AFL 23 - Megathread

2 quick things I wanna chuck in here and see if anyone else has had similar issues.

1st is that my clearance work seems to be bugged. My ruck taps the ball and my mids just stand there while the ball rolls right past them just for the opposition mid to basically Teleport to it giving them a free clearance.

2nd thing has only happened a few times. I’ll be smashing someone in game and they very clearly disconnect because they rage quit however the game says it has lost connection to steam and it counts as a loss. Unless there is an exploit that players know to basically cause this, this needs to be adressed ASAP

Hmmm, can’t say I have Curnow, yet I’ve made progress.

Ah well, all part of the adventure.

I’ve had these clearance problems too, but I have a theory that a major part of it is down to the attributes of the players.
Against stacked mids like Bont, Mills and Rozee, my taps (when I rarely win them against Gawn) still get intercepted or my players leave it for them.

That’s what I’m saying about the visual feedback. I believe the game has decided (through whatever calculations of position, stamina, and player attributes) that they won the ‘pick up the ball’ contest… but there’s not a good animation to show that, and instead I visually see a player standing there like a witches hat.

Same again with tackling that @TysonDhd mentioned. The tackle is seen by the game engine to be poor (through poor attributes, timing and the kicker’s attributes) and it allows the kick (often with an after-the-moment tackle taking place, which you can see in a replay). Again, maybe a better (or more) animations to show this… and maybe some tweaking to the outcome of the kick… could overcome this. So yeah, maybe not ideal, but with my theory, I wouldn’t say ‘broken’.

Do you aim your tap with the right stick, if im losing ill mix up the position on the stick I hit too, I run with a emerald Riley O’Brien and Grundy off the bench and i’m beating other players Gawn sapphire card.

I find hitting to space on centre bounces gives my players to get the tap to advantage.

Some do, some did, some don’t.

That Big Comeback objective appears to be in the ‘don’t’ category.

Tried to go on the game this morning and am getting this message when I try to login

My Eagles line up on my older PS name. (best line up without a dime spent)

Share your team through the PlayStation and post the quick code so teams can go up against it mate

Edit - Starting a push for Stallions Team to be a Coach Battle -

‘Rags to Riches - Defeat Stallions Team and win 5 Emerald Contracts’

Or even an Objective - beat Stallions team on each difficulty to collect 2000 XP & 5 Super Emerald Contracts

I’ll try and upload both tonight. My lions one was more a test bed and the mistakes from that I’ve learned and improved in my Eagles one.

SO do teams that get upload get rewarded for winning or losing like maybe some XP gain?

@JNT_BA any chance you could elaborate on the finals in premiership challenge? Im currently 4th on the ladder and wondering what happens in 20 days?

Happy to report Backline General Defender Objective just popped for me!

That is really good to hear mate.
Been smashing out a heap of ladder leader games to knock off as many objectives as possible (those 15min games are great for those), so I am hoping to log in tonight after work and get a nice little present of all these XP, FP & Card Packs waiting for me :crossed_fingers:

I’m trying to see how far I can get without dipping into my skyrocket until the legends hit out screens

Still no go for me on PC

Can someone answer me

If you give a bit more detail then perhaps someone might be able to answer….

I believe you will be kicked out to the spash screen, and then logged in again as the new user. Haven’t tried it, but just guessing.

The quick code for my lions team is: H4VL9A

Is it just the new booster emerald or are there new cards out ??? @JNT_BA

I’m not going to reveal all the secrets all the time :rofl:
