AFL Evolution - Launch thread

[AngryRanga]

I have a method to successfully spoil like 95% of contests on legend and online....

But I don't want to tell anyone because it might ruin my online win streak

Most games shipped unfinished. I can't remember a game that released and then didn't have a patch released thereafter.

Then people are within their rights to return those games too. Just because you perceive it as industry norm doesn't mean others have to accept it.

There is also varying significance of patching. Some will be minor tweeks out a basic update to certain areas, others will be required to make certain modes payable.

My upload! Was loving how I got a bit of 1-2 action with Burton and Burgoyne that transgressed to a goal. Enjoying the game a heap at the moment

Out of interest (haven't actually looked at camera options yet) what angle is this?

I love how salty anybody who enjoys the game gets when somebody posts about how crap they think this game is. I'm enjoying this game fine because any AFL game is better than nothing, but let's not act like it's amazing or comparable to FIFA 14 in anyway LMAO. There are SEVERE issues with this.

It's unacceptable that getting suspended in Be A Pro completely ****s up and glitches out the entire mode. Disgraceful. Did they even test the game? I had to completely abandon a career mode because of this glitch, so cheers Wicked Witch. What's the bet this never gets patched? Same thing with the goal kicking. I bumped up the difficulty to hard and the AI makes more shots now, but they still miss way too many Joe the Goose goals from the goal square. It's like every AI player in this game is Josh Bruce. Surely if they played one game on Medium or lower they would have realised that goal kicking was completely stuffed. Not to mention almost every tackle you lay is a free kick against, while it's almost impossible to win a free kick yourself.

We also still have the problem that all 18 players on the ground from each team tag their opposition players. In general play, you can often create loose players, but as soon as there's a mark or even worse, a free kick, everybody stands with a partner like they're in primary school. The most egregious is that whenever there's a free kick the whole field resets. Why on earth would they do this? It destroys the flow of the game.

Also, whoever said the goal kicking mechanic is great is insane. Outside of my first couple of games I literally haven't missed a set shot because it's so simple. The wind is so easy to account for, and if there's no wind a shot from 50m out on the boundary is as easy as taking a shot from the square.

There are tiny glimmers of a good game here, but way too many serious problems that could easily be ironed out of they actually had some QA.

How do the stats work? The reason I ask is that I may have 32 uncontested possessions and 20 contested yet I only have 25 kicks and 17 handballs. They don't total properly.

Also I reckon they should adjust the view from full back on a kick in. So hard to see where/who you are kicking to.

If you get the ball and get tackled and either a whistle is blown or the ball spills out it counts as a possession but not a kick/handball.

Anyone else having online problems ?

I try to find a match and it either kicks me back to the main online menu or tells me "the online lobby is no longer available"

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Can anyone help me solve my issue;

When I try and go onto community fanhub I always get the message "The AFL Fanhub servers are currently unavailable. Please try again later." Any idea how to fix?

Any one at all able to help me with a solution here ?

 

[Madferret]

Is there anyway you can get your created player from fan hub into career or competition???

 

[nahnah]

Marking really isn't that hard, far from perfect game but the best AFL game I've played. They need to fix the frees and the other glitches.

 

[snitzel]

Good shout, everyone should pay $30 so the developers have no money to make future iterations.

This make no sense on so many levels.

Check the market, games like this are not worth full $100 price.

"oh small aussie team of 15 made the game" then why the hell is the games priced like 200 hundred people worked on it.

 

[Monfries7]

Evolution and 'good' shouldnt go in the same sentence. Take off your rose coloured glasses and step back - its terrible.

Youre implying the existence of AFL Live explains the (lack of quality) of this game, which makes sense cos that was an over rated, hideous clusterf*** as well.

It's one thing to come here and voice your concerns about the game, that's fine. But to come here and tell other people what they should think about the game is ridiculous.

Reads like the familiar DBC bagging trolls lol

AFLE was $79

 

[BallaratBulldog]

AFLE was $79

99.99 if you brought it from eb or psn store. 79 is still alot for what it is.

 

[Buddy Love#23]

AFLE was $79

$79 is what AAA games cost at stores that aren't EB. This game is not even worth $79. A game made on this budget with a team like that should be $40-$50.

 

[TheBloods17]

Anyone else finding their online games not being recorded? Played 4 but nothing is showing up in the my rank page.

I'm having the same problem. I messaged their Facebook page. Have you heard anything or has it been fixed for you? Cheers.

Funny how when people have an agenda against the game they resort to stupid exaggerations. Yes ps1 had better graphics right? ******* smh

Most games only require patches to fix minor issues or make small tweaks. In some cases, there might be a bigger bug or two that needs addressing.

This game appears to have problems everywhere. In every mode, people are reporting game-breaking problems or things not working as they should. That would suggest to me that labeling the game an unfinished product is apt.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

AFLE was $79

The RRP is $100.

 

[Tom12]

I just can't stand that everyone plays man on man the WHOLE game! Is there any way around this haha ie. to play a zone?

Footy hasn't been played that way in god knows how long.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

The gameplay isn't a mess at all, the game actually plays quite well and feels like real footy (have to differentiate between shit gameplay or being shit at gameplay)

Evolution is the best AFL game by a mile and yes it has problems (what game doesn't) but very few of them actually affect gameplay and none of these problems are stopping you from playing a great game online

Real footy isn't played with each player magnetized to their man. It's not just a constant series of one-on-one contests.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

I hate the fact that the AI chose that option in the first place, wouldnt happen in real life so shouldnt happen in the game.

You mustn'twatch much footy then ?????

Are you saying the lower game is PS1?
