Greetings from the AFL 26 forum!
Just wanted to point out that Pro Team in AFL26 has 3 modes. 1 that is online playing against others (Premiership Challenge) and the other 2 are in fact āofflineā where you play V the AI (Coach Battles & Ladder Leaders). I say āofflineā because as someone has already pointed out you need an internet connection to play the game.
I myself play the 2 offline modes and absolutely love it!
Itās also perfectly viable to grind away to earn cards/rewards etc and end up with a very good team without spending a cent. Buying packs most definitely short cuts this, but is by no means essential.
I havenāt played it, but I believe Cricket has a similar set up.
Hopefully for you guys, it will be the same type of system when it is introduced

Canāt remember which one, either Live 2 or 3, they linked different stats together, there was no goal kicking stat, and ended up with all the front rowers as goal kickers. Iād prefer that not happen again.

If the stats you guys are discussing are from the gameplay leak, those are not final.
NRL offical post is what theyre talking bout brev
Like the ratings actually have a difference on annythjng anyway. They wonāt. They are just numbers. I bet props still run at unrealistic speeds and the game as a whole moves like touch footy.

Hey mate, what legends can you unlock in AFL. Any 90s dudes like Plugger or just more recent retirees? Keen for the league legends but im thinking the rights to them may be to hard for bigant.
To make the producer as much money as possible

Feel like a boomer asking this because I donāt know a lot about current gen gaming, I last owned a ps4 like 2020 but this new handheld Xbox thatās coming out or stem deck(no clue what that is but heard bout it) - will RL26 be playable on one of them? Considering buying one just for this lol

Hey mate, itās a bit of a mixed bag at the moment. A lot of them are current coches/assistants (eg. Michael Voss) and recent retirees with the odd older one thrown in. (Peter Bosustow, Sav Rocca). Iām guessing that most of them need some type of individual agreement but not 100% sure. I would guess thereās some sort of past players association but licence negotiation may be a bit more difficult there?
Itās a shame that Tru Blu held the earlier licence from 2010 otherwise thereās potentially 100ās of players from that era that could be added as well.
Iām sure it will build over time though.

Hey guys, long time, I see yesterday that was an event at NRL HQ, a bunch of NRL creators went and from what I can see alot of them got face scanned.
Will these people be playable in game? I planned on making a bunch of these guys in the fan hub, but if theyāre already in the game I wonāt bother

Itās funny to see after all these years that the marketing and social media presence of bigant is so bad lol. Showing a 20 second video of freddy holding a controller saying content will drop over āthe next dayā.
Elaborate way to say, youāll see nothing until you have the game. Whether itās good or not.
Also surely EVA doesnāt stand for Evasion? If so how is Angus Crichton 90

Why is Hughes card purple, no one noticed that one. Must be a mistake right?
These ratings are ridiculous though and have found from leaks they are heavily copying FIFA , even the menu colour is black and green.
Couldnāt be any more obvious. The card look and the rating styles are very similar. Not a fan of how many high rated players there are but we will see

I wish there were a mini-game when making contact in the tackle for the attacker and defender, even if itās just a matter of tapping a button or pointing the analog stick in a direction to drive or drag a player.
Ball strips should be utilized to the full potential and an option to drop players from a 2&3 man tackle to attempt a strip would make defending less tedious.
Bring back mid/low tackling!
A lot of emphasis on the gameplay has been placed on the attack, but Iām hoping the defending is more than just controlling a player and then running at the ball carrier.
Releasing gameplay footage/screenshots/info etc isnt big ants decision to make.
Payne Haas coming in at 92. Damn these ratings are too high and doesnt leave much improvement for the legends cards..
