Player Career Mode

AFL 26

I haven’t gotten a single issue with career mode yet but theres still some weird things that happen after year 2 or 3. Pretty much every teams overall goes into the 60’s and the team you play on pretty much always finishes bottom 2. i simmed a whole 25 year career to see and only made finals three times where none were won and the rest were all bottom 2 finishes with % in the 50’s. won nearly every brownlow though

My thoughts on career mode.

  1. Defending - Have a player indicator pointing to your direct opponent or say “hold LB to chase direct opponent” just to give some idea on where to be as a defensive player and when the opposition has the ball. (Maybe this comes with more positioning skill although mine is quite high)

  2. Tackling needs to be made a bit stronger in contests, I feel there’s too many quick kicks out while the tackler is just getting there, needs to be more dropping/holding the ball. Maybe a tutorial video on how to properly tackle just for me haha after two games I still don’t quite understand what you want me to do to lay one :joy:

  3. Running/sprinting- my career player not sprinting to get to the drop of the ball for a mark even with stamina, instead ends up making it on the bounce slowly. Also the stamina drain while jogging is understandable but maybe the rate needs to be turned down. Seems like my direct opponent can run all day yet I run 30m and am cooked.

  4. Subs - Probably should’ve gone captain and turned auto subs off so probably my fault but unless Michael Voss is coach I don’t think your 190cm big bodied mid should be taking a rest in the ruck :joy: also think my ruckman is shorter than me for some reason (WAU18s)

  5. Marking - seems a bit random and hard to move to right position when the ball is in the air. No one to jostle with but doesn’t run to the area required even though I’m trying to make him go there. Maybe another video :joy: could even exist by now

Crashing - thinks it’s been addressed in the megathread and coming on an update soon but my career seems to crash every time I’m winning and never when I’m losing…

Overall though love the game mode and will end up playing a lot of it.

Same here mate, every time i try to load into the match the game crashes just before the first siren. Paaid 100 bucks for this game and i cant even access all the features.
