Anyone purchased the new AFL game yet? I bought it at the beginning of the weekend.

The gameplay isn't too bad, very similar to the previous games. I was particularly looking forward to the career mode in which you create your own player and take control of the club - the interface for this isn't very friendly and after 2013 season I took the Dees to 9 and 13 and I was sacked! So not too sure what is going on there.

Any thoughts?

I got it for my 11 year old son (it arrived from JB HiFi last Monday) and he has been playing it every day since. From the sounds coming out of his room, he seems to be loving it, but he did comment that he had to relearn all of the basic controls because they had changed with this version (he also has AFL 1). His also came with a small metallic blue Auskick style footy.

Had never heard of 2 coming out, but in terms of Gameplay, the first one was rubbish. I guess AFL is just not big enough in the world to attract a really good developer. When you look at something like Fifa they are nowhere near each other. Hopefully with time it'll get better

I suppose there just isn't enough interest from gamers to warrant putting a lot of money into making it either, not many people will buy it.

I feel a bit too old to playing it now!

I personal hate these types of games but that no reason other should not enjoy them.

As I am more a MMO gamer myself.

The average age for gamers in Australia was around 32 last I saw.

I have player with guys around the world but the oldest I think was a South Australian lady who I guess was over 70. So you are never too old to play.

:):):)

That's good news, I've got a good decade left then before I even hit the average. I'm going to give the career mode another crack this arvo after work, still annoyed that I got sacked after taking us to 9 and 13 for the 2013 season!

Bought this today and have played it for a few hours. Seems better than the last version but nowhere near FIFA standards.

They obviously didn't program all the names into the commentary because they referred to Toumpas and Terlich as "No. 5" and "No. 46" respectively yet they knew Clisby's name. Go figure.

Cost saving I suppose! The career mode isn't anywhere near as good as I was hoping.

It will never be a game like FIFA because lots of money is put into EA games because they had a more wider fan base than Aussie Rules which mostly has a fan base of Victorians, South Australians etc.

I played NAB cup on easy and beat Carlton by 198 points so i changed it too normal for the first few matches and then went hard for the rest, didn't lose a game kicked 90 odd goals with my player and kicked 80 odd with Clark and then just went easy in the grand final so i could smash Freo and ended up kicking 19 with my guy, won the Norm Smith, the brownlow and the Coleman, and then got 9 offers from other clubs.

This is why Melbourne need to recruit me, i'd win them a coleman, brownlow and a norm smith, hahaha ;)

I know this is an old thread but only just saw it.

I got the game as soon as it came out, and was very disappointed by it. Game play wasnt even close to afl live 1. Far too slow, and can't keep the play moving at a good pace, and if you choose the option to have your defenders stick to their man, you still find them 20-30m away in no mans land, same thing with the computer defenders, changing the option seems to have no impact. They should've sticked with the melbourne guys at big ant (made afl live 1) and just updated the graphics and put in the career mode and we would've finally had a decent afl game to enjoy, instead of turning to a company (wicked witch) that is mostly focused on rugby games.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
