Well the game is finally here, came out on sale today! Let's talk about it in this thread. What do you like/dislike? Talk through career modes and online play and whatever else you wanna discuss about the game :D
I'll have a little look around tonight, see what it's like.
Waiting a few weeks on it, drop in price and find out whether it's good or complete shower like AFL Live 1 and 2

Pretty much this, but I also don't have the console for it. I'll probably play it with a mate who gets/has it and then work out if I really want it or not.
Its is decent, its an afl game which is not unplayable which is good!
Marking system is crap / hard to master
Bit buggy when i was playing be a pro as a rookie
played a few normal games hten started a career as be a pro
one little thing i noticed was i decided to be a FF for Essendon
so it automatically put Joe Daniher in the reserves and i cannot swap him in even though mitch brown is CHF
so seems sioly so if you went say RR for cats then it could kick danger or selly out seems silly

Seems to be one of the biggest complaints I've seen about the game. Should really have made sub-AFL levels - WAFL, VFL, SANFL, NEAFL (and their reserve sides) - and have you play for one of those until your skills/form warrant AFL selection, rather than jumping straight to starting in the AFL team. Don't even have to program the sub-AFL levels with real players and/or teams to avoid licensing and all that crap, just make up teams and competitions to play sub-AFL - e.g. if you are drafted by Freo you could play for the Mandurah Lightning or whatever. Like really how much time/effort/money would doing that have used as opposed to having the stupidest thing in the world and having you instantly start at your position no matter what.
MLB the Show does this really great - starts you off in Double-A competition (third level) after being drafted, then as your skills and form improve you get promoted to Triple-A (second level), then eventually to the MLB.

technically if you want you can start in TAC or VFL
1 other thing that is shower i just pressed back for year DOB
to go to youngest (so have a long career) didn't take much notice but looking at my player profile it says DOB year 2016
it says i'm 1 year old
Seeing as Don Bradman Cricket starts at club level with made up teams surely they could've done a state league comp for this. As it's the same people making it (I think?)
Seeing as NHL, NBA and Fifa havent got the greatest Be a Pro systems, you cant really expect the AFL too.
For those that have played it, is it worth getting?

no Don Bradman is made by Big Ant Studios who made AFL live 1
Afl Evolution is made by Wicked Witch the company who made AFL live 2

So theoretically that would make the game play more like AFL Live 2

yup more like it but different as they rebuilt the game engine
I hated AFL Live 2 so I'll probably pass

Me too :/ although I'll definitely buy it when I see it in-store for under say $40, hopefully they patch all the shower stuff up
smashed a season in be a pro mode (2.5 minute qtrs just wanted to finish a year to access it all)
another disappointing note is there is no brownlow medal count or all australian team
after the Grandfinal at the eOS it says who won the brownlow, the coleman, the best & fairest & the norm smith
but no actual counts or anything no idea who came 2nd in any of it and no all australian team at all that i saw of
even during the year the only way to know who is leading the coleman medal is to go through each team and sort by leading goal kicker
there is not actually like league leader stats section
also in the be a pro if you have it on beginner or easy it was too easy on medium could do well but also bad which ias probably the right thing to begin with
but just like fifa one find it boring at times when ball down the other end
and sometimes with the view they use for it (view like fifa)
it make sit hard to time the marks as you see the circle etc late and then your timing is off
so makes it hard to perform but not through it actually being too hard just from that
note: how i list all these things does not make it a bad game it is slightly frustrating things i mean over all it plays alright better then afl live 2 imo
another cool feature is how they have the fan hub
so people create players upload them and you can download them
or teams like the hall of fame team etc
so you can slot legends into the teams to play with which i think is bloody awesome
played with mates last night, 3 of us on a team. I like how the AI actually hits up targets and doesn't just bomb it long
the 50s were ridiculous. there were like 10 occasions where the computer team would take a mark in the their defensive 50 and for no reason at all they'd get 2 sometimes 3 50s and it'd take em to their goal square. but most the time they'd still miss anyway, especially Buddy
but yeah I thought it was pretty good
still not sure to buy it or not, if its just playing games i cant see me playing it enough to be worth it.
I love the ultimate team from Madden and other games where you collect cards the make a team. Its super rewarding building up a team of bronze players into a team of stars.
I dont think they have that.
