Big patch and worth jumping on to try it :wink: ??

Check store? Objectives maybe?

Have you spotted it yet, or too tricky? lol

I’ve had a good look haha I’m in a game atm, I’ll have another look through the menus. Only thing I noticed was Ladder leader menus have been moved higher up the screen haha (I’m sure that’s not it though haha )

So with this update, the UI team added a requested feature for how packs work. This will allow you to store packs in your inventory rather than being forced to open them immediately or when you go to the store page.

You can also now manage how your boosts work and can switch out what is active at the current time. Allowing you to choose when you want to use specific ones or change between them if you are super sure of the win or want a little more risk.

Some other things as well, check Twitter later for more.

Awesome, I definitely asked for that !! Good idea to hold onto for future cards that will be released. Good addition !

Oh wow seems like a good update indeed, I love the fact you can hold packs for a later time thats awesome :slight_smile:

I wonder what else is included, I’ll have to check it out on Twitter and hope for patch notes :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

When is there going to be an update to anything but pro team? Are we getting updated guernseys to management mode? Updated stadiums like the Gabba with its glass verandah area. Any news on player career?

Pro team is cool and all but I like to play the game in management

Most of those were answered a long time ago.
Management mode is not a focus.
No more stadiums will be added/updated.
No single-player career is planned for this game as mentioned by Ross last year.

I haven’t looked at the page here for ages so I didn’t see that my apologies.

Will we tho get 2025 season for management mode at all?

You can filter topics and certain keywords like management mode with the search bar at the top of this page. You can filter who even writes each post. So you can see all previous posts made by @JNT_BA for anything you have missed.

@JNT_BA when you say check twitter later to see what else is new in the patch, when is later?? :slight_smile:

I get that but even little things like when you play finals have the timer area gold. I might just be ocd but like I don’t enjoy pro team and I’d rather have fun in management mode etc

While Pro Team may not be everyone’s favorite mode, it’s important to recognise that it has become the cornerstone for all other modes in the game.

The additional revenue generated from Pro Team is likely being reinvested into the development team and resources, ultimately enhancing the overall gaming experience for us all.

The developers seem genuinely committed to making Pro Team their flagship mode, and with just a year or two of development behind it, there’s still plenty of room for growth and improvement.

For those of you wanting the more detailed traditional modes, I assure you that they are likely to appear in future titles.

In the meantime, i’m sure we can look forward to exciting updates in 2025 that will probably introduce:

  • New draftees
  • Latest fixtures :ok_hand:

Glad I paid for something they promised and never delivered

Hi, hopefully I can get someone with knowledge or an admin to reply to this.
When will the 2025 fixture and club lists update be out?
Also a big thing I feel is missing is when creating a custom club with players already in the game, you should be able to adjust their guernsey number, added Cumming to the Crows list, so now I have two 13’s running around, unrealistic!
I also feel as if custom teams should be allowed to replace actual teams within the actual management mode.

Out of curiosity, would a creating your own fixture feature be possible? Just so when I am playing certain games for fun with my custom teams, at the start of every single game it doesn’t go, “welcome to this pre-season match”, not every game is a pre-season match y’know?

Hope to hear back from someone with my points, I feel they are all necessary features to enhance the game.

Never say never but every AFL game in history has released their season patch in March or April, I doubt we’ll see anything different here.

The game is well and truly in caretaker mode, great that it’s active but I doubt we’ll see much beyond minor tweaks and fixes. Especially since it doesn’t appear to take much for there to be a major regression in the code.

Crystal ball time - I reckon BA would be champing at the bit to start on AFL 26 and rebuild the code from the ground up but the idea of Nacon opening up the cheque book is in the ‘maybe’ column. So we’ll get another version for sure, but when and with what budget exactly is TBC.


Had a game with the patch, there are some new objectives and presumably some new cards (just guessing). The patch was over a gig but it doesn’t feel like anything has changed gameplay wise.
