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 I’m missing?
Looks like there’s bumping animations that haven’t seen before (…?? 
), but I’m not noticing any of that in the games I’ve played.
Anyway, now that I’m giving it another go, I love that you can really get going with some slick link-up play on the outside, it’s good fun and has that genuine feel of a realistic game footy. There’s plenty to like and it’s 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 don’t think I’ve 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 tackles…and we never see them again? It wouldn’t 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 - it’s a legit glitch that really shouldn’t 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? Wasn’t Champion Data involved in this game? Weird that you can’t click on a player to view their individual stats.
I mean I guess it’s fine, it just feels like something you’d 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 who’s 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 fan’s perspective with no comprehension of how difficult this stuff is.
I just don’t understand these omissions at all, it honestly feels like the nerdy stuff to the game like stats, player development, menu layout, etc just hasn’t been given any love at all.
The team selection stuff is whack and you can’t 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?
I’d be more than happy to pay for an AFL25 if there was one coming out (would’ve loved that!) but given we seem to be rolling with this version for another year, I’d love to hear some positive news about other developments. 
glad you have the great man in your collection
