AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

I reckon one thing that needs to be fixed (Which I abuse online) is the forward handball out of center bounce clearances. They need to program the Half Backs to either hold their positions or come forward towards the ball.

The majority of the time they get dragged back 15 or so meters into the D50 which leads to easy midfielder shots on goal. Gets pretty repetitive after a while.

Yeah I admit I do this too, it’s very OP. Needs a fix. Defenders are always sitting ducks. Bit of rinse and repeat, very predictable. Also dashboarders, they disconnect and you get the forfeit when up. Should be a punishment system put in place. Waste of contracts especially when players keep disconnecting 1 minute into a game… Somedays you just ask yourself if you can CBf with playing Premiership challenge. Also the Tabbing issue needs to be fixed immediately. (Opponent constantly opening in play tactics using tab bar) It’s like a lag switch and your players turn into statues. Or the game cuts and they’ve somehow kicked a goal

PS at this point I’m willing to name and shame gamertags :sweat_smile:

2026 team lists for all AFL teams and VFL teams please!!

Yeah I didn’t play Premiership Challenge at all last season after making Rank 1 in season 1 due to rewards in S2.

This season looks good but I feel PT online player base has dropped heaps I can be waiting 5 + minutes for a game then give up.

How do you know it’s a 2 year cycle? Genuine question, are you Ross by any chance?

Yeah mate, the guy needs an alias on his own forum…:roll_eyes:

A 2 year cycle is a logical guess given the past history of this and some of their other games

Anyone been lucky enough to pull any totw Josh daicos? And if so what colour? So I know which colour packs to focus on :oncoming_fist:

Sometimes I’ll look on the Auction House to see what’s there. If there’s Silver’s I’ll target those packs, Gold’s I’ll target those etc..Haven’t got him myself yet though

@Claytos there’s a Bronze Opening Round TOTW Josh Daicos on the Auction House now. Bud is at 10010 at the minute :flushed_face:

I haven’t been grinding objectives but I jumped on this morning and pulled bronze josh daicos in 4 packs from the silver TOTW packs :+1:

Yeah I just assumed it’s broken - the packs always disappear the day I claim them and I get a 8% XP reward instead lol. I logged in for 3 months straight and didn’t get anything decent.

Between the daily login rewards being so underwhelming and the new season tiers being what they are, I’m worried this game is going to die extremely soon especially when the footy season comes to an end.

I think the objectives need a bit of a work around so they are both challenging AND realistic (300+ games in one season for a sapphire pack is ridiculous). Loved PT for the first two seasons but without some more incentive to play, I think it’s time to give it a little break!

I did a ladder leader in season 3 and smashed the team, the game ended and the final score was 0-0 on the match summary, even though I won by over 60+ points and counted as a loss and lost my ladder leader ticket :relieved_face:

GUTTED!

Re: taking a break

You’re talking about a player base that will actively suffer through some of the worst releases in video game history and can still be debating the merits 18 months later. The rusted on base may not be as big as BA would hope but I think for this series the idea of it dying off is subjective. And it appears to be growing which is nice (2k active in PC earlier - probably another 5 - 15k offline (just guessing)).

@Border - that is great news about the filter, thanks. Hopefully numbers are next, fingers and toes.

@SaintSkeeta - agree re: rucks. I think longer term I think we need to be able to filter on anything that becomes an objective. We are well over 5000 cards, probably closer to 10 000. It’s going to become really important.
