Same here. I’m curious to know what it was 🤔

Why is the ‘Featured HP’ battle still under coach battles when there is no HP left in it?? @JNT_BA🙂

Anyone else having their game crash when they start a game on management mode?

Loads for about 5 minutes then crashes everytime. I’ve restarted the game a few times and it’s still doing this

How about fixing in-game things like player stats during set shots? Or adding injuries in user-controlled games?

Wanting new things is not “fixing”. Just cause someone wants something doesn’t mean we’ll always do it.

Wait a minute, isn’t there an option to toggle injuries in the option for games?

So, That doesn’t actually do anything? Then why is the option still selectable then?

I’m not trying to be rude and I’m trying to be as respectful as possible, but you’d think if it’s something that you don’t plan on adding to the game that you wouldn’t have it as an option on the menu…

It kinda makes things look a bit rushed and put together on the fly. I’m starting to think that AFL 23 should have gone through the Early Access process that Tiebreak and Rugby 25 went through and that maybe if Big Ant does do another AFL game that Early Access might be the way to go.

There just seems to be quite a lot of things that seem to be there but aren’t functioning properly and it just makes me question why they are currently in the game if they aren’t working as intended and aren’t planned to be fully added in… It kinda ironically makes the game feel quite Early Access IMO…

Yeah it’s been like this since launch same with suspensions. Would love them to fix it but obviously there’s been so many things that take priority away from that. Gameplay is now in a pretty good state so you never know 🤞

One thing I have noticed though if a player gets a specky or a special spoil taken on them they sometimes go down and have this weird injury like animation and then get back up

Both of those do work they are for simulation. It has been that way the whole time. If they didn’t work as intended it would have been removed. Again this is a case of it doesn’t work how I expect it to so it must be broken needs to be fixed. People have mentioned these from the release of the game how it works. These are not new revelations.

Edit: 👋 Big footy, love when I see my posts there.

@JNT_BA just wanted to clarify, with the ‘accumulate 8 free kicks in a match’ objective. Is that ‘holding the ball’ only or can get it by any??

Dude comes for another ‘gotcha’ moment and once again snuffs it! You’d reckon 18 months + after the game had released he’d have _some_ idea how the game _actually_ functions OR even give up on the quest to throw pot shots at the company that he seemingly has a personal vendetta against. It’s almost like he was rejected for a job there? Stick to your BigFooty posts ‘I don’t even touch management mode’ and Reddit, they seem to suit your like seeking drivel.

So it appears Freekicks count for the following:

- Holding the Ball
- High Tackle
- Push in the back

It doesn’t count for:

- Out of bounds on the full
- Insufficient Intent

And I am not sure on deliberate rushed behind, but I assume that would count as well.

Ok awesome thank you mate, the most I have got is like 4 in a game and 3 of them were the ones that were counting towards and that was in a 7.5 min quarter game seems impossible/tricky. It seems it may I have to resubscribe to PS Plus and play a friendly if someone is nice enough to help me get the 8 free kicks 😜

No worries. At 5100 posts I don’t expect everyone to read every single one.
