Update did not fix this. 

What platform are you on?

PS4. I was only playing exhibition before the game had fully downloaded. I'll check back in a proper season and see if there's comedy capers. 

Too much one on one as others have said, and the players don't get any separation, so you have it just kick to contests all the time.

Anyone notice that Gawn is called "Garlett" by the commentators?

Also, you can't lead to space. Playing the "Be A Pro" mode, if you lead into space from your opponent, your teammate kicks to the point where you pressed the call button, not ahead of you. That means you often have the ball kicked over your head ... just like a real Melbourne game!

It's a shame they're still using a game engine from 2004.

Yeah. Playing career mode and am a full forward. When calling for the ball and leading into space the kicker kicks to where you called for it. Very stupid. It's all one on one contests. 

Not one of the Melbourne players is named correctly. 

Can you log online and play 2v2 with a mate against two random players?

I haven't tried online play yet. 

Online is quite frustrating if you get a few goals up people just have a sook and quit the game and you dont even get a win for it.

I tried the be a pro mode i never have the ball passed to me even when i call for it.

Unfortunately being a small studio they just wouldnt have the funds to make an nba or fifa like quality game the market would be very limited to mostly victoria and wouldnt get any overseas attention.

Overall im happy with it but the original they did for ps3 is my favorite

You should get a win for being on the end of a rage quit. Conversely they should get a double loss or some other punishment.

Just started a season and the names are indeed all wrong. 

There's a post on their Facebook page saying to install the update and if it's still [censored] delete your saved game as it may have saved the bugs (???). Well I had no saved game so I doubt it's fixed at all  

 

A game like this, with a small time developer, was always going to end in tears.  Games like FIFA and NBA 2K set the bar high and it will always be out of reach for a game like this.

I wish they would fund a game that was similar to Football Manager instead.  A robust management mode including drafts, trades, gameplan etc would be sensational.  I know we've had them before but they've always been rather basic.

It looks like I'll give this one a miss for the time being, though.  The plethora of bugs and obvious mistakes would annoy me too much.

Don't notice it when you turn the commentators off, even if the names were right I would still have turned them off.

I can only play be a pro as a full forward, trying to be a mid is ridiculous with the terrible camera angles.

Is anyone still playing? 

Once I figured out how to mark and spoil it was enjoyable enough. On medium, I can now have a decent contest and put together some rewarding bits of play.

The one on one, kick/mark/kick/mark nature of it probably means people will "get over it" reasonably quickly. 

 

The coach option with the in-game objectives can liven it up a bit, think the trading aspect is overly limited for that aspect of the game though. 

Is anyone still playing ive been puttin a bit of time into online multiplayer and currently sit 73rd overall.

Since the first update it has improved a bit the next patch will be out in the next week or so

I play a little bit, I don't mind career mode.
