AFL 23 - Megathread

So there is some further tuning to some sliders. Some updates to switching in certain circumstances as well as some tracking updates for stats in some weird play scenarios, some tuning for Achievements now that sliders were changed. Updates to how some players will interact with contests will need lots of testing, as well as some tuning for stamina. Various rule tweaks. Some UI changes to make things more consistent across some modes.

Again these will need testing and will “NOT” be going out with Pro Team.

Gang tackling isn’t in there?

@JNT_BA Please tell me “switching” means my midfielders wont be at Full Back while my KDEF is on the flank!

I imagine “switching” to be around player switching (L1) in gameplay.

No more with actual player switching, as in when you change your active player. When it comes to auto interchange it doesn’t always take the actual position as the best change. Sometimes overall stats can overrule position data if there is a large change and the game thinks it will be most beneficial based on a few factors. It’s something I’ve had a chat with the AI team about that may be able to be updated there.

@JNT_BA While it’s not quite the same, but for ‘UI changes’, do you think there’s any possibility of having the Tactics and Quick Interchange menus stay up during cutscenes?

I imagine, given every HUD element disappears in ball ups, set shots, etc, that it’d be quite a large change… but it would totally make these features more usable in the game.
Not sure if this is something already being considered, or more a ‘maybe in the future’ kind of thing.

@JNT_BA I knew it’d be that, I was testing my luck :joy:

Now THAT is one very young Bernard Vince in that photo!

Pretty cool. My dad and uncles won a flag with the Kadina Bloods and the Wallaroo Bulldogs (the ex Wallaroo Seagulls). At the time my dad and his brothers were playing in the 1990s they were the only Port Adelaide lads in the YPFL

Oh damm that sucks a little oh well I play the game then when everything is patched up

@JNT_BA I think we’ve all gone about this the wrong way. Instead of telling us when pro team is coming.

Can you confirm pro team is not coming today? :joy:

I’ve never checked a discussion page for a video game as much as this, let alone for an unreleased game mode. When will the pain end? :rofl:

Preaching it to the people in the back! :joy:

Side note @JNT_BA if you could personally message us all and give us notice before BA posts on X that would be great, i get a bit excited then crushingly let down on the daily when you guys post. :joy:

If you read back a couple of comments you can see that there will be the pro team update followed by more gameplay updates.
My expectation is that wont be the end of it, if they are backing pro team in we should see somewhat continuous works on the game for the time being.

The April patch at the moment is the last patch we will see until the ProTeam patch drops (as that’s BA’s priority).

I saw this patch on Ebay. Looks legit
