AFL 23 - Megathread

i feel like no effort was put in management mode like if your not gonna have a player career mode at lease make management mode good.

Two days to go. Hopefully for everyone’s sake the patch improves gameplay, and the more general improvements reflect the 6 months of extra development time they’ve had to finish this thing.

Cricket was a carbon copy of 22 with small updated features, not exactly groundbreaking stuff. Rugby and tennis delayed massively with little to no communication again and no updates on AFL. I think bugger all is right considering how far behind on everything they are

It is almost the 19th. Time will tell.
I mean I hate the ideal of being creative on a deadline which is why I don’t work in Graphic Design anymore.

I know just as much as everyone else but I would doubt that it’s a 12am update tonight, hopefully early-ish arvo or even morning if we are lucky.

Actually very keen to see what its going to include, ideally a good combination of a few fixes and some new content but from what has been described in the roadmap ā€œGameplay and Season Fixture update including photogrammetry of players attending the draft at Marvel Stadiumā€ there really isn’t much to discuss in particular the Gameplay Update(s).

In about 24 hours from now I guess we will have a much better idea of what the direction of the game going forward will be, I am excited to see the patch notes tomorrow (I hope we get patch notes) and to test it out after all these months without an update. Not long to go now!!!

I wonder what time we get the update, I have a good feeling about this one. They have been quiet for a while, the timing has been good. Everyone’s in the footy mood after round 1, they for sure planned this out.

Apologies guys. I’ve locked the patch notes thread as I would always do. If we can keep the conversations going here rather than there to keep it all in one place would be great.

Has anyone got the new patch yet and if so what are some early thoughts about it :slight_smile: ??

I have it on Steam and I’m loving it. Having only just got the game a week ago I’ve had little experience pre-patch but the difference in flow and actually enjoying the game in noticable. Getting the ball out from stopages has improved out of sight IMO. Big fan of this patch. Really well done. :star_struck:

Can’t wait to give the new patch a spin tonight. :muscle:t2:

Patch is good, well done Big Ant. What a relief!

For the sake of the partially sane afl gaming community, can you please PLEASE snapshot this build, make 50 backups and store them in a secure remote location. We need this to be the new baseline and if exciting new features break the game one day, this is where we go back to.

That sounds very very promising
I could ask some questions, but I’m going to refrain until I have a chance to look at it myself. I’d encourage everyone else to do the same :wink:

From anyone that’s played the new update, how is the interchange auto rotations and are their any visible players on the bench in game?

The last few weeks I have been playing, I have noticed some frame rate issues when playing, I don’t think it was like this previously, but I haven’t been savvy enough to fix it yet.

Any thoughts on where I could tweak settings?

The other piece I haven’t tried is updating the graphics driver too.

Won the a custom season GF last night and looking forward to the new update!

In regards to player movement, feels like double speed and it took a game or two to get used to but the more offloads instead of ball ups or holdings is a welcome addition. Im playing on steam and only picked up the game a few days ago, in game my fps looks stuck in the 40’s, ive tried moving around all the graphics settings and no real changes… Any tips from anyone?

Haven’t played new patch yet (just my luck today is my one forced office day for the month).

Does the patch clash at all with existing careers and/or save files? Saw a comment elsewhere saying to delete all seasons before playing or it wipes 2024 player defaults and roles. Was gonna continue my current manager mode until the lists are finalised in next patch but don’t want to break the game

@JNT_BA @RossSymons

Can we surely get online interchange please
And be able to use custom teams.

Should have been apart of this update. Very easy to turn on for online play

For the next patch can they add trainings and tutroals

AFL games are notoriously difficult to run at high FPS. I’ll never forget the day I loaded Evo 1 for the first time on a GTX1080 - a decent build at the time - and it was a freaking slideshow.

Don’t have any answers sorry but I feel your pain, especially considering any AFL game at 144mhz is twice as fun to play.
