AFL LIVE 2011 - 360, PS3 & PC - Part 12 - READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING

Would like to know how smoothly the game runs, as in, when your running down the field with the ball and press the handball button, if you quickly tap it then will it quickly give a short handpass away or will it take an AGE for the ball to leave the player's hand like in AFL 2007? Same goes for kicks.

Button input and reaction is super quick. It's definitely 'push button' *player does action instantly* stuff. No button lag.

if u hold handball button, do the players present the ball then only punch it when u release the button? ie a dummy? or can you press a kick option when theyre holding the ball out to dummy hand / quick kick?

 

[Alan_Didak_4]

hey HBK, how does marking work? Are there modifiers to take potential over the head marks or things like that?

No idea, didn't test that one out.

I won't go in depth on this as I reckon Ross would want this part to be found out when it comes out. But marking is A LOT better than previous versions (basically feels like you are actually enforcing the mark rather than a crap shoot). There is no 'speccy button' either, that relies on things like positioning, timing, speed into the mark, etc.

 

[Alan_Didak_4]

Sounds much better, thanks man!

Quite a relief ha, cheers mate.

Also nice to see your a fellow Richmond supporter, good lad

Sorry if this has been covered (if so, please direct me to where to look) but how much do we know about 'off-season' options such as the draft and trading?

 

[grrofunger]

theres a full fantasy draft which you can do pick by pick or just randomise round by round and there is a complex trading system based on salary and attribute points

 

[Alan_Didak_4]

There is no draft and player trading can be done outside of season mode and during it I believe.

 

[mickeyblueeyes37]

fantasy draft be fun

 

[illnino]

Yep, there is options FOR that to happen.

Wow, that's some crazy attention to detail. What on earth would that option be called? A very good addition for ppl who like to play on the same team.

Ross, will this option be changeable in online multiplayer or just offline? I'm guessing it will be a set option online, if so, what is it set to?

Question for my fellow gamers (and Ross, from a gaming perspective):

When the game is released, what team, or free agency, is Brendan Fevola heading to? I think I'm gonna put him on Essendon or Melbourne, since they could use a big forward to bag the goals.

If this is true... Awesome!

 

[grrofunger]

no one reads for themselves anymore do they? - everyone wants things spoon fed to them

 

[Peck]

The only things i'd heard were that we could do trades ourselves by moving players between lists. Nothing about a fantasy draft?

 

[KevJen5]

Yeah. But if I recall correctly Ross said he thought it was at Fifa standard. Something like that.

ross said it was the same as tiger woods

 

[grrofunger]

thats cos its a fantasy

 

[KevJen5]

[ralphysaints35]

Im going to create the Brisbane Lions premiership squad I believe.

What a team

I actually think it would be a good idea (in future iterations) to have these types of teams in the unlockables section. Then you could pit the Lions of 01-02-03 up against Collingwood of 2010 for instance. Ai vs Ai. Would be pretty cool to watch, it's about as close as you'll ever get to seeing two great teams of different decades face off.

I've been planning on making a Essendon 2000 squad. My memory of the players isn't too good though so I'll probably have trouble with the stats.

 

[smrdello]

Yep, there is options FOR that to happen.

Awesome news and thanks for answering. That is my pet hate in nba2k11.
