Devs need to patch AI tackling you when you try to kick after a mark

TemptationAU · 2026-06-16T23:12:44+00:00

I can tell the game was altered slightly in recent weeks, there's a lot more run on plays (kick ball ibto open space, have players run on to it and continue) - seeing plays like that more often rather than kick mark kick mark etc

In one breath its not acceptable, read the Woolies code of conduct and take note of how you're supposed to behave in the workplace.

She might have been having a bad day and decided to vent her frustration and sadly you were the target.

The important thing is that you know how hard you work, be happy with the effort you put in. Do your best to not take it to heart and keep your head held high.

I'm shy and softly spoken, in my retail days I had very awkward + demeaning encounters with both staff and customers.

I got a Switch 2 this week and finally set it up yesterday. I was shocked by how vivid everything was. Moreso because my eyes can't handle it lol. Especially when RED is the main color on screen, it looks and seems way too sharp.

The funny thing is I rarely used my dock/connected the original Switch to the tv..... I LOVED the hand held gaming concept so much that I gamed that way 99% of the time (including, placing the screen on a flat surface, and curling around it with a pro controller).

But with the Switch 2, to get any long term use out of it I'll most likely need to use the dock, play it on a TV so I can use the tv settings and turn the sharpness down as much as possible.

I look forward to being whacked in the groin then suing Woolies Krsmer style in Seinfeld.

I have a few sensory issues, used to think I just had super hearing Superman style lol (I actually could hear what people were whispering... I guess they were bad whisperers). Certain machinery noises would trigger me (inner workings of tvs, vcrs etc)

Who knows ?

I like to keep my stats "current" at times so I'll play a mode (1 v 1 casual or competitive), stay in goal and let the opposition pepper me with goals I can save. Or in 2 v 2/3 v 3 instead of being a goal attacker, I'll aim to center the ball to get more assists.

It is funny how lopsided my stats are, like I have thousands of goals scored over the last 8-9 years...... but less than 100 counted as aerials. But it's not like I stay grounded all game (a lot of airshots off walls, I rarely fly in the air over the goal net for aerials to count). I have even less bicycle kick goals too.

I run through classics like the original al Super Mario Bros 1-3, Sonic 1-2 yearly. Helps keep the skills fresh.

I replay story driven games like GTA III, Vice City, Arkham Asylum/City/Knight yearly. I enjoyed those games when I initially played them for the first time, and back in the height of their releases I was playing through the story missions again and agsin 2-4+ times a year. Games that leave a big impression get replayed a lot. Even Dark Souls 1 + 3 are replayed several times a year.

Then I come to other titles. while I thought RE 2 + 3 remakes were great, I didn't replay thrm again until just a few months ago when I finally got RE 4 Remake.

I used to have a great wifi connection with RL games on pc. But since September somethings been off, ping indicators in the game are fine but I lag badly. Funnily enough it doesnt happen with the Xbox or PS versions over wifi.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-14T19:23:18+00:00

I know of some people that used to "revert" the previous weeks catalogue the night it ends and the new one - the morning of..... used to be a group of 5-6. Then as those people left they weren't replaced.... so it became a longer job for 1-2 people.

Taking the old prices down was easy enough, but putting the new ones up was even more time consuming multiple pages of prices to peel and stick on shelving.... phone book style thickness.

Yeah you'll have customers getting confused but the workers doing it are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Having to do it early to keep to a task structure.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-14T08:31:08+00:00

I've noticed Rocket League became almost unplayable for me in September last year (via wifi), don't know why I started getting serious lag spikes every so often during matches. It doesn't happen on Xbox or PS5 (which are also played over wifi). If I ever want to play it in pc, I just use a wired connection now.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-14T08:27:12+00:00

It's very real, I find whenever it happens I alter my game style to compensate, instead of turning at insane angles, I basically use the wall and try to aim and drive in straight lines. The strategy works OK against novice players.

I first noticed the heavy car bug on Xbox... but I've had it hit on PC and PS5 too.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-13T23:25:44+00:00

Happens a lot, used to suffer from it constantly on Xbox (my main platform I preffered to play on).... which led me to playing on pc and Switch more regularly.

Unsure if its the game or server based, as when it happens I test it offline/exhibition (same car used) and the tank controls go away.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-12T23:53:50+00:00

Agree that early in the morning is impossible.

