AFL Evolution - Launch thread

[edgie]

Ai kicking at goal is starting to piss me off massively now. Match objective 15 goal assists, how about these campaigners stop missing every chance I give them. I'd have 5 behind assists this half alone. What a complete joke.

Play Ports. For some reason Westhoff can't miss. If only that was life accurate...

Played a game last night, think it was my fourth one in playing for Calder Cannons and after the final siren the game proceeded to play out another 3 quarters.... did they even test this game?

 

[Grimoz]

I knew Tex was good but I didn't know he was 10 goals from 9 disposals good.

Soccer goals are'nt classed as a possession are they?

You have a suspension pending. For some reason that breaks the game.

Yeah had the same problem, got reported and preceded to play out 3 more quarters after the game had finished, needless to say i was suspended for 2 weeks but that wasnt the main problem, I apparently had a concussion and back injury that were both listed as 11 week injuries even though i finished the game completely healthy...WTF bug city!!!!

Its kicking the ball?

Still dont believe its classed as a possession as your not in "possession" of the ball but happy to be corrected if im wrong.

Not sure, though I didn't kick any soccer goals in that match. After 9 disposals he had 9 goals. The last goal came with a kick after the siren though, maybe a bug that doesn't record that kick as a stat even though it records the goal.

I don't believe they count in real life stats.

Had 2 situations recently where the Ai got a free kick, were paid the advantage but were tackled almost straight away so the umpire brought it back to the free kick (would be nice if they did the same for non Ai players)

Props for the recreation of Smith's miss.

Turned the commentary off in my very first game and never switched it back on. I repeat key commentary phrases while playing and doing key moments. Good times!! (probably wouldn't want to play against me online for this reason as I do have a microphone!!).

 

[Monfries7]

Even if the crowd actually cheered when the home team scored instead of an audible sigh it would make the game sound a whole lot better

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

Everyone on facebook ranting about how they can get quality players for peanuts. I just tried to trade in Daniel Rioli, and Richmond wouldn't budge for anything lower than my first pick and James Sicily. Tried to get Shaun Edwards from Sydney, and they wouldn't budge for anything lesser than O'Rourke and a second round pick, or O'Brien and a 3rd round pick. How the hell are people getting stars so easily?

I would say trading depends on the coach difficulty option. If you have your coach difficulty on medium then its going to be more realistic. I would say those facebook guys are on easy difficulty.

No your 100% correct. A possession is different to a disposal where a possession is anytime you have the ball in your hands whereas a disposal is anytime you kick or handball legally. If you possess the ball but get tackled this counts as a possession but not a disposal and vice versa, if you kick the ball without possessing it, it counts as a disposal but not a possession. Lets just say I know a thing or two about Champion Data.

First real chance I've had to put a few hours into the game today.
I am slowly getting the hang of marking and goal kicking I have become better at.

I'd feel more comfortable about my role in the game if the marking and goal kicking for example, were a little like the original NBA Live EA free throw crosshairs meter, where it was fast or slow depending on the skill of the player. For me, it all feels really random.

No Coleman Medal table to look at, stats lists etc. Much like DBC '17 at release.

AI goal-kicking is a complete mess though.

Just want to chuck my 2 pennies in, Firstly.. Umpiring.. the umpiring is terrible!, so i did a little test..
me: 37 tackles (on medium), 0 HTB
Opposition: 45 tackles, 32 HTB
This is both broken and ****ing annoying!!
Secondly.. Player switching.. for me, when u switch player it needs to switch to the nearest player to the footy instead of a random player 50+ meters away!
These imo are core gameplay issues and need a fix, it would definitely improve the game!

Aside from these issues(and a few other glaring bugs) the game is generally good, I've played other afl games so wasn't expecting fifa or 2k quality.. in fact all things considered WW have done a pretty good job..
Just hope they patch crucial things so I can say they done a great job!

At the moment... 7/10

Man I thought I was imagining this. Every time I play an offline game though I seem to get pinged an awful lot! My two weirdest umpiring decisions would be:

> CPU took two bounces and I tackled him. No prior opportunity.
> Playing online and it's Rance vs Tex Walker one out in the goalsquare. Tex has front position but Rance reaches over the top and thumps the ball through for a behind. Deliberate rushed behind. Adelaide goal. I lose by 3 points...

The other thing I'm finding is a can't defend someone who punches the ball straight forward from the ruck. No matter who has front position (it's often me) or what buttons I push (or if I don't push any) the ball magnetises to their CHF who ran into the square. They do a spin move and waltz into the attacking 50.

I'm finally started to get the hang of marking!!

Wish I could say the same take frontal position or move towards ball to watch it sailing pass lol

 

[Oraz]

Should i buy this game?
i've spent so much money this week
been to the brothel twice

Wouldn't want to come up against you in SuperCoach by the sounds of it

I'm finding it depends totally on my opponents skill. I'm decent at marking so if I come up against someone shit I'll make everything. If my opponent is as good as me or better I win nothing!
