AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

Yeah but wish we could track objectives during games, because most of the time I forget the missions particularly in 10 min quarter ones LOL

Yeah that’s my one Pro Team want, should be able to have a live tracker on the pause menu

As I don’t wanna do the old days and get an old school book and have to write down all missions like I did with the cheat codes for GTA :face_with_tongue:

Nice mate! I have 100 goals left to finish of all the base objectives except the Joel Selwood Finals Record as I don’t play online. It will be very annoying seeing that one sitting there unchecked though :rofl:

Nice! I’m doing exactly that right now, with a sapphire ruck rover who I tap to (to likely get the contested possession), handball to the utility player who kicks long (for the inside 50), to Fyfe at FF for the mark and goal.

That’s the script mate :fire::fire::fire:

I’m really enjoying the online games these days. Some players play some very unique game styles and it’s interesting when you learn the different ways to play the game from them.
I’ve copped my fair share of online losses but really enjoyed working out how they’re doing certain things.
It seems that most gameplay tricks have possible counter strategies, so it’s great playing mind games with your opponent to see what you both can counter from the other person’s strategy.

I reckon I now know the top 5 Pro Team Prem Challenge players, and I get a thrill when I’m matched against them… but it’s sometimes humbling and you gotta learn to lose with grace (which thankfully, most of the top-tier players also seem to have because we’ve had great chats afterwards about it).

Online games feel more like real footy games, a lot more fumbles and chaos which is good !

I don’t think we have ever come across each other which is weird !

Great to hear it’s a really competitive space at the minute! In my opinion, nothing beats the variety of playing online.

Unfortunately for me, the set up of my current house only allows for a wifi connection (bar running a 20 metre cable through 3 rooms :rofl:). It just isn’t viable or fun playing a peer to peer connection game that way - I want to lose on my own merits :rofl::rofl:

I have tried it on wifi when no one else is home and I think 2 out of the 4 games I played had a fairly decent connection but still not enough to make me want to plow back into it. If the objective was only 10-15 games I’d probably be happy gifting some wins AFK to people just to get there, 40 is way too many!

Haha fair enough.
I’m hoping for more people to play Premiership Challenge, because the more people that make the top 8, the more people that slot into the ladder positions for the percentage group.

One more person into top 8 will mean a few will move up a tier automatically.

How do you think we get more across to enjoy the whole PT experience, I rkn heaps still play regular online games as well as the single player experience.

Do you think players just get put off by the money aspect ?

if you look at my team half the squad has been earnt through objectives, so I can’t really see it as a excuse not to play. :man_shrugging:

I hear you mate. I used to absolutely hammer the AFL games and had hoped to see a glitch-free management mode when AFL26 came out. Or certainly by now.

Not being able to earn development points to then manually adjust player stats (like in past games) really hurts long-term playability, along with issues around trading & new draftee stats.

There is so much potential but once again the lack of care re so many of the smaller things really adds up. They should’ve just called it AFL ProTeam tbh.

Will we get a AFL 27 game? @JNT_BA

2 Likes

Yes please!

Would gladly pay for an update (rosters, gameplay, replays/highlights, management mode).

Rather than ask for a new game, it’s going to be more beneficial for the longevity of the game if you actually give solid input for the devs to read on what changes or add ons you’d like introduced. @Andii23 we know you want full manual control of marking contest so no need to mention that haha

Anyone got a jhye Clark card they’re sitting on? Still need to do his objective for the Ashcroft obj

I reckon some of the suggestions people have put here already could increase Prem Challenge participation.

Reconnect ability
No-Quit streak bonus
Team-Rating bonus (I.e more when playing as a lowers ranked overall team)

Maybe even a few Objectives to encourage those as well (I.e ā€˜complete 3 Premiership Challenge games with a team rated 60 or under’).

We’ll see how the ā€˜Premiership Challenge Packs’ as season rewards work out. They seem like they’ll be a good incentive, if what I think will be inside them is true.
