or sitting through and watching portions where you're not playing. At the very least, they shouldn't have included that second option as it's just going to confuse people and cause frustration when their game gets ended prematurely. Really bad design.
 
Playing on hard and getting smashed.

Cons:

Who has the ball? Unless you are playing on a 65" screen I don't know how you can see possession changeovers. A tiny light blue indicator is almost invisible. And then it fills with white to indicate possession? I'm going to go blind from squinting.

Free kicks: too many paid. Too many throws. Too harsh.

Tapping the ball: who really wants it? And why have it the same button as handball? I want to take possession then quick handball. Not tap it to the oppo.

50m penalty: it's not a penalty if you are standing on your direct opponent in the protected space.

I'll return it I reckon. $100 from EB and they wouldn't price match due to no JB or Target here

It's either too easy or too hard to be honest. It's like AFL1. There are some good points like some of the players look spot on, handballing chains but kick ins are shocking. Marking is just like the other 2.

Also my game won't let me play anything more than 2.5 minute quarters. I change it and then reverts back on the loading screen into match.
 
If you play as a Forward Pocket in career you'll get pinged for stepping over the mark on a kickout every time because of where the game places you

Glad someone else noticed this too, sometimes Ive been able to avoid it. 95% of the time I cant..
 
A couple of players I picked up in Career Mode during the off-season. I simmed the first season just to see what was there:

And then here's my created player:

It's funny. If any other sports game in the world played like this there would be an outrage.

Says a lot about the community. We've been conditioned to accept mediocrity

Bit annoying how they didn't update the jumpers for the crows, lions, suns, giants, tigers and saints. Hopefully they update that in a future patch.
I'm waiting for the pc/steam version.

Well it seems like there are game-breaking bugs and horrible mechanics but yes, I'm really worried about slightly out of date jumpers :p

Really not sure if I'll bother buying it now.

I'm shipping the PS4 version to my young fella when the steam version comes out

Got the marking figured out. The advice earlier in the thread was valuable
