CORRECTION: Technically the term "free kick" is reserved for penalties when an illegal action is made by an opponent. When you take a mark, you take what I guess is an 'unimpeded kick' where the play pauses for a moment to let you kick - and when you get a "free kick", you also get to take an unimpeded kick. Been watching this sport forever and I still can't explain it properly! pls forgiv
The platformer segment did not fit at all and should not have been included, especially if you aren't including the managers. I skipped past it. Loved the rest of the vid tho!
I don’t know what an AFL is, I am not Australian, and I don’t care for sports but I can’t wait to watch this just to hear someone happily talk about what they enjoy
Nice work! On the Big Ant dev timeline, we did go over budget, however that was at Big Ant's cost - we're intensely mad AFL fans so we wanted to make sure the gameplay was as good as we thought it could be. Once the game was good at its core, it was our intention to bring more depth in later versions, as we did with RLL/Cricket/AO etc but obviously didn't get the chance. With the Tru Blu "Game of the Year Edition", it came about because MS/PS have a disk duplication discount for a "GOTY" edition, they just didn't think anyone would be cheeky enough to call a game that to get the discount.
As an aussie game dev, this was an absolutely great, thoroughly informative video! It must have taken countless hours compiling all the footage - this is great documentation about Australia's videogame industry. Thanks for making it!
Love that Gaelic and International rules get a shoutout, I remember hearing of the AFL games when I was a kid simply because someone told me GAA games were a reskin of them
@@VortexStory for like 20 seconds at 25:22 Gaelic football is somwhat similar to aussie rules, and then theres hurling which is the other irish sport these guys made a game for, but thats quiet different
I now really want a worldwide event where pros who play anything called football have to play one of the other footballs in some sort of tournament. That'd just be amazingly goofy and awkward to watch.
A Well-Mannered White Family absolutely not. End zones are bigger the nfl wide receivers will have a huge amount of space to score not to mention wider fields which benefits the nfl. Fewer downs don’t mean much when most of the time in the nfl you kick it off after the third down. Easier field goals in Canadian football. A extra player since Canadian football uses 12 instead of 11 meaning you can have even more talent from the nfl on the field. Since you can have more then one player move before a snap in the cfl it means wr can have a running start. No way in hell the cfl can beat the nfl. Did you even think before saying that.
This was an incredible video, a great breakdown of each game and its importance to Australian game development. So many people complain about the graphics but we need to remember that these games are made on a fraction of the budget of your FIFAs and your NBA 2Ks. The move to Unreal Engine for AFL Evolution 2 could be the start of a good patch for the series, and Wicked Witch has proved that it is willing to make their games better even after launch. Commentary production has long been a weakness in AFL games, but having the likes Cometti and Hudson on board lends a thread of authenticity to the games. Who could forget such gems like "uncorking the genie", or selecting the Swans so you could hear "Goodes... produces the goods".
I know it's has an incredibly limited audience, but there is such an untapped audience. It would be neat to have an "AFL Legends" game where you can play old players in their prime, like Dipper or Nathan Buckley, or something smaller, including the VFL leagues.
I think that something like that with an option for more arcadie/light controls might be an excellent way of introducing more people to the sport, its rules and its history
Cash grab idea put in "ultimate team" mode like they have on fifa. Has different versions of legends during their career with different stats. Would be cool to see.
When I was in grade 7 we had an exchange teacher from Australia. She shared with us this crazy sport and how much she loved it. As a Canadian “American-football” player I was so pissed there was never enough people interested to play it in a field gd it was so fun every time I played it
The Gods have blessed us this day with an extra long Minimme video. Finally, something good has come out of 2020. That is, until the meteor takes us out in a few months.
@@oswaldfigglebottom More than 4. Canada, the US, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and a few more. Also, most football codes involve using your hands. Soccer/"association" football is the exception, not the norm in that regard.
