I made a logo for my Pro Team, be cool if you could get a card that was ‘Custom Emblem’ so we could use them too

You need to wait until the last split second to commit to mark. One thing I really like is that positioning also has a huge influence. Man in front has the advantage typically, like real football. As does kicking out in front of a player.
Stats and height have a big influence too. McGovern is a gun at intercept marks in the game. Liam Ryan has a great marking ability but loses out to bigger opponents. Sam Draper kills me, but his kicking skills are terrible in game.
Something I’ve found disappointing is that Big Ant have gone away from dynamic lighting they’ve had in their cricket games, which was one aspect I thought very impressive. Shadows would move across the ground over time, and lighting would change. It seems like the shadows and lighting for a twilight game doesn’t change for the duration of a game. I could be wrong, but I haven’t noticed it. Even if the second half of a twilight game was played at night.
Speaking of shadows, arvo and twilight games are hard to track ball and player movement because none of Big Ant games seem to take into account the penumbra effect. Shadows are too defined and the contrast between being in and out of a shadow is too absolute. Many other sports games do this much better - eg: FIFA, where the edge of shadows is much softer and realistic.

couldn’t agree more, the shadows need to be changed

Do we know how up to date Xbox is? It would be great to know what to expect / patch notes would be really handy.
Big time. Not all of us have 75" TVs. The instructions in the tutorials are tiny. They could easily be twice the size, if not more, and still fit comfortably.

tackling in this game is so cooked it actually ruins the game
Need online stability patch for Xbox as it’s so laggy and glitches
Every time my player comes off for a rest on the bench, it ends up adding A LOT of disposals to my player. Not sure how common this is ( I play on PC). If this could be rectified, it just helps to know what my disposal count actually was and in comparison to rest of the league i end up way higher up which feels imbalanced.

Hey its not letting me load into pro team why is this???
What platform are you on
In what way?
Ive turned up tacking distance in the sliders to 90. And when I tackle I hold triangle and R2. Makes the game much more contested and stops the AI from getting away.
It’s very common—sometimes I pause the game to check the stats, and suddenly an extra 10 or so disposals appear. I’m left wondering how I’m leading in disposals when I had at most 3 before pausing. It’s strange because this doesn’t even happen when my player comes off the field, it happens like after a stoppage or a reset in play like a goal…like how can I get like 30 touches when I’ve had like 5 with none effective…
Does anyone know how to make the marking better in player career? Im in good positioning running forward of my defender and then when the ball comes my way my player just jogs slowly to it. It locks you into a movement you cant control and then it wont even let me mark it if i do end up being in front
Great idea, we need this
Yeah it is a really good idea, unfortunately I doubt we’ll ever get it though. Too many people would make inappropriate logos and upload them.

I suppose technically they can do that now in Academy (PC can upload an SVG, which consoles are made in the custom editor in game), and I think you can report the inappropriate ones.
But yeah… in Pro Team, a card for a custom logos, a card for a custom guernsey, a card for a custom stadium would be AWESOME.
Needing some way for them to be downloaded by your opponent so they would see them also.

Im #6 in pro team on the ladder closest is 130 points behind me Im 8th spot on ladder, so will I keep going up because I’m pretty sure I earn 5-15 points per match even if I get smashed and 30-60 points on a win so if I keep playing matches they can’t catch me is that how it works? I never played afl23 so have no idea

Basic math mate if you get smashed and get 15 premiership points for the loss and if someone below you wins and gets 40-50 points for the win, they will eventually catch you 
Do you verse same people in your # on the ladder or sometimes higher/lower???
