So there's this AFL strategy game being developed. It's along the lines of "Championship Manager" (for those who know what I'm talking about), but for Aussie rules of course.

premiership coach

The game will rely upon assigned "ratings" to determine the behaviour of players on field. These ratings are scores out of 100, and are general as well as specific e.g. "agility", "courage", "aggression", "speed" etc.

Anyway, I'm a little concerned that the bloke who is supposed to be doing the stats forMelbourne doesn't know what he's on about. For instance, he attributes a speed rating of 84 for Wonaeamirri (presumably because he is aboriginal?) and a rating of 61 for Martin (maybe because he's tall?).

Now I don't want to knock whoever has put their hand up to help out with this project - it's more than I have done or will do probably, but if any of you football tragics are interested in helping out in this tedious off-season you might want to check out the forum.

That way I don't have to do anything and I won't have to put up with an unduly sluggish Martin.

The tentatively expected date of release is March this year.

Going by what is on their forums, the stats will be balanced closer to release.

A similar game from a few years ago was called AFL coach by Kevin Sheedy I think. Not bad to play.

The Sheeds one was based on the 01 season. There's obviously the forum for that game but they probably need more contributors, or at least 1 REALLY good contributor who can be unbias and has seen most, if not all, the players play.

The most annoying thing about Premiership Live was that first year players all had EXACTLY the same attributes apart from height lol

All previous AFL games have been [censored], whether coaching or actual play games...but Premiership Coach looks to be coming along quite well with a lot more detail and effort than previous [censored] poor efforts.
