there’s probably a few different versions, to test out various things. it’s very common in the gaming industry.
I’ve seen other people keen on the idea of unlockables too, hopefully it’s something they look at down the track.
Incidentally - liked your marking tutorial video. Marking is always one of those things I struggle with in AFL games, understanding how it works has been a huge help!

My question is when do we think we’ll get the mode. This week looks very unlucky unless we get some news but besides that it feels like we’re in no mans land again.
Sorry CEO I forgot to change to the sarcasm font

@JNT_BA What are the odds of us having to go through another weekend without PT?

Yeah nice, I’m glad it helped. The marking vide was a culmination of things I found myself, and the bits and pieces I’d read on forum posts along the way and tested out.
Funnily enough, even though I’m pretty good at marking now, I have still played a few games online and been smashed in contests. Some people must know another factor in it all that I’ve still not completely understood.
Also… with sliders… making those marking ones lower can make it near-impossible to win an aerial contest… in case anyone really wants to challenge themselves, they’re the ones to look at.

Hey @JNT_BA just wondering about how often the player overalls will be updated/adjusted once Pro Team releases. I feel like it’d be cool to have them done once a week but obviously it would be tons of work and I’m not sure how time consuming it is to manually adjust the cards of over 700 players lol? Also will the overalls still be influenced by champion data (if not make Merrett a 99 
)?

I think youll find that the cards wont change, if anything they would release new cards of that player periodically but if a player releases at 85 overall that card will stay at 85.

Yeah I’m still trash too, don’t win many 1 on 1’s at all. Numbers in the contest has helped me the most. There’s actually a lot more nuance in the gameplay than what people give credit for.

Very true. Ideally individual cards will not change. Each card has been individually created then checked by multiple people based on a number of factors before being approved to go in the mode. So many discussion were had by those involved to how they played what type of player they would be based on the archetypes among other things. I’m pretty sure I know the line-ups of other clubs more than I do the bombers now.
While testing we did have some fun with some cards where we were like sure 99s all around, very early on in development.

Is that an eventual plan? I know NBA does it every year as they start gearing up for their next title theyll just go silly with the cards making everyone 99’s.
Is there plans for things like AA themed packs? Like a higher rated card for everyone that makes the AA team this year? Or things like that?

It’s something we have have thought about, a few of the team play NBA pretty often and they always love at the end of the cycle just go outlandish and crazy with it. So it’s certainly a possibility but if it does happen won’t be any time soon.
In terms of ideas of packs and themes we have so many things that could be put in. It comes down to you guys and how much you like it. The ideas sheet was a few pages long of what we “could” do on themes and events.

So do we have different cards from the ones we saw in the teaser and obviously legends?
Yeah sweet.
Is there any themed releases? Like being close to 2025 now will we see batches of new cards next year?
Edit - sorry ive just seen the rest of your response.

Love that, hopefully there’s enough support behind it to get all those ideas off the paper and into the game. Could genuinely revive the AFL gaming community if done right
Aww cmon.
I was meant to go away for tenacious d but now my weekend is free
So I might start a new management save, what players should I ‘poach’/trade?
