Total Aussie Rules

I just looked at the screenshots for the first time. They were quite impressive however i feel the new Footy Fanatic will be much better. Some unique things on the game with tactics, sending runner out, employing staff are quite imressive.

However i prefer a freee game to one you have to pay

What are your views

Depends, I'd prefer to pay for a decent game than get a crap one for free. Can't really comment until they've both been release, tested and reviewed.

What's the TAR website?

 

[quiksilva]

Well thats true, how much does it cost to buy ?

 

[GeeCat]

Brilliant aye. what about this (Runners may also be sent out to give individual instructions to players such as tagging, double-teaming an opposition player or dragging an opponent back to the goalsquare. )

Each season your coaching performance is reviewed. From here you can be hired or fired. If your team has been performing poorly for several seasons there is every chance your club will decide to sack you. You may also receive coaching offers from other clubs if your performance warrants it.

Sounds good aye but from my point of view i bet that it would work on my comp. Whoeva has it cna u tell me if its good or not.

So if anyone can burn it for me i would be happy to pay ya for it. Does anyone know if you can download it at all?

 

[The Passenger]

looks unreal. Will probably pay for it.

Will be interesting to see what the new FF is like.

The one thing that TAR didn't do very well in the original was the same players seem to dominate every single week*, whilst outside of injuries there didn't seem to be any changes to the computer teams from a week to week basis. And unlike FF the players form didn't seem to affect how they'd play.

*Usually about 25 guys each season would kick 50 or more goals - including a lot of guys who would struggle to get a game with their team in real life. With the hit outs the top 20 would average 25-30 hit outs a match and after that the next guy would be really really low.
