AFL Evolution
It’s rough around the edges but with tweaking of settings you can get the feel of watching or playing in a real AFL game. It has some frustrating features but in all fairness, as my hours played shows, I have gotten my moneys worth of enjoyment from this game.
Coach Career mode is what I have played and enjoyed the most.
Even there. some things need tweaking by the Devs. Clubs patience with a new coach should be softened, no real life bottom ladder club signs a new coach and expects them to play in a Grand Final or even finals in their first year. Also, AI clubs should, I feel, be much more agressive and less accomodating come player draft/trade time.

So my first few hours of experience goes as follows:
“I started a couple of practice matches to get the hang of the game.
First practice match was AFL Women’s team Melbourne Demons VS the Under 18s team NT Thunder, in which the women won comfortably over the kids.
After only two matches I felt I was getting the hang of the controls, so I started a career mode. I created my character, a 28 year old 5'7” Right Half Forward playing with Gippsland Power in the Under 18s TAC cup.
A few games in, and everything was feeling too easy, the controls were getting pretty intuitive. Bump up to medium difficulty, and that seems to be decent, yet still easy enough to learn for now.
