You pretty much scripted my next video for ‘AFL 26 Gameplay Tips’.
Hahaha.
But I now REALLY want to know your tackling strategy… I don’t have one, so revert to smothering… maybe more than I even should.

Flick the right stick then tackle - it still works (sshhhh, don’t tell anyone 
)
Right Stick? You mean Square for a bump?
Nope - right stick, then tackle. Just like it used to in AFL live and #23.
@dont_argue04 shared some stuff I held back, hopefully I haven’t just ruined his secret
Edit bump / tackle works too

Hahaha to be honest bumping isn’t really working for me, it works off the ball but If I pick to bump the player in possession it rarely works for me.
I’ll keep that in the back pocket though 
How to tackle:
Hold R1 to suck your player towards the player in possession. Simultaneously hold R2 to close them down as quick as you can before they get a kick/hand passaway. And then simultaneously hold triangle. So all up you’re holding down three buttons at once. Don’t let go until the whistle has gone for a ball up or they’ve got the ball out. If they do get the ball out, make sure you don’t keep holding triangle because you’ll give away a free kick, especially in career mode where it doesnt automatically switch to another player.
Thank me later.

2nd time now, game has crashed while in a ladder leaders game. Lose all my progress and now don’t have another entry ticket.
Thank I’ll try this out tomorrow, any chance we can get this fixed to one button? @JNT_BA
Why is player career so rigged? Ill be at 3qrt time while 5 goals ahead, and then somehow my team turns into under 12s and the other team kicks 6 goals in 3 minutes to win. Has happened 4 times
If there a way to not take the advantage after getting a free kick? As soon as one of my players touch the ball it’s advantage? But when it happens to the AI they don’t have to take the advantage. I’m assuming there is a button for it, would be stupid not to.

No, what he is describing is a combination of seperate functions that will help you in certain situations. Triangle is still tackle. R1 is also the ‘smother’ button as described before as well as homing/pressure ball carrier.
See below for image from controls section.

Interchange not working in Premiership Challenge since release
How do you inbox someone privately, I forgot
I Interchange all the time in Premiership Challenge.
Auto interchange is known to have issues with who it swaps out, so I do Manual interchange and quickly use the mini menu to do so.

What contracts can I apply to Silver or Gold players in Pro Teams? I have a heap of contract cards but showing none available to add them to my uncontracted players.
The little coloured icons on the contract cards say which tiers you can assign them to, and how many contract games they get out of it.
So you might see cards with little icons colours for Bronze, Silver, Gold tiers, maybe with 12, 12, 8 on them… meaning Bronze players would get 12 games, Silver would get 12 games, Gold would get 8 games.
But then you have cards with Emerald and Sapphire only.
And cards with Diamond, Obsidian and Fire Obsidian only.

Does anyone know if repeating ladder leaders returns the same reward as first-time completion? From what I’ve read you don’t get the final reward, so I would assume it would only be beneficial to do each ladder once? Completed the majority of the objectives that are possible at the moment so wondering what other modes to play.
