    There’s more work to do with AFL 23, and I’m expecting regular patching for a few weeks yet. However, I can’t sit on my review forever, so what I’ll say is this: The game has already evolved from a disastrous launch to become the finest AFL game ever. That’s a ridiculously low bar to cross, I know, but once Big Ant have brought in the final features and refined the mechanics to fully realise their vision, this will be a truly impressive representation of one of the most iconic parts of Australian culture.

There is no player career mode (a feature of all previous AFL games and most sports games) and no possibility to play online with friends.
    The game modes promised at launch; Ultimate Team and Management Career mode are still non-existent a month after launch.
    The graphics are poor, the animations are glitchy and the core gameplay is simply not there.
    I can not recommend this game to anyone.    … Full Review »

    While AFL 23 is a fun sports game, it however has flaws that can hold the game back.
