AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

It was like that for me for months, I thought that was the new normal and I was ok with that. For a short while there I could watch the menu load and wait for the white dot to appear about ten seconds after.

I don’t know why it’s so random, and I’m sure there’ll be days where it’s perfectly fine, but hopefully the group experiencing the behaviour stays pretty small. You’ll know it when you get it - a simple objective won’t complete, so you do it anther two or three times with different players and it just doesn’t change. Meanwhile others turnover just fine. Oh and sometimes they pop when you’re playing a short game and only get halfway through. There are no rules for how this bug works.

Good match mate, sorry my internet was having issues I think. After some research, I have disabled CGNAT (which was on by Default with Leaptel) so will see if that helps. I’m on ethernet too. If its still having issues I might consider changing to Aussie Broadband, but yeah its weird cause everything else is all good.

Yeah was a good game bro ! Pretty chaotic but I liked it ! Couple times early on you froze taking a mark and couldn’t do anything so I just booted the ball out cause it would’ve been a dog act to take advantage of that :joy:

Haha yeah noticed that, thanks!! You’re probably the most humble player out there, AtomAil says he’s Rank 1 and is good, yet took him 5 matches to beat me :joy:
Where are you on the ladder?
Want to play again sometime?

Haha all good mate ! I just want to play consistent games on it ! You delivered the goods tonight. I’m Rank2 2/2 atm can’t see my self getting higher due to the lack of people who want to play me :joy:

Would be awesome if you could search for players on premiership mode and request games would be much more enjoyable and faster match ups !

True that. Well I’ll be happy to play ya again, should find eachother fairly quickly if we go search at the same time. How many points away from 1st are you?

Yeah AtomAiL is on all the time, but won’t play me again since I pants him.
He got super abusive too, telling me how bad I was even though I was 4 goals up and trying to help him out with a bug he was having.

But he just wanted to yell the whole time.
It was a good laugh though, but I’ve heard from a few people now that say he’s the biggest sook they’ve come across.

GuiseppeW0g also quits on me late (I think), but is a decent player.

Big_Dogg is good too, but I’m told he also avoids games against good players once he’s lost to you.

The best I’ve found that still play are Astro2897 and C-a-d-o-s… two very very good players, who are also humble and give a good chat at the end.

C-a-d-o-s has me at a record of about 2-10 (excluding the random drop out games we’ve had)… he smashes me early almost every time and is very tactical.
Love the battles we’ve had.

Glad to see we all had the same bloke at number one :rofl:

Yeah Cados is decent I reckon ive lost to him once if not zero but always had good games.

I don’t think I’ve come across Astro on pro team but if it’s the same Astro who is up top on the normal online games, he’s good. He uses a pretty cheeky tactic at centre bounces, where he taps it back and kicks the ball across the ground. It’s hard to defend and not actually sure how he does it :rofl:

Haha yeah he used that tactic against me too!
Very hard to defend.
It’s a bit hopeful though, and didn’t always come off.

These little tricks and maneuvers are what make it interesting online.

Yeah same I’ve played all them too except Astro haha, also HarryHunter refuses to play me now too. Anyone wanna play some matches tonight?

does anybody have any suggestions to make the game harder? im winning against top rated teams by 100+ on hardest mode, ive tried playing as lower rated teams (Richmond, West Coast, North Melbourne e.t.c) and im still winning by big margins.

I’ve said this a couple times and might as well try once more - for ppl that find the game too easy, surely fielding your worst spuds playing on hardest is a challenge?

On PT playing with a team of low bronze on hardest I barely win a single contest. It gives you a good look at how the mechanics work when you’re getting pantsed with a few sympthy possies here and there, especially in the ruck. In defence you have no choice but to punch every time and hope it lands in the clear.

Thanks BA for the bonus 8000 PTC!

Edit

Thought this was interesting, potentially being added to all their games?

Would give incentive to those that play PT only, to explore other modes more and keep being ‘rewarded’ with Pro Team credits.

Also potentially draw players from other modes to at least try Pro Team given they’ll build up PT credits?

Yeah that’s awesome, because I’m getting over online PT games :joy:

If you can take your team into a season mode that would be amazing !

Or even just grinding casual games with the new teams I made and sliders I’d be about that

Yeah, coz even Season Mode got new commentary pieces since I got deep into Pro Team, and I love coming across those little bits of the game that I wouldn’t otherwise know about if I was stuck only on PT.

Yep I haven’t played much of the other modes, it would definitely make me play more of them

I miss them to a degree but the hours I have is barely enough to get through a PT season. Trying to get away from crunching objectives but that’s exactly what will happen if I spread my time.

There’s more than a little irony that I’ll probably cross 1000 hours by AFL 28 and be 30% on the way to platinum. Customising off a North base in PT does take the edge off though which is nice. And experimenting with players you like from other teams will never get old.

Finally decided to dip my toes into online matches after pickup up playing again.

had a pretty fun time even though I’ve won like 2 out of 6ish matches. Last match I player was the best so far..

It’s def super fun apart from:

Lack of players (I guess I’m late to the party) (what mode do people generally play?)

Played this on around 70-80 (what ever that number means, I’m guessing latency) playable but noticeable moments of it suddenly catching up.

Still lacking full manual controls (not a online thing but still wanna mention it)
