The game came out almost 5 months ago, and still no news on the PC version. Is their even going to be one? Or are they just not going to worry about it.
 
Small nitpick, but isn't the Carlton listed player "Rhys O'Keefe"'s name supposed to be spelled with two Fs? As in, "O'Keeffe."
Dunno, was just bugging me.
Great pick up. :thumbsu:
 
A quickie from me too...when you lock on a player in the forward line are they meant to lead? I had thought so, but have noticed a bit lately that they sometimes just stand there.

Players generally lead quite early, if at all. Just kick it short of a stationary player and the AI will run the player to the ball. So, you're initiating the lead.

Ross, how harsh are you going to be on player ratings next year? When re-assessing a player, will you take into consideration factors such as carrying an injury or team mates playing poorly this year?

One such example is Nick Riewoldt, who certainly doesn't deserve a 94 in the next game like he did this year. It's well known he is down on form, but will you acknowledge the impact of his knee on his poor season?

Or what about players who have missed most of the year through a long term injury - will you keep their rating steady or modify them based on the games that they did manage to play?

I'm also interested in how Freo will rate next year, we were obviously pretty sh*thouse this year due to the amount of players missing, but will that be part of the consideration come ratings time.

I think they'll be fairly generous if we consider examples like Dean Cox' rating (played through injury in 2010 which affected his performance but was still made the second best ruck in the game) and Drew Petrie's rating (played minimal games in 2010 and got injured in the ones he did, but still a great key forward in this game).

Riewoldt might get nerfed if only to make Lance Franklin rightfully the best CHF in the game next edition, but who knows.

Fremantle are interesting - despite going backwards on their 2010 season, it's fair to say that David Mundy, Luke McPharlin, Nathan Fyfe and others deserve significant bumps on their current ratings.

Thanks. Yeah, have noticed a few times where the player just doesn't lead, even when kicking in front of them, they can just stand there. Has been the exception though, was just checking to see I wasn't going crazy.

I think BA's biggest challenge will be figuring our how to give the Melbourne a higher team rating than North again (yes still bitter - the final ladder positions year are pretty much the same again this year too...)

But seriously though, this is a great point. They can't make special adjustments, it's a slippery slope where some team or player will end up getting shafted. I think they're just going to have to mark injured-effected or out of form players down, it's too hard otherwise. For example, how many players are struggling with OP? Probably way more than we're aware of.
 
I'm getting ridiculous amounts of lag recently online.

It's to the point where I can't finish matches because they lag out, the strange part being that I keep getting the win for it.

Not only is the issue covering the AFL Live comp running in the other thread on here, but it's every single match I'm playing too.

It's weird because surely if the game has lagged out and credited me with the win then it's not my fault? But if I'm getting the lag in every game, then it is my fault?

The weird part is that nothing has changed with my net and speedtests, they're all the exact same with decent enough ping, download and upload speeds - at all hours of the day. And I don't run anything other than a few minor programs on the laptop while playing (which I've always done anyway).

So strange. And it's starting to really ruin the experience, on top of the already horrendous custom team issue.
 
As long as we are rated higher than Melbourne and Richmond like we should be I dont care about the rest. Still pissed off Melbourne are rated higher than us.

Lol you beat me to it. I wonder how the conversation went...'look I know North beat Melbourne twice this year, finished higher on the ladder and haven't lost to them in years, but at the end of the day let's face it Melbourne are clearly the better team'.
 
Wow! it's been a while since i was on here. Must say still loving the AFL game. But ever since this new search system came in i have trouble finding matchs. it takes like 10-15 mins to find a match. so i've just been playing private matchs and now i'm 2nd on the leaderboard behind someone who has played over 1000 games :S

Im suspecting that once FIFA 12 comes out which will tie in with the end of the season the online community will drop off even more.

Just had a few games with SIDDOGG online, even though he uses a custom team hes a quality opponent. First person to keep me scoreless to half time.
 
dont you hate it when the game freezes with 1:31 left in the grandfinal when your winning by 68 points
 
Played the game for the first time in months, failed dismally. At the height of playing the game, i was finally able to smash the AI by 80+ points per game. As i havn't played it for ages, i am once again on the opposite end of the smashing scorelines. Played two matches - first up Hawthorn vs Brisbane, was down by 4 goals at the end of the first quarter. Managed to snag one back (fluke snap shot on an angle), and that was my first and only score for the match. I had many opportunities, but i kept on kicking the ball out on the full. Wound up losing by 85 points.

Second match was Hawthorn vs Richmond, a much closer affair (Richmond just couldn't kick accurately, keeping me in it.... otherwise i would have lost by 15+ goals). I finally got used to the controls again, but by the time i had adjusted and worked out what button did what - it was too late. I actually didn't score anything, despite my attempts (always roosted it out on the full :D :thumbsu:). Towards the end of the second match, i got the hang of the game play and was able to rebound from defence, to attack fairly quickly. Converting is what i need to learn next.

Cant wait till they get rid of customs if they ever do. Just played the new number 1 for XBL and i must say that if it wasnt for his over powered ruckman he would be nothing but a flog. Atleast when i was getting beaten by Elitemicky i could see the skill he has.

Ive come up against alot better players and im no easy beat im ranked 15 and play as port adelaide...

Yeah, the new number one is a complete flog. I managed to beat him by 20 odd points with the default St Kilda side against his pack of supermen.

I notified him that his number one position was clearly achieved by his immense number of games played, not by skill - of which he has none for that matter. He wasn't exactly pleased with those comments.... :D
 
downloaded the patch, was setting up a game against carlton, adjusting the line up to this weekends, getting pumped, hit start game, notice the loading screen is taking a bit too long, turns off xbox

sigh
 
I hadn't played in a while so i just give it a go online and guess who i find a team full of super-players i almost won but his cheap tactics where just too much in the end.

Thats why i stopped playing online.
 
I managed to master the game offline and was smashing teams on legend, so i thought hey, I'll give online a go, i should go alright at it.

Well wow.....played about 4 or 5 games and haven't won a single game, i played some bigant guy first up with 200,000 XP and almost beat him but since then I've been spudding it up. I'm playing like i would against the computer, keep thinking my opponents are going to do things the computer would do and I'm just getting smashed

Could anyone give me a quick rundown on tactics that work online, because im stumped at the moment. BTW my online is lukew_93 if any of you guys might have played me, and if the guy that i quit against is here, it wasn't me my internet decided to crack it!
