I’m not gonna come here and absolute just dish out abusive about big ant. But the word I would describe for pro team would be simply disappointed. From seeing the mode in the first trailer a year and a bit ago and seeing how excited everyone was to play this game mode I really wonder what could have been if it released a couple weeks after launch. I guess my frustration lies in the fact that I understand things change very quickly but the fact of the matter is that they’ve had over a year to release this game mode and it’s simply not good enough that it hasn’t been released a year and a half later. With all the delays we’ve been put through i think a lot of people have given up waiting for this to drop. It’s sad looking through the forums after they said their would be a short delay and people would come up with their own assumptions everyday on when it would drop because their so desperate for the mode to drop. To now hearing it looks like it’s been delayed again to how ever long. It’s sad to know what could of been of pro team if it dropped on time.

If it’s not out next week, it might be time to start dishing out refunds to everyone.

Pull the pin and try again with Afl25/26 - however i won’t be pre-ordering this time.

If the game had have launched in it’s current state, with pro team then i think we would all be saying it’s the greatest AFL game to date. However it’s been a rough journey with no end in sight.

i think when talking about delays we also need to remember these facts:

-a mode like this cant release until all platforms are live. X Box didnt give their green light until September. So due to fair play it couldnt be released during that time.

-xbox approves in september during finals, with 4 weeks left i think everyone universally agreed there was no point with the season over.

In essence the main delay has been from March 2024 till now.

Doesnt make it any less frustrating but i really think context is needed with these things showing the full picture.

The mode hasnt just been sitting there 2 weeks after launch and they just cbf loading it up for example.

No, however i think the concern was that it was ready to go from the start.
Its easy to blame platform holders or external stakeholders at this point, however at the end of the day it wasn’t ready at launch. If everything was 100% ready to go at launch none of us would be having this conversation.

Instead by this point we would be begging jnt for a new iteration of the game after 18 months of greatness.

Why has there been a delay from march to now then. Theirs no chance you can be waiting on approval for a game mode for over 5 months if you have been working on it from most likely sometime in 2022. And then why wouldnt you send it off to be approved in the off season so it would be ready for the start of the 2024 season?

If there’s ‘no chance on waiting on the game mode for 5 months’ then I’d love to hear your full take on what’s happened. Please enlighten us :grinning:

I think it’s obvious that it wasn’t ready in time. And hear we have people like you who will defend big ant to save their life and will say they haven’t done a single thing wrong while we all wait on a game mode that’s only a year and a half late

‘It wasn’t ready in time’. So are you saying it being ready for all but one platform holder is a lie? I mean surely you have a deeper theory than that?
I’d love you to find the quote where I’ve said ‘they haven’t done a single thing wrong’ too please :pray:

@JNT_BA Would this (ProTeam) have anything to do with what’s happening with Microsoft being down across the globe at the moment?

No. That would be 100% unrelated.

Unrelated. But yeah that whole situation crazy.

Cool I was a bit worried :sweat_smile:

Not a bad winning goal for Rachelle tonight, predicted the Crows to win and I guess I chose right :sweat_smile:

No proteam, no dons win. What a depressing weekend :frowning:

My Eagles line up in my longest save has both Jamieson and Draper as my two rucks. (I poached from Essendon Draper, Perkins and I got Jones as a delisted free agent.). I use the random generated players and get them OP and then I use them as leverage to steal other players :wink:

Surely eventually we can train players in the management career mode that has to be added right?

Would be cool if they would happen but BA won’t touch management mode as they consider it as a complete mode. Maybe they might change their minds and add lots more content to management mode

Nope. Unfortunately it looks like we arent getting any updateds to management mode.
So a lackluster management mode and no pro team leaves us with play now…
