Are the 2025 teams in the game yet?

5975

Lists arenā€™t even final yet mate.

5976

Ok, thanks @Border thought they would be

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

Why are there so many negative reviews though?

5980

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

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 wouldnā€™t have happened, and perhaps most tellingly, why is it that weā€™re in year two now of the negative camp saying they have ā€˜moved onā€™ 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 ā€˜Hidden Objectiveā€™ reward yet?
Also, just checking if anyone else is having issues with the ā€˜all 18 teamsā€™ 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.

5988

Currently, around 50 people have gotten this one.
Itā€™s very specific.

Iā€™ve gone through a heap of the objectives, Iā€™m stuck on quite a few not tracking now which has made me come to a halt grinding to level 40.

I got the hidden objective my guess is it came up after I won a ladder leader comp, could be completely wrong though as it doesnā€™t tell you how you got it.

Worked for me. I made sure to have a player from each club in the starting 18, not just the 23. Not sure if that makes a difference.

5991

Thanks heaps folks. Yeah seems like I have just lucked out.

Oh well, means I need to put in more hours until it pops.

5992

Iā€™m one of the lucky 50 that have snagged the hidden objective so far. No idea what I did to get it though!
I havenā€™t won a ladder leader comp this season like @dont_argue04 so it wasnā€™t that for me.

While I will be away towards the end of the Season, maybe Iā€™ll drop a little hint for those who havenā€™t been lucky enough to get it.
