Audio is broken, incorrect names and often calls do not match up with play.

I was playing Richmond and was in front for most of the game and they then kicked two quick goals in the last to be within a goal and the commentators said Richmond are completely out of this.

This game could not have been thoroughly tested prior to release and if so the developers could not be happy with the results. This is a beta version at best.

I wasn't going to buy this because I figured it'd be a disaster.

But now I see it's a complete catastrophe, I must buy it to see for myself.

Unless I can find a twitch stream and enjoy the comedy gold for free.

It's fun to play because it's AFL and who does love running Maxy inside fifty to kick a goal. Watts has great hands.

I feel like it'll be in the EB bargain bin pretty quickly, so I might hold off on experiencing such splendour for now.

But damned if the commentary mistakes don't make it tempting.

Maybe you and someone else from Demonland could live stream a multi-player match on twitch! I'd watch that!

They get Dusty's neck tatts down to a T but they can't get Wattsy hair colour right.

To be fair neither can Wattsy.

I'd be up for that. I'd like to hone my skills before I completely embarrass myself though.

I feel like the entertainment value is better if you don't.

I'm selfish that way.

Hopefully another of the players is willing as well. Would be fun to watch :D

Maybe I'm just colourblind but Watts seems to be more ginge than Clarry

It's actually more playable if you switch off the commentary.

Perhaps the game designers have read Demonland. I'm sure there are many posts which say that watching football on Channel 7 and/or Foxtel is better without the commentary.

ah, going for hyper-realism then?

I like it.

Hogan's likeness is spot on.

There's a new one called "Kicking Behinds" on the App Store, give it a look it's good fun.

I just downloaded this last night, it's bloody hard but really good fun.

The reports about AFL Evolution are mixed to say the least, I might hold on to my money for a while longer I think.

Got the game. All the names of our players are mixed up. Hogan is called Hibberd by commentary. Garlett is Garland. TMac is number 28. Watts is called Watt. Richo's commentary sounds even more robotic than usual. 

So it is just like listening to BT!

T.Mac looks pretty good too I reckon

Agreed. As does Garlett.

They got Maxy's facial hair wrong. Waiting for the update sans beard.

How the [censored] do you take speccies? I can't do it.

Here's a decent review of the game.

I love this comment.

Speaking of frustration, don't be scared to move up the difficulties quickly. It will be tempting to stay on easy for a little bit to get your skills up, but the game really speeds up as you move up in the world and it makes for a more challenging experience. You'll be mashing the buttons to handball out of space like you're Clayton Oliver in no time.

As soon as the ball is in the air hold down Triangle (L2 / R2 +triangle for spoil / speccy) and release when the circle shrinks to become a solid colour.. same for rucking. Alternatively, if you can control the receiving player quickly enough (L1) use the right analog stick to bump the opposition and your player should mark by default (without pushing triangle.). I switched between the two ways but it's pretty frustrating. 

L1 to switch players without the ball rarely works. When kicking from a free kick L1 is also meant to cycle between receivers - nope.

AI players seem to be able to run over the mark / encroach the zone but whenever a controlled player is even remotely in the zone it's a 50m.

Audio is broken, incorrect names, calls do not match up with play and the 'audio engineer' must have mixed the sound with a $2 pair of earphones  - there is a quick fix though - muting the commentary in audio settings .

To change receivers you have to hold L1 and select a player with the right stick. Rucking is done by the right stick only.

Marking from kickouts is my biggest problem.

BTW I played Hawthorn in the wet and won 9.2.56 to 0.13.13.
