He will. Haven’t finished objectives for him yet.

Nice, I have one question.
Do you lose the cards you put in for the collections, or do you get them back when you complete the collection?
I only ask as I don’t want to lose access to the legends I’ve collected in Pro Team outside of the mode.

Yeah, once collected they stay in your collection and are unable to be used. i would suggest if there is any sapphire, emerald etc that you like, try and get a duplicate, I have many dupes that I haven’t sold for this reason.

I reckon the Daily Reward streaks have been fixed up.
I know mine reset at the start of the last two seasons…
But checking today and I have a 94 day streak!
Seems like the same rewards though… but cool to see.

Does anyone have any low tier joel selwood cards they would be looking to sell for cheap?
I definitely think BA are still tinkering. I’ve been having games lately that have been really fast paced. The plays after a spread in particular seem to be faster - the AI is chipping the ball around and being a lot more opportunistic. The ball is spills more often and some of the animation around blocks and half attempts appears to be improving.
Does anyone agree or do I just have the memory of a goldfish in between sessions?

Hadn’t played the game since the start of the season and had a mate over on the weekend, so we fired it up again and played a co-op finals series.
In 3 of the games, at one point the camera would lock on the same view around a stoppage, even when the play had continued around the ground. Obviously we couldn’t see what was happening so you just follow the radar and button bash until the oppo kick a goal, then the camera angle would reset properly again. Embarrassing!
The lighting at the MCG in a day game was awful, with so much shadow contrast you can barely see the players at all. Same issue since I last played.
Oppo can quickly launch an accurate shot from goal from 40m without needing the same time to power up the kick that a typical user does. Mark recovery animations are so slow that it halts the play. Handball to a teammate running ahead of you and they so often basically stop moving to receive the ball. So, more of the same old issues remain.
And let’s not get started on management mode and the complete lack of GAF that’s gone into that.
I know that BAs entire focus (and the only thing they respond to on here) is all about Pro Team, Pro Team, Pro Team, but honestly, it’s so disappointing to see how much work they put into that vs making the actual game itself better.
I’m beyond happy to pay for an AFL27 game that has some serious love and thought put into it, or even a paid upgrade pack for next season that does more than update rosters and promote more Pro Team.
What platform and camera angle?
Some of the areas you mention did get patched, interesting that the problems you mention appear unchanged with a fresh pair of eyes.
Edit: another tweak I have noticed - a poster here talks about how the controlled player gets pulled into the contest too early with a canned animation, even on manual. I think the comment is fair and contributes to the feeling that contested marking probably needs a total overhaul for it to get to the place it needs to. And I’ll always add that no AFL game ever got anywhere close to having a good system so this isn’t exactly a new design challenge.
(Actually if i can add another minor quibble - the probability of a successful mark seems to be higher if you are standing on the side or behind. The only contest where you are less sure of the outcome is when you are standing in front which makes a lot of contests feel very predictable).
Anyway back to the tweak - I’m willing to say that the Devs have absolutely reduced the radius of the player being drawn to the contest on manual. Which is fantastic. A lot of contests I’m finding that I have to do an extra half second of maneuvering which is really noticeable when playing the game.
Yeah I mean we still had fun but did laugh at such a bad glitch still being in the game. I’m not sure what the default camera setting is but we stuck with that on a PS5.
Next update - when playing as freo, have the option to engage WHARFIE TIME - that should drop your team or each individual players stats down 90% for 4 minutes of game time. Just a thought

Yeah they absolutely choked in that 4th quarter and as a geelong supporter i was hoping to see brissy lose because they beat us last year but yeah kylie was good.
Raising the bat again. 100 day streak (often just logging in to collect the reward if I don’t have time for a game).

In the home stretch. Due to the cards being so good this season trying for a clean sweep.
Kudos to the developers for making a lot of the bigger objectives compatible with each other (my kingdom for a utility offensive player wearing no 21 from NSW) and of course for a couple of bigger names finally dropping especially Carey and Arch. Glenn is a chonky boy!
Is it just me or have we had a lot of objectives with Walker and Prestia?
Given how many Legends are now in the game, I’d like to see in the next game the chance to have them for use in Play Now/Management modes. Although they’re not all tied to the same era, having teams like NBA 2K has their All-Time Legends would be good fun for those who don’t play as much Pro Team.

Anyone know what the update was?
Wasn’t to fix the camera glitch unfortunately. Happened again in Season Mode. Camera just locks onto a random patch of grass while the game keeps going around the ground. You’re basically playing off the radar until someone kicks a goal. Had the oppo kick a couple of behinds while it was stuck, play continued as normal, then they eventually kicked a goal and the camera finally reset itself.
It happened several times when I played last week (in Finals mode), and again now even with an update in between.
Also discovered you can’t even have a second local player join your team for a game in Management mode. Had a mate over and assumed you could just connect another controller and play a game together within the career but nope. You can do it in other modes, just not Management.
Such a shame that all this game seems to care about is Pro Team. New cards! New packs! Yayyyy
Dunno about the camera glitch. I’ve only had some camera weirdness once or twice in the last 6 months of playing.
As for updates, we have received little fixes along the way, and lots without much detail to them (like ‘stability’ which usually just fixes crashes that are often the highest priority).
Sure most updates now are content for ProTeam, but that’s is totally different from the gameplay/game mode code (although we’ve had lots of little tweaks to those along the way).
But we’re 18 months since launch… not a lot of games continue with free updates for that amount of time.
I’m hoping efforts are going into a future game, or maybe a large 2027 season update if otherwise.

yeah well with the camera glitches i found one where if yoy use the mathew pavlic and stevie j set shot animation the camera dosentfollow you on the set shot it stays on the ground until the ball is in the air on seson mode and what happend to the hall of fame it was on afl23 and i just relised it was not added into afl26 i thought it was a good way to see what i had collected
I don’t think the Hall of Fame ever worked on AFL23.