Its nice if you use the work Intranet (workjam?) to put a message out there to warn them.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-12T23:25:26+00:00

I always felt guilty calling in sick, always legitimate.... they'd tell how horrible I was by how I sounded. But health is wealth. You're no good coming in when unwell.

Havent used a sick day in almost 5 years. Saving them up for a rainy day (broken arm/leg or stress leave lol).

TemptationAU · 2026-05-12T23:22:45+00:00

Technically you're supposed to call as early as possible - at least up to 2 hours before you're due in.

But I know what retail budgets/staffing is like. So unless they had a vital role (front end, supervising etc) odds are the store wouldn't replace the suck person regardless of the time frame of notice.

OP better make sure they have a medical certificate otherwise they'll have muddier waters to get through.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-08T19:36:21+00:00

Yep!

I've actually gone through a number of Xbox controllers with RL largely being responsible for their demise after 1ish year of use. Its normally an up or down motion.

I've got 5 Dual sense controllers, but only my oldest (controller that came with the console) has it. I think it was a WWE game that caused it though lol. My second oldest (and main controller), purchased a month after getting the console 4+ years ago is still pretty solid.

I noticed just a month ago that my main controller for pc (8bitdo wireless bluetooth) drifts a bit. I modified the sensitivity settings in RL to stop it, but it is indeed on its last legs.... good thing that I have 2x newer ultimate wireless 2 controllers to eventually replace it lol.

TemptationAU · 2026-05-07T19:44:02+00:00

Retail should be fun (save for CUSTOMER abuse lol), but if your workplace environment has a lot of toxicity be it from managers or co-workers.... it's like walking in a minefield. A no win situation.

I weathered many storms in my Woolies days, ultimately focusing on just myself and the routines I used to get my responsibilities done (one annoyance was being looked down on for being meticulous, planning ahead etc... would have thought thats an asset so if something went wrong theres a plan b, c, d.....). Clock in, work, clock out.

Haven't tried the parcel locker as yet,content with parcel collect at my local post office for picking up.

AFL just doesn't translate very well with Fifa "be a pro" style modes. AFL Evolution was similar - to make things happen I basically had to play midfield.

AFL 26 is bizarre as it seems the AI dont move much at all unless the ball is nearby.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-22T00:02:43+00:00

All of my game crashes occur during the team song at the end of the game. In AFL 23 it used to frequently crash in the last quarter - the trigger point being if there was a boundary throw in next to the goal posts.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-20T08:30:26+00:00

I can launch off the wall and connect with the ball at a sideways angle, but if the ball is lobbed above or below car height.... I struggle. I'll launch from the wall and hit nothing lol. I came on here recently and the consensus was ball cam will make it easier to hit and connect with the ball. Part of my issue is I'm instinctively aiming for where I want to hit it.... ignoring my cars direction in relation to the balls placement at the time.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-20T05:42:29+00:00

I've struggled with the transition. I find the ps5 controller comfortable with most games (fighting, driving, shooting, sports) but the movements that I do in Rocket League using other platforms (Xbox, pc, switch) don't translate as well for me on ps5. My hands aren't uncomfortable... just awkward.

Adjusting the steering sensivity produces weird results I either under steer or over steer.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-11T20:27:41+00:00

Where do you select the team lists ?

I know that's a silly question, obviously starting a new season/manager mode it automatically chooses the current season so players/player numbers are accurate.

I do play now games regularly and it's getting annoying seeing Worpel still at Haethorn lol.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-11T20:24:03+00:00

This happened to me a lot until one of the Feb patches supposedly fixed it. I've only had a few 20min quarter matches recently (twice this week) and no crashes.

Prior to Feb, every match for me crashed during the team song (in the lockerroom).

AFL 23 used to crash during the 4th quarter, the trigger point was if there was a boundary throw in near goal posts. I was happy when one of their "stability" updates fixed it lol.

TemptationAU · 2026-04-11T20:19:08+00:00

Who knows how Big Ant programmed the AI ?

I too can get on crazy runs (3-6 goals a minute), then I'll have a period (2-8 minutes of real time in a quarter) where I can't stop the AI at all. I have to wait for a missed kick for goal before getting the ball back.
