@JNT_BA when the full fixture for 2025 comes out can we expect an updated season and management career mode for 2025 fixtures would really love to play the full fixture and season

I started to think you were about to semi imply a new game was on the cards…then I got to that last sentence : (

2.53 GB Update file incoming……

So there is a gameplay change in this one for those who may want a little more control over kick targeting, but this system works very fast and may not be for everyone but I certainly had some fun playing around with it.

If you do want to play around with it I would suggest Manual With Hud to make sure you get what you are seeing.

When you make a Pass Kick for example, and you are holding a direction you will see a circle target which will indicate much more visually where you want your kick to go, this has been fun to play with to get some passing going where I’m trying to avoid congested players on the field.

99 Reasons to reach level 40 on this one!

There’s 2 new LL as well.

Sounds like a good addition, my understanding it’s basically kicking to space and allowing your players to run onto it, rather then a kick down the line to a standing contest ?

It’ll help in situations where you want to kick it into certain spaces for sure, or get a more precise distance on the kick for a leading target. Adds a bit more of a skill curve to get the benefits out of it in my opinion.

Yeah awesome, I definitely had a suggestion few months back for something similar like this. Glad it’s been implemented :ok_hand:

Keen to play around with it !

Keen is an understatement.

Is there any indication of which ‘legends’ are going to be included in Season 3?

I sorta like that Sapphie and Diamond packs are the hard slog in either Premiership Challenge or Level Progression. Otherwise, they’ve surely gotta cost like 100k Footy Points or like 20k coins if they’re added to the store…

i agree with that but considering we’ve now got 99 overalls would it not make sense to increase premiership and level progression rewards to higher tier packs so then there is still a valuable aspect to those, but for players with already good teams they can upgrade them a decent amount with sapphire packs in store.

while i like parts of the new season, i noticed apart from the patrick cripps the rest of the levels are relatively the same tiers and rewards as last season from what i saw

My first crack at Season 3 and the new Manual Kicking gameplay.

What part is that again mate? :slight_smile:

Bias as an Essendon supporter but would love to see a jobe watson as a level 40 card

feel like the face scanning or whatever is used wouldn’t be too hard since he’s still involved with afl through commentary

Just watched a bit of the gameplay, I have to be honest this addition changes the way the game looks and feels. Always annoying when your looking to kick to space or a lead over the back, now thats eliminated and will feel more like an AFL Live of old

Wondering what the logic is behind the different animations for the pack openings?

I was happy with the first one, but then they introduced the lightning effect and now I see there is a freeze effect.
Is this going to be a season by season thing, or just that you have a budding meteorologist on the books there at Big Ant?
