AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

I think the actual issue with tackling is not whether the player or AI can get the ball out, but more in terms of how strong the kick or handball is that gets out.

i think the devs in one of the videos pre-launch were like reduction in stoppages were a focus of the game and more spills after a tackle - it is just spilling out unnaturally and beachball like. having balls spill out is great to keep the game flowing - but not when it looks like one of those high bounce balls.

And one other thing to come from it is the recovery rate of the player tackling

you get a tackle in - AI spills the pill - the player who laysthe tackle TAKES AGES to get up and recover - Yes I can switch to another player but the recovery time is wayyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooo longggggggggg

I feel like this has most definitely been toned down in the latest patch.

Perfect mate! I wonder if JNT would consider adding all of your explainers in a new (maybe pinned?) topic. No replies allowed, just the collection of videos so they don’t get lost in the megathread

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

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.

@JNT_BA wondering if we could get a “max potential” slider in the player stats menu, sets the level they can get to in your academy

also anyway we could just play management carrer mode with our editable copies of teams? even being able to see custom rosters for AFL teams when entering Carrer mode so you can have whatever team you want when drafted, if not maybe the ability to control the roster so there won’t be any randoms playing naybe even a “request trade for player” to build ur Carrer mode teams

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
