We shall see. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
 
It's a fking joke the amount of bugs in this game. We shouldn't have to wait for a patch, that's the point. People losing so much time from bugs that should never have made it through testing considering how much the game was delayed is just really bad.

-Bump off the ball - no free kick
-Deliberate handball through the goals - no free kick
-The ball going right through a player's stomach and marked by the player behind him - so bad
-Shot blocking
-Not getting a win until the fourth quarter if your opponent quits - dumb
-The AI making stupid decisions that cost you goals, like randomly running towards the boundary line and away from a contest - surely this came up in testing?
-Losing all stats because of some sync issue - surely there shouldn't been a backup/workaround to avoid this happening??

Don't get me wrong, fundamentally I think this is a deep game with a lot of fun and potential, but it's just sad that a great game can be destroyed by simple errors
 
Just rubbing salt into the wounds now.

I start up the game to try and get back into it, load up the first match, game freezes on the loading screen.

I give up. Someone somewhere does not want me to enjoy this game.

Having a bad run mate. Feel for you losing all your XP. That sucks.
I was pretty keen to get the platinum trophy but then I lost my offline data, ...now, having to start again, I can't see myself kicking 5000 goals and starting a new full season with 20 minute quarters.

Maybe that's why the patch is taking so long? because they have to test that these trophies/achievements still work...

It's pretty spirit-crushing because you've put so much effort into it. I can definitely relate to you regarding your data being erased - I'm just glad I haven't lose my achievements or goal tally (though I'm not sure I get to keep my online goals or not).

I'll wait for Ross to let me know whether anything can be done about this or not. If it's unable to be restored, well, I guess I'll just have to start again which is a huge let down, but also a great challenge. I'll have to chase down my rightful spot on the leaderboards.

Sitting around 6,000th last time I checked. :(

Was breathing down your neck too - taking over you was my next goal.
 
1st qtr 0.0.0. 5.5.35
2nd qtr 0.2.2. 11.8.74
3rd qtr 0.3.3. 16.8.104
4th qtr 0.3.3. 25.10.160

I was playing as Richmond against collingwood.
Saraaah11. Props to you for sticking around for that :).

how did it happen? do you even know what caused you to lose all your stats?

Nope. I was playing as per usual, checked my stats after two quitters as I usually do after every few games and I was 0-0-0 with about 600xp after 2 games.

Had a close game against 2 players. Was making a come back in the final term, had a shot for goal with 5 mins of game time left to put me 4 points behind and they decided that it was getting to close and just blocked my shot and rebounded the ball. Really wish that patch would come out
 
I really don't understand why people quit with 5 minutes to go in the last.

Had a close game with this bloke up until half time, then I blazed away and was quit on when I was ahead by 70.

I just don't get it.

Lol, I'm selling this game there is an unbelievable amount of flaws in the gameplay.

brb setting defensive all over the ground but every player on the opposition is left wide open

Try tagging some more players in the backline and setting your defence to play in front. The tactics are merely positioning, I do believe.
 
We have got to the bottom of the zero'ing of games, it occurs when we read your stats from Xbox Live/PSN and then add your current game then wrtie back - the error is that the initial read sometimes returns Zero if there is an error in the network (which isn't reported), the Zero + your current game stats are then written to the network, resulting in your score being reset.

Obviously I feel for anyone that this happens too - I am personally looking to put a prize draw together for a significant prize for anyone having lost stats.

In terms of testing, there were thousands of man hours put in, it is rather simplistic to say "how did this get in or how did that get in" - to test all iterations of the gameplay is millions of hours of testing.

All sports games I know of have exploits on Xbox/PSN, including Madden and FIFA. Next time around I will devote more time to looking at how "quitters" and cheaters might think as they do destroy games, however they are more prevalent than anyone here would have even expected. I didn't really think we were going to have to end up being cops and that it would be as bad as it is reported here.

In your defence to be fair, you can't prepare for how players are going to play the game. Obvious the date erasing is crappy but as far as the quitters and exploiters go, there is no testing that could have prepared for the way people choose to play the game.
 
I swear every time I switch my Sony on, play AFL Live, and then get my first online quitter, the game almost always freezes just after the last stats screen (that shows XP awarded). So I switch the Sony off, then back on, play AFL Live online again, and then when I get another quitter it doesn't freeze anymore. Very weird...and frustrating as hell.

Anyone else have this happen to them fairly regularly?
 
Really wish MS would get off their asses and publish the patch. Sick of playing against 2 or 3 players. It's impossible when they just block your players from running at the ball. Also, being able to move my own players at the center bounce would be handy since 2 players have that ability. Either make it not possible for anyone or both. Not as an advantage of playing with a friend.
 
There's one minor thing that annoys me about this game. I don't like how it automatically changes the player you're using when the ball is in the air. Is there a way to make it completely manual? Loving it apart from that little thing.

Not until after the patch, when you'll be able to change your "player switching" to manual for online games.
