AFL 23 - Megathread

I would call that recent personally but yeah I get it. Please try again.

Hoped on and it’s working now. Guessing it was fixed this morning.

Daily Login Rewards
Ladder Leaders grouping
Setting to disable voice chat (Steam)
Polished display of consumables

So two major things and some smaller changes have been added for this update.

The first of which is a weekly reward structure.
What you should see will be slightly different than this, as this was a snapshot from a while ago.


Make sure to remember to claim those rewards!

The second thing is a QOL change for Steam. You can directly mute all voice communication. This has been a requested change, especially from Streamers, for some time to be able to disable all voice communication. This will also be rolled out to our other titles as updates go out for them as well.

Some updates in some other areas as indicated above. With the biggest change adding some grouping on Ladder Leaders to make this easier to navigate.

Silly me. Thought it might actually be gameplay improvements

It’s progress Dylan! I can see how these changes were a priority.

Also habouring a suspicion that it will just be minor tweaks using the dev version of the sliders until the next full release, time and again minor changes have led to a regression in other parts of the gameplay.

Great idea with the daily logins, and the daily streak icon at the top!

LL groupings definitely make it less cluttered too.

I love the daily reward system and its a great addition but just one thing,

If you go into the My Pro Team tab and select the daily rewards tab it did end up causing my game to crash. Might just be a individual problem though.

Edit: Tried again and all is working now, must’ve just been something individual rather than a overall issue.

Nice work on the changes to Pro team @JNT_BA I mentioned back in September about incorporating Daily objectives to keep the fan base loyal and return each day, great to see this was implemented !

Although everyone’s want\wish list items don’t come straight away I could imagine the whiteboard is full of ideas and changes for all aspects of the game. :ok_hand:

Just had a few games.I like the update, it feels like progress but I think you’re UI person needs to chill. Either they love intricate menus or they are not playing this title as a regular gamer.

  1. Objectives, arguably the single most visited menu option, is no longer at the top of the list.
  2. Ladder Leaders now feels like visual hopscotch as you dart in and out of sub menus looking for the right length and difficulty for your next game. If you don’t like a given match (hello 15m easy), you are sent back to the start of the LL menu and you have to remember what ladder you looking at to continue in sequence.
  3. You are now returned to the start menu after completing an LL game and have to go in and find the game you played to get the reward. This is a real head scratcher.

I think the fixes are easy.

  1. Objectives is way overdue for existing on the PT root menu, especially now after this change.
  2. LL needs to tell what what your next game is without selecting the comp. There’s plenty of real estate to do this.
  3. Can’t we just get the LL reward automatically like in Coach Battles? What is the benefit of this being a manual process given it happens every single time you play a match (as opposed to levelling up which happens less often and is for a much cooler reward).

I’ve had three crashes on PS5, no doubt this will get looked at. Fortunately they all happened after finishing a match which is a minor inconvenience. No progress was lost.

Also in game it feels like circles are thicker? Or were they removed and they returned. They feel different and I’m not sure why. Probably embarrassing when I find out.

I’d take the cleaner look in the menu system but that’s just a personal opinion.

The only menu screen I want is the objectives menu added to the pause screen, so you can check mid game how your tracking.

Always things we keep quiet! :shushing_face:
But nothing to announce yet.

While it’s still quite far away, I’ve been playing around with the next season’s stuff. Some very interesting things in Season 5 since I’ll be away for a little before it comes out been trying to get as much time with it as possible, I’m sure it will change lots while I’m away though.

Speaking of being away for a bit… you got any clues to drop on that ā€˜Hidden Objective’ in Pro Team? :wink:

Hoping it’s not ā€˜play 15m quarters on easiest with players ranked obsidian and above’.
