Hey Mate I’ve got a guernsey thread where I’m pointing out the little guernsey details for the BA team on my thread feel free to pop it in there so all the minor issues and tweaks that need to be made are all in the same spot so when they do get around to it they have it all there

Sigh.
I’m not convinced anyone at BA has ever actually played a full season in management mode when you see all the glitches still in the game, especially at the end of a season.

What glitches are there?
Admittedly I don’t closely play management mode or understand the draft periods or free agency and stuff… but I haven’t really noticed issues.
I’m sure if you post the problems (and proposed fixes) to the Support website they’ll look at them.

Would AFLW be a part of the next update?
AFLW already is in the game isnt it?
Yes it is, I was talking about roster updates for AFLW
Oh i thought they did those back in march
Heaps. 
- Key forwards are wildly inaccurate in simmed games. End of year scoring are stats like 22.54.
- You have to sign a player for the following year if you want to be able to trade them (ie you can’t trade anyone who’s out of contract).
- None of your players will ever ask for a trade - you can always re-sign everyone so long as you offer the right amount of $$ & years (which swings heaps from one player to another similar player).
- Natural improvement through weekly training, games, etc is a mystery - it’s also redundant when every player for some reason has 350 points to make them a superstar if you choose.
- Not so much of a glitch but not having score involvements stats.
- AA team is 22 not 23 and all the forwards and defenders are key position players. Sam Draper was named on a wing in the most recent season I completed. Also no C or VC.
- Hussien El-Achkar won the rising star with 54 votes despite not playing a senior game (says he played 14 games and kicked 22 goals - maybe in the VFL?).
- Brownlow medal only shows one page of totals (ie if there’s no Essendon player in say the top 30 or however how many fit on the first page, you can’t then filter it to see how many Essendon players got votes because there are none).
- There were times when team selection was skipped altogether, so you just rolled in to play match.
- Senior players in the VFL are often not selected in favour of much, much weaker VFL players.
- Player stats - existing and also for draftees - are better than they used to be but still whack. Merrett in the 60s for kicking, Perkins 100 for positioning, idk it’s all over the place.
- Training is laborious - if you need to rest players, you have to manually update each day of the week by each line.
- The draft pool is very lean for any top end talent and the vast majority of decent players are defenders for some reason.
- Sometimes the draft itself just breaks (see attached, where it was only Freo and Essendon with picks).
I dunno man. There’s heaps of stuff so glaringly missing or broken, I genuinely wonder whether anyone from BA has actually played management mode in full. Or if they have, they either aren’t paying attention or frankly just don’t care.
Lots of stuff has been improved along the way I must say but this game is clearly all about ProTeam ($$$) and it shows.
EDIT: I’ll add that sure we can email support but really, so much of these are basic, glaring errors that anyone - especially someone who’s paid to work on the game - would easily notice.

Have you done any of the updates, because half of this doesn’t happen any more
I checked, they only got the players but the lists are still 2025 lists for AFLW
One things that’s very unplayable is just the difficulty. I’ve said this multiple times and yet nothing has change. The ai is too dumb to understand what to do out of kickout. The only reason I play afl 26 is cause of management career, and right now it’s not up to standered. The stupidity of the ais is getting out of hand. Just for anyone reading this message is there any sliders you can give out to make this game playable and have some sort of fun playing this. @JNT_BA you have to get someone to fix these. Cause that’s what’s letting career mode down. Sorry since I’ve mentioned this multiple times

Every single thing I outlined comes from having played 3 management seasons over the past few days, since all of the recent updates.
I double checked and there are no more updates I’ve missed.
Legends Teams
So I am creating legends teams in AFL 26. I need some help. Does anyone want to send some jersey pictures and some players from each club.
I want it as realistic as possible

Are you looking to create the North Melbourne 1996-99 teams
No, as in legends on team. Example: Merrett, Hird, Lloyd, Jobe Watson for Essendon.
Wayne Carey, Todd Goldstein for North Melbourne

Anything different about the update?
What is club collections? Is it part of the pro mode?
Yep club collections are part of ProTeam
Also - can now send duplicate cards straight to auction house, keep or quick sell. Also an indicator that identifies it’s a duplicate and/or collection card
