Is this just 1v1, where 1 player controls the whole team?

When are they ever going to create a footy game where people log online and they get to control one specific player in a team like a First Person Player scenario (a-la COD)?
 
Having played with it for a few hours now, I can honestly say it might well be the worst game I've ever played!

The game is just the biggest disappointment. It is almost exactly like AFL 98/99 but with a few really bad changes.

Ruck Tap - View is stupid and no matter what you do its either you win or lose.

Marking - If you dont push the right button your player just watches the ball fly past not even touching the ball.

Tackling - Ball never spills, umps call ball up and holding the ball way to quick.

Running - All players run the same speed, cant catch up.
 
Seems like the type of game that will be pretty frustrating playing on your own but a lot of fun against your mates.

I have a soft spot for some old video games too but really? :rolleyes:

How would you have the view?

Um....did you realise this is a video game? You press buttons and players do things. You no press = player no do.

Tackling - Ball never spills, umps call ball up and holding the ball way to quick.

Well this is wrong as the ball does spill out, especially in the wet. You can also handball when being tackled with reasonable success. Holding the ball decisions are occasionally harsh but generally fair. Learn how to use the clearance and stab kicks out of congestion and the AI tackling you won't be as big an issue.

Running - All players run the same speed, cant catch up.

There is not as great a spread in the speed of players as I would have liked but you can definitely tell apart Chris Judd from Brock McLean. Players can be caught too, especially given they have to slow down to bounce the ball.

Anyway, I couldn't care less if people critisise the game, it's not like it affects me at all. I would prefer people at least got things right though. The game is not without its flaws but aside from a slight homogeneity in the player speeds, I don't think you have touched on any.
 
I was a bit iffy when i first started playing, it's growing on me.

Once you get the hang of all the controls its a pretty fun game.

I was expecting a 5/10 game and I got a 3/10 game. It's pretty damn bad. The ruck contests are fine, I don't know what your issue is with that.

What gets to me is the fact that there is WAY to many ball ups.

Handpassing is your friend. Handpass into areas where your team-mates can run onto the ball and keep running. Use L2 and X to pass into the forwardline.
