Ya know the funny thing is this is my first account on here lmao and if you dont want to believe that then thats fine also the all caps words you have in your post just make you seem a bit angry about something that is fair for people to be critical of
Iām pay them not to add the Adelaide and GC ones.
Jokes! Just jokes. Those new logos are amazing
Itās really not about fancy, particularly innovative updates to management mode, most people just want the glaring errors fixed - which is absolutely reasonable.
You get to the draft and many, many key position players/ruckmen are listed at around 180cm. Voting for the Brownlow, AA side, Rising Star, etc are all broken. Player ages, games played, and many other stats are also cooked.
Gotta laugh at how the same people wanting to kick others for requesting fixes to a game mode they enjoy are ones āwhingingā about errors in PT that they also want fixed.

None of us know the codebase, so while you think these may be tiny updates, they may actually be large sections of code, or logic that could potentially break other areas.
We also donāt know their internal processes.. so during a possible triaging of these reports, they may have put these things into a backlog, or given it a lower priority.
My guess is that the cost/risk/benefit was all weighed up.
At the end of it all, they have clearly made a decision that itās not currently being looked at, and that has been communicated to us multiple times.

Thereās a lot of broken keyboards around this placeā¦
@SaintSkeeta you have the patience of a Saint buddy, something I clearly donāt possess 
.
Have never said any management mode feedback isnāt valid, Iām sure anything thatās been delivered in a reasonable manner has been welcomed, perhaps for another iteration even. Who knows??
Cracks me up every time people demanding and whining for an update to this iteration when theyāve said multiple times it aināt happening. Move on people.
As for me ripping into people (or person perhaps?) Itās hilarious them getting bent out of shape when I simply reply in the EXACT tone or language they have used in their own post. Iāll add in a token lol at the end to make it sound like Iām finishing on an acceptable level lol

Itās funny, you all are mentioning how you keep getting bannedā¦ yet youāre here nearly every hour asking the same questions over and over that have already been answered multiple times. @Border is entitled to his opinion us much as you all are, heās just stating what has been said for the 1000th time over and over again and somehow youāre all getting more volatile every time because you just canāt take no for an answer?

I love how you people complain about criticism and comments getting deleted when its your own comments that get deleted for breaking the rules. If I delete āyourā criticism itās cause you broke one, if you donāt think there is other criticism of the game in this thread you may need to really understand what what word means. If you canāt separate criticism of a game in a game specific area and criticism about things not about the game. Thatās on you.

Yeah and they are gone. Multiple rules breaks noted by the mods. Many deleted posts, goodbye.
@JNT_BA Serious question though through all the whinging and whining, have the management mode bugs previously mentioned been looked into at all? If so, have there been roadblocks in the coding that donāt allow for these to be fixed? You know me by now that Iām not one to complain but Iād love some closureš

Through the updates there are usually small things we do update we may not mention. Yes there have been management mode updates to things, when the support team gets reports they all run through me one way or another and we update things. Usually small things that can break the a career if 1000 choices match and it would have been catastrophic. You guys even saw some small updates we did in one of the patches where we added some screens and readouts people were requesting. It may not be what everyone wantsā¦ but thatās an impossible task cause we all want different things, even me.
As mentioned a long time ago, there will not be any updates to management mode on a massive scale.

A simple thing like injuries in gameplay canāt be added in management mode? Just to make it slightly better
Unfortunately thatās not a āsimpleā thing in this case or else it would already happen.
We have injuries in Rugby 25 during gameplay and that was a massive undertaking and months of work. Itās not player hit = injury, itās tonnes of other knock ons that add up to significant time investment.
Now that Rugby 25 has one it means we have the skeleton for the future if we do other titles. But that really depends on working with our partners about what they would like in the game as well.

@JNT_BA Yeah absolutely fair, I could imagine that would be the case. Iām yet to start a new management mode file, so once the new roster update comes out Iāll give it a run and see if I notice the slight changes.
When you say partners do you mean afl doesnāt want it in the game? No one wants injuries but unfortunately it happens in sports and itās a reality and would make a huge difference to management mode and it is in every major sports video game
This is great to hear! Appreciate you sharing what you can @JNT_BA , Iām sure it must feel like people are constantly shooting the messenger around here (Iām no doubt guilty of that as well).
āIF we do other titlesā isnāt exactly music to the ears - fingers crossed thereās an AFL26 on the cards, as thereās enormous potential to build on what is now a really enjoyable AFL game overall.
Really looking forward to the roster updates, along with whatever small fixes are possible in management mode.

I can agree with you on there is potential to build off of but in terms of AFL23 being an enjoyable game Iād have to disagree as Iāve found myself going back to Evolution 2 and finding that to be a better game.

Game announcements never happen in casual forum chats.
IF there is any future game, weāll probably hear it from the Big Ant socials, or Rossā Twitter.
Yeah I really enjoyed Evo 2 as well, particularly the physicality & far better career/management type modes. Being able to edit individual player attributes was a big one, it adds so much longevity to a modern sports game.
Really hope that BA gets another crack at AFL titles because thereās so much to build on from what theyāve already accomplished. I do worry that the state of the game when it was released & the reviews that followed has really hurt the chances of future investment from the league, but I guess weāll see.

BA have the license, unless there are local developers beating down the door itās really hard to see a foreign company who could care less about the sport seeing dollar signs.
The āother companyā only got in the door because they offered to do it for cheap. Took them eight tries to get to Evo 2. It had some good features sure but the free pass they get elsewhere is nuts imo. The opposition AI has a fraction of the code.
