Initial AFL game impressions..

[chicago23]

For the people that have that game...

On another thread, we're trying to figure out if you can use an unlocked historic team in Season mode (the interviews on OS made it seem that you would be able to replace an existing team with a historic team, and then play that team through the 20 seasons in Season mode). The consensus there seems to think you CAN NOT do this.

At the very least, I was hoping that you would be able to use the logos, helmets, and colors of an unlocked team in the Create-a-Team section, and then incorporate that team into the Season mode (i.e. create your own Iowa Barnstormers, stock the roster via a fantasy draft, then use them in the Season mode).

Any answers you have to these questions are appreciated.

It's $30 well spent.

LOL! Crapola? Get some friends over and play then call them "crapola". Anyway, you are right about Arena football being worth 30 bucks. I played it at my friends house and I liked it alot. Alittle bare but still alot of fun.

I just can't seem to get into it. I'll give it a little while though. If it doesn't work out I'll just trade it in on put it on Ebay. Think my problem is I didn;t know what I was getting into. I've never really watched Arena Football so it was totally new to me.

One thing I recommend doing is switching to the classic camera. The AFL camera makes the game way too fast...switching to the higher camera overhead makes it a lot more feasible. At least to me it did.
