AFL 23 - Megathread

@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.

Turning VSync off got me the biggest framerate boost.

Also someone recently mentioned turning the ball trail setting to off is supposed to help. See if that works.

Adding a new custom logo and I click on the page icon to add and it automatically adds this logo

Folks,

PSA - when you download the patch delete any saved seasons that you have. If you load them it screws up the new team positions and you’ll be editing it from scratch in the academy. Understandable but still something that probably should have been made crystal clear in the patch notes.

Not a bad update, showing promise.
Controls MUCH better.
This is much more like the game we expected and were promised.
Tackling still a little finicky at times.
Unfortunately the headless chook off-the-ball AI movement is untouched and probably stands out even more now that so much has been improved.
Sometimes less is more. Players walking or jogging at times rather than crazy ants at ALL times…
Also, I can’t help but think slowing down player movement/ game speed might help (with everything).
I’d like to see if we can’t get some more packs forming around the ground in marking contests. Inside 50 and on the wings, down the line.
It’s just a bit too 1on1.
Otherwise mostly positive.

My kicking skills with the big kick have disappeared. almost everything goes out of bounds on the full. Not sure if it is my kicking or something else…

Being able to play the new patch and its improved but it still doesnt play out like a real game of footy.
Too many headless chooks and not enough packs forming down the wing and forward lines, and not enough crumming.
The AI also feel the need to play on at all costs especially when not under pressure.
Sometimes locking onto players to kick to will unlock, causing you to spray the kick.
Also hearing some weird frog noise coming from the crowd?

Why is the ratings for players getting worse, like why is Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson 86 overall and Nick Daicos only 88. the ratings were good all we needed were the rookies like why is keidan Coleman a 79 and Lachie Neale a 89 when Hugh mcluggage is 91, now all team ratings are really low

I’m still getting ā€œYou’re restricted from using communication featuresā€ when trying to use quick code for Academy.

Suffice to say that I am big enough and ugly enough for this not to be the case…

I have a few mixed feelings about this update, on one hand I love the new way the players move around the ruck contest, I still dislike the interchange and I still don’t love that there’s no way to train your players to get their overall skills up. But in saying all this it feels like a step in the right direction and with some time and optimism and definitely work it’ll become what we all wanted it to be

When will there be updates to management mode? Drafting can be a pain because players don’t seem to retire, and you can’t sort the lists, the cap space doesn’t seem to actually restrict you.
The update is great, the gameplay is a lot more fluid and fun. However I can’t change difficulty to hardest and the AI doesn’t seem to actually attack once it gets past center on hard. Cheers

when i played the first game in season mode the commentators still thought ut was 2023 can big ant update the commentrary

Played my first game of the new update today - have to agree, the changes to gameplay have been great. You can link up plays a lot easier, the ball moves around much smoother and so much quicker. I don’t like that I can no longer just mark and smack the ball away without getting pinged, but in contested footy I guess that’s never easy without going back on your mark. Looking forward to the next phase of the update with the full lists and hopefully some updates to manager mode

Performing a snap shot at goal (L2 + O) is impossible without getting tackled first, the kick radar is too slow. All I want to do is perform a snap goal in play with Charlie Cameron, despite his high speed and agility, I can never get him into space. He will always get tackled when having a shot or it will spray out on the full.

@JNT_BA Not sure if it’s been picked up or mentioned, but the difficulties are off. When I select hardest, on the pre match screen where Start Game, Uniforms are etc it shows Hard. I tested by selecting other difficulties and it shows the difficulty below.

exactly the same for me when I am playing management mode and it is way too easy when I put it on hardest because it changes to hard.

Finding more and more new issues. Everytime I try and change team starting lineups in academy, the game crashes. There are also duplicates of every player traded in the off-season but with different guernsey numbers.
