AFL LIVE 2012 GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Hey, just heard the news today that there is a new AFL LIVE coming July 16th. Anyone else as pumped as I am?

[Household Demon 34]

no

[Deestroy All 14,261]

lol+wtf

haha!! yeahh

The current version plays live match streaming 4:3 aspect ratio, cutting off the left and right hand side of the picture (dropping the time remaining etc.)

But replays are full 16:9. So you ask why.

Answer from Telstra: blame the 'broadcaster'. Presumably Foxtel is doing this to make their product better than the one you get with the AFL Live app. Telstra should tell Fox (and thus partly themselves) to stop playing games or they will lose subscriptions.

As someone who doesn't want all the extra stuff you pay for with Foxtel, I think the app and its pricing are pretty good.

But they seem to lose the plot during the Carlton -C Wood match. Screen goes blank for several minutes. Too many users I guess. The app seems fine for MFC matches. So there is some upside being a Demon's fan.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

no

Well thats a shame now isnt it

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

@ Household Demon, I thought we were a good combo online, what happened to that?

i get excited about these games every year, since AFL 1999 came out.
They are always so so so so bad, and full of bugs and i get disappointed.
Rinse, and then repeat.
Would love EA to take hold of one and do something with it.
*sigh*
A gamer can dream.

That is exactly what i feel

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Couldn't agree more.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

It's actually a really good game, no joke, especially when u have a good ability to play with another person i.e Household Demon and Deelirious

Might give it a burl.

Have always thought EA would be a great fit (especially with potential world exposure and how they consistently deliver the goods on all sports) but the AFL will never go for it. They make heaps more money from getting local virtually unknown companies to make the games and that's why there has never been an above average AFL game.

My personal preference would be Rockstar though it'd be highly unlikely. But that would be the best company to make an AFL game.

As bad as the AFL games are I still play the hell out of them, it's the only chance I get to see Melbourne winning a premiership and it's a bit of fun getting Clark a Coleman, Jones a Brownlow and Trengove a Norm Smith.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

I cannot wait till the next game. It's actually gonna be amazing, whoever makes the next game

[Household Demon 34]

I cannot wait till the next game. It's actually gonna be amazing, I will probably get wet over it

[Household Demon 34]

It will hopefully be good

I'll be extremely pumped if it has a franchise option like Madden of Fifa.

Ahah why I like the suggestion of Rockstar making the game, it would end up being a game where players play AFL as we know it, but are also given a weapon each in the style of Battle Royale (and for the not so film/book savvy Demonlanders: Hunger Games).

Now that would make the game very interesting!

As a kid I used to love a game called brutal football on PC. If you couldn't win the game by getting the ball in the oppositions goal you could pick up a sword and cut opponents heads off. I'm hoping they include this for the Melbourne team.

A straight-up sports game with no weapons but hey, maybe you've only heard of them because of GTA.

No, no no. I am well aware of their other escapades.

But hey, way to ruin the joke I was having.
