AFL 23 - Megathread

It seems like I didn’t get anything, unless mine have popped without fail, but I got on first time for a while couple nights ago, and didn’t have any objectives pop that weren’t tracking.

But I’m glad it seems fixed, bring on season 3 and hopefully new minor tweaks ect :slight_smile:

In theory your reward(s) are on the way. Should be there soon.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I just like fire.

I have SOOOOOO many contract cards that I don’t need.

I understand that people got stuck early on, not managing their players and contracts… but now the whole system is flooded with them, making them pretty much redundant.
Which is great if you hated the concept, but bad if you liked it (like I did).

My perfect scenario would be to have it how it was… but to have a lower-tier game you could play to get yourself out of a pickle (like if you had run out of contracts and not enough players left to play).
i.e a game mode to play ‘for free’ (doesn’t cost your players a contract) but for less XP and less FP rewards… or explicitly just for a contract pack.

I dunno… is there any other reasonable way this could be done? Or something to replace contracts but still maintain the managing side of things somehow…?

Agree, the original contract system was hard but it forces you to use other players.

You basically see the same teams running around online now just because you have unlimited contracts to stack on your good players.

If I was in the big ant offices when they had to deal with so many players sooking up about it, I would have introduced coaches for your team.

There would be coach contracts too which would be a harder pull then regular contracts

No coach 0% boost on contracts added
State league coaches 25% boost on all contracts added per player
AFL coaches 50% boost on all contracts added per player
Premiership coaches (Rare drop) 75-100% boost on all contracts added per player

Just a suggestion :man_shrugging:

Yep I agree mate, I suggested something very similar during season 1. For me, it’s a much more balanced way for the game moving forward.

The main issue is, the vast majority of people are always looking for a way for things to be easier, instant and free. Have a look back through the thread and it doesn’t take long to realise most ‘feedback’ is essentially people wanting the game easier. Most want to play on Hardest, win every single game, get a diamond card in every pack and have every card needed for objectives gifted to them when needed etc…(not a personal dig at anyone btw, it just illustrates how difficult it is for BA to take on and apply feedback)

Well said, agree with all except the named objectives part. I’m new to the PT format but I’ve never seen in a game before so many objectives that you can’t physically complete. I’ve got 720 cards and seven objectives have just been sitting there for weeks. Googling player awards, buying the right packs…something just seems off locking away rewards like this.

You kinda just proved my point though. You want every card now so you can complete objectives…

Cards are drawn at random, sometimes you get the ones you need/want and sometimes you don’t. You either need to be patient to get more packs til you eventually get them or, god forbid, you miss out on the objective completely because it expires. It’s still entirely possible to get to level 40 without completing every one, it’s not compulsory to do them all.

Well said I’m 18 thousand from getting level 40 and I have 3 days left!

Good stuff mate! Only 4-5 games to get there!

Thanks mate yeah have been doing ladder leaders!

Right now there are three sapphire packs behind named players. Nothing to do with being ‘hard’ or ‘easy’, it’s a lucky dip. You seem to be rolling that into the same category as grinding for rewards which to me is a completely different thing.

Hey team,
As I am abstaining from loading up Pro Team until the new season starts (to avoid missed rewards potentially coming through for no benefit), are you at all able to tell me what date and time Season 3 is expected to launch?

I’m chomping at the bit to get back into it.

Thanks in advance :+1:

Thursday will always be the day for the changeover of things. Be that weekly rewards or Seasons.

Same point still stands. You want to be gifted those cards so you can chase those objectives/packs.

@Ku33ie won’t any potential rewards need to be claimed by you regardless of whether you log in or not? Trying to think of ones that would automatically be applied :thinking:

Yes, but seeing as there is an abundance of XP rewards that I am expecting would come in and I am at level 40 with this season, I don’t want them to come through now and not go towards anything.

Now I could be one of the unlucky ones who’s rewards that weren’t tracking are yet to come through, but I don’t want to run the risk.

I do love the grind. It’s a form of addiction :heart_eyes:
I’ve been able to develop quite a successful team without spending a single dollar so far, so want to make sure my efforts don’t go to waste by not getting the most out of my XP rewards

Just to clarify my point, when XP or packs are awarded, remember you have to go in and click claim for them to actually be credited to you. All I’m saying is it could be fine for you to log in, let them come through and leave them unclaimed. (I have a bunch of unlimited time ones sitting waiting to claim when the new season starts)

You can even leave card packs unopened in the store as well if you wish.

You also may have some rewards that come through that have a time element to them, ie they might be about to expire. Therefore once the new season starts they won’t come through anyway as they are expired. If any of these are card packs then you potentially lose these.

Hopefully that’s a bit clearer

I agree with the issue of people wanting a card NOW, for the objectives… although wish the specific-card based objectives were all unlimited… so people might get those cards in the future and tick them off.

I.e I’ll never get the Legends Season 2 objectives, because I don’t have those cards at the moment, but hope I pull them in the future and could still get them, maybe in Season 3 or 4.

Just don’t do what I did and click the wrong button to claim one of them instead of going back a screen…
