Is it worth picking up the game this weekend or just wait? Specifically on Xbox Series X

Is there an online tutorial or manual for Pro Team?

The 2 differently coins/points currency and how they work and buying/selling players. I thought you would be able to accrue cash to buy players but it seems that only comes from selling players.

Also the different game modes, playing with your pro team which mode is the comp against other online players?

Pro teams hot if you like getting good players for that it’s great game I’m playing pro team more than career

Also anyone else pick their starting line up, then the game starts and its defaulted back to another line up?

Hey if you search up diamond auctions the reserve a was 30000 PTC coins for Nick daicos 93 overall and someone has bidded 79000 coins let’s discuss this because no way someone’s spent 180$ on that what!!!

Enjoying the game even with limited time playing on xbox series x. I know there are more immediate higher priorities being worked on, just some early observations that could be interesting to know if possible with later improvements:

  • understanding the complication implementing day night cycle simulation, but what about more dynamic weather. Even if this were quarter by quarter where there could be minor shifts in the wind direction and speed. Similarly could this be done with rainy weather where some quarters for instance the rain sets in more or it clears up.
  • adding to this as previously mentioned, the slight impacts to ball physics, player movement and gameplay with the really poor conditions. So a wet soggy contest where attributes of marking, kicking accuracy, kicking distance, tackling effectiveness etc are impacted. I don’t think this would need to be a great adjustment, even as a slider option where all relative attributes are reduced by a small percentage.
  • in general gameplay there seems to be a lot of kick mark type play, especially with ai. Adjusting this to be more open where kicks are out in space or infront/behind making contest which could give more run and carry with the player having space and time to assess the next handball.
  • another observation mentioned in another post is the kick for goal under pressure that seemingly ends mostly in goals. Perhaps some adjustment to the accuracy of these kicks while the player is being tackled (higher chance for a poor kick power and accuracy) and even when under pressure surrounding by opposition with a quick kick or handball where it has slightly less impact on accuracy. Noting that players with higher attributes and ratings in these areas are less affected by this. This could avoid those spillage goals by ai opposition anywhere really in the 50.

I know these aren’t priority but more thoughts for others observations and positive discussion

Any advice on marking? Find it a real struggle with the new system. Do you have to jostle first before the mark or is it more a timing thing with getting it into the dotted circle? Everything else is fine.

Are my posts asking about ANZAC and Indigenous guernseys being deleted or hidden or something? Not one person ever has acknowledged or replied to them at all, not even a snarky remark like ā€œfocus on gameplay then thatā€. I just simply want to know if they will be coming, I don’t need an ETA, I just want to know if at some point the 2025 ANZAC and Indigenous guernseys will be coming, or at least that there are plans to add them. I understand the licensing for indigenous guernseys can be a pain to work around cos of the third party designers, but I don’t wanna know if they are getting approved or not, just that if there are plans to add them.

Dotted circle when it closes then click it, I’m not even sure if you can jostle (X) on Xbox then mark because I’m pretty sure once you jostle there’s a cool down to mark so whatever your overall defender/forward is better than the forward/defender of the opposition you just need to time the (mark).

Yeah surely this has to be next on the patch menu!
Its so frustrating, the none sprint and the AI glitching in front, you cannot play as a forward in Pro Career mode!

yeah that’s actually so crazy haha, i’m intrigued on how many players are playing PT right now - it’s quite hard to know how much to list/purchase players for

I sniped a gold Jamie Elliott for 112 tokens worth like 70 cents so that’s a win

In management mode when you select the VFL team can you put the afl players in there that arnt getting a game?

Hi i’ve been seeing a lot of Xbox complaints, is the game okay? I plan on getting it on friday

Its fine I’m updated to 1.0.0867 but multiplayer is a pain you can’t find anyone to play with its broke ATM U can’t crossplay diff consoles nevermind found a PlayStation player and the guys a gold player with foundation card and 13 emeralds great How DO PEOPLE GET THIS GOOD TEAMMM, and I just crashed… I think I crashed due to a silent update but I think it’s another crash problem

i might get it the next week when more patches are in. luckily i have a good mate named chuck getting it for me so not too much stress whether its money well spent or not
