AFL Game Part 3

[Michaels]

A few people have asked.

Smother, baulk, fend, shepherd, amongst other things.

Cheers thanks heaps for that. That is seriously impressive stuff. Based on what you have been able to tell us, im almost certain it has passed everyones expectations.

I dont like to get ahead of my self but this game sounds promising. You guys deserve a lot of credit for reaching out to the public for ideads/feedback etc.

There are still probably are couple of features that need to be implemented and some things that need to be tweaked

Can you give out any details on when BigAntStudios will release information about the game on there website, and even possibly a release date?

Thankyou.

We will keep polishing and tweaking until we're told to stop.

At the moment the *only* place you will find info is here - I like the interaction and feedback we are getting, it is making the game better and validating some of the decisions made.

Speckies. Will they look realistic, and will there be different types? One thing that shit me in the old games is that I could never take a specky an the other team would take 3 or 4 a game. The opposition player would also take the specky magically on air and the ball would gravitate into their hands.

Hope it's not the case in this.

 

[Brandon1021]

Thanks champ.
Just hope the game comes out within a month or two! Really looking forward to it.

Is there a training mode or a menu similar to FIFA where you can just take shots on goal to practice?

 

[Maxwell#27]

I Understand if i dont get a reply but was wondering if players are able to really launch at the footy. Not so much a speccy but just a really strong pack mark. Cheers, lovin the info

 

[BigAntStudios]

There is training - unlike FIFA at this time it isn't while loading, it is a separate menu item.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Is the draft going to be realistic in terms of names/attributes? I just came across a Llane Didak in AFL 07

Played through 5 seasons of AFL 2006 over the last two nights after work, ended up with a team consisting of 9 Abletts (Gary, Nathan & Luke + 6 from the draft.), 5 Monfries' (Angus + 4 from the Draft), 5 Lonie's (Nathan & Ryan + 3 from the draft & 5 Selwood's (Adam & Troy + 3 from the Draft). Those are just the cases where I ended up with 5 or more of the same unique surname on my list, had quite a few cases of 2 or 3 random players sharing current players surnames also.

As you can see, I was very, very bored and went with the Port recruiting frame of mind haha.

Didn't turn out too well though, as all draftees in the old AFL games were terrible, majority of my players were rated about 50/100.

I'm wondering when we will see the next little snippet from the game?

I held R1, R2, L1, L2 when the ball is high in the air and your at the back to specky. Also asking this question ^^ Are there speckies?

 

[DEAN0]

Wow, so much stuff in this game, this is awesome.
Can't bloody wait for a press release.

Also can we expect a team management for the Exhibition/Play Now matches?

Will the regular Play now matches have full customisation over time of day, venue, match lineups, weather effects, quarter length etc. Also can regular players be edited in the player editor?

Will you see players get injured and hobble off with the trainers?

Will you believe its not Butter?

There will be spectacular marks - and they will be posted to facebook (from PS3).

Apart from the obvious TJ snippet, I will make the next snippet a marking contest.

 

[Brandon1021]

If you can't answer this than that is fine..

With create-a-team, does that mean you'll be able to design your own gurnsey, colours, etc?

Regular play will have all the features you mention (weather being rain/shine)

Regular players cannot be edited, sorry.

 

[mobitout]

wow cheers Ross for all this info you're distributing

To save you trouble maybe you should make a marking contest with TJ in it and upload that

Yes with Brett Ebert taking a mark over him

 

[dajesmac]

You can create your own team, own players, and own comp. That's all the detail I can give right now btw - saves follow up posts )

Absolute Jizz Very nice work.

I wonder how that would work though, whether you can use them in season mode and if so, whether you'd have to replace one of the 16 teams to have them in (if so, goodbye Fremantle! ) Or alternatively if one of the comps you can create is a 17 or 18 team league.

Either way I'm excited to find out as I presume you can't answer that. Thanks Ross

 

[Eth]

So when it comes to creating leagues can you import other teams and create some of your own? For example, a league of say my mates, Melbourne, Essendon and Collingwood.

And then how do the fixtures work? Do you have preset fixtures for a 5 team league? (for example)

TJ snippet?

Have I missed something?

 

[lynchy4610]

Drafting players - will it be a list of random generated names?

Ross said that it would be the next screenie up
