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 😂😂

In NBA term it's like Giannis and Tobias Harris being on the same rating

Ok another AFL game, can we expect wingers to not be out on the boundaries at least?

Really? Halo has Petracca as the main character.

The player ratings are warped, but the graphics are amazing!

 

yeah, definitely better than the real thing 😂

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
