Have only just started properly playing this game again after a few months off.
Currently 2nd season into a management mode career, are there some updates Iām missing?
Looks like thereās bumping animations that havenāt seen before (ā¦?? 
), but Iām not noticing any of that in the games Iāve played.
Anyway, now that Iām giving it another go, I love that you can really get going with some slick link-up play on the outside, itās good fun and has that genuine feel of a realistic game footy. Thereās plenty to like and itās miles ahead of where it started.
Being able to custom edit gameplay settings has changed everything for the better as well. Huge tick there.
I donāt think Iāve seen a single suspension yet, though. And how are there still no injuries in games you actually play? Is that a glitch, or a deliberate decision for some reason?
And where are the match highlights? All these great marks, fend offs and bruising tacklesā¦and we never see them again? It wouldnāt need commentary but just some qtr time & post game highlights would add more excitement to the game for sure.
The main thing that drives me nuts though are all the glaring smaller errors.
Honestly, what is going on with the stats?
The in-game player stats are usually either irrelevant or incorrect - itās a legit glitch that really shouldnāt still be in the game by this point.
And then when you get to match/player summary stuff at the breaks, how difficult is it really to mirror the type of stats & layout that appear in the AFL app? Wasnāt Champion Data involved in this game? Weird that you canāt click on a player to view their individual stats.
I mean I guess itās fine, it just feels like something youād see from any early 2000s version of the game (could say that for a lot of the menus and general layout IMO).
Fantasy points are easy to calculate and have become a hugely popular metric for fans to assess player impact - that needs to be in there for suuure BA!
No VFL results or stats to let you know how players are progressing and whoās putting their hand up for selection? Man I miss that.
No training? Even something basic where you can again level up players but risk injury depending on intensity stuff.
And most of all, no ability to edit player stats every week? Good grief, this would add SO much to the game! I realllly hope this will be built in at some stage.
I have no idea about game development at all so all of this purely from fanās perspective with no comprehension of how difficult this stuff is.
I just donāt understand these omissions at all, it honestly feels like the nerdy stuff to the game like stats, player development, menu layout, etc just hasnāt been given any love at all.
The team selection stuff is whack and you canāt transfer things like the second ruck setting properly.
@JNT_BA I fully understand that the focus is all on Pro Team right now, but can fans expect to see innovation and further work put into the game in these areas?
Iād be more than happy to pay for an AFL25 if there was one coming out (wouldāve loved that!) but given we seem to be rolling with this version for another year, Iād love to hear some positive news about other developments.

Great suggestions.
I think itās limited time and money. Surely we have crossed the threshold for a sequel, will be interesting to see what new features make the cut considering there is so much to be done.
Assuming they fix the stats with an update to 23, the number one priority for me is a better system for contesting the ball. Pack marks, tackles, rough play, there are some promising animations and sometimes you get to plan ahead but thatās about it.The rest is a crap shoot a lot of the time.

Nice work.
I was lucky to score the bronze Rookie card of Hurley a while back, so now itās a hunt for the others.

I love being 6 goals up, and then disconnecting from the match and having it be counted as a loss.
Absolute joke of a game, and the fact that it hasnāt been addressed or fixed is disgraceful.
Over half my matches end in a disconnect, almost always me disconnecting, never the opposition, and always when Iām winning.
This page is as quiet as the trade period todayā¦ or actually the whole trade period 
You lost the Slience game!!! Everyone else is still in it, wonder who will last longest

To add to this, Iām yet to receive any trade offers coming back the other way.
Also, the AA team is just 18 players, no bench.
And the Brownlow top 20 is essentially all ruckman.
Man I hope we see some of these glitches rectified soonā¦
Youāll bolt it in mate - carefully use what you get at level 38 and youāll fly through the last two!
Is there anyone else here struggling with the weekly objective āTackle Bagā ??
I put on least 60-70 tackles in a match, and yet objective says none 
Known issue. Some work, some donāt. Some come to life after a while or appear to count only after itās a certain type of game. The question I have is, why canāt problematic objectives be weeded out before making prod.
While Iām here, am I going mad or does Buddy have a super torp? Something appears to time out and he kicks straight as an arrow.

More sort options for cards - thanks @JNT_BA

Wonder what it is? @JNT_BA can you enlighten us? 
My guess is : Itās to fix the bugs in objectives??

Yuppers, this was preparation for some new cards and sets we have been working on.
There are a few players in there I will be aiming for!
There are no gameplay updates in this one, but some things have changed internally that need more testing online. It feels really good in single-player, but we need to be sure it feels good in online as well.
