That challenge is evident in AFL 23’s gameplay, with numerous issues hampering the on-field experience. The fundamentals of Aussie Rules have always been hard to translate to a video game, especially given the limited budget in comparison to sports games such as FIFA. Unfortunately, the game’s launch has resembled the green shoots era of Brendan Bolton’s Blues – flashes of brilliance and brimming with potential, but undone by a severe lack of execution. However, like Chris Judd’s arrival at Carlton in 2008, Big Ant Studios’ return to the developer’s hot seat for the first time since 2011 was seen by some as the saviour of the sport’s digital future. Wicked Witch’s efforts with AFL Evolution were admirable, but modern AFL games have always had a certain stigma associated with them. Every AFL game release is like the beginning of a new season, bringing renewed hope that it will be better than the last. AFL is a complex and ever-evolving sport, but the passion of its loyal fans is undeniable, and whenever there’s a new AFL game on the horizon, there’s a finals-like atmosphere surrounding the release.
