AFL 23 - Megathread

[stallionsCEO]

Was impressed with my Rookies wearing the black, teal and white. Very impressed on the way they handled Melbourne with a win 158-58.

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.

Isn’t that the rule? Once the umpire calls stand or even tell a player to stay ‘outside 5’, no one can come and man the mark, they can be outside the 5m but can’t walk up the mark as that’s a 50m.

So I assume, once the whistle is blown and maybe after 5secs you can’t man the mark. Any sights about how the 50m exactly works @JNT_BA

Best camera settings for ps5 anyone?

It’s hard to explain without having a video to show it, but I’ll try make more sense of it….

Normally when you mark the player will auto stand on the mark and put their hands up. It’s happened a few times where my player as soon as the mark is called instead of standing there they drift off, if I try and put them back that little bit to stop the ai from running through with no one on the mark I get done for 50.

Thought it was a good opportunity to try everything I could think of to turn the tables, eveything except for just copying him by constantly torping it because I just feel gross doing that.

By everything, I mean almost everything. During the game I tried;

• Different timings/modifiers/angles in the ruck, including not contesting the ruck.
• Different tactics.
• Different timings/modifiers for spoiling, marking, tackling etc.
• Different game settings such as assisted and semi assisted.

He would just win the ruck, run through my player, and torp it for a goal or a mark inside 50. I have solid internet and it showed 3 ping for most of the match.

Any advice Big Ant?

Honestly don’t get people like that. Where is the fun in it? I managed to do it in a management mode game a few times - Reeves taps to Worpel, whack a backwards hand pass to Karl Amon on the wing, run to about 70m out and slam a torp through. Did it like 3 times in a row and have never bothered with it since - no fun in exploits

[stallionsCEO]

So it’s not only me having the 50 metre penalty issue? Seems like a few people are having the same issue

[Super0066]

From reading here & BigFooty, some people have issues with the 50m while others don’t (personally I haven’t experienced weird 50m).

Everyone is on the same version of the game now so idk if it’s a bug or user error.

[stallionsCEO]

A bug as I loose the ability to control the players

[tigersmad]

Think Regarding the 50 mtr Pens, like someone said if you un control the player nearest to the mark it reduces the chance of giving a 50 mtr Pen

[stallionsCEO]

A few people have confirmed it is a ps5 issue.

[Ku33ie]

I’m PS5, and I don’t seem to get the issue you speak of.

Likewise, I never used to experience the ‘handpassing issue’ everyone banged on about, so it’s weird.

Anywho… best of luck with it all.

[stallionsCEO]

I did find another issue with the game but I’m not going to record it and make a ticket for it I’ll leave that up to someone else.

[Andii23]

What issue have you found?

[stallionsCEO]

Constant 50 meter penalties from the centre line that cause an instant goal moment for the ai team, players handballing when told to kick and the marking in the goal area is very broken. The best part is I recorded RP the entire gameplay too

[Andii23]

Yeah im getting the same problem as well surely its a bug on ps

[shlev]

Is anyone else coming across a glitch with some players lining up? They rub their hip, walk really slowly and then the release comes up quickly? It’s only happened since the last patch, mostly noticed on Tom Lynch

I’ve only seen it with one player -Brandon Ryan at Hawthorn. Thought it was an individual run up style and not a bug - but might record and send through anyway next time I’m on. Does take a while to get him rolling

[shlev]

Can confirm it’s for Aaron Naughton as well, Tom Lynch wasn’t like that pre patch

[Morrissa]

Just did some playthrough of management mode with the new patch that just came through for PS5; thanks Big Ant team for putting it together, there is a lot of improvement but still some areas to improve as I think everyone has been encountering. I will provide some feedback mainly on the management area as I know a lot of people have already addressed a vast number of game play bugs.

• Still getting a lot of errors in free agency and draft, an example is Marcus Windhager after being delisted, I sign him as a free agent; and it shows on player movement that he has gone to my club North Melbourne. However, then he appears in draft in which I can use all of my three picks in drafting Marcus Windhager multiple times - as he continues to appear on the draft list. This happens to a lot of players in draft and free agency.

• Mid-season rookie draft still has the same issues in which the draft order is messed around and I have no draft picks.

• Doesn’t seem to be many improvement or regression elements of player improvement or training through the year; I know this has been already addressed a lot but it feels like rookies are always rookies and star players continue to be star players; leading to imbalance in teams that doesn’t feel like it improves natually just more like random if you simulate games.

• All Australia is still strange as I am getting a lot of rookies in which Jackson Archer got into the all Australian team as well as a heap of other random players even though they only played a handful of games.

• Banners don’t seem to update during the run outs as the North Melbourne banner especially seems like it is still a work in progress (although maybe it is meant to be like that?)

• Would be great to see more options for trading and player management in general, as I feel a lot of people play management mode so its such a core element of the game and sporting titles in general.

Looking forward to the next patch update, and further enhancements and fixes!

Why do I play in front of a half empty stadium in the finals series? All finals games should be full or almost full. Such a simple fix but so annoying. Really good players also need to stop being delisted by clubs. Management mode is so unrealistic and unplayable right now
