PS2 - Afl 06'

[Magicman]

Anyone got this? i grabbed it yesterday on my wat to the Dome. Not bad game play in this one. After a few pracy games of getting used to the controllers i soon thougt it was time for my career mode to take off!

And guess what, beat the Saints by a point in the NAB cup first rnd! Dale Thomas with the winning pt, after scores were tied on 97 each.

Not bad for $64. Anyone played it yet?

Is it much different to the previous releases??
Because that has been the downer for AFL Live for the past few years they have been all too similar and the game's longitivity only lasts a few weeks to a month.

I bought it and I like it.. alot better than the last

Pros
* Better camera angles
* Advantage plays brought into the game
* Graphics/gameplay alot better

Cons
* In The preseason comp i had bradshaw kick a 101 point goal (1 kick) and the qtr didnt end at all..
* Can be hard
* When kicking for goal you need to kick within an indicator and you can be caught holding the ball trying to get it right

6.5/10

yeh i agree with ya WC. I just got smashed by the Eagles in the 2nd rnd of the cup.

Im struggling to work out the centre bounces. Judd had 41 touches, Cox kept tapping it to him. I couldnt stop him or win the tap out.

Any help?

If you can work that out, I know 15 AFL teams that would like to hear from you!!!

So I take it the game is nice and realistic hey!

my question is, is it any better than the old ones... cos I had a PS2 version (it got stolen) and wondering if I should actually bother... cos graphics were shithouse in all other versions i seen.... and easy was too easy and hard was too hard.....

This game would be good if it had a dynasty mode, where you could trade players and do behind the scenes stuff.... its just got no interest otherwise....

Wolves you can trade players t seasons end and there is a cao limit which is awesome. Career mode (which im playing) .

Graphics arent the best but the gameplay is way better IMO.

Oh very funny Jase, very funny lol.

cao limit?

But thats good news that players can finally be traded! Bit more realistic. Career Mode also good... though I bet it will take work for them to make career mode more interesting (player retirements, recruiting youngsters, etc).

Haven't got the new one. Have had a few of the older ones and last years premiership ed was pretty good but imo the whole game always revolves around tackling too much.

Cap Limit AJ.

they have a Development feature which i think is new too where u can gain pts from games to develop your players and stuff.

I wish it was like that in the REAL game

 

[white_chocolate_55]

which part do u think isnt realistic? judd or cox?

Well even when Cox was not injured he was not tapping them to Judd......this year he just tapped them and more often that not we have been losing the center breaks Judd hasn't been racking up too many possesions lately so I guess I wish BOTH were true !

well i finally started my offical season tonight and opened with a cracker. Led by Licka (27 touches) and Bucks (22 touches and 3 goals) the mighty Pies opened there season with a 7 point come from behind win against the Crows.

Trailing by 31 points at the last change the Pies cam home hard, Didak kicking 2 important ones and Fraser sealing the win in the dieing seconds. Was highly entertaining and realistic scores.

Pies 18.8.116 def Crows 15.19.109

Tazza, Bucks and Rocca with 3 apiece. Whilst for the Crows Hentchel kicked 1.6 :s .

Mcleod and Roo killed me each grabbing around 25 touches, Roo also kicked 3 goals.

Im gonna try and get you guys to buy this cos it rocks.
