AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

Did I dream it or did someone share a screenshot of someone getting suspended. Has anyone had this happen in a match? Simulated or one they played.

Just watched j.cameron engage his man early to protect the drop zone and allow the ball to go out the back and for him to run onto an open goal…….would be nice if the game would allow this, current marking system will pull you in. Another reason to have less assistance in the contest.

Everyone here are the leagues/regions I will be creating

Leagues are:
Geelong Football League
Goulburn Valley Football League
Ballarat Football League
Ovens & Murray Football League
Hampden Football League
Mornington Peninsula Nepean FL
Murray Football League
Wimmera Football League
Sunraysia Football League
West Gippsland Football League
Bellarine Football League
Central Murray FL
Outer East FL
Riddell District FL
Central Highlands FL
North Central FL
Colac & District FL
Ovens & King FL
Bending FL

There’s 0 stoppages if you play on the hardest difficulty. They kick/handball out of a tackle every single time

The standing handball once tackled, is just as bad as the play on shot for goal imo, that has to be nerfed asap. The fact you can just be in a standing tackle for a few seconds and wait for your player to find space and feed them is just ridiculous. It’s not like its just one random one either, you can literally do a chain of 5 of them to have a shot on goal.

This is not true, I play on hardest and have plenty of stoppages from tackling.

Change AI pressure awareness and all the other ai sliders lol. Change the ai sprint and run speeds. Change umpiring leniency sliders. Change tackle effectiveness sliders and tackle distance and timing sliders. The out marking is a skill issue, time it better or get into a better position. Simple :man_shrugging:. I literally do not have a single issue that you are having because I tweaked the sliders.

To add something to this, imho marking is all really about timing and who is in the contest (players with high marking stats I guess. For example t.Stewart just marks over everyone, taller or shorter, late to the contest or flat footed).

Positioning doesn’t really matter. Unless you quickly pick someone to cut it off.

anyone else having the problem of being kicked from the game every time you enter a game mode?

I’m also having a laugh about this

Why are you laughing?

Because within your rant I can’t work out if this is an exaggeration or it’s actually happening. If it’s not counted as a mark then you haven’t marked it have you

It’s paid as a mark but then called for holding the ball before even attempting to kick.

Ok now that makes more sense, once you mark it make sure you don’t kick it too quickly, let the AI stand on the mark

Same thing every game, I was gaining massive lead and the ai has just taken 3 hangers and won every clearence to get back into the game

Anyone got any idea why I keep getting a messaging saying I can’t start the game or app, it’s coming up can’t install update but when I check for an update it says its the latest version I have

If you’re holding sprint it’ll play on and most times the ai will tackle you before the ā€œplay onā€ notification is shown or the umpire audio plays

Honestly, it’d be cool if for Player Career Mode and like Coaches mode you could go into a menu where you can see your awards. Like your brownlows, premierships, norm smiths, All Australian’s, etc. I just feel like winning awards is a big part of someones career in real life so there really should be a spot to view it in these modes.

Yep I’m getting a lot of lag, and most of my games my players start the first 15 seconds or so unresponsive.

Game is coming along really well though. Latest patch has some great gameplay and QL features

Does anyone know how to change player ratings for management mode?
