I have no idea it’s very odd 
@JNT_BA any reason why it wasn’t added in today’s update?
Appreciate the gryan miers Love although spent the whole game trying to get him a set shot and failed……good to see updates and felt like yeah stamina is fixed…….would still love to see more manual elements come in especially for goal kicking on the run, marking and so on……. Had a goal running away from the goals and just because I got the timing right it went through…….goal kicking still way too easy
Also,
Stamina bar beneath player? Does anyone know if that is actually a thing. Couldn’t find it in the settings and played a few games and didn’t notice it…….or Am i blind?
Just want to confirm… it is normal to not have any/many card packs to choose from in the Store?
Wanting to gun down the Tex Walker objectives which tells me I need to use 2026 Adelaide Players (available 19/03) but when I go to buy packs today… there isn’t any player ones
Dam rugby got a way bigger update then afl
I wouldn’t worry too much, unless it’s something entirely bespoke the development of one benefits the other.

Is anyone else finding the hardest difficulty to easy in manager mode still? I’m winning against top 4 sides like Brisbane and Gold Coast with the eagles

Anyone know what “Added optional stamina bar beneath player” would mean?

Big change to the archetypes in Pro Team.
Looks like a combination of renaming the existing ones and updating the symbols for them (Generalist DEF is now a kind of fend-off symbol as opposed to the old ‘Spoiling’ archetype symbol from AFL 23 Pro Team).
Also noticed that rewards for Base Objectives have been changed or updated?
The Tassie VFL rewards are added but all the card and contact rewards have been added as Pro Team Year 2

Been trying to figure it out it says “optional” so it’s potentially something you add on but I can’t seem to find it

i wonder if it is a mess up on BA’s part….noticed on steamdb they had a few changenumbers right after the patch was made public - maybe they noticed it didn’t go out right away and are in the process of rectifying it in a later patch.
when i saw the patch notes i thought it would look like what NHL26 has, with a bar right beneath the player?

Management career contracts still broken (year too long), thought the patch the other day might have been able to address those. Just for clarity, is anyone else having this same issue where the player contracts are a year longer than supposed to be?

I mean does this issue really matter
Would be nice if management mode could get some love. Would’ve liked to have started a new save with the season starting, but the 2026 off-season is beyond broken. 2-4 national draft picks, 1-2 rookie draft picks, no delistings, only 1-2 free agents always from the demons.

yea, basically no point trying to start a management career for the new season because the draft and contracts are busted for the first off season

Fix management mode on AFL 26

Management mode is currently a mess. Contracts don’t work, The rising star only has a few players eligible (incorrectly) and the brownlow goes to random players because simulation stats are unrealistic (Coleman medal winner usually only kicks 30-40 goals). However it has a lot of redeemable factors but it’s very flawed and frustrating to play.
Apart from management mode, the player career mode needs much love. no depth in it.
-
Add clear in-game objectives based on position and role
-
Show exact role each week and notify us when position changes
-
Include live match rating with feedback on what is helping or hurting performance
-
Make coach expectations clear before and during matches
-
Add direct opponent/matchup information
-
Make training meaningful and tied to playstyle development
Right now it feels like just playing matches rather than living a full AFL career

@JNT_BA Would it be possible to view management career stats per game. If not could this be added?
It’s frustrating and pretty pointless looking at totals (unless it’s goals for the Coleman) as it’s not a true representation of each players performance as players miss games through injury and selection. Even if we could get a games played stat that would help. thanks