Football has nothing to do with kicking the ball, it's an umbrella term for sports involving balls (which includes ovoid shaped balls) played ON FOOT by teams where the goal (no pun intended) is to move the ball to the other end and getting it past the line somehow (either by touching the line, hitting the back of a net or going over a set of goals).
An AFL review with little to no references to rugby? He's done it boys, he's made AFL available to an international audience, much love from a Kiwiland fan
Wicked Witch developer here, great video mate. I’m also excited about the future of these games and feel honoured to be a part of it. Videos like these keep the passion alive :) I’ll see what I can do about that clearance kick slider too ;)
As an American football fan, this shit seems off the chains. Can't believe I've never heard of this before. Definitely gonna look into it. Thanks for this enormous upload mini. Gives us something to do in these boring ass times.
I read up on the rules and have watched 2 complete games so far. It's fairly easy to follow as far as rules go, or at least it seems that way. I think I'm a fan! Seems really exciting with little downtime. Looking forward to understanding the intricacies!
Aussie Rules = 500 + kill the man + (rugby - knock ons) In the 80s espn would have games on almost everyday. I like American football but Aussie rules did explain to me as a kid that it's kind of weird that Americans allow the slower players back into the play by default. The game is actually designed around helping overweight players participate by slowing the game down so they don't get too tired to play. Yes there are some freaks that would do just fine but your average 320 lb lineman would be puking 5 mins into a Aussie rules game. Continuous sports will always be more entertaining than stop n go sports in my opinion.
ive never heard of afl until this, and hearing you talk about the rules and what happens in the game sounds extremely australlian. From the names, to the lack of safety fences, to the physical nature of the game, to the fights, etc etc. Ngl, this sport looks like one of those sci-fi future sports you will see in dystopian sci fi/post apocalyptic settings.
I refuse to watch this video unless it features AFL Legend of the Game Anthony "Kouta" Koutoufidis offering a gorilla an opened, yet uneaten, souvlaki.
So... I just watched 50 minutes about a sport game (and I'm not a sports fan) that I didn't knew it existed (or just forgotten about, because, I'm not an Aussie) and I still enjoyed it. Very strange to learn about a new sport by watching it's evolution in video games representations.
As a British guy that has no interest in IRL sports and with the last sport games I played being on the megadrive in the early 90s I have to say you made this so interesting to watch. Your knowledge and passion is infectious.
This video actually got me into footy and I am a Swans fan so thanks for getting this canadien into footy I also like how TSN still broadcast the games here
the afl game i had as a kid was AFL Premiership 2005 - the amount of times i won the flag as freo when i was 7 is 10x more than we'll ever get in real life. loved this video, incredible content!!
Until your intro I had no idea that "footy" isn't just another nickname for football/soccer. Holy shit though I might have a new favorite sport, this looks fun as hell
Iceland has handball. In handball if you dribble the wrong, or a teammates attacks wrong. You lose the ball. You problably can't make a good handball game. Also to a 340.000k nation. 2m is a lot to me.
This is so awesome! I didn't know you're an Aussie! :D I'm from Germany and somehow stumbled across Aussie Rules a couple years ago when my mates got me to read up a bit on American Football, after I watched some videos on TH-cam I was immediately hooked. I even got up way too early a couple times to watch one or two games of the Swans! :D I've to see if I can find AFL Evo 2 for XBox somewhere not to expensive, it looks incredible fun honestly, even though I've little to know idea what's happening. Keep up the amazing work! I really adore your videos every time they come out! Greetings from the other side of the world! :)
Absolutely incredible video. I've been getting into highlight videos of AFL mostly to try and understand it and this is an amazing history of a sports series I've never seen a single game of. Top notch!
Please cover the management games! Watching this made me go watch an actual game and learn the rules a little; I'm definitely gonna go check out a couple of these games. v cool, good job
Good video! My dad was an umpire for the VFL/AFL and is a life member of the AFLUA and I make video games. So while he thinks all video games are a waste of time, and I am not the biggest footy fan who walked the Earth, this could be a good to watch with him to share both of our interests. When the world situation allows me to go back to Australia, that is....
