AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

When I get a Free Kick, sometimes it automatically becomes a advantage, can we please have a option to take or not take a advantage after a Free Kick

I’m pretty sure if you keep off the sprint button it won’t take it (that’s the option to take it or not).

Updated West Coast locker room team song
Corrected “Advance Australia Team” unlock requirements
Corrected “Team work is the thing that talks” unlock requirements
Corrected jostling marking contest disposal queuing
Improved banner crowd
Improved crowd cameras and positioning

not out on xbox yet sadly

Just wanted to point out that in pro team premiere ship challenge mid game it teleports you and the other players all over the place if your aren’t aware of this yet

would love see match interviews in careers modes

New Player Camera… like a 3rd Person camera in Player Career mode.

New update:

Feels like there is a better flow to the game.

Handball run and gun does feel better. Less momentum drop. Although it is still there.

Did the AI get easier? especially kicking out of their defensive 50…..way too many kicks being picked off.

Did marking also get easier?

Playing a wide style and ai doesn’t find space out wide that effectively gotta really drop the ball into space to make them go

The reset in position after a behind which then causes them to bunch up is def annoying

By the players resetting after something like a behind. You know what? WE HAVE NO OPTION TO TAKE A QUICK KICK IN.

Imagine you have a defensive turnover with barely anyone in def 50 and the AI take a shot at the goal. A defender runs back to try to touch it through (so being one of maybe 2-4 players in the def 50) its goes through for a behind and in most real life games he/she would be able to take possession of the ball quickly and then easily find another defender to kick to in a almost empty def 50 - instead right now we have a reset and a swarm of players swarming back in

in saying that had a banger of a game this morning before work

In the two games I played with it, I found pushing Height and FoV too high or low was a bit much for it. 50-50 was actually pretty good in the end.
25 FoV might make it more immersive, bringing you closer to the action.

BTW @Gothelions16 Votes are back for Season mode!
The setting is now there, and turning it on you can go through historical games you’ve played to see the votes in each.

I know it’s early but is there any word on list updates for the mid season draft?

@JNT_BA would the team ever consider putting injury sliders so we can tamper around with the injuries and get a little more variety with injuries.

Would be great to be able to choose the opposition’s guernsey in coach battles. It’s only AI, but they always wear their home jumper which means I barely ever get to wear mine.

What could be good is more common minor injuries and soreness as a result of heavy tackling, lots of sprinting or big bumps/marks that could be resolved by being put on the interchange for a quarter. Then it could impact that players recovery of fitness etc post game for the next match.

@dont_argue04 its Scott Pendlebury on discord.

Just tried playing a match in management mode and the game is really buggy, players glitching and appearing out of no where and every time I press triangle too mark the ball the player just punches it

Well that grinding to 40 was a let down :rofl:

Hahahaha rotten luck mate! Great effort getting to 40 already :grinning_face:
