The bump from Smith on Sinclair - wonder if you could interact with opposition players off the ball like a bump or trip (especially in career mode)? Getting dropped and having to work your way back into the team or being suspended for an action would be pretty cool.

No multi console online mode :pensive_face: that was legitimately the best feature in Evo 2. The banter with mates was unreal

Just wanted to confirm something—if I remember correctly, you used Champion Data to build the player stats and ratings for AFL 23, right?

If so, is that partnership continuing going forward? And are you also exploring the use of more official data sources to develop your AI systems? As I feel like having realistic player movements and actions if crucial for gameplay and especially player career mode where you are essential relying on the AI to be good to have a good experience.

Champion Data offers some really in-depth insights, and even the data available through the AFL app seems like it could be quite valuable for building out more realistic gameplay.

I’ve told the misses she won’t see me for a few days when the game releases, I can already tell this player career mode is going to consume me

Not holding my breath but I’d love to know how the player attributes are generated. e.g. TOTW cards with a kicking stat two points higher - so their DE was up by x% for that match?

Someone with a CD account and too much time on their hands could probably reverse engineer some of this.

So much data is captured and used to analyse performance nowadays.

So true. Also utilising the telstra tracker for formations would be unreal if thats possible

Pretty sure every player nowadays has a gps tracker.

Data is there, just whether ba has access to it.

If they did, how do they use the data.

Example would be.

Heat maps of where players play on the ground.

Running patterns

%of time walking, jogging, sprinting.

Top sprint speed and how long they can maintain it.

Combine that with more tactics and it’s genuine fifa level. So much easier said than done though

This is such a picky thing, and I honestly don’t mind whether it gets added or not, but it’s just something I noticed in the trailer whether we’ll eventually get the LED fences on level 3 and 4 of the MCG. Again, it’s not really important, but it would be nice to see.

Thanks. Excited to check some of these out except for the Gerard part.

How good is the extra effort being put into YT uploads by all the footy shows. It’s a cornucopia.

Pretty sure BA have access to all Carlton’s stuff and some or all of AFLW. Maybe it’s expanded since getting the licence back.

this is a good question

What news are we expecting today
