Kicked a lazy 7 in my second Box Hill Hawks pro game (playing as a midfielder).

They did a shocking job with Ryan Burton's likeness - all I can see when he's running around, kicking goals is this:

I upgraded my endurance and full and got benched after 2 contests 3 games in a row maybe i need to find a book to read while benched lol

just dont sprint too much. they want you to stay in your position which gets boring. i play as a chf so try and play like nroo work up the wings and give my team an option and go back to fill up a hole down back then work back forward. usually end up having like mid 20's disposals and kicking 5snags

Same possi as i was playing got benched for kicking a torpedo must have really taken it out of me lol

hardest match objective is giving off goal assists ****ing ai torps it from the goal square and misses

maybe the consistency stat plays apart in it. not sure. but in my first season id kick 2 goals have 4 touches and be benched for 2qtrs that shit got boring so just simmed the game

If I get all the match objectives early I run myself out so then I get benched and end the game by sim.

I did that with Lindsay Thomas. Was running into an open goal, bombed a torp straight into the post

It was at that moment I realised how realistic this game is.

 

[Quivorir]

My favourite finish yet. A real nail biter including a gigantic Lindsay Thomas miss.

Edit: huh. Apparently I had zero effective disposals in this game.

I was Cyril, ran along the wing, kicked just outside 50 and it bounced once outside of the goal square, but it managed to bounce and trickle over for a goal , one of my favourite plays to pull off.

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

If you do buy it, get it at EB so you have the option to return it in 7 days. If you have a mate that's got it, play the game first before buying it, personally as someone who has the game, it's a pretty average game, moments of fun no doubt about that, but a lot of completely utter shit moments, game should never of been released, simple as that. Save your money, wouldn't recommend until a patch happens.

Interesting sidenote: Not only can you play men vs women, you can actually recruit women to men's teams. I'm glad they did it this way, much better than FIFA's total separation.

Someone should do a comparison to a Fifa game..

i have a cold so can't be bothered at the moment..

It would not be too kind on AFL

I think you'd be surprised...

maybe once the patch rolls around, then it might make sense.

 

[Schulzenfest]

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned but that I find incredibly annoying, if you take a mark, click play on to get an extra half a step of momentum and then handball to a running player, if the guy manning the mark gets a finger on you you'll get called for holding the ball every single time, even though you've gotten a clean handball away. Wicked Witches, please patch. It's hard enough to get any run going on this game without wrongly penalising one of the only ways to do it.

 

[Xtreme]

Is 155 the max attribute point allocation you an earn in a pro match ?

 

[SugarShane]

Good point. Has anyone been able to generate any run and carry on medium or higher? Even with blokes like Charlie Cameron I can get maybe one bounce in if I'm super lucky before being run down by their slower players. Absolutely no chance of being able to go on a 3-4 bounce run.

 

[Mootsy]

isn't there a sprinting option?

 

[SugarShane]

isn't there a sprinting option?

Yup, and it chews up my entire stamina in about 3 seconds.

 

[Xtreme]

If I'm lucky I'll get 2-3 bounces but usually things are tighter than a wedgie and I handball or kick the second I take possession.

 

[Mootsy]

So the fix would be to increase stamina....

come on WW

It's more that the difference between ball carrier and chaser is too big. Seems like all sprinting does is make you as fast as the guy chasing you. I know it's possible they're sprinting too but if so, they must have infinite stamina.

Medium awesome game very realistic hard out the window just bomb it long and hope for the best lol
