I can understand people thinking and feeling that way, and for what it’s worth communication around all of that stuff is something I conveyed even as a concern of my own the last time I was there, but there are a wide range of reasons why they can and can’t do things which is often as equally as frustrating to them as it is to us.
For full clarity as well I was never asked to or told to pass on messages at any point in time, I did and do what I do because like everyone else I’m a gaming nuffy and am as excited as everyone else with whats to come.
That’s why I respect you the selflessness, doing things for the AFL Gaming community and at the same time having fun always loved watching your streams can’t wait for the return
Pls fix ur game i bought afl 23 and played pro team and couldnt play it because i would get disconnected from ps network and lose the game this has happened for 9 months so dont ruin afl 26 like u did to afl 23
Starting to believe a delay is near certain absolutely 0 coming out almost like the game dosent exist still have hope for a trailer soon or something but seriously doubting this is happening on may 8th
Obviously nothing to go off but I’m on the side we will get the release next Thursday. From what I can see things seem ready to go and it’s just a matter of time before some kind of trailer or screenshots. BA I think have just been silently going about this game. JNT got a copy last week which means I’d assume there must be copies ready to go.
Huh? AFL 23’s launch disaster had nothing to do with the promotion. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. AFL 23 was well promoted to the point of having the AFL and players on board for a preview night.
If AFL 26 has truly corrected itself and is indeed a good game, how would promoting that be a mistake? Showing nothing might prevent a few nuffies on facebook from posting “Ps2 gRaPhIcS” but they weren’t buying the game anyway. Staying dead silent does nothing other than fill actual potential customers with the assumption that if we’re not seeing anything, it’s because there’s not actually anything worth seeing.
I’m sorry but I really don’t follow your logic here.
a better version of AFL23 - ‘you’re charging us for fixing bugs!’
a really good ‘new’ game - ‘you should have done this the first time! But where’s missing feature X and Y and also Joe Bloggs has died his hair now do you even watch footy ha ha’
game is bad or has bugs at launch - we won’t hear the end of it.
This is a near certain outcome and if I’m wrong in two weeks then happy days.
My prediction is that it will be a better version of 23 with a few day one bugs that ppl will freak out over because that’s the only thing that seems to happen these days.
If I’m right, and in a few months time it’s clearly the best AFL game we’ve had then hopefully we get a reset and comments around better communication will no longer be the loaded proposition it’s become.
i think all people want, is just a good afl game, whether afl 26 will be that… we don’t know yet, i think if they put all their focus onto the gameplay rather than graphics, then it has a chance, but also looking at the fact that it’s a $90-100 game and there’s still been nothing a week and a bit from release (not having a go at big ant, because i know some company’s also do this)
I’m going to assume as another marketing strategy instead of releasing heaps of footage and gameplay/feature videos for people to take assumptions/criticism on and speculate about it that they would much prefer the game do the talking which is why they have people like @Pink_Panters going in to first hand try the game out and give accurate and valid first hand experience! Would be a much better idea after the release of AFL 23 which left a lot to be desired, either way I do hope they go in and test the game soon so we can take a deep dive into how the game actually plays and then I believe will give people a much better idea of wether or not the game is for them! Leaving it pretty late either way but keeping my hopes up
