No, there are no cross-platform save options at this time.
Tbh it raises another issue where right now, it feels like the player to contest magnetism kicks in too aggressively when the ball is headed toward goal. If the contest marker is set a few metres past the goal line, my defender often gets dragged into the marking contest instead of being able to hold position on the line. As a result, we lose the opportunity to:
ā¢ Manually position players at the goal line.
ā¢ Time a jump to spoil or touch the ball as itās crossing.
ā¢ Make a realistic defensive effort to stop a goal, especially when in a perfect spot to punch it through.
It feels like the system prioritises marking contests over defensive positioning, even when itās more appropriate to be on the line trying to spoil

Still constantly crashes on PC if thats any help to you. I did the ticket thing and it just wiped my career mode, started a new one, admittedly i seem to be able to play back to back games at times, but more often than not it takes probably an hour and a half for me to complete a game due to it just crashing constantly
No crashes on ps5 and game is pretty good, played some player career mode this morning. Manual handball allow some easy possession by getting the ball into spaceā¦ā¦ā¦.weird that I found myself on the bench a few times in the 1st qtr and then afterwar stayed on the ground for the rest of the match.
Oh and the weird stats that gets generated still bugs meā¦.
30 something disposals when in reality I had like 10ish and I would think only 2 were effective (both inside 50s leading to vic metros only 2 goals against wa who put 20 goals against usā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
Also as someone who plays with a short player 1.7m not being to hold space or block out space in a marking contest and getting dragged into the marking position, only for a taller player to come over the top of me is annoyingā¦ā¦ā¦.a short player would beenfit jumping early for the ball to hit their chest and not overhead where a taller player would have the advantage
@JNT_BA anyway we could get a āCarrer accoladesā feature to the player info menu, would be nice to see what weāve won like premierships and brownlows

Ha! Setās watch for 11 to see whatās in the new packs on the storeā¦
Had a player career game with j Henry
Disposal count seemed like it didnāt end up being random? Best game so far with a ton of intercept marks and good quality disposals
Random disposal numbers are better Maybe? Will need to review the gameplay footage to see if the numbers are accurate.
Tackling still ineffective in stopping effective kicks away.
AI still needs improvement (lots of weird kicks and disposals leading to turnovers) but game still generally fun.
Still hate the magnetism and player stopping mid run to wait to receive the pill.
Had a full game 10min qtr no crashes

Video Idea for @BoodDesigns and @GWSHARPY
So I was thinking if the video could be like can any team in AFL 26 beat the Essendon 2000 team (Team I am currently creating).
Thoughts?
Has anyone completed a full season in management mode yet? Keen to see if the draft is better than in AFL23.
Alright so I havenāt posted in here as much over the last few weeks as iāve turned to basically online quick\ custom matches but my favourite mode in this game is Pro Team, iāve been pondering how to keep someone engaged in the mode once completing the level progression so iāll just post a few thoughts below.
I had been grinding Pro Team pretty hard until I hit Level 40 & Rank 1 on premiership challenge a couple weeks ago now, iāve smashed through all the weekly and season objectivesā¦
and now Iām just sitting here for the rest of the season with nothing to really play for.
At this point, it kind of took the motivation out of me to keep logging in to Pro Team other than claim my daily rewards streak. I donāt want to waste contracts just to play meaningless games, especially when I feel like iāve already done enough to secure the end of season rewards for Rank 1, as iām pretty safe from going down to Rank 2 in premiership mode imo.
I could still keep going after the base objectives, but I donāt get XP any more as iām maxed out and the rewards donāt really excite me enough right now to grind all the possessions atm.
So hereās a few ideas on how Pro Team could be improved for players who finish things quickly and need more to do:
Prestige System After Level 40
Once you hit level 40, XP is non existent. Why not add a prestige system where you keep earning XP ?
You could get some cosmetic rewards like badges, crowd chants, or banners? Even just bragging rights stuff would keep me and other players grinding.
Each Prestige could be like 100,000xp and the rewards get better the more you play
Example
P1 100K XP - Bronze Season 1 playing strip
P2 200K XP - Silver Season 1 playing strip, Banner
P3, 300K xp - Gold Season 1 playing strip, Banner, Crowd chant
P4, 400K xp - Special Loan player for 10 games with buffed stats
P5, 500k xp - Cosmetic centre bounce logo for all your home games with gamer tag in it
You get the point but there is a endless amount of options it can go, not only would this keep your top tier player base fully engaged for the 54 day week current seasons but It will encourage more players to keep smashing through Pro Team because who wouldnāt want to be running around in a fully gold kit as a flex lol
Even adding in an extra mode but itās greyed out until you reach 40
- Have the reward system a lot better than the coach battles and ladder league systems, make users only able to play these games with specific line ups (all vic players) this will encourage more pack buying which is good for the growth of the company in purchase of pro team coins to build these specific teams.
Pro Team has a solid base and I do love the way bigant have put their own twist on it to make it their own but for players who grind hard and get everything done in the first 3-4 weeks of a 54 day season, thereās just no reason to keep turning up each day to play other than claiming your daily streaks.
I know a prestige tier isnāt getable for everyone but I think having it as a goal to go for if you want to is enough to make me want to play more.
If the goal is to keep players returning every day this will sure keep all invested and drive consistent engagement (and even more pack openings), this kind of stuff should be a no-brainer.
Let me know what you all reckon.
