Thanks legend, appreciate you as always :handshake:

@JNT_BA Will there be a Midnight launch for ps5 Xbox and steam Digital version THANKS

Great videos bring on the game coming to the PlayStation store. Super keen for the Management mode video will help me keep planning my North Melbourne Career. Does anyone know who the other content creator is? Though I assume the video will get posted here fairly quickly anyway

It probably showed a high disposal count because he had set the quarter lengths to full length, I’d say with 7.5 min quarters the disposal counts will be more realistic

Loving what i’m seeing, I suggest slowing the footage to .75 and watch all the work off the ball, AI just bumping and jostling over the ground ! It’s good to see !!

The spread once you have ball is very noticeable as well

I think the UI in game is clean too !!

At the 8:21 mark of the video watch the spread out of the D50, Once the AI hit up the short kick the other 2 defenders are just off to the races !

12:10 in the video, running along the wing and gets a ball kicked in their direction. Ai cuts off the mark as PP continues running - that’s actually good to see and the onus is on the player in deciding to get onto the path of the ball it seems. so reading the ball is now important.

That would in fact make sense, I knew I was missing something there :joy:

Small detail but love how you can hear the players communicating with each other. Can’t remember if this was in 23.

So is career mode pre draft just state teams or is it also U18 teams?

For those people expecting NBA2K gameplay, go back to sleep because you are dreaming. The improvements are there without a doubt, it’s not a completely new game, but it was never going to be! The game is only going to get better gradually and anyone that expected a complete shift in style will be greatly humbled.

I ask you to go back and play nba2k11, and then compare it to nba2k12. You won’t have much to say, not a lot of improvements/changes, mostly small things. THEN, compare NBA2k12 with NBA2k20, that’s when you can really see the game has become so much better acrosss multiple instalments that had “less than hoped for” improvements. I’m so excited for the way AFL gaming is going and I am really grateful that Big Ant stuck at this project despite a disappointing launch for 23 by their standards. Well done !

The big take out for me is that it looks like BA have safely crossed the line in terms of this being a new release and not a major patch. This is huge as it would have generated a lot of chatter if it walked the line.

A lot of other things to say based off the footage but what’s the point - we’ll all have our own opinion in two days time.

Tomorrow morning I’ll post the management career video.

This is the longest video as the mode is DEEP

Way more than I expected.

There is also some longer game play too.

New tactics were in full swing which you will see too!

Playing a loose player forward of the ball!

@Pink_Panters Must admit I wasn’t a fan of afl 23 but this one looks amazing.. Is there cut scenes when the whistle blows and gameplay stops for a ball up?/out of bounds/free kick? To give it that tv presentation feel?

That was left on purpose, as per PinkPanters. Same as some stadiums not being shown on the real broadcast side, also a case of being left on purpose.
