AFL Evolution - Launch thread

[Paddles_]

Sorry if this has been covered already, does anyone else have any issues with tackling on a fast break? I find myself mashing triangle while directly behind someone as they're sprinting away from me and not even attempting a tackle.

This certainly isn't PS1 graphics!!

Lol not even close to realistic, the stadium is actually full

Lost to Hawthorn at the G by one lousy point after kicking 3 straight behinds in the last quarter (to Hawthorn's nothing) mainly due to stupid things like hitting the wrong button to soccer an easy goal.

The curse is real

oh god, i'm so sorry...i...i don't know what to say..condolences to you my friend.

Will RLL4 let me manage a pokies establishment owned by the NRL team?

Holding triangle down?

Holding triangle down?

No combination of pressing triangle seems to work

It's a pretty good curse if you ask me

Roughead kicked 18 should have had 25 but set shots trouble me sometimes (depending on distance).

Has anyone else encountered an issue as a rookie with stamina?

I've been taken off the ground from being fatigued every match in my TAC Cup season, and instead of simulating the game I have to watch it to continue playing that game (or it simulates to the end). I've increased endurance in my attributes but there's no "stamina" bar to be seen.

Any ideas? I'd like to play the whole game (rather than 50% of it)

Try not to use the sprint trigger except in short bursts to provide a lead. Found when i did this i would only be taken off with a couple of minutes left in the quarter then would start the next quarter on the field. Also as soon as your named Captain of your side you can take yourself off the pine and back in the game.

Try holding triangle down but pulse the sprint trigger at the same time. Seems to give my players that stretch more to close down opponents.

Not really relevant but have a look at the graphics on the new upcoming Rugby League game, being made by none other than BigAnt

Thanks for that. I did the "avoid the trigger" part for a whole first quarter and still got dragged with 8 mins to go. Am I missing something else?

Great tips video from Syrum. Some of those centre clearances are really smooth.

Re - The statement re the 'last gen' porting.... It is highlighted at least twice in the article and is the leading CONs summary point, the comments in the review strongly suggest the writer actually knows this to be true or it could be more a rant (Its a lie...? is quite a bold statement). The review seems quite in depth compared with others I have read. Has anyone actually asked WW the question and has it been rebutted by them?

It's more a rant. I can tell you that this is much, much better than AFL Live 2. This is realistically what AFL Live 2 should have been, Not the rushed mess of a rubbish game that It actually was.

There are elements of it in the gameplay (ex: The way you do Set Shots) but not the horror that some people will make you think it is. It's not a perfect game and it's quite buggy in some places but it is fun and a patch or two could really help it out. (Just learn how to Mark. It can be frustrating at first.)

AFL Evo 2 needs BT as main commentator imagine it, IT CANT BE IT CANT BE, THAT WAS THE BIGGEST BENDER I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE, I TELL YOU WHAT THIS GUY HAS THE PACKAGE HE HAS THE LOT, WEEEEEEELINGHAAAAM, BIG BOY MCEVOY CANT RUN HIM DOWN, HIS DONE THE STRING HIS DONE THE STRING, BOY OH BOY WOW WEE, THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS.

Not even a fan of rugby but will buy this looks perfect now how about a unlicensed AFL game from Big Ant kind of like how PES do it where you can import real teams into the game with option files could they do that or not?

 

[Bardo State]

Why is medium so damm hard? Cant even get my hands on the ball and normally lose by 50+. I change the difficult to easy and then it's too easy. Difficulty settings are out of whack and need to be fixed.

I think you might just need a little more practise. I suck at video games by and large but find medium difficulty on Evolution pretty breezy. Is there anything in particular you are having trouble with?

Honestly don't think it's plausible for them to do it. No way they'll be able to share the market with AFL Evolution. As much as I'd like for it to happen, it just ain't going to happen. Developers need to be incentivised with licensing and support from the sport, can't see developers in Australia going off on their own creating an unlicensed game to compete with a game that's licensed and endorsed by the code

But then again, graphics is only so much of the game. Even tho it looks spectacular, we got a bit hyped up about the graphics in Evolution also.

It's a bit hard. The market is small enough for licensed Aussie Rules games, Imagine the market for an unlicensed footy game.

It also doesn't help that Tru Blu are the only Aussie Publishers out there. If there was another Aussie publishing house, I'd say that Big Ant should go to them about making an PES-like Aussie Rules game to take on WW's AFL series (It would stop people moaning about WW having the AFL games over Big Ant when they would also have a series to work on.) but there's the problem. There isn't. The market just isn't big enough. :/

The market is too small and PES already has a great reputation and gameplay to survive on.

A shit licensed AFL game will destroy an amazing unlicensed one.

BT's commentary can be rubbish but at least getting him as the main commentator could push for a new commentary system (Which to say that it is desperately needs an update is an understatement.)

Damn he's good.

Just goes to show how much depth there is to the game and how much I still need to learn.

If his opinion is it's a port, and theirs is that it was from the ground up, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It's far too much of an upgrade to be a port, but at the same time there are so many things that are directly ripped from the old games and clearly not ground up created.

Wow. This game is lot more in-depth than some people give it credit for. I actually did not know how in-depth game play actually got and that is actually pretty deep. I'm impressed.
