AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

From memory they do patches late at night, but could be wrong also :slight_smile:

Let’s just hope you’re right :joy:

Guessing if there’s nothing by at 8pm be a tomorrow job

Tried that in a game just then, noticed BA have the Freo AI on that they butcher it every time they kick into the 50.

If it’s a late night update just say it’ll be ready to play Tuesday there’s no point getting people’s hopes up for it to come out in the day and then drop it at like 11 pm

It’s up to Microsoft not BA

I’ve found changing the defence tactic to locate helps with this. Makes your defenders man up.

Patch looking likely for tomorrow?

I’m on PS5 and still don’t have access to ProTeam so I’m in the literally same boat as the XBox users

There are roughly 9 players per team still unscanned.

Problem is though how long is Microsoft going to be with the certification. It’ll probably be tomorrow but the general consensus is 3-10 days it takes (not including weekends)

All other consoles would have been the same. Lots of games have some of their content finalised for the day 1 patch. Don’t worry Big Ant would be just as frustrated as we are

Microsoft are also renowned for this sort of thing

Is anyone able to play proteam atm? I crash straight after the coin toss.

The only fix I’ve found is to actually rotate my team every match, which is really stupid! I don’t want to play my Cat B rookie because my main midfield had a match 7 days ago

Problem is you know big ant are in contact with Microsoft, big ant haven’t said a word today… ā€œUpdate to come Mondayā€ is what we heard Thursday on release day. That’s the frustrating part Xbox get an incomplete version and everyone else good as gold….

Surely on the team selection screen it would be possible to show fatigue levels then. I don’t want to have to go into the roster and find someone not fatigued and remember which players are. Making me move between two different screens is not user friendly. Also, players should be able to back up multiple weeks in a row without being fully tired. Maybe not at 100% but they should get back to 80-90%. Giving them a week off could get them back to 100%.

Currently if my midfield plays 3 games back to back, they start the next game with about 20% stamina, and are almost guaranteed to get injured. Not to mention I’m definitely going to lose the game.

Also the interchange system doesn’t work, random players playing everywhere especially the ruck.

It also seems the AI is never affected by these issues.

Yeah I think if they just came out and updated the situation from what they know (which could be nothing) it’d help a lot with some of the tension. This is the exact wording I got from Big Ant Support when I asked about it on Thursday

ā€œWe are awaiting the latest update to clear Xbox certification, with an ETA of Monday, 12 May 2025.ā€œ

Hoping it’s soon but who knows, it’s out of their hands completely in this part of the process which is one thing we have to remember

Does anyone know how to upgrade player overall in management mode?

Paying $100 for a game that can’t even be played is amazing. Scam worthy I must say

Keep refreshing to see when the update comes through

I think the most worrying part of this process is 0 transparency as well as the fact that, even though we may receive an update today, we don’t even know if it’s going to make the game playable.

It’s unfortunate that my faith is hanging on by such a thread that I’m considering asking Microsoft for a refund, which is something I never do. I should not have to purchase my game for $100 and be unable to play it until an update comes along to fix it.
