Looking forward to the new patch. For those PC users, how is it going? I am eager to see the AI decision making improve a bit, and the ability to skip the coin toss. @JNT_BA are the coin toss characters just randomly generated, or are they legit people? Surely we can get @Chuckinho added as a character for all his community work :stuck_out_tongue:

If we had the setup ready when he was in Melbourne would have been awesome to get him in!

They’re all real people from previous photogrammetry sessions.

That’s good to hear - no disrespect to the original fella but we all got very sick of seeing him. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for one of them rolling onto the field with a Boss Coffee can in hand - surely yourself and Ross are out there.

Pretty sure I am. Ross, I’m not sure about, guess there will be some surprises for me in my future games! But when I was looking at the code there was a large number added. It’s always fun for me to work out who they were while I was playing this patch during development.

You do know that we’ll need to see a real life photo of you to compare the artwork from within the game? :wink:

As for Ross, we’ve seem him pop up in many BA games of the past. The amount of times that man has fired me in Cricket it beyond belief! :rofl:

During development I was a fill-in umpire who had this neck tattoo. Made me think about getting one, I thought I looked pretty good with one.

As for a photo, na. Although there is a video out there where you see me for a maybe a second.

Im pushing to be one of the ones in Cricket as well :rofl:

My claim to fame is falling over a gutter in the background of a drunken arrest in Territory Cops a few years back - not quite video game character level like yourself :rofl:. One day when the tech can handle it, it will be awesome if sports games can add fan faces into the crowd. I remember the WWE Thunderdome back in the COVID days

Looking at the deep dive video for fc24 the devs seem to be using some form of marker less motion capture or volume metric to capture player movements and animations. With cameras placed all around stadiums @JNT_BA is the big ant team looking at or would consider something similar in the future seeing stadiums are in easy reach and if you have the the support of the afl could be someone that could be done? How nice would it be if we got the privilege of capturing all the little animations of the Messi of the AFL.

New patch has definitely been a noticeable change in the game IMO.

I feel like the difficulty has been amped up again, I got belted 3 games in a row last night on hardest. Might have to drop it back down a level, which isn’t a bad thing!

Marking is a lot more difficult, can’t just clunk everything now. Almost like the timing window has shortened, not a bad thing I don’t think.

Which means spoiling is going to get used a bit more now as well.

Noticed a lot more fumbled / dropped marks which I liked, feels more natural.

New goal kicking meter looks nicer, I’m still personally getting used to timing it all well.

I noticed when searching for an online game that a message popped up saying crossplay can now be enabled, is this fully in the game now @JNT_BA or is it a placeholder message of sorts?

One thing I did notice is the AI were extremely accurate again last night, basically didn’t miss a shot, even in pouring rain and high winds. Hopefully that can be adjusted.

The other very random thing I noticed @JNT_BA was the very first game I played post the patch update, the scoreboard hud in game was set to off by default, had to pause and go into the menu and put it back on. Only a small thing but just thought it was odd that it defaulted to being off.

I thought handballing was better last night, more so getting one out wider from tight situations. But as I have said a few times I don’t think I have had many issues in stringing together handball chains anyway.

Hmm the no HUD thing is interesting I’ll have a look.

As for the message… stay tuned for more announcements :rofl:

I’ve met JNT-BA, didn’t take a photo though.
It could be much worse than having JNT_BA in the game, you could have me in the game… (Maybe just search for ā€œSenhor Chuckinhoā€ under Players in Community.)
If only the photo mob were about when I visited Big Ant. I would have had to work on the hair and makeup though :wink:
Saying that I really don’t need to be in the game, I’m on the tv a bit at the moment during Swans games, including the occasional meme it would seem.

I’ve noticed that when the AI mark just inside 50, on the 50 or outside of 50 they never take a shot. They will stand there for sec look to kick into teammate in their 50. As soon as it’s in there they will line up for a set shot.

Is that something that is known? It kinda kills the excitement if your a goal ahead or whatever it may be, the AI raises down marks on the 50 line then nothing. They aim for a target i out mark and that excitement leaves. If they lined up for set shots outside 50 or on 50 it would be much more exciting in those close games. The
