Yeah these settings made it really tough.
Probably a few more tweaks needed I reckon though… but it’s harder than Hardest now.

So give your YT video with them sliders a go?? 
Really enjoying the patch BA and thank you for including the spectate option which I do enjoy. Would be great if someone could put together some decent sliders for cpu v cpu.
On another note I see that the ‘frog’ croaking in the background is still present lol.
Some thoughts on interchange- At the moment the quick interchange is quite useless as everytime the play resets, there is a cutscene or the player lines up for a setshot, the quick interchange menu disappears. Would be good to be able to bring up quick interchange and make changes during the ai setshot and it stay there until you are finished.
Also The auto option on the quick interchange doesn’t seem to register, and the position selection for an interchange player is very limited to one third of the ground only. For example when I wanted to sub on Sam Draper, I could only put him as ruckman or midfield position, but could not put him at full forward.
Also fatigue number is good addition but player fatigue does not seem to improve when resting on the bench. Would also be good to see the fatigue on the main interchange screen also.
Disappointed to see no injuries still which would add variation to a season.

Definitely need to fix all that.
Still waiting for players to show up off field on the bench. I’m guessing this animation has cooked the game and they don’t know how to fix it.
Would be good to see players running on and off the field too.

As per my image below, how are we this many patches through and the streamers after the grand final are still pink and purple? This seems like the easiest fix

I don’t know if this is a ‘new’ thing but I literally just spun out/evaded a tackle… someone clarify coz if it’s new that’s awesome!
Considering it was different in the trailer and had it matching team colours… can that be fixed easily @JNT_BA ??
I Do it all the time

Played my first match of the new update - finally started a new management mode using the 2024 lists. Even without sliders, can feel the game has gotten much harder. Played Round 1 against Bombers on hardest (5 min quarters), instead of the regular 70-24 scoreline, I struggled big time to get a leg up and won it 39-33. Bombers seemed to have a man everywhere, I could barely mark anything (except the old CHB plucking everything), centre bounces were even, every kick forward would go to a 3 on 1, and they would just link up with a chain of handballs and kicks to a leading player perfectly. Really enjoyed the arm wrestle to win that game, and looking forward to giving it a whirl with some sliders once I do get a hang of the changes. Really liking the recent updates and where it’s positioned the gameplay.
Just hope we get some additional content added to management mode soon to keep the momentum rolling. Is that all we’re going to get feature-wise (besides Pro Team) going forward?

@JNT_BA : Quick question, with (Pro Team) coming next month, is this when the focus will start to being on Management mode? With training ect?
P.S I wouldn’t mind having the streamers after a GF to be team colors as seen in the trailer, it’s not major but would be a good fix also

Yeah I have noticed that on the grand final cutscene it’s annoying
This is something I brought up in the latest AFL meeting. While not impossible it would be a considerable undertaking from many teams to get this 100%.
Taking away from other larger updates to other systems.
I’ll bring it up again in future meetings to see where we are and what may be able to be done!

It would be nice to know if injuries are coming to season mode as I am in two minds about starting a new season as every team. It can be a bit tedious selecting the same teams every game with no forced changes.
A couple of real quick observations based on a quarter and a bit on Easiest with the new patch.
Easiest is easier than ever. Not a complaint or anything, just an observation. I’m still wary of increasing the difficulty, mastering the mechanics etc only for them to change with the next patch. So Easiest it is for now.
Playing West Coast vs Gold Coast, and the game defaulted to the MCG. I’m assuming this is a new bug because it didn’t do this before #VicBias.
Best not to complain about Easiest. I live in Easiest. Mostly because I play custom teams most of which have an average int he 30s or 40s which means any harder and you lose to the AI.

how much do you think youll get for it
Love the sliders and gameplay! Only thing missing from gameplay now is…
Injuries - not sure why we don’t have it in.
Gang tackling - huge part of real footy.
Pack marks and spoils.
More players around the ball instead of running away from it.
Cut scene after every whistle. You guys have great graphics and motion cap so would love to see more of it so it looks like a tv broadcast instead of a whistle then the afl logo pops up and players have moved down the field.
@JNT_BA any chance of any of these happening?

Oh, one another thing. By default it selected the Eagles home uniform. It is predominately royal blue. By default it selected Gold Coast’s clash uniform.
Which is also predominately royal blue.
So West Coast vs Gold Coast at the MCG wearing matching uniforms. I noticed the colours thing so was able to pick an alternative Gold Coast strip, but I didn’t notice the MCG thing because why would I even think to look.
