AFL 23

Encouragingly positive review. After AFL Evolution 2 was discontinued, this is probably the only AFL game series still under development. Australian players shouldn't be too picky; Australian Rules Football is a niche sport globally, so being able to play it is already a good thing. However, to be honest, Big Ant Studios doesn't seem to care about this series as much as they do other games like the cricket series. Lack of tutorials, stiff character models, sluggish controls, and poor AI—even the newly released AFL 26 seems to retain these issues. Since it's still under continuous development, they must be making money. Hopefully, the developers won't ruin their reputation and will seriously optimize and improve the quality of the series.

This is game is Post 2000's Carlton

Better than other AFL games, but still has fundamental issues with handballing in traffic, tackling, and targetting. Marking is still pretty awkward. Its playable, but the full price $100 AUD is shameful.

Auto player switching is terrible, AI on your team wonders off to wherever they like sometimes, and apparently the umpires will die if they call holding the ball against the CPU. Lots of issues with this game that makes it frustrating and out of your control sometimes.

Its either the hardest or easiest sports game I've ever played. Still can be fun though

this game is like afl 26 but worse
