Unfortunately not and I don’t think there’s enough injury’s to your own team in management mode. Every team always has atleast 5 players on the injury list. You only ever have 1 or 2 in this game
SPOILER:
So it looks like every team has something unique to look forward to for the Grand Final.
A former player carrying out the cup during the national anthem.
Must be the ‘Updated Grand Final presentation’ part of the release notes from the other day.

That’s an awesome feature to add I think it needs small tweak with the national anthem just to be shorter and not over the cup presentation. They do a similar thing with RL26 where only half on the anthem plays at the end which I really like

So quick vid - feel like the case for having R1 being a part of manual kick and handball would have vast benefits.
The video shows the player having to change direction (towards where he is aiming) right before kicking.
This, in a lot of cases, allows the chasing defender to get a tackle in and a higher chance of HTB.
IF the player didn’t need to change direction when R1 was pressed and the player maintains direction and speed, the separation between players would most likely be retained.

Anyone know where to see season averages on statistics on management mode. There isn’t even matches played anymore?
A real pain. Hopefully they can fix it soon

I don’t think there’s any Bulldogs, Freo or Port in the PT store.
Nothing in the auction house, bought 20 odd bronze packs and only getting a v small selection of clubs (Ess, WC, Saints, North, Dees).
If that info is right then the Port weekly objective cannot be comepleted, and you have to get to level 8 for Freo (easy enough) and level 18 for Footscray (a little extreme).

It seems like Premiership Challenge games are the 2026 rules, but Coach Battles and Ladder Leaders are the 2025 rules.
@Archer_11 yeah I noticed the cards too. Seems like only about 7-8 teams have cards in packs from what I’ve opened already.

True ! I gave up on premiership challenge a season and a half ago with everyone quitting 
I wonder what they should do - barely anyone using the mode. Which only compounds the issue, who is going wait around for a game.
The positive is 26 hit 2k active online last year - it’s a problem to solve more than anything. Maybe an in game notification that someone is waiting will help, something that you can select from any menu screen to initiate a game.
can we please have blue uniforms for umpires in games that teams have yellow like real life, i said this last year and was said it was being worked on, also pro team having the sub will that be changed

Lets hope everyone is back at the office tomorrow and works on a new patch update and reads and considers your requests and adds or changes things
Yeah… I tend to keep the Prem Challenge game close until the second half. Then at least I’ll get the points for a win if they quit.
Unfortunately there’s also some that just refuse to play me.
I suppose it’s just the many people that make up the community, like Atoms that make up the universe.

Anyone else having issues with ruck rotations ?
Wright is always listed as my second ruck but I never see him in there unless I move him there myself
Even tried having him come off the bench to see if this would make a difference but nope
And instead of next tallest or next best ruck stats coming in to replace Bryan, I’m having guys like Zac Johnson, Jacob Farrow etc etc

This is clearly the best afl game and a massive jump from afl 23 can’t wait to see how much better the next game will be. It’ll be coming out next year I assume
Yep, looks like the cards are labelled ‘Set 1’.
In the store, they have them as including cards from only the following teams;
- Brisbane
- Carlton
- Collingwood
- Melbourne
- North Melbourne
- St Kilda
- Sydney
- West Coast

Hey @JNT_BA is it possible to increase injuries a little bit to user and computer teams in management mode? Just so we are using all of the side, And also show Injury lists for all the teams? Loving the update and game best afl game yet cheers

I feel like the best fix for this would be to have relevant sliders. Injury rate and severity for example. In previous titles we had this and it worked really well
Also fatigue does affect injuries as well. If you put a heavier training load on, more players will get injured

Yeah but I’d also love to see the other teams injuries as well. Feel like every team should have atleast 5 listed players injured a week
