At worst, probably a week. At best, maybe by Tuesday/Wednesday.

Where did you get this info from?

Yeah HBK, tell your staff to hurry up and get a move along with PSN already would ya?

Don't remember something exactly like this happening to XBL. It has been downed, but no data has been stolen during that time and there have been instances where hackers have been able to compromise accounts individually, but they weren't the same as the security breach Sony have experienced.

The point is that there's nothing that paying for the service of XBL offers in terms of security that wasn't offered on the PSN. If 'the party' that attacked Sony's PSN chose to attack XBL then you can bet the same situation would be happening.

It's an unfortunate situation due to a bunch of dipshits attacking what they shouldn't be and we've had to bore the brunt of it. Regardless of paying for the service, it would be the same.

Will do sir.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Anyone know whats going on here. I have two interchanges, and only two in the middle? Taken on my phone, sorry about the quality. Really strange, do not know if a player went missing or anything.

 

[Quivorir]

As much bias as hbk has he is 100% right. If they targeted xbox same thing would be happening. No need for console wars here though I wanna talk afl live

Hi Ross

I am loving the game and have had no issues with pauses or game errors - so congrats!

Baring any further delays with the Playstation network, how long does it take for MS / Sony to approve the patch and make it available for download?

Cheers

5 to 7 days once PSN is actually back up, it could take longer if PSN has a backlog of approvals, which is likely. The dev net is also still down so we cannot test.

Question for ross, or anyone else who knows. Are all the difficulty levels getting harder or is it just legend? Because i am having some very close games on legend, for me it's like the perfect level. So just wondering if veteran will become as hard as legend is now.

Just making the top difficulty harder, not touching the others.

Yeah this game is terribly bug ridden, I had about 10 injuries in my last game, no offence and I've mentioned this about something else before but how was it not noticed?

"No offence" but we have acknowledged there are too many injuries and that there is a fix in the patch, how could you not have noticed this? Further, why do you feel the need to repeat it.... this sort of comment is not helpful at all and adds Zero to the discussion.

We do have a cap on injuries but there is a bug where major injuries didn't make the count for some reason until you had a minor injury, so essentially if you were unlucky you could keep having major injuries one after the other (the first minor injury would stop the rot).

The service would go down. We don't know if people would have their details compromised.

It doesn't help that Sony took a week to alert the consumers to what had happened.

My whole "reserves" are injured except for 1 or 2. Means I don't really get to pick who plays. They must play.
It's disapointing but I'm glad there will be a fix. Will it fix it for seasons already underway? Or do you need to start a new competition?

 

[LegendakaRICHO]

OMG!! just played a epic match. rich vs geel round 18 or 19. a minute to go last qtr its 64 each. geelong kick it out of ther def to the center where dericxx vs bartel n jimmy takes a screamer and gets it forward chappy marks n kicks a behind to win by 1pt!!!....then game freezes!!! Ahh the excitement but frustrating at same time lol love the game ross!!!

Stupid PSN, slowing us all down

I did notice it Ross, it was just suprising it was there in the first place, I have read what is going to be in the patch, but I can't remember you saying that you are going to fix ruckman going into the midfield, I might have missed something but will it be fixed?

Anyone know whats going on here. I have two interchanges, and only two in the middle? Taken on my phone, sorry about the quality. Really strange, do not know if a player went missing or anything.

Pretty sure it has to do with the sub and when he comes on. Happens to me after I do the sub or sometimes it freezes instead/as well. Ross and his team are on the case I believe.

Had another 2 games freeze on me today. From what I've noticed, it has a lot to do with the sub (who I now sub on using the d-pad with no probs), but I'm noticing it might also have something to do with making interchanges (not with d-pad) during quarter time breaks or just before the center bounce at the start of a quarter or after a goal, especially when interchanging rucks.

Also, after doing any of these things, sometimes the game freezes when I skip the next replay.

So that's just some things I've noticed regarding the game freezing on the PS3 anyway, hope that might help.

 

[JADED]

Sub had no effect on my game. Auto & manually interchanged and all ok.
Never went from sub to bench though. Always subbed into the game.

 

[RickSanchez]

Started playing legend extreme 20 min quarters tonight

Half time the score was 239 to 40 in my favour with Pav bagging 9.
The patch is making it harder so it'll be good and I guess i'll wait for it then, no point churning out 400 point wins. Might just do it to get the 40 possie achievement I guess.

 

[Thefeath18]

If i have already started a season do i have to start a new on for the patch to be implemented into it?

Unfortunately you won't get your injured players back with the patch. If you started a new season you would have less injuries. Sorry

If you simulate the AI first it shouldn't crash - or was this another issue?

We believe that the majority of issues surround subs and/or interchanges plus certain injuries. Most people that use only auto-interchange seem to have very few crashes. We have made code changes to address these issues.

No you can continue on with previously saved seasons.

 

[BigAntStudios]

Tired of playing people who have bad connections, goes all shit n then they have kicked goals. It isnt my connection because i play online games all the time and never had this problem. I get to a position when im catching up, then i get to ruck and hear the commentators day blah blah is lining up and GOALLLLEEEDD.. im like OH BOY

There's plenty of reasons for this to happen and there is unfortunately little we can do. If people have fine connections and then all of a sudden it lags then it is likely they are on a lan and someone else is taking the bandwidth.

Thanks for the image, the guys in QA here are looking at it. We think we may already have stopped this happening with the exisiting patch with relation to other fixes for injuries and interchange.

 

[Thefeath18]

Ross do you have any news on the PSN?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I'm 90% certain they are using Brad Johnsons face for the goal umpires, lol

 

[Thefeath18]

Haha and i think they are using Mark riccutoh for the field umpire

 

[Churphy]

I thought one of them was Mike Hussey

 

[HSSB]

Could have just inserted his face from the cricket game they are making haha
