So no injuries or suspensions, no ability to ‘train’ players, no off field challenges a coach may experience, no player morales, horrendous A.I for draftees after 2 years, no front office outside of trades and draft, it’s hardly a management mode.
I think you’ll find that fifa and 2k had a lot of features back in the 2010s - they were prime years of management modes before the Ultimate Teams took over their focus. It really is just a string of play now games with the ability to trade and draft.
Definitely lackluster in my opinion. The disappointing this is it doesnt look set to change and I really love a good management mode, but sadly I’ll have to stick to Fifa for that.
The only time i really play afl23 is play now games when my brother and I catch up, or the occasional online private match together. Ive been mainly waiting for Pro Team this whole time.
Exactly right mate, lets hope for the next game it’s really deep. At least at the AFL Evolution 2 level of deep. Also getting player career in like they have in their cricket games would be amazing. My heart sunk when they announced it wouldn’t be in the game
@BringBackTheTorp As I said, fine tuning, they’re easy fixes, except for morale, that’s definitely in the game already. ‘Management mode’ is still technically correct giving you are managing the squad though…
You’ll find in those prime years there wasn’t any training as such, that was before the potential system was brought in and especially in fifa, the potential was based off age + value. These big companies have had 20 years of continuous games and insane resources to fine tune their modes.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m disappointed too that I’ve voiced concerns of the mode for over a year and they haven’t been acknowledged.
Meanwhile I’ve played 170+ hours of management mode, so I feel I’ve got a pretty decent idea of the ins and outs of the mode
