AFL 23 - Megathread

Yep, i was looking at purchasing both rugby and cricket - however i just cant find it in me to go through the BS. :joy:

You’re right, it looks like they have learned from AFL and Cricket and Tiebreak and finally told everyone that its early release this time around!

So you’re supportive of paying $50 to be a tester? For $50 it still should have launched in a better state.

Congratulations :raised_hands: on reaching peak nuff, Tiebreak is early access too.

Delete your account and start another one now.

TBH its expected that both cricket and rugby have a priority over afl as they are international and widely popular whilst our afl is essentially a minor sport, hence less priority

Here’s a mind blowing concept, it is actually possible for a company to work on more than one project at once…

Whatever mate, if youre happy paying $65 for an early access game to be a guinea pig then my hat goes off to you.

Hey @JNT_BA is there just one department at BA that works on the games? Or is there one for afl, one for cricket, one for rugby? I’m just very curious and would love to know :grin: :+1:

You say that like they have nailed everything they’ve done over the last 18 months :person_facepalming:

Mate - suggest you familiarise yourself with the term early access, this is comical :rofl:

I’ll happily pay for early access of ProTeam :wink: :+1:

You’re right, lets just slap early access on it and that excuses us from releasing a half decent product.

They are doing what they did with AFL but just saying its early access now to excuse themselves whilst still taking peoples money. But hey, at least BA has learnt something over time.

what a weekend of footy
Geelong winning, Freo winning and that nail bitting win by BBFFC and Port’s one point win. What a crazy weekend it was.

Thanks for that Ross your only 2 days late

@bptuner The progression usually happens over the pre-season, only a couple of times I’ve seen the young players gain 1-2+ overall through the year.

Older players though regress quite rapidly

It’s not half baked, AFL 23 is the most authentic video game football experience to date.

@bptuner not in the slightest, I think 3-4 season in my high potential draft picks reached 91-92. They’ve honestly done the progression system well, sometimes their potential changes which I love

My only disappointment is that the draft picks drop off hard after 6 or so seasons, they end up being 70 potential so no point drafting…as well as an 18 y/o you pick up apparently has 70 games under the belt

It is half baked.
Outside of play now there’s bugger all to do.
Management mode is one of the most lacking management modes across any sports game. Pro team is an illusion and online is hit and miss.

TBH haven’t touched the game since they announced the pro team delay. Keen to play with ā€œLegend Max Gawnā€ when it finally comes out though.

@bptuner I’ve done the same too makes me feel like I’m really in charge!

I’ve noticed that a few players increase over time above their potential, so don’t lose faith!
