I know not a big deal but since they have done such a good job at replicating all the stadiums would love to see the grass on all the ovals look different… with the lawn stripes the game has at the moment I think they only ever use that pattern for the grand finals every stadium looks different. For example Sydney’s game tonight has a big patch in the centre square. Little things like that would go along way

I think ross said there going to remove being online for offline stuff

I normally switch away from the player on the mark & I haven’t given away any/many annoying 50m

The 50m penalties are all over the place which needs more work by big ant

I’ve been having problems with 50 meter penalties and I don’t do anything wrong so I took footage and added it to a ticket so hopefully it’s just a bug

Playing SANFL with 50m penalties feels dirty.

Bring in the 25!

I saw Hamish at the game tonight when I went on the field to put up the banner. :wink:

Is there an echo in here?

Since we are now a few days into the patch that just dropped, what’s the next update looking like?

Are we assuming that the next update will be when Xbox releases and pro team also drops?

The game is in probably the best spot it’s been (my opinion only) gameplay wise. Is it good enough for pro team? Not quite it’s getting there, but online I refuse to touch as everyone just exploits the bugs which makes it no fun.

I’ll list a few little bits and pieces below that I hope is fixed before proteam is out:

The stuck in the mud feeling when you quickly receive a handball flat footed. It’s definitely improved for players on the move, but needs work on stationary players.

Set shots are good, shots on the run though can the little bar possibly be brightened up a bit, I can never see it so it costs me so many goals.

Powering up for a kick wether it’s at goal or anywhere on the field, sometimes it almost doesn’t register or you’ll get tackled literally as the ball is going to leave your foot and it glitches back into your players hands and your done for holding the ball.

50 metre penalties are great but there’s still playing running over the mark that I’m not controlling and giving away 50. Also sometimes my player won’t stand on the mark so I try to walk up to where it would be so the AI doesn’t play on and then I get pinged for 50.

Tackle frees for, the player settings next to be fixed cause it’s almost impossible to get a free kick against the AI.

If those little bits and pieces were fixed I’d probably say it’s ready for pro team.

Well done for sticking it out.

But I feel your pain with online, and it’s been happening on all footy games since cocky was an egg.
People find little loopholes and exploit them just so they have sleep at night with a sense of achievement.

I too came up against someone who would be bombing torps from the centre circle en mass and go on to win by about 12 goals because I didn’t have an answer.

I prefer a tight tussle which could go either way, but that’s just me.

But yeah, the ruck tap seems quite OP and that puts you on the back foot from the get go.

Why should I accept a management mode that sees Matt Rowell, Sam De Koning, Jake Bowey, and all-Australian Sam Banks delisted and all not signed by an AFL club, as well as 120 draft picks being made, and the ability to sign free agents still missing? Surely we’re getting to the point where management mode will actually be looked at by the dev team. Has been ignored for over 2 months now. Give the community some effective communication as to what you plan and what will be implemented. Let @JNT_BA give some insight into plans.

I’ve not yet seen a 50m penalty paid against my team for a non-controlled player.
I even had cases where my teammates will run past the kicker, and no 50m is paid. I know the patches should all be aligned now… but I’m on PS5, playing Management Mode… in case that matters.

I’ve only seen one. I wasn’t watching what he did though as I was busy sending my controlled player back to the half back flank to cut off a loose player. Nek minnit they’re marching the Geelong player right up inside 50
