Is anyone in here playing pro team on Xbox? All I want is to play premiership challenge and get about 5-10 seconds into matchmaking for it to say an error has occured. Submitted a ticket months ago to no reply just really frustrated. I’ve only been able to play maybe 5 games since the game released. @JNT_BA I know it’s not a support forum but any help would be appreciated

Could be just because I only played a game via ā€˜Play Now’ but has the crowd noise been turned down quite substantially ?
Played Ess v Carl and it sounded like a local footy game

I’m hopping on tomorrow to suss the update, but anyone got an example of the ā€œ150+ new visualsā€?

I just want Logan Morris to look like Logan Morris. There is nothing worse than having a generic looking main goal kicker.

has anyone figured out a way to play a season with more than 22 clubs?

Just got him mate, emerald as predicted !

150 visuals are referring to player likeness updates. None for Brisbane unfortunately. We would have to have the most generic players, around 12 players on the list.

I’ve really enjoyed the most recent update on the game.

I think we’re in a good spot with the game right now with all the updates to gameplay and how things have been fixed.

I do have one suggestion though. I’d love it if we were allowed to modify how the coach looks on Custom Teams and have their shirt reflect the colours of the custom team.

At the moment, Every coach on a custom team is a bald guy wearing the same blue shirt that was worn by the people doing the coin toss before the most recent update.

It would be nice to be able to modify the look of the coach and set the gender so the coach fits a bit in a bit more during cutscenes as it would improve the presentation when it comes to custom teams being used in game and not make the coach stick out like a sore thumb.

Yeah I realised that after I mentioned Thilthorpe’s update!

Are the coaches meant to resemble the current afl coaches?

I wish you could categorize how the coach looked for every team tbh, even in management mode because you could potentially ā€œsackā€ a coach for a new one

Yes. I think most of them have even been face-scanned.

I know Luke Beverage declined to be in the game and that’s why he isn’t in the game and I don’t know what’s going on with Andrew McQualter. He’s not in the game and he’s been replaced by a bald guy but I don’t know if they’ve been unable to get the licensing to use him, He’s been unable to be scanned for the game or they have scanned him and he’s yet to be put into the game.

I think if you look at every AFL team besides the Bulldogs or Eagles, I think they’ve got their Real-Life Coach in the game during in-game cutscenes.

If I have that wrong, Correct me.

Tackling seems a bit off since the latest patch
AI doesn’t seem to tackle anymore, or at least as consistently as they were. For example, sometimes switching players is a bit rough but AI teammates would still tackle if close enough.
Quite often now, the AI just stands there.
Same goes for picking up a loose ball. Seems very hit and miss

Would be great. I think for the next game they have to look at staff like how 2k/fifa have theirs. Better coaches = higher stat boosts and training etc

They already have such a deep management mode for an AFL game, they’ve somehow bit off more than they can chew in that regard, let’s keep it going :folded_hands:
