The Australian Football Coach 2024 update is finally here!
You'll get an updated 2024 data set, which will expand to 19 teams by default in 2027, and the women's league has been added back to the data set by default, albeit with only fictional players at the moment.
Player ratings
One of the most requested additions, players now receive a rating for every single in-match action they take (or, in some instances, don't take!) This helps you better determine whether your midfielder with a high disposal count is actually having a good game, or which one of your defenders is actually locking down the opposition.
Score worm
The score worm has finally migrated back from the original Australian Football Coach and now complements the score tab on the match screen.
Selection analytics
The new analytics tab on the selection screen helps you figure out your current selection's average attributes in order to help you make better tactical decisions.
Customisable stadiums
If you have stadium graphics, you can now manually define them in the data file to provide additional customisation to your game. This still isn't incredibly user-friendly, but should be accessible to those users who like mods.
Historical team stats
You can now view career stats by team on the Player Statistics tab.
Gameplay updates
Some minor tweaks to the match engine have been made, including making 50-metre penalties dependent on player attributes such as leadership, and including "winger" as a secondary position for midfielders.
There have been several other minor bug fixes and additional tweaks as well to make the game even easier to play! Please post if you find any problems with the new version and there's still more in the works, including a much requested overhaul to the trade system.
Finally the biggest request at the moment is to release the game for Macs - can't comment on this yet, but those requests have definitely been heard!
Hope you enjoy the AFC2024 update.
