AFL Evolution - Launch thread

[Funky_Kong]

Has anybody noticed every time you are tackled you will get pinged for holding ball but when you lay tackles on AI opposition the ball either pops out to the opposition or on rare occasion a ball up is called ? AI never gets pinged for holding the ball.

 

[scaryness]

When I figure the marking out, I'll like the game more.

I can't handle the holding the ball calls as soon as you get tackled.

I have found pressing Y/triangle when the ball begins to come down is the best timing. Get consistently 'good' ratings doing that.

Is anyone else having issues getting on to the fan hub? Always tells me the servers are unavailable

 

[YelloMit]

How do you get banana kicks to work from general play? I know it's supposed to be L2 and Circle when near the boundary, but every time I try it near the boundary my player just ends up torping it.

You have to be super close to the boundary. I've never had that problem.

What does everyone reckon about a bugs list thread? I recall one being made on here when AFL Live 1 came out and it seemed to be taken well as it makes it easier for the devs to see what they need to fix

Hmmm weird. I had a shot on the run with Gunston where I was no more than a metre from the boundary and he torped it.

I have an issue where during gameplay, the HUD is slightly off screen. Small thing but really annoying. Menus are fine as to are other games.
Does anyone know how to fix this by any chance ?

 

[bananatigz]

Apologies if already asked, but is anyone else having problems with the camera in be a pro mode? Very hard to follow the play

Definitely.
I think this game has potential to be extremely fun. Already the best AFL game to date imo. With some tweaks and fixes this could be quite good
Constructive feedback to Wicked Witch will hopefully produce a patch or two.
I just really hope this is a continued series as another overhaul will just be a waste at this point

It might depend on which foot they kick on. Walters is a right footer, and I was on the right side, so he banana kicked it.

If Gunston is say, a left footer and is on the right side, it wouldn't make sense for a banana kick.

I find the scoreboard and other on screen text too bloody small, if they increased it a bit it would be golden.

 

[illnino]

Yes you can

I'm playing a pro career and I can pause at any time and go into the team lineup and put myself back on

There is honestly no 'team lineup' option in the pause menu for me while playing a Be a Pro game. Possibly because I'm playing as an already rostered player instead of a created rookie player?

Not trying to be a negative prick, cos I'm somewhat enjoying the game, but I have a massive list of bugs ready to post when that thread is ready.

We should also stress to NOT post gripes about the game that aren't actually bugs.

Put the difficulty on easy in my first match to learn the controls and whatnot, had a thumping 130 point win. Put it up to normal and won by fifty in the next. Decided that I might be ready to play Be A Pro - debuted with 31 disposals and six goals at TAC cup level. I guess you could say I'm still trying to find the right difficulty balance.

Despite only playing three games, I'm enjoying it. I think the marking criticisms have been a little overstated and I haven't had too much issues with it. If you hold down the button once the ball is kicked and then release it once the icon flashes, depending on your position in the marking contest you should be winning your fair share. Also, it's a much more immersive experience when you change the camera angle. It allows you to see targets in front of you, and I went coast-to-coast multiple times from a kick-in as a consequence.

In saying that, not all positives. It would be nice to be able to simulate the game until your player comes back on from the interchange. Apparently your player is off for the entire duration of the third quarter too, so that needs to be a priority fix. Opponents and teammates alike missing the most ridiculously easy goals from the goal square. I really am enjoying it though and it's nice to have a admirable AFL game on current gen - I'll be coming back to it for quite a while.

 

[illnino]

Marking is easy on anything below 'hard' difficulty. Get back to me once you play on hard or legend.

Having said that, I'm finding that using the right stick to jostle is really only necessary when you are right next to your opponent as soon as the ball is kicked your way. Don't use it if that isn't the case. Also, I'm having slightly more luck marking using the specky modifier (R2 on PS4) even when you arent in a position to specky.

Nope. I'm playing as a created player and also do not have the option.

 

[scaryness]

Recorded 83 tackles in a game and didn't get the 50 tackles achievement?

Yeah I think Freo16 is getting confused between a normal career mode and a Be a Pro career mode.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Richo pronounces Dan Houston as 'Howston'. Carn. Surely even if you've never heard of Dan Houston the footballer, you would've at least heard of Houston the place?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I wonder if those easy misses from the goalsquare are hardcoded misses to counter the 26.1. 157 type scorelines from previous games.

 

[Buddy Love#23]

Yeah I think Freo16 is getting confused between a normal career mode and a Be a Pro career mode.

Nope. I played an entire season of TAC Cup in Be a Pro and every game I could make interchanges myself. Every time my player would get subbed for "fatigue" I'd immediately sub him back on.

Well you seem to be the only one.

Clearly not, seeing as somebody else in this thread is able to do it too.

 

[NinjaSwan]

Played quite a lot of games online today, got a few blowout wins as well as losses, enjoying it so far.

One thing that is annoying me though is that when your ruckman gets tired, it's always the CHB who is thrown into the ruck instead of a forward or bench player.
