Anyone know what colour the hipwood sharpshooter is?
You see, the problem with this is youāve mostly made a bunch of stuff up. Games on the previous console generations were not hard to update. They have ALWAYS had interest in hearing feedback when itās presented in a reasonable manner. Itās the ones who carry on with over the top hyperbolic crap that get axed or ignored. As for the basic comment, how would you even know how basic anything is to update? JNT has even explained how complex it would be in this iteration. Again, the answer is there itās just not the one you want to hear so you ignore it. I reckon if I heard multiple times over many many months that there was going to be no further updates to the mode in this iteration Iād probably say ok hereās my feedback for the NEXT iteration if you make oneā¦. Iād like it if it had x,y,zā¦

If you donāt like the game or canāt play then the game isnāt for you. End of story. No need to complain this hard about a video game. I get people are passionate about afl but some of the things that have been said is outright rude & disrespectful. Because there video game isnāt 100% realistic to probably the hardest sport to create in a video game. You donāt need ālicensingā to make and AFL game plenty of nba & soccer games that arenāt licensed.

100%! Especially if it came with (even minor) fixes to management mode.
The default team lineups are still pretty whack - Dons with no McKay, Caddy, Durham, Perkins, Tsatas, etc in the starting side isā¦ odd.
Hobbs on a wing, Caldwell still listed a fwd for some reason, Caddy & Ridley not listed as key position types. Not sure if this sort of stuff is the same for other clubs but Iād assume so.
I see Tom Edwards has been added to the list (maybe because he was already in the game in a WAFL team?) but no other rookies, which is so disappointing.

my player didnāt sell in auction house, now itās just stuck there and i canāt relist it or get it out
Lodge a ticket with them.
Levi Ashcroft is on Brisbane
Even still, they wouldnāt make enough profit off it now. Destroying any hope of future releases. Which Iām sure then everyone will complain about. They may as well fix everything up for the next game where they can make a profit. We have to remember this is a business, as nice as it would be itās not logical to sink so much time, money and resources into a game that was killed hype wise at launch. What we really need is a fresh start.
They do have a lot of interest in making a good AFL game as well, why wouldnāt they?

How is everyone going with the MetaBreakers Champions?
So far I have 5 done - Bris, Coll, Geel, Melb and Nth Melb
No point of complaining anymore mate cause big ant do not care about the rest of the fans who play management mode and only care for the pro team fans and update it and recycling the same players over again. I was very disappointed cause i had high hopes and thought we going to have a different management mode but its the same generic mode like the evo games. I guess we cant tell big ant how we really feel and get our comments deleted. I have low expectations for the next game if they going to be. Funny how its still 100 bucks on steam

Too many people in here suck up so much and refuse to say one bad word about the game so they blindly just accept mediocrity. They expect everyone else to do the same so you get told off when you bring up a good point such as its not respectful to the consumer that you refuse to update a mode in your game that is broken.

Criticism of the game is fine.
We can all see gaps, and places where weād like improvement. (For me, my number 1 thing would be the Switch Player logic).
But Itās about doing it constructively and respectfully. Unfortunately for me, Switch Player isnāt getting an update in this game, and unfortunately for you, Management Mode isnāt getting an update either.
But we can both submit our ideas for fixes and improvements, and hope for a future that takes these into account.

The recycled players complaints about PT is just annoying to read, how about you look at the numbers
FC25 Ultimate team - Over 17,000+ players to choose from
AFL - 800 per season
Obviously it would be amazing to have players that go back to the inaugural 1990 season of the AFL but the behind the scene logistics would be a challenge.
So until these can be rectified and approved through the necessary parties, we just have to cop that different versions of cards have to be done.
Itās their first crack at PT with more learning to come from their other titles, I think itās a good first crack and it will only get better going forward.

Agree with Skeeta.
If your post reads like a set of suggestions, bugs and (specific!) issues from what I have seen it will stay.
If you snipe and criticize the company and say nothing of value or go on about old AFL games being a hundred times better then youāll probably get modded.
If you need to vent BF, FB and Reddit have been specialising in vitriol since launch. You are not stuck for choice. I imagine itās part of the reason why this board went live.
Sometimes JT will say that something doesnāt get done due to size of effort and there was a post once about needing to rewrite code from scratch in some areas. Clearly the game is in maintenance mode, itās not ideal but we are where we are and thereāll be limited returns making 23 stellar, especially if work has started on the next one.

Yeah he was weirdly already in the game - saw him pop up heaps as a draftable player in management mode, so who knows what the go is there.

Mate 9-10 months ago I mentioned in this forum that the down the line kicking was very robotic and it would be great if you could aim where you could place the kick into space, few months later they implement that new feature into the game.
So to say they donāt take on fan base suggestions is ludicrous.

This has been by far my favourite feature since returning to play.
@tazzahosk Itās the people like you who make such a big deal of everything that Border is constantly pulling up. āBye this is my last replyā, mate youāre not doing a mic drop get over yourself. Some one us have been in this forum from day dot, we lived through the days in here of PT delay, stuck in the mud movement and the XBOX ordeal. Weāre just so happy to see how far this game has come. Yes $100 is a bit steep, but Iāve for sure gotten my moneyās worth with how much Iāve played. Not once have BA called anyone an idiot, itās the way some people have approached their displeasure that is the problem.

TLDR except the end, guess Iāll catch you on one of your other accounts! 
Going to funny if a new game comes along and these people are still here, still complaining. Talk about doing the same thing and expecting a different outcomeā¦

Big Ant have never been smug in their replies to any of my suggestionsā¦ but then again, my approach to requests and suggestions hasnāt been the same as some others on hereā¦ 
There have also been plenty of my suggestions that havenāt had repliesā¦ that havenāt made it into this gameā¦ and for all I know, there MIGHT be good reason (i.e game balancing, risk of breaking other areas, time/effort/cost, other future plans etc.).
But I know not to bite the hand that feedsā¦ If I went on the attack, then logically, there is very little chance that my opinions will be heard.
For anything still missingā¦I donāt lose any sleep over itā¦ Iām not getting out my pitch-fork, or boycotting Big Ant gamesā¦
Itās a video game. For my $89 Iāve had a plenty to enjoyā¦ That amount doesnāt even cover date night with the missusā¦2 mains and a drink each is well over $100 at most placesā¦ so itās not about sucking upā¦ itās about being reasonable.

@JNT_BA I know Management mode and injuries have been flogged by a horse and itās been explained about them happening in game, but has the idea been raised at all about the injury occurring after the game has been played? Similar to how the injury tick happens after a sim.
