Will we get a AFL 27 game? @JNT_BA

Yes please!
Would gladly pay for an update (rosters, gameplay, replays/highlights, management mode).
Rather than ask for a new game, itās 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 youād 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 theyāre 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 ācomplete 3 Premiership Challenge games with a team rated 60 or underā).
Weāll see how the āPremiership Challenge Packsā as season rewards work out. They seem like theyāll be a good incentive, if what I think will be inside them is true.

Few good ideas there mate !
Just adding to this, Iāve noticed in Pro Team that the full lineup presentation before the match might actually be pushing a few players away. The face card lineup looks awesome, but in a small player base it kind of ends up feeling like a pre game flex. Iām getting a fair few opponents quitting right at that screen, probably thinking they donāt have a chance.
It works in FC for example because theyāve got millions of players, but in AFL where the gap between squads can be bigger, that first impression seems to matter more.
I reckon something simpler in the pre-game menu could help, even like you said have just an overall team rating in the corner, or a more generic lineup overlay. The face cards still look great for in game set shots, just maybe dial it back before the opening bounce so people donāt bail instantly.
Just what Iāve noticed from a lot of my games

Yeah thatās fair, but I kinda like the display.
If players could tell that theyāll get more bonus points against a super team like that even if they lose (i.e the Team-Rating Bonus above)ā¦ hopefully theyād play the game anyway.
And maybe then, as well, you would choose lower-rated teams to try and get your boost as well.
Anyway, seems like thereās a few things they could play with to encourage the overall base.

Throw in a confidence mechanic while we are at it.
additionally team confidence should dictate tactics.
Low confidence = conservative and less attacking
High confidence = more attacking and more willing to take on the game
Therefore you should get ai teams changing tactics depending how the game is going for them. Same as for the player.
This might even solve the AI kicking for goal issues some people are mentioning, as even on highway difficulties if a player has moderate to low confidence that should make their goal kicking less accurate.

Good to see that pro team is unplayable for me. I canāt adjust any lineups as so no players appear for me in any of the player tabs. And my game keeps crashing. See ya AFL26. The glitches have officially become too much for me

It actually worked out pretty well, I havenāt had a good look over the ratings of the draftees they average between 75-81 which seems about right but this will be there abouts to tie us all over till the real ones come out

hey everyone Iāve just started playing the last few days but havenāt been able to load into 1 premiership challenge Iām glad I found you guys on here I just wanted to ask if maybe someone wanted to maybe try get into a game?
Iāve gotten into a few of them recently without issue. What happens when you try? Does it just search and never find someone? Or do they quit before starting the game? Or something else?
Howdy
Back again blowing PTC trying to pull a specific card.
Is anyone willing to put their emerald Norm Smith Wil Ashcroft card on the auction house for four hours? Happy to trade it back, just canāt seem to get hold of him.
EDIT - false alarm, I pulled it. Tip for anyone in a grinding like me - got him from Best In Comp emerald pack. Although Sapphire packs offer a 2% higher chance of pulling an emerald, plus leaves you with better players, there is one less card in the pack. Not sure of the maths (too much braining today) but itās something like an extra 20% (i.e. one extra card) vs a 2% increase in a smaller deck turning up emerald. Absolute no brainer.
EDIT 2:- Gargh I canāt get āexplosive midfielderā to pop. Wary that you can miss out on rewards that expire and disappear. Also getting the āgo get a coffeeā style loading times that have been reported on here - happening more often than not. Missed out on 98 Fyfe - not exactly an objective that can be grinded over a few hours. Super close on 97 Ashcroft.
EDIT 3:- Not happy Jan. Explosive never popped, which meant I didnāt get 93 Wil which meant I couldnāt get 97 Wil + the sapphire decorated you earnt playing with the 93 reward. Weaving the objectives together is cool and all, but it comes down like a house of sticks if the rewards donāt process. Raising a ticket. TMI? Why yes but such is the price of witnessing a thrilling drama.

Hey everyone. Lurked a bit on here, but made an account now because I had to talk about a couple of things in relation to gameplay.
-
I think the AI being able to bomb from 50+ super quickly and ALWAYS kick the goal is just ridiculous. They never miss. Ever. Even on easy.
-
This has happened a few times now, buy having the ball in the D50 and being tackled over the goal line, only to be pinged for delibrate rushed behind. That makes no sense. Also one time I marked the ball on the goal line, and the animation had my player take a step back and got pinged again for delibrate rushed behind. Definitely needs to be fixed.
-
Tackling, while better, still has issues. During ball ups, if the opp gets the ball in their 50, I HAVE to go for a smother, since the animation for them grabbing the ball and IMMEDIATELY kicking for goal (and always making it) is stupidly fast. The tackling animation is either too slow or they clip through.
I will say though, nothing feels better than winning a centre bounce, my rover read the tap, break through the line, and grab and goal on the run from 50.
