AFL 23 - Megathread

What are you on mate, just because he has a different opinion to you it’s wrong???

Personally I’d be listening to the bloke who has ACTUALLY been in there and seen it rather than a bunch of people theorising about what each word, punctuation mark or grammar means

@JNT_BA
Is there a cut off period throughout the day where we can accept the fact that it’s not coming or is there a possibility of the launch at any given moment considering the patches in the past have come at all sorts of hours throughout the day/night ?

I can answer that as best I can. Quite literally as soon as I can say anything I will. The easiest thing to do is run on the assumption that it’s not coming out until someone says it is. How much lead up will I give? As much as I can. I will say it will not launch during the night to the best of my knowledge, cause sometimes we like to sleep. Do I have an ETA yes, but the E in that is the most important letter. Do I get it is annoying? 100% I do. Whether you all understand it or not you get things as soon as I can say something. PP talked about the mode, I was there I literally showed him. As soon as he talked about it I cleared some things up asap.

I wonder if Carey has been scrapped as a legend following the casino drama

@JNT_BA any chance we can know the ETA if that’s allowed, or at least a rough estimate of it like this week ect?

And flogs asking what the ETA is in 3,2,1….

The issue with that is the E. Say I was to say its coming out in ETA 5 mins. Then 10 minutes go by. Then 20. “But you told us it would be in 5” would be the response cause people don’t get the E part. Things change all the time. Thing go right, things go wrong. I’m a gamer just like everyone else here, I have also been in the competitive scene where missing a launch means I could lose my spot, delays suck I know. I went from rank 5 to rank 100 in a game a number of years ago cause I missed the update with bad Aussie internet. I never recovered from that. I maintained the rank for as long as I could but never hit 5 or anywhere close again.

I want this mode out just as much as everyone else does. Like PP saw when he came in. It’s there, it is sitting there waiting. But this is not a simple process and you have no idea how much I appreciate those who have and are trying to be patient cause I get it. I’ve been there. You can be frustrated and angry and that’s ok, I get that way too. How you communicate that is the most important part for here.

All I ask is you keep it civil. You don’t call anyone names or attack them for their opinion. I’ve removed comments from both sides. Those who get called names for being positive and those who get called things for being negative. Sometimes I will wait for people to report comments cause it could be borderline and I leave it up to them.

Lets just all agree that there needs to be a 'what could have been ’ themed Richard Tambling card.

The best thing is to sit back quietly and twiddle the thumbs :wink: That’s what I do. The question is do I expect ProTeam to drop this week? No. What I do expect is news about its release date or news about why it might be delayed a little longer. :+1:

I think we all deserve to expect a release this week given all the antics last week. Anything short of that, after what’s been inferred, is just bewildering in my eyes.

All of my custom guernsey’s have been mysteriously deleted. When I go to download any from the academy (eg, the NewAge packs) none of the logos get downloaded, and I have to manually download all logos and basically make all the guernsey’s from scratch again.

I spent hours making my own guernsey’s ever since the game launched. Now all that has been for nothing!

Hey @JNT_BA i mean this as no attack on BA or anything but…

Out of curiosity, would you say pro team is much better than management mode and online play? As many have said Management mode is a big of a flop and a half atm (again no offence just a common opinion).

I am very hopeful that pro team is gonna be goat, not expecting EA FC24 UT goat but still a great mode. But imo management mode is dead, with next to no features to it and as far as we know nothing more coming to it, and I still can’t get a good online game going cos it just crashes (on ps5).

Hope no one feels attacked or anything by this, I’m just curious for a bit of an honest comparison, praying the game mode will be great.

TBH I never did much management mode. Just not my thing personally. I know a number of the team have done decades in the mode over many clubs. So it wouldn’t be a fair comparison for me as I have enjoyed pro team much more. But I’m also a big fan of cards and collecting so to me it has the things I enjoy more in Pro Team.

Yea valid. Personally I enjoy pro team like modes - always loved fifa for it despite having zero interest in soccer itself (AFL is my life). But would love to see much more done for management mode, was fun but just gets very repetitive over time and is in no way a challenge. I have to actually try to lose otherwise I’m up at least 100 points with sliders done to extremes. Plus I wish there were injuries and suspensions tbh. But if the AI was fixed at a minimum, it’d definitely make it better.

bruh how much has been posted today?

I’ve had the same issues too. While it is fun it does become stale quickly. I think really for the immersion to become better there needs to be injuries, suspensions, and a larger variety of team tactics/player roles. Would love to see some more tactics, and have the current ones properly fine tuned. Could have forward line setups such as how the forwards space out, whether it’s in a triangle formation etc. Being able to drop a winger back and having a tagger too would create more variety to the current gameplay. Even having a forward moving up into the contest for stoppages. Again, could have something similar to the NBA 2K rotation system, where you can set minutes for players and even create custom rotations. Maybe even where you can focus on a player, such as being able to make Bontempelli work harder for the ball. Even having the option to control defenders and midfielders as to how loose they are, whether you want them to stick to their opponents or give them more freedom so they can roam. This just gave me another idea lol, get the interceptors in the game! Would love to see players like Ridley, Lever and Stewart have a greater impact. All of this won’t be in this game I know but having more freedom as a coach would really improve this mode.

Sometimes the logos don’t download on the first go. It was a bug others had found.
Avoid using the Quick Code and instead find the guernsey through Search. I can’t quite remember the workaround for it, but once you search and find it, leave it there for 30 seconds before downloading it…. Hopefully that pulls in the logos correctly.
If not, delete the guernsey and search/download again, it should eventually work.
