If you would like to meet Jack Viney and Clayton Oliver and get to play AFL Evolution before it is released on Friday then head to JB Hi Fi in Fountain Gate Shopping Centre Thursday night between 7pm and 9PM.

With the history of AFL games, this could well be rubbish.... but I'm happy to be proved wrong though...

 

On a related note, I've recently played FIFA 17 and I love the addition of the Journey story mode where you play as a young kid who has to work his way into the starting 11 of an EPL team. I reckon it's been done really well. I guess thats what you get from a company with so much experience like EA...

Id like to play it cos its an AFL game, but they have all been so terrible in the past.

It just seems like a sport thats impossible to capture well in video game format.

The apprentice at work was just telling me today that his girlfriend's dad owns the company that's developing the game.

I'm only a 20 minute drive from Fountain Gate so I might go check it out.

I'm not excited because they all suck. But I'll definitely waste my money on it.

Id be shocked if the gameplay didnt suck, but the game can be salvaged if they have a good simulation/career mode thing.

Kind of like those soccer manager games that do big business.

At least we can play this one online. So even if it's [censored], it'll be fun beating mates at a [censored] game.

AFL99 on PS1 is still the best footy game to date.

Aussie Rule Footy on NES was my favourite. And Duck Hunt.

I think you were proven wrong in 1991.

The game will never be any good because no company will pour money into something so niché to make it any good. It wouldn't sell a copy outside Aus.

Having said that, I do have fond memories of AFL 99 on PS1 where it was basically a matter of who could avoid holding the ball the most for the entirety of the match. No matter where or when you picked up the ball, you'd always be kamikaze-tackled by a player.

And if you were Adelaide just give the ball to Darren Jarman and he'd slot them from anywhere 50 out on the run

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
