Perhaps it could be unique to very few people…which is why it pays to create a ticket. I checked mine just now and they are just fine?
- Edit - it looks like another update came through overnight
The achievement popped after completing 11 rebounds with Nick Vlastuin. It might have just ‘processed’ during a sync by coincidence, but four days of trying on my third player and card category feels a little strange.
One other difference - the game was 7.5m, not 10m.

It is for anyone who has previously adjusted the ratings. So more than a few people…
I will see if the overnight update has resolved the issue. Thanks for letting me know

Out of GWS/Gold Coast contest who is winning??
I have always wondered, why are the VFL and WAFL songs not in AFL26 unlike the SANFL songs?
pretty sure the update didn’t fix it; i had updated every players ratings and they are all ruined
I can’t for the life of me get the 15 tackles with a smooth midfielder. I’ve tried intentionally losing ruck contests, handballing to space and tackling the oppo but to get 15 tackles with the SAME player is just ridiculous. No challenge should be this arduous. I’m about to go crazy because I’ve spent hours trying to get this challenge

Last time I’ll mention it as I’ve wrote about this multiple times above. Kick to the player you want to get a tackle with, Mark it (l1+r1+square) will be a loopy handball to the man on mark, sprint towards him tackle.

Could they be copyrighted or something?
Fave technique - play on wing, take a mark, handball on ground and when the man on the mark picks it up tackle head on.
Rightly or wrongly every few days it’s best to play ten minute quarters on easy and stack your team with specific players needed for ‘do this thing a lot’ objectives. Writing down the high effort ones doesn’t go astray either, it makes it a lot less stressful.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. 10 minute quarters, on easy, stacking the team with the players I need for the more painful objectives in one match.
Turns out I just had to complain here to get the challenge because the game after posting I got it. I had to turn auto interchange off, started my player in the centre with other slow, low rated ruckman so that my emerald smooth mover could get to the tackle before them, didn’t contest in the ruck, prayed their ruck hit the ball in the right direction, then when my player lost stamina I’d put him at full forward so he could just clunk marks and then I did the lob handball trick after a mark a few times. Any other piece of play and I was just handballing to space and hoping the oppo would pick it up before my players magnetism sucked him into the ball.
I stayed up late last night being stubborn and committing to this challenge. My point still stands about this being way too arduous. You really have to focus on this challenge and nothing else to get it which I hate.

Yeah auto interchange would have made it hard for sure. Hopefully one day BA add a feature to sticky players to their position.
I think the grindy objectives are here to stay, at the end of the day any player you miss out on will probably show up in a pack one day and no single card makes a team.
Having said that, I think they need to keep an eye on objectives that you require to have done something else first and the precursor is a PIA. Also while I’m at it - I don’t think
‘get ‘x’ free kicks in a single match’ should EVER be an objective. The umpiring is too flakey for that to be enjoyable.

Many. Over 300. Guernseys, Logos, etc, but not so many players.

That’s easier said than done in my experience. You can’t always track exactly where the player is to always kick to him. That’s why I turned auto-interchange off and left my player at full forward. That was the most guaranteed way of knowing where my player was at all times
When is the ratings glitch getting fixed @JNT_BA ? Will not lodge support ticket as this is something QA should be all over

When you play the game enough you’ll understand where the positions run if you place him on the wing they most of the time will run the train track lines inside the centre square, otherwise just have him him FF and play on easiest and play with high tactics to have him 1 out, you should be able to get 20 marks in a half and potentially get 20 tackles using above tactics

i’ve made a ticket for it. but we’ll see how long we wait. won’t play it until it’s fixed. i made the ticket last thursday …
Seeking advice. Which game from AFL23/AFL26 has the easiest gameplay controls for a complete noob to the franchise. I’m not too concerned about graphics, careers or pro cards…just gameplay…and the easier the better.
AFL26 is an improvement in all sorts of areas.

They’re the same buttons, putting it on easiest difficulty should help you win with your eyes closed.
