Is there a Day and Night Cycle?

I canât clarify but it seems that in some game play footage we seen, the shadows take effect, so maybe it is the game, but until @JNT_BA can confirm, I guess we have to wait to tomorrow to wait and see 
I think On-The-Run shots initially needed to take into account the footedness swing and the wind⌠meaning youâd need to aim to the side, or outside of the lines to allow for it to curve inâŚ
But it was taken out, I suppose, for making it too complex in a quick-decision-making thing.
I personally want it back in⌠and have wind affect kicks all over the ground (imagine needing to punch the ball hard into the wind to reach a target 30m away!).
I do however believe the width of the lines currently take into account things like player attributes, distance from goal, which foot are they kicking on, pressure around them, game difficulty level etc.
So thereâs enough factors already⌠just needs to be made harder than set shots so people donât play on all the time!

A monthly mock draft or really any indication re the strength of the draft is a great call!
Helps you manage your list and know which years to hit the draft harder (ie more top end talent with elite potential).
Also a big yes to career stats! Iâd love to be able to flick through the years and see team results, top 5-10 in your club B&F, award winners (Coleman, Brownlow, Rising Star, AA team, etc). Top disposals/goals from players at your club for that season would be unreal.
Tbh I feel like Iâm getting pretty greedy now though - management mode already looks incredible!

I was looking at twistes video and saw there was a boundary throw in, I wouldâve loved if they introduced the blue jostling indicator to this, if you won the jostle you have full range of direction, if thereâs no outcome it sort of goes where ever.
Just a small thing but my as well float it out there

It seems like lineups are shown pregame by my understanding 
also seems injuiries are legit in the game as we have seen and 50 metre penalties return

Agree with that. I think shots on the run are too easy in 23 in comparison to set shots. If theyâre making set shots harder in 26 and not touching on the run shots then that problem will be even worse.
The pace of the bar just needs to be turned up for online games and the reaction of the man on the mark just needs to be slightly quicker then the user kicking the ball to attempt smother/tackle

The game looks the goods the only thing Iâm a little disappointed in is we still donât have a day/night cycle but besides that Iâm looking forward to it

I wonder if this would be feasible for goal kicking on the run.
The core concept is that the width and alignment of the goal posts change dynamically
based on the playerâs movement and nearby pressure.
-
Player Approach Angle Affects Goal Post positioning on the meter:
If the player is not running straight towards the goal (e.g. running diagonally across), the goal posts visually appear narrower and offset in the direction theyâre running. -
Pressure from Nearby Opponents
If an opposing player is close by, the goal posts appear narrower to simulate pressure and reduced focus.
The further away the defender is, the wider and more âopenâ the goal appears to the kicker.

I am very keen for this new game.
Player Career was definitely missed for me in AFL 23 and the new Management Career seems WAY more detailed.
I am curious if your AFL 26 profile will be able to be used on more than one system.
For example I will probably get the game on Steam. However if I can use the same exact profile on the future Nintendo Switch 2 version, I might buy that version too.
Obviously Steam version for at home use, Switch 2 version for any portable use.
