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.

It looks horrendous but I'm sure I'll still play 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.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I'll wait for the reviews on this one.  If it's at least decent then I'll get it.  If it's a train wreck then I'll steer well clear.

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

I think you were proven wrong in 1991.

Those were the days, Aussie Rules Footy on NES, Wagon Wheels and Cheezels.

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
