AFL Live 2

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Looks really good for low budget. AFL Live is never going to reach NBA 2K14, because it doesn't sell that well compared to those big triple A sport titles.

Career mode and Manger mode have already sold it for me. Where's the Fry from Futurama money meme when I need it!?
 
The graphics haven't changed enough for me. Hopefully these shots are from a test engine and not final copy. Weird that Coll vs crows is at Geelong but again. Test engine. Great to see that tex walker has a mullet going on as well. Hopefully this stays in the game though. Need to have the team run our with the theme song playing. Maybe even add a video at the end of each game of the team singing the song. Wouldn't be hard to do and just ads a little bit to the game. Would love to be able to look through stats whilst the team shakes hands with the other team and even hands out footysback to the crowd. Celebrations need to be better. A little fist pump when you hit the lead with 1 min to go is just bad. Crown need to be louder in close games. Need to get louder as game is hanging in the balance. It's just small things which I know would be easily implemented. A bit more cinematic would be cool. Such as NBA 2k when you see players walking into the stadium and players getting warmed up. Premiership celebrations are just awful. C'mon guys. We need more that just a few players running through the centre of the ground then a really quick team photo.

That's not the problem, we know that. The problem is that AFL Live 2 isn't going to reach AFL Live 1.

The game looks ok. I have always been a sucker when it comes to AFL games so i'll buy it.
Just been looking at some of the images released, and i do like bits and pieces but some others need to be redone. Michael Hurley has black hair instead of blonde, Nathan Brown kicking on his right foot and a good crowd for Collingwood & Adelaide at Simmonds Stadium?

However the model of Judd looks good, Tex Walker's mullett is a good addition and Dean Brogan looks decent from behind (and not in a sexual way) haha

Damn lads alot of negative posts on here regarding AFL Live 2....

I for one am just grateful we are getting another AFL release.

Thought I'd list the highlights of what I'm looking forward to in AFL2:

- A much more in depth game (We were promised AFL2 would have more stuff to do) and it looks as though they have delivered with the expanded career modes. VFL and TAC = Awesome!

- People are saying that the graphics are the same etc, I look at the player pics brought up and it looks as if in AFL2 the players bodies and positions are tweaked so it looks like a contest. Check the graphic of someone taking a hanger the oppositions hands are tangled in the players legs whereas the first game the oppositions hands just dangle there. Only a minor thing but a step in the right direction.

- Players look a little more realistic. Minson looks good as does Tex Walker.

People have got to remember these guys don't have the big budgets like other franchises have, the fact we have another release just shows that they are commited and people are buying the game. Keep it coming!!!
 
Some things grab me in that screen shot and some things don't. Obvious one is the umpire looking in the completely wrong direction and plus Stevie Johnson doesn't have dark black hair. However Paul Chapman looks awesome and the stadium looks spot on.

Also good to see the player next to chapman is clearly Josh Kennedy, impressed with that
 
Hopefully it is actually challenging, rewarding and fun to play against the AI.

I have very, very little hope though. And I won't even dream that multiplayer will be good.

I think a lot of people are just disappointed Big Ant didn't get an opportunity to do this one (or chose not to), even on a small budget they got the game mechanics better than any attempt before them and it would have been great to see what they could have done given a chance to build on and extend their first effort.

Still that didn't happen and tbh the screenshots look plenty pretty enough for me, once I start hearing what people are saying after playing the game I'll start worrying about if I'll buy it or not.
 
My favourite thing about these screen shots is that the player positioning looks a lot more realistic on the map at the bottom. AFL Live just had everyone in their starting positions for the whole game. Hopefully the player gets control over how they want it.
I'm getting the feeling that it's going to be kind of an AFL Live remake using the AFL Wii engine but obviously there's not a huge amount to base that on.
As for the graphics I'd say they're better than AFL Live's graphics, the jumpers have some texture to them and there's more detail in the players. Some of the uniform details are wrong but nothing too major.

Overall, I'm a bit more excited for the game after seeing these but I'm still assuming AFL Live will be better.
 
ALSO there better be an option to play a loose man in defence. Vital.

The game plan structure needs to be improved a lot from AFL Live. Need to be able to have a ruck resting forward who takes forward ruck contests. AI's should also be smart enough to match up on a 3rd tall forward accordingly.

Stadium looks good, not a fan of how a few players and even the umpire aren't even watching the play though. Hopefully it's just bad timing with the screenshot

So you don't want it realistic?
