AFL 26 - Megathread - This is not a support forum

I’m not seeing the same.
Each update for me has been fixing up previous crashes. I’m finding it a lot more stable now.

What platform are you on?

What types of designs are you suggesting?

I just watched ‘Razor’s Edge’ on Fox via YouTube, and they were discussing how Sam Darcy was umpired in the marking contest last Thursday.

A few things the defenders did and got away with is currently not achievable in-game, but should.

I feel like being able to manually put some body contact on your opponent (not bumping or jostling) would be a good thing - the current system i think, is preventative of that behaviour as they are magnetised into a marking contest

jumping early against a taller player to take him out of the contest (albeit a free was given away)

The marking system is better than 23, but more freedom to do stuff like this would be nice.

Agree with you, once the current objectives are complet there really isn’t much else to grind or play for.

More objectives, maybe another online mode of some sort, I still love how the old ultimate team modes used to have those divisions 10 → 1 with 10 games to get promoted, demoted and win rewards without having to wait a week, end of season for the payout.

So much potential with the mode, the more content pumped into it the better

Collared guernsey styles, updated collars with the 2025 guernseys, some updated designs (for example the new bulldogs clash guernsey the the stripes slanted slightly or even the freo stealth guernsey design with the chevrons being outlined). just things like that would be awesome.

Yeah. I’d also like to be able to move the numbers and/or have then on the front.

Is there a reason why every time I play premiership challenge I will be up in the game and then it randomly signs me out of PSN but takes me straight to the pro team menu :sob::person_facepalming: Also, K was up by 7 or 8 goals. Every other mode works perfectly fine for me on pro team so can’t be a internet issue

Really like the fatigue animation with players unable to sprint to get to the ball…awesome. Hopefully this is in RL26.

Had an absolute pearler of a moment in a game last night. Was streaming out of defence about to hit up a lead between half back and the wing. As I release the kick - ping! The bloke leading does his hammy, grabs at it and the ball goes straight over his head to his opponent, and a turnover results. Cracked up as I saw the guy start to hobble off..

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
