There’s new Travis Boak Objectives in proteam now, Reward is a diamond 93 Travis Boak.
Haven’t had a chance to get on tonight I’m keen to check it out
This is a really good discussion and probably shows in part why it’s so difficult to get the ‘balance’ right for all types of players.
We’re all grinders so we see it from our point of view first and foremost, however what is a good reward for one may not be a good reward for another.
I feel like this season there’s a lot more on offer to progress through the levels easier, ie more higher XP and FP boosters on offer in both Ladder Leaders and objectives and there also seems to be a bit more xp on offer via objectives too. I’m guessing this is in part to try and get a higher percentage of players to the level 40 mark? Perhaps this is why rewards seem a little lacklustre to some?
For some of us, more Player Packs might seem better because we’re going to hit level 40 regardless?
And what about Old Mate who absolutely loves the game but only has the opportunity to play it once a week? Should he be excluded from the extremely rare chance of snagging his favourite player of all time in Diamond because he can’t get the same amount of time to play as the rest of us?
I’m also in the camp where I think what’s the incentive after hitting level 40? I bet there are some that want to get there as fast as possible so they can get that Diamond card in their team to make their team better in Premiership Challenge or playing Coach Battles on Hardest.
That’s a long fence sitting essay right there but if we’re having this discussion then I guess it shows the gameplay is at a very engaging level at the very least!
Edit Also just to add, the new Ladder Leaders are genius. Giving you a choice of which reward to attack and in some levels the risk/reward of chasing a ‘better’ reward comes the risk of a higher difficulty
Can we pleaseeeee get some updated crowd noises, and dynamic crowd sizes? Bit weird that there’s no roar after a goal, and i had a fully packed MCG for North Melbourne Vs West Coast on career mode
I feel like that’s definitely something that will get worked on in the next game, just not this one. Hopefully night and day cycle too. Foundation is there in the cricket games so definitely possible
You’re dominating as always mate! I haven’t played too much this season as yet but on level 17 so far - I am finding it a little tedious to continually grind with some objectives. I am doing a road to glory with $0 spent so I love things like the travis boak objective to keep the grind going BUT things like 350 games for a singular pack is wildddd.
I don’t know if I have the solution but I do find the tougher/more time consuming objectives need some better rewards, should be worth grinding for
I’ve been playing a lot of player career mode and have a suggestion for a small addition in the upcoming patches.
In marking contests, there is a natural element of jostling and body contact, which sometimes leads to a push-out. This interaction is generated by the system based on timing rather than being fully user-initiated.
It would be great to have the option in open play to hold down Square to initiate body contact, making it fully controlled by the player. This would allow for more engaging interactions, such as holding an opponent’s arm or performing light shoves, instead of just bumping into each other.
Currently, if you initiate a bump from too far away, you get penalised for blocking or bumping. A lighter version of body contact initiated by holding Square would be beneficial, especially in player career mode. With this feature, players could create separation when done correctly, while still facing consequences for excessive contact.
ya know what jostling in marking contest should also be fully manual
hold down square to engage your opponent - and then release and a quick press of again to push off
Hello - looking at getting this game. Wondering if anyone can tell me if it supports ultrawide resolutions (3440x1440) on PC?
Yep it does. I have seen the different display sizes in the settings, and that’s one of them.
when is the next update, really need to focus on fixing gameplay and difficulties
Why can I no longer edit the opposition teams line up in season mode @JNT_BA ?
Yeahh i also noticed this today as well @JNT_BA whats going on…?
ICYMI
I don’t think there’s much point tagging JNT in here anymore . I would guess that at some point there will be someone else manning the board as his replacement.
Congratulations on the promotion though mate!
Like I’m still here, when I can be, but as mentioned, I’m way out of the loop at the moment. I’ll ask the AFL team about this when I can.
Finally packed a Scott Pendlebury for the objectives wahoo, absolutely loving pro team, as someone who plays most of the sports card collecting games (love the grind and collecting) I can tell you that the others aren’t getting much of a look in at the moment
(got the gold version from 2023 gold premiership pack)
That’s good to hear. Might be nice if we could get someone from the AFL team to be an admin here too.
That way, We can keep in contact with the AFL team and allow you to be able to fully focus on the Rugby 25 side of things.
love this! hopefully can happen in user matches also
Good stuff mate! Haven’t come across him yet either. I also need the Travis Boak 2024 for another of the objectives
Congrats on the promo JNT.
No doubt there is a potential AFL mod waiting in the wings. I think there’s great potential to take things to the next level - clearly we have a small passionate community here that could be a great resource for BA. Personally I’d love a bit of clarity on effort on what is and isn’t viable with the current engine so we can focus on the stuff that actually matters.
