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.

    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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
