AFL Game Part 3

[BigAntStudios]

theres no tribunal but can players be suspended in (whatever mode may be in the game)? like just randomly like afl 2007 it says reported after you do a completely legit tackle?

Nope, I thought that sucked!

Which I guess answered the question about whether we played the previous games - played them to death!

 

[Baz_hawk]

Question regarding smothers, are they in the game? And please tell me they aren't as common as in AFL 07

 

[Qwinton]

Is there a rough area of when the game will come out eg Before Xmas, next year?? Or is this another tounge bitting moment??

Will we be able to perform kicks along the ground that spin/bounce from right to left or left to right?

 

[Beloved]

I'm a bit iffy about there being no tribunal but I guess that goes in the list of things to be developed.

 

[Big Saverio]

I have read a fair chunk of this stuff so I'm pretty sure this hasn't been asked yet. Pretty average question anyway, but will gloves and other accessories be in the game for players like Lynch, Jack Anthony, Schulz etc who wear them in real life?

Also, can you say how often players get injured in this game? Cheers Ross.

 

[dajesmac]

Sorry, is there absolutely no suspension in the game?

It's not a big deal but long term I'd like to see it added to the series for added realism.

Glad to see you will be looking into the sock issue

Cheers.

I propose the thread title gets renamed to be "AFL Game Part 3 - No release date Q's" or something to stop the constant release date questions from new people seeing this thread. Becoming repetitive as anything and clearly if there was a date it would be somewhere for everyone to see.

Also does the no tribunral mean zero reports? At least it'll mean Cotchin won't be suspended for bumping someone in the back. Seeing that 07's was a half baked implementation it's definitely something that I wouldn't mind seeing implemented properly with a fully thought out system in a few years.

 

[smiths]

lol its like no one cares about the game, all they want is socks to be correct

Definitely. Without correct socks the game would be substandard

Probably a good idea.

Yeah, but then you're using tape every week and having to chuck it out, the gloves last for a while. The recommendation came from someone who played AFL so I thought it was worth trying and it does work. Not that I play footy anymore, but it did.

Good point, who was the AFL player and why don't you play footy anymore?

For sure

It's a back of box headline - authentic, from the head to down to the socks lol...

There won't be much time spent on socks, I can assure you

Buuut, they will be correct ?

Ross, the rear shot of nic definately looks like a lead pose can you confirm that the players will be showing for leads and playing these kinds of animations?

It seems the tight team of character creators are doing an amazing job.

Tom Roach and his dad Michael as well.

I don't play because I've not really found myself a team. I'm 21 now and have a few options but I always loved playing footy with mates and don't really want to join a team where I know nobody. Definitely have the want to play, I loved playing footy (played over 100 games for my junior side), but haven't got the feelers out for a new team to play with really since leavin junior's (was going to play with a Prahran side nearly two years ago but the training ground was impossibly hard to get to without a car so I had to give it up).

Sweet, why don't you play with your junior team? Surely they must have a Senior Side or wherever your mates play? Cmon HBK get back on the park, then you can realistically play yourself in the game!

Tribunal does not bother me one bit, it was annoying in the last series of games when players kept getting stupid reports. Hopefully in season modes there are various injuries and also the need to "rest" players

He's turning his head to the ball carrier and pointing to the lead - they have done a great job. (If I say so myself... both the AI programmers and Character guys.)

 

[foxy_dal]

Don't think its been asked - is the ruck realistic? I seem to recall winning every tap and Hayes could beat Sandilands for the tap.

Also I think goal kicking was already mentioned earlier in regards to teams being incredibly accurate from set shots. Are you confident whatever system you have in place for set shots is realistic?

I think they do or did (weren't the biggest club, we didn't have a Colts side until the year I was ready to play Colts and we had a big enough team to fit the grade). Last time I checked there were a few people I knew there. Will definitely make some inquiries into playing next year.

Just some clarification, in the FAQ it states:

"3rd Person

No Third person tried it and it was unplayable."

So what exactly does that mean? It'll be first person?

EDIT: I'm just confused about the Nic Nat screen.

I think in the Q&A it is mention that players WILL indeed hit up/honour leads.

That probably say 1st person - sorry, probably my error
