Australian Football Coach 2020

The game is a buggy mess. Stats don't record properly and then after a couple of seasons it will hit a point where it will crash and won't advance further. Wasted hours of my time on a save that can progress no further and simply can't be bothered starting a new one. Only AFL game of its type on the market but simply not worth your time.

It has been roughly 1 year since I have played this game and it has improved a lot. I can tell that this game is on the verge of taking the step to become the best AFL game on the market. These are the changes I would make to get this game to compete with the other manager games. Make it a full screen game. Be able to delete saves. Every time you load back in for the game to keep the previous stats from when you played last. More realistic player stats and overalls. Have the proper names for players in the state leagues. Have all the teams histories to go back to at least when the AFL was made into the AFL. Have coach overalls and for the coaches to have an impact on how the team operates successfully in tactics. Be able to edit player potential overall. I feel like all of this can be done in the next 6 months with updates.

It's always nice to see rather niche sports getting games made, but I can't say I recommend this one. For starters, the resolution options are bugged. It won't actually apply the resolution I want. Second, there's no tutorial whatsoever. I wasn't quite sure what I was doing or where I was going. You're just sorta plopped into the "world," so to speak, and left to your own devices. If somebody new to Aussie Rules or to one of these text-based simulators (or both, even!) were to pick this game up, I can't imagine they'd bother playing for too long before throwing their hands up and saying "eh, no thanks." Third, it feels rather buggy and janky. Like it needed some more time in the oven. Niche sports aren't gonna get the polish of an OOTP or FM game, I get that, but this one definitely needed a hell of a lot more, to say the least. Even though I got this on a pretty sizeable discount, I quickly learned why it sat on the backburner for as long as it did. And it's not like this game will get any real updates because the newest versions always get the focus, so I wouldn't bother with this one at all. However, I did notice that this game was given as a freebie to those who bought the orig…

Way to buggy
