But...why? I can understand console and PC, but why both consoles?
More money than brains mostly!!

I like the best of both worlds have a lot of friends with one console and not the other. Having it on both systems allows me to play with everyone.

Granted I've not actually done this for some time (eg: last Fifa I purchased 3 times was Fifa 12, last NBA 2K was 2k13 etc). If the 'single player' experience is worth it I'll start off on one system but then end up buying it again on others (over the years I have collected the GTA games on multiple platforms, Arkham games etc etc).

Is it realistic to assume that by later this afternoon the PSN/XBL Stores should have the game available to pre-order online? Given we're a week out, it seems like uploading it by next Wednesday/Thursday could spurn some late sales?

It's definitely not his nuts. It is however part of the cushion he is sitting on... if you have a look to the left of screen you can see a second pillow with the same pattern..
We really need this game to come out, its been a long journey from our first bit of news til this point, we've analysed every bit of information including mummy's nuts now.

From what I saw, it looks like AFL Live 1 and 2 with a few extra features. It's gonna be interesting checking out their AI and ball movement. I want to be able to move as quick and in any direction as I want, like in Live 1.

This game just has to be average for it to be a win in my books. If the foundation is there, then we have forever to continually update it.

Question for anyone living overseas. Obviously it's going to be almost impossible to find this game in the stores outside Aus. Does the PS Store online have all games available? Or is it region locked?

Looks good. Better than what I was expecting? Yeah, I think so.

As for the man on man stuff and lack of congestion and players staying in their positions, I honestly do think that changing your team tactics will have an impact on these things. I really hope so anyway.

That kick to Jeremy Cameron inside forward 50 lacked way too many players around from both teams IMO. The player who kicked it to him had gone back on his mark so it would have been nice to see players from the midfield streaming past into the 50.

I'm hoping you can at least spoil someone attempting to mark the ball.

Been confirmed you will be able to purchase it on the PS store from overseas.

Watching the footage again, hoping that whoever was controlling the white GWS is just useless at defending. Saw a few occasions where a spoil or even a mark attempt would be necessary but the defender just stood there.

Q Hi, I've noticed as I have been playing my way through the fan hub that there is no potential stat for players. How will player growth work throughout seasons? And will some players grow more than others? Thanks

Hey Paul, the chance to improve attributes comes with levelling up, and the better a player performs, the faster they will level up. If you are playing as a Coach, you will be able to choose which areas you want players to improve in. As a Pro, you will just get to choose your own improvements.

Also, looked like the wind had little effect when goal kicking, although we did only see a couple of set shots. Really hope its MUCH harder to kick goals than all previous AFL games. They were far too easy.
I'd say in that video they were playing on the easiest difficulty. I doubt it'll be that simple on the hardest difficulty (which I'm sure most of us will end up playing on).

Arent they playing against each other though? Does a difficulty setting come into it in that case? Don't you just pick the difficulty level if you're playing against the AI?

Also, those camera flashes during set shots are fairly dumb.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense in game or real life either.

In a night game, the ground is fairly well lit, makes no sense for flash to be used.

You can see on the radar at the bottom (I think the play is currently on the left) that players seem to stick closely to their positions. You can see the half forwards and deep forwards on the right, i.e. away from the action, are closely in formation. I understand that you can't have everyone around the ball like in real matches as it would be too slow and congested, but I hope the game has some fluidity in player positions, and isn't just an elaborate kick to kick with pairs of players.
I remember about 25 pages back the tactics files were leaked and it also showed tactics menus. The default tactics had players stay in their position but moving the defenders tactics had an option of letting players in the defensive line push up the ground. The players playing it in the video would have just had it on the default balanced option.
