Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

One of my gripes with NBA 2K11 is the commentary, same stuff in the leadup (in terms of how xxx team was injury plagued last season, will it be the case this season ? Even when the season is just about finished , likewise with that reporter Doris reporting the same stuff at the half time break).

Fifa was just as bad in lead up and close of game commentary (should have multiple setups for the lead in - as i had heard that the team i picked were down in luck and not very good etc.... yet 5 seasons later when i had been promoted in the first few seasons, then won the EPL and all cup's associated 2 years in a row.... we were still a bottom league side and down in luck), yet their in game commentary was fantastic.

I hate the sprite spark thing in NBA2k11. Waste of my time!!

a question for EB Reps:

If I would prefer not to take-up the AFL Live preorder offer, will you pricematch my copy with that of JB-Hi Fi and/or Big W?

Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

Can somebody ask the people at EB to put the sound on? Would love to see if commentary has improved from previous AFL games, i remember premiership edition "Riewoldt..... Putting on a clinic as he adds another goal."

Think they would have gone to great lengths to avoid putting St Kilda players & Clinic in the same sentance.

Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

I imagine commentary would be one of the most difficult things to get right, even in FIFA it isnt great. I hope they just name players instead of saying "Didak (pause/voice change) handballs to a teamate". Id rather they have a few lines for the stars of the game, and the rest get there name followed by an action (but not in the same phrase, if that makes sense)
Another blast from the past - "Geelong.. starting to create a buffer"

Of course

A pre order bonus is not something shoved down the throat that you have to take

Its merely an option.

Some classic lines from the older games, can only hope for more of the same in this one.

Did anybody see if the 5 minute warning was in the game?

Yeah, it was.

None of the vids showed it though.

From what i saw there was a 5 minute warning message in the last 5 minutes but the clock stayed as the count down and didn't change to count up.

A video of the player creator would've been cool.

On the 7th preview at the end, I was going to. But Ross said no, because everyone else wanted to play the game. (He said, do it when no one is here.)

Oh, I wondered what you were trying to do there. Not cool Ross..

Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

I spoke to Ross in relation to the commentary at EB Chadstone. He said he felt the commentary was the most disappointing aspect of the game. Unfortunately he added, BigAnt weren't able to do the commentary for the XBOX/PS3 versions and all commentary was supplied by WickedWitch.

Apparently BigAnt cut down what they were sent and used it in the game.

I imagine the commentary will be quite a letdown, quite quickly.

Let's all keep our focus on the prize in the end however, the most crucial part of this release is that BigAnt sell their 50,000 units required to make AFL Live 2012, and hopefully all these additional features shall be added year by year.

So they require 50,000 units to be sold, how many units are sold with popular games such as FIFA ect... is 50,000 achievable?

Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

Did anyone play as Port? See who the highest ranked player is? I’m guessing its Boak around 84ish.

Thanks in advance

How many copies did AFL Premiership 2005-2007 sell?
