AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

I think sometimes the scans get added after the player is added to the DB. Hopefully all legends get the AAA treatment over time.

I gotcha. I guess it makes sense.

I also just wanted to confirm that Ken Hinkley doesn’t have a face scan on his player model right now as well.

Also, if I’m correct, All of the 4 player models I’ve brought up belong to people who are AFL or AFLW coaches who are in the game as coaches? I wonder if that’s perhaps causing some issues with the facescans or the DB? I’m perhaps overthinking it. :sweat_smile:

@JNT_BA is there a chance you could add the remove player in the AFL teams. Like people when free Agency comes want to update their teams but they have to create 18 new teams when you could add/remove them from the normal Version. You have this in Cricket 26 so why can’t you add it into AFL 26?

Whats included in todays patch update?

Brother, if there’s no patch notes it’s likely just ProTeam and stability related

I still maintain the view that there is a deceptive amount of tweaking behind the scenes. I saw a speccy the other day where the player in front seems to tip the player in the air over their shoulder. Has it been there forever? Maybe, but I have zero recollection of ever having seen it.

Bumps have been tweaked 100%, players are needing a moment after a collision more often and hitting square sometimes creates a loose ball in a way that you wish was a tactic you could do on purpose. Maybe it’s stats based, still seems to be a bit of a crap shoot.

There’s probably a half dozen things which seemed to have improved by an increment. I guess it’s the best way to do it but it’s a shame they can’t be bundled up with some patch notes and supported with a bit of community engagement on what has been going on behind the scenes.

I agree 100% we should be able too transfer any player to any club without over lap (same player on two teams)

Could be that they’re just tweaking minor things now that will take on a larger effect in AFL28. So almost like a back of the box promotion for an improved bumping system or improved species etc
At this point, I’d be shocked if we don’t get a new game next year as the ProTeam card ratings surely can’t get much larger and we haven’t had a gameplay patch for a long time now.

It’s an interesting one. I can see three years being the perfect balance between revenue growth and objective improvements to gameplay and I suspect that overhauls are off the table for the time being given the near miss with Nacon this year.

Having said that, what’s not to say that the whole plan has been to achieve a type of synergy between the four sport titles that will see two releases a year with the same cost profile entirely viable. Does AI speed up development? I guess it could. I’ve said it before but the big positive is that we at least have a degree of stability and whether it’s two years or three at least we finally have a bit of certainty for the world’s greatest sport.

What differences does everyone think we will see in the next game? It was a massive jump from the first game to 26

Can you add this in the game please it would make the games custom creations so much funner I am on ps5 so I can’t do that modd stuff( make the crowd in custom stadiums and regular stadiums more involved in the match, make the custom stadiums more freeable to customise like hills, retractable roof, higher tiers, different stand types, more logos for the custom teams the cricket 26 and rugby 26 both have more logos to choose from that aren’t licensed that can be used for custom teams, make the difficulty harder, make custom leagues with 22 teams have round robins and make it sound like the crowd gets involved. Please big ant studios add this into the game it would make it feel more immersive in a match and custom leagues. And fix the custom league rounds were half a season you play home and the other half away like home home home away away away make it home, away home away etc) this is just a suggestion to make the game better I don’t know were to put in suggestions for the game @JNT_BA

Yeah that’d be nice. A few of us added some specific suggestions here:-

Folks,

In PT is the State of Origin filter working for anyone?

Nah it doesn’t… nor do any State of Origin cards show up with any filter selected.
I can only find them when I first load the player lists and scroll down.

I’ve tried favouriting a few as a workaround. Genuinely thought this would have landed in the ā€˜have to fix’ column, along with adding a number search. Nothing better than needing google to play video game.
