well if that's updated with the questions and answers then that's a good thing...maybe the regular posters if this thread can simply post a link to that (or mention it) if anyone asks a repeat question, just as you've done now.

That way you wont discourage people to ask what may be a brilliant question for fear of a card.

Yeah - I don't think I'll be going there

You walk back on the mark and take a deliberate run/walk in at the man on the mark, is that what you mean? (There are separate controls for kicking at goal in general play.)

Yeah, thats what I meant, cheers.

 

[Super Hans]

Can we card people who re-ask questions

Questions won't Be re-asked if we get answers when they are asked first up, mate.

Cross, they don't want to give away everything on a thread, so if they don't get answered, just move on and ask a different question.

Ok fair call, but threatening people will cards is a bit over the top, where all here because we want info on what I'm sure will be a great game.

I have a few questions for BigAntStudios.

Will we be able to change the camera in the game? Is the default camera similar to FIFA 10?
Are the graphics comparable to FIFA 10 and NBA 2K10?
Does each team have a rating/score similar to FIFA 10?
Will there be the addition of other leagues in the game? Such as the VFL etc...
Will there be the ability through DLC to update team lists?

I'm really excited for the release of this game. The only sports games I really play are FIFA and NBA. It will be good to have a next gen footy game. We shouls all get behind this game and buy it. I mean I'm sure the funding for development is a lot less than a lot of titles made overseas. If the game sells well I'm sure there would probably be future installments with improvements made. I think it will be a success. It will probably even sell well outside of Australia due to the amount of people that love trophies/achievements.

No offence to you and BigAnt, but this game won't even compare to a game like FIFA or NBA 2K, the budgets and amount of people working on the game is amazing, and it was said in an interview that about 100 people where working on the AFL Game at one point, I doubt that the graphics will be like FIFA either, although the screenshots tell otherwise for now.

Don't expect something like FIFA, as these guys are just starting out making sports video games, the game will be fun, but don't expect a game like FIFA

I'll answer what I can, don't take it as rudeness if I don't answer a particular question, it just means I can't.

Nobody is getting carded for asking a question. I would hope people are reading the sticky have been trying to keep it up to date.

I'm starting to get really excited about this game, it better come out this year

Also to all the guys saying 2011 lists etc. etc. It is really easy to use DLC and just give an update like FIFA or NBA do all the time, the lists won't be old like the PS2 games I imagine.

Am I the only one that doesn't have the online stuff making all this DLC useless?

Not too fussed about it though as I was hoping for 2010 lists so I can play as Goodwin, McLeod, Edwards, Burton and any other crow that decides to retire this year.

You're not the only one but there are a fair few, you should probably get onto it though, alot easier.

Also (I THINK) you can download it on the internet, put it on a USB, and then put it in the PS3, not sure about that though.

Chances of this game coming out this year are 0-5% tops

Rugby League Live got announced about 2 months back for a September release. Surely the developer would want to bring the game out during, or just before an AFL season.

We would have heard much more (had an official presser) by now. The game will need to be hyped up and have enough time to garner some strong presells for launch

Reckon they'll spend the summer tweaking the game and it will be out in time for season kick off next year. Once Rugby is released, they will be able to put 95% of their time into AFL. The other 5% being for patching Rygby and the what not

Woeking in retail, we would have info on this game had it been coming this year. We haven't (and neither has anyone outside of this thread and the developers) heard jack about it. So don't get too hopeful of a 2010 release

I say let them have the summer to tweak and polish

BTW, BigAnt, you better have a demo up and running at our Games Show in October!

Very true, good post, I guess if it came out next year it would be for the better.

 

[Tipster101]

After seeing the dane swan arm screenshot, as a brisbane supporter would love to see how Trav Johnstones beard looks lol.

 

[smiths]

If the game came out even early next year. It should be up to date with team lists including GC as teams are generally finalised by the end of the year.

Then release a new version of the game yearly around March right before the season kicks off - going into winter (more time spent at home), and include GWS in the next game.

Game will be easy to release yearly as most of the basics have been set, each game should look to improve on the last in a few areas though... better gameplay, updated rosters etc.

They are working on more than just those 2 games remember. There's that Truth or Lies one that will get worked on post Rugby release you'd expect. But I get what you mean.

It's sort of a catch 22 really as to when to release it, especially with the new Gold Coast side coming in next year. On one hand the game could be just about done and ready for a release to capitalise on the finals series. But then you're almost instantly going to have an out of date roster of players who've either retired or been delisted or traded and then there's a whole new bunch of 40 players in a brand new team.

Then on the other hand EVERYONE WANTS IT NOW!!!

What I would personally like to see and think is the ideal situation, is that depending on how far along the game is currently, bring out a demo around finals time to get people excited about the game but also allow for people to test how the game plays and find any issues with it and then report back to BigAnt about it and in the off-season they can fix any gameplay issues that people have or have found.

But that would be my ideal world.

 

[HSSB]

If the game is ready bring it out September, if it's 95% ready bring it out next year to make it 110%

 

[DamianBis]

I reckon bring it out september and then they've got 18 months to get it right for the 2012 game. basically forget about a 2011 game.

But whatever we say/speculate doesn't matter because they already will have their timelines

 

[dynamite_kid]

I hope they bring it out at the start of the season.

AFL 2005 was released on GF day and throughout the off-season my interest waivered.

 

[Tipster101]

I hope it is released this year as i am so eager to play it! next year is too long

We are working on many games here, it is up to the individual publisher to dictate release dates, not us. Truth or Lies which we are doing for THQ, as an example, had no prior press until E3. World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, also with THQ, had press/announcements more than a year before it came out.

Not going to say anything about the release date, but the NRL announcement is different to the AFL as it was held back due to there being a game in the market. Given that you work at EB, you would probably be aware of the Wii Rugby game released this year and how a "next-gen" announcement would have effected its sales

 

[BigAntStudios]

I have no problem reading the same question more than once, save that it makes the thread a little noisy for others and I have the hope that it doesn't make me look more like an ass for not answering.

There are no screenshots other than the snippets here. This is the only place you will find anything at the moment.

 

[HSSB]

Will the scores in the season mode and stuff be realistic? I used to play AFL 07 on hard and used to win by 100 points every single game, wasn't very fun.
