The Immortals are the best looking cards by far.
Would be cool in the next game if we get more variations with different artwork similar to NBA2K but that’s obviously not a priority over gameplay and whatnot

Haven’t had a chance to play this season yet but the end goal for me is to get that Michael Hurley card !

100 % I will have to give it a run online hopefully the stats are able to counteract some of the OP key forwards and bring that ball to ground more often.

@DRebie I think we will see a big shift in Pro team card designs etc over the next year, with the introduction to Pro team on Cricket 24 around the new IPL season this year, I think I read. The revenue the game will make especially from the bigger world wide market, I feel they can outsource these types of cosmetic type tasks and concentrate on the delivering the best overall product with gameplay etc.

Exciting time ahead if you’re a fan of the mode.

Who’s here for the Dave3 v Dontargue showdown? The pre show entertainment is taking forever.

@dont_argue04 dont ignore me why did you refuse to play me

Are the 2025 teams in the game yet?

Lists aren’t even final yet mate.

Ok, thanks @Border thought they would be

Hi all, I’m yet to buy the game and it’s currently on sale for $40. I have both AFL Evo 1 & 2 and was wondering, now with the discounted price, if it’s worth buying?

Why are there so many negative reviews though?

When the game was first released it had lots of bugs, animations were bad

So is the game better now?

Yeah, it is better than it was, especially with pro team now in the game

If you like AFL games JRW you should definitely check it out.

The persistent negativity is a little complicated, stemming from a rocky launch, delays with the XBo release, a belief that BA needs to be more transparent and were not apologetic enough at the time (despite the fact most developers act the exact same way), a 6 - 8 month period where the patches were hit and miss and persistent tribalism where some remain loyal to the previous game to the point of absurdity and saltiness from some who drank the Kool Aid pre launch.

After all that, you still have some elsewhere that are adamant the game is a failure until it addresses their own personal laundry list and matches their head canon.

Two things worth noting - if the game as it exists today launched on all platforms back in May 23 90% of the drama wouldn’t have happened, and perhaps most tellingly, why is it that we’re in year two now of the negative camp saying they have ‘moved on’ while commenting on every little patch and current gameplay to a fair degree of detail. Kind of interesting.

And then you have the fact that most internet forums are for people wanting to have a whinge, while those that are happy just play the game. There will always be an imbalance.

No good if you want a good management mode, better off with Evo 2 for that

Hi team,
Has anyone been able to snag the ‘Hidden Objective’ reward yet?
Also, just checking if anyone else is having issues with the ‘all 18 teams’ objective not triggering? If it is working for others, then I will load a ticket as I have attempted it more than once with no cigar.
