Is Pro Team crashing the game for anyone else when you open it?

Im trying to find a logo for 4 main teams I have made.
Southern Seagulls - Players that come from mainly the southern regions of their states.
2019 Draft - All players from the 2019 AFL draft.
Jackjumpers - All players who are called Jack
Tom Tank Enginers - All players who are called tom.

I also have a team called band of brothers with all the players having a brother playing in the AFL but I think the Old AFL logo is good enough for that for me.

Could you please help me with this if not its ok.

Haven’t been on yet, what are the thoughts? Have they changed anything ?

Outside of pro team I think they changed the wording on the stats sheet at the end of games. Because I definitley do not remember “key stats” being there before.

Tbh AFL26 doesnt get much attention and doesnt have a post with any patchnotes.

Yep, very ordinary indeed. I wont be putting in solid hours to complete the season thats for sure. Its just fodder and 92 Redman at the end…hardly inspiring.
Very unimaginative stuff. What about some proper HOF Legend objectives - decade or team themed. I would love a Tony Lockett or Robert Harvey card. In FIFA or FC2, they have all sorts of bona fide legends not the so called legends offered last season, no disrespect to those players but aside from Brent Harvey, not exactly top shelf. Lets have some real superstars eh.

Terrible season and another Collingwood special player. Pendles, Elliott and now Daicos. There’s 18 other clubs

100%.

I’ve said this before but I respectfully disagree with how BA are planning their seasons. Dropping two 97s and four of live legends during a season and then the big reward for the following campaign is a 92 rated ToTW card? Even on paper that doesn’t like right.

Acknowledge there is probably some plan to do something cool during the season, but why? Flip it around, put the must have cards as a level reward and use the Obsidian cards that you’ll probably pull at some point anyway as the random objectives. It’s a much better fit for what these cards represent.

Also if Darren Glass and Brian Lake are ‘Legends’, then you’re going to need another tier for the fateful day BA get rights to Ablett, Hird, Carey et al.

While I’m at it, I’m a bit worried for any bona fide GOATs if they ever arrive. To be at 97 already doesn’t leave a lot of headroom. I wouldn’t be opposed to lifting the ceiling to say 110 for something like a TOTC series, these ones need to be special. I’m not saying individual stats should be over 100, just allow the aggregate rating to breach the cap. I assume it’s done by a calculation given that some FOs still have modest attributes in certain areas.

Some good points no doubt, but the game is a 2 year cycle. Surely we can’t expect every high ranked card this early on?
Also did everyone read the message in message centre?

There’s going to be 4 more Obsidians over the next 4 weeks.

Edit - from X

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - that’s my concern. Too many high rated cards to soon plus no headroom for any GOAT cards that must be at least in discussion. I think Hird and Carey were originally in the plans for 23?

Great that there’s more card versions on the way, but I think where you’re really going to hook people in is by including players from old premiership teams. Take Dippa for example - who wouldn’t grind for a 90+ wingman with an afro and a big moustache. Or ‘balding era’ Bartlett zipping around the midfield. The list is endless. Hopefully retired players aren’t asking for an arm and a leg, what legend of sane mind wouldn’t want their grandkids playing them in a game.

With the 100+ card rating idea, realised after posting that this might rub some players the wrong way. So maybe a diamond system - once you hit 100 the stat bump can be in number of diamonds. One for 101- 105, two for 106 - 110 and so on. Probably max out at three. Exactly the same as a player being rated over 100 but probably with a lot less conjecture.

To be clear I’m talking about a very small group of TOTC style cards - you know the players I’m talking about.

One more while i’m here - oh magical BA devs if you read this - can we please add Battle Tested to the search criteria and the ability to filter on player number. True googling doesn’t kill you but the best consolidated reference I can find is on Wikipedia, surely this can’t be feeling like great design.

If you really want to knock our socks off, give the ability to run a filter from the objective. That would be the best solution of all.

Yep agree on the extra sort options 100%. Especially by numbers, there’s been plenty of number objectives lately

I have been doing the 16 disposal and 2 goals in a quarter for the Daicos event for ages I reckon I have done it 50 times and it won’t let me move on

@JNT_BA for awareness

I tried running AFL Tables listings through Chat-GPT to get me each year’s #16s… but unfortunately the tech needed wasn’t there… and it gave me instructions to go and do it myself!

haha…

But yeah… more filters… or I think FIFA had 3 ‘views’ of a card, so flicking over to see their other stats, numbers, or whatever… so a guernsey number could be shown on that view.

Also… a filter for Rucks please! :slight_smile:

2 Likes

Yep, agree on the Rucks as well. I see how they get lumped in with the Mids in the cards section, however they definitely don’t count as a ‘mid’ when it comes to objectives. Trust me, I’ve tried it!

@Archer_11 Battle tested is now part of the search criteria

Ive made both 2024 and 2025 All Australian teams on academy (Surprised noone has yet tbh) What would be a good guernsey and commentary name to use for them? For commentary name I am thinking the minor premiers of each respective year since they are the best teams in the H&A season.

Is anyone else having this problem with daily login rewards?
To start the week it says one thing and when you get to that day its different.
I was expecting a diamond pack today (thought maybe coz i logged in every day since launch)
But instead got a 10% FP.
This is the fifth week this has changed, submitted a ticket a month ago and they never bothered to respond.
