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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
