Obviously not that many AFL Fans here...all wanting to return the game, if your a true AFL Fan, you wouldn't think of taking it back, you would keep playing it, despite the lack of the game's reality and expectation.
 
nah if your a fan or not, to pay anywhere between 75 to 100 dollars for that ******** game is a rip off, very much a waste of money i could handle 2004 the 2 player mode was good and the matches where decent, the camera angles and gameplay on this game where rubbish probably one of the worst games to be ever played

The 2003 version is so easy to win that I have to select a team of all the reserves players, put the short players like schneids and crouch in the ruck and FFs and put the ruckman as the onballers and centers/wingers.

A video game disaster.

Hahaha I do exactly the same! Terrible.
 
I dislike the game. Sure the players don't look the real thing and their socks aren't pulled up to some peoples liking. However the one stupid thing that really annoys me are the simple things like commentating the players that are in possession of the ball. Example. Skipworth is 30 metres out and misses yet the commentator states "Welsh misses, shows that he is human" I mean can't they get the simple little things like getting a players name correct? And the kicking is absolutely shocking. If the opposing player is 40 metres out he passes off to a person who is 20 metres out, then HE passes to someone even closer. It's like they don't shoot for goal unless they are 10 metres or below out. Luckily I'm only borrowing it and didn't buy the dam thing for $100.
 
I've decided to give the game a chance, and, well, It's starting to grow on me. I had one of the most exciting "realistic" finishes just before. I was playing Carlton(I was the Kangaroos) and i was 4 goals behind with 4 minutes left, i kicked 3 goals but ended up losing by 1 goal. Playing a wet match is awesome because the players get all muddy and stuff. Waiting for leads and kicking to them is heaps of fun. I'd actually give it about a 6/10 now. Still alot of things need to be improved though

That aspect of the game is okay.. I still can't win on Hard and umpiring Strict. I played Carlton just before and I lost 109-29. I always get hammered when umpiring is strict and its on hard. However, it still annoys me how they don't even get the players names right.

yeah, the gameplay is good, its just they need to add the things that were also taken out of it, eg. Stats.
 
what annoys me is that when the player has the ball it comes up with his stats (usually pretty accurate), yet you cant look at their stats at the end of the game at all or during the game, unless theyve taken a grab and it flashes up underneath their name?

but it's still a young game. remember what NBA live 95 was like.

The difference is though that it wasnt just a young franchise but the computers weren't capable of doing what they can today. If IR Gurus want to be taken seriously as a video game company (and why wouldn't they want to be if no one takes them seriously they lose to overseas companys) they need to stop having excuses for why their games are so poor.

Seen Heroes of the Pacific, IRGurus' self-funded effort?

That game looks ********ing amazing, takes full advantage of the hardware available nowadays, is tearing apart the review charts both overseas and domestically (although retail release is still a little while away).

These guys are ********ing talented.
So.
If it's not the developer, is it Sony that's the problem?
Doubt it, because last year's had even worse problems, and that was a different publisher.

So is it the AFL?
Hang on.
Has anyone ever seen an official AFL-branded game that wasn't utter ********?

WHAT?

That was one of my favourite parts of the game!
Who here would always look for the handball off to their favourite player so they could nail the goal?

Obviously the games had big flaws, but I always thought the 2-player mode was good. Heaps of flaws though.
The incorrect commentary was in Live '04, and it just got bloody annoying after a while. Another annoying thing (Not sure if this is in '05 because I haven't played it) was how dumb the computer could get. Chipping it backwards, to the point of kicking it out on the full, constant spoiling WTF? and just the frustration of the wierd tactics.
I remember playing against Port and everytime S Burgoyne got a possession it would say it was Cassisi.
The ad made it look crap, Nathan Brown aboriginal ruckman WTF?

Just a question, is the 2 player mode in '05 any good? That was probably the best part of all the games.

1. The first bit, I don't get what your saying...What i said was, the Gameplay is good...but it needs the things that were in AFL PE that have been taken out...(the stats, and mini-games, and ofcourse video's)...so, what are you saying here?

2. Answer to your question, 2 player is certainly the highlight, much better because it is still as challenging, and also, much much much more aggressive.
