AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

Sorry if this is the wrong place but how do I get in contact with an admin around here? Having some technical issues with creating a topic

It’s saying on the board it’s your first post - that could be the reason.

Is there a way to do like a fantasy draft in managment mode so i can draft whoever and make my own team? If so will this feature be added?

You can jostle, bump players off the ball. Just got to select them.

Also, timing your jump does influence contests against taller players. Like real football you need to be in front of them and jump early. Assuming equal marking ability, a taller player will always have an advantage over a smaller one though.

True in part, but it is still heavily influenced by the marking system, which pulls your player into the contest. You cant even move your player into front position or back position and or behind or in front of the the drop zone to hold space. Cause of the magnetism into the contest which then becomes a timing game.

What I’m saying is that I want more freedom to control the player (super important in player career) and to perform actions such as bumping, engaging in body contact, and jumping for the mark manually, with full control over when, which essentially means more freedom and less magnetism.

anyone know how finals work in premiership challenge

Still no updated lists from mid-season draft.

im really confused, if anyone goes back and watches twistie3 playing AFL 23 early from like 2 years ago the AI looked elite and the gameplay looked amazing, i just dont know why they didnt have gameplay like that in AFL 26

Yeah, that would be so good if that was a feature

The new objectives for diamond Tom Green and Matt Rowell are a fantastic addition.

Well done Big Ant!

What is the best way to go about getting the tackles objective done fast? How have you been going about that?

If you play 5 minute games while doing these objectives you should easily a average 20 tackles per game, this will help you get the 100 tackles down within 5/6 games you need to field 23 bronze and silver ice players

I did this on 2.5 min quarters but you’d be safer to do this on 5 !

It’s much easier than AFL23 so you shouldn’t have a issue

What is a basic card mentioned in the challenges?

Well looks like I’ve gotta get 23 ice cold players then :rofl:

A basic card will be one of the ones you got in your starting deck. You can check out which ones are labeled basic in your card menu

I know I have and others had their say on tackling the CPU but my god it’s frustrating what they can do while getting tackled even on the easier difficulty’s :melting_face: it’s clearly been done on purpose but doesn’t make it any less frustrating! It’s like what’s even the point in trying to tackle the CPU when they can do whatever they like in the tackle, in a split second too! And can’t forget to mention the fact when the CPU tackles you they can do it from 5 meters away and always get a free kick for incorrect disposal :neutral_face:

Ive said this before but 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.
