Don't know how many here in Demonland arev gamers but, today it was the official launch of the new AFL 23 game.

Petracca is in the cover of this game... However, he has been rated as a middle of the pack player 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Similar to Clayton Oliver who is at around the 20th best player (with Bontompelli and Cripps at the top).

Max Gawn ,on the other hand, is nowhere to be seen in the top 40 players.

Apparently the game developers used Champion Data to calculate the player ratings. What a load of [censored] data!

    Some absolutely laughable ratings here . Champion data involved so say no more

    I mean Fritsch 50+ goals the past 2 years being rated the same as fringe senior bulldog Mitch Hannan. Being one glaring example.

    Washed up nic nat same 86 rating as gawn and higher than the bloke on the cover Trac who find s himself an 85 with Aaron Hall , Jayden laverde and Chad Wingard

    The game developers used a basketball game as their starting point, so it's natural they would favour players who throw the ball.

    Imagine having a Giannis or Devin Booker rated middle of the pack in NBA 2K , that's the level of ridiculousness here 😂😂

    I have no idea about this "game", but I am very happy for the proverbial "they" to continue to underestimate us.  Karma will be all the sweeter.

    The AFL games are duds unfortunately. They're too small-fry for a big developer to invest in, so we've been stuck with smaller developers giving it a crack and they just don't have the capacity to capture our unique sport in a fun and accurate game. 

    Petracca being the star on the cover, only to have a rating of 85 alongside Aaron Hall, Harry Cunningham and many other battlers is an absolute laugh. Just shows the depth of knowledge the devs have about the sport.

    This and NES International Cricket are all the stimulation a developing brain needs.

    And no Love Shack!

    It's called virtual reality for a reason.

    I can't think of one thing digital that has AFL finger prints on it that doesn't completely suck.

    They did say these are preliminary ratings which are expected to change. 

    We all know the game will likely be bad and yet will still buy it because its a footy game and Trac is on the cover.

    The biggest problem imo is that the worst teams are still rated too highly. The lowest ranked team should be nowhere near 83. If we compare to FIFA, the lowest premier league teams are rated in the low 70s. All it means is that in your season mode teams like Hawthorn are going to have too many wins and make it feel even less realistic than its going to be anyway.

    I feel like it's groundhog day. Doesn't this happen every year?! Champion data release their rankings and everyone freaks out and gets all outraged. No wonder they keep doing it, it generates so much outrage and therefor so many clicks. They have been slow getting them out this year so Fox is jump starting the outrage cycle by using the ratings in this game for the same effect. God this is tiresome

    Exactly.  Once it goes live or the first patch or two comes out, the rankings could look very different.  No need to take the pitchfork out of the shed just yet.

    Where's Pendles in the top 5? I'm sure I heard someone say he had a basketball background. Can't recall who though.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
