surely it would come during the steam summer sale now?

When is the summer sale? I was thinking it could be 3-4 weeks until the game comes out.
 
The patch looks like it will solve pretty much all of my issues with the game. I just hope I don't have to start from scratch.

My only issue is having to press a button to not take the advantage. Seems weird.
 
I just hope they don't OVER fix the game - for example, sure fix the accuracy for lower difficulties...... but it might go from one extreme to the other ALWAYS miss to NEVER miss. Same with the holding the ball calls, yes it's annoying being caught holding the ball on our side........ I'd like the occasional tackle I make to be holding the ball...... but not EVERY tackle (I enjoy moving on to the next contest, running on to the now loose ball etc).
 
I'm just happy with the new difficulties. Hopefully Very Hard isn't too much of a step down from Legend.

You can't deny that they're listening to our feedback. Really pleased with the patch.

really???

i think what it means is that different people might be looking for a very narrow angle on what an AFL game should be like and good luck to the gaming company that can please everyone..

i've been playing it a fair bit and i kinda like it now, though there are some very annoying bugs and things that need improving and commentary errors, there are also some quite impressive features considering the depth of AFL as a game and the amount of moves that can be programmed into animations.

by the way i came into Evolution after being a one-eyed AFL Live 1 fanatic and complete skeptic of this new game. They seem to have learnt a lot from analysing Live 1 and added some of their own cool new features that i enjoy, so it feels a bit like AFL Live 1 at times and at other times it feels new and then in the forward line running to goal it feels like AFL Live 2, but it's still enjoyable. I see a lot of potential, but i think a lot of money has to go into it for it to reach very high standards of sports gaming and whoever is responsible for investing in the game, i hope they realise that future investment is very important.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game and it's a massive improvement on Live 2
However things like career mode is too similar to live 2 when it should have been improved on upon release. This patch coming out will fix a lot of those things but that's just my opinion

Exactly my thoughts. The game was fine and only the major fixes were needed. I hope they haven't over killed it to the extent we see the opposition kick only 2 behinds for the game and 20 goals. I like the fact that they're changing the advantage rule and holding/throwing the ball rules. Advantage was always the one though, having to lock onto the player running towards the ball when the advantage was called to have them all of a sudden pull back and run away from the ball just so the opposition would pick up the ball to have the advantage taken and then tackle them.

promising stuff, but I didn't see anything about the camera being zoomed further out on kick-ins, which is my no.1 major gripe

Mate if that's been your biggest grip then you're doing well.

Getting ****ing sick of waiting for Steam
 
That is a lot to look forward too
My two major gripes were AI inaccuracy and no interchanges, so I'm really interested to see what they did to that
Also 7.5 minute quarters sounds perfect for me

My two biggest gripes (having held off on career mode etc until patches) were defenders coming off their man even when tactics were set to defensive leading to easy chip-over-the-top goals, and the broken advantage rule. They're both being fixed so I'm rapt.

Third biggest gripe would be those unstoppable not-even-15m marks the AI does all the time. I don't recall seeing that being fixed in the patch notes unfortunately.

Ah, you're right. I re-read the notes. Brilliant!

They're also making the marking circles blue to indicate optimum timing to press the mark button. I mentioned that here as something they could do and also messaged Wicked Witch directly with the suggestion. I'm sure others did too but it's made me smile that they thought it was a good idea too :)
 
Was talking to a mate at work saying that they should of released a patch by now cause it's one month after release go home and see the facebook post pumped for Friday perfect timing with the long weekend coming up