As an american, I know the rules of american football, I know the rules of "football"/soccer, and I know the rules of basketball. I had no clue wtf was happening in the first clips. I had no idea this game existed and it looks completely insane, like someone tried to mash all the other sports into one. I love it.
3:50 holy hell, that sounds great. Most other voice sample sound like absolute crap on NES. And honestly, the game looks great as well... ashamed they didn’t release it in the states. I have a feeling it would have caught on.
As part of that 4%, I sure appreciate this deep dive into something so specific. I remember having fun with one or two of these games the couple of times I played them as a kid, and I'd always wondered what happened with them. Neat to finally have someone shovel that information into me.
I'm really glad you made this video. It's very rare our great sport gets talked about online, let alone the games. I want this video to get the attention it deserves because you can tell how much heart you put in it. Hopefully this leads to more people discovering the sport and watching it! P.S. - Go the Roos!
This is bloody amazing. Brought back memories from going over to my cousin's place to play some AFL games on his PS2. I always loved tackling him during his free kicks, ha. Personal content you make like this is the stuff I love, keep it up.
I was literally waiting for you to mention that Gaelic games. Premiership 05 and it are basically carbon copies of each other (Go figure), down to the horrible commentary and everything "They are about to go in, for their cup of tea and their banana", gets me every time. Great vid
i don’t know anything about football or sports, but this whole video was great. hearing someone talk about something they’re interested in just makes the ride all that much more enjoyable. much love!!
I'm an Australian who isn't into sports, including AFL and cricket (crazy, I know). But I've always been intrigued by an AFL game I've seen here and there. Interesting to finally see them, and from a standpoint of a footy fan too. It was enjoyable to see Aussie oriented games, even if I have nearly no idea of the sport. Keep it up mate!
Yeah it seems to stem from the distaste of afl in Nsw/QLD as I think Rugby League is more popular. I lived in Victoria for a good portion of my life then moved to NSW where then the ‘Gayfl’ comments started
minimmee, I’ve been watching your stuff a lot lately. I don’t normally care for sports games, and I didn’t even know what the AFL was. But your content is always so chill, and well read, I enjoyed every moment of this. Don’t be afraid of making more content around games you care for. Thanks for the hour long lesson on this!
I do kinda like to have a game of each different kind of sport in my library, so I might have to pick up one of these. Thanks for covering all these games!
I am a Brazilian that first AFL beacuse a Brazilian guy started playing AFL few years ago (i cant even remember his name), but i followed more closer in last few years watching 2017 and 2018 Grand Finals live (i dont had the luck to watch 2019)
Duuuude I played the absolute hell out of AFL Live Premiership Edition (2004) as a kid. "Goodes... produces the goods" lives in my head rent-free. Amazing video, man
Footy looks like it's a really cool sport, I hope it gains lots of traction in the future. Congrats on this vid, many hours of work but the result is great and you're doing justice to some underappreciated work yet again you goddamn hero without a cape.
I'm from Sydney and I think it should be noted that not only is AFL limited to Australia, the majority of teams are from Victoria (the second most populous state). NRL is the most popular football code here in Sydney and is a slight variation to Rugby Union, but also has it's own video games! My favourite sport is traditional football or soccer and is also widely played. As you might expect australians love sports
Big US fan of both rugby and ur channel. I found out about AFL one day whil3 probably researching rugby on Wikipedia and i was instantly fascinated, glad u made a video such as this!! Ill check out aussie rules footy on NES if i can!
I did work experience for Big Ant Studio for Live 2011. One of the jobs they made we do was go through each player and figure out if they kicked with their left or right foot. Because not all that information was available I would just guess sometimes. Pretty sure Live 2011 game has the most left legged kickers out of the lot.
Even though i'm an American, during quarantine, i've developed an interest in watching Footy, as i find it very entertaining. Also, I'm a Swans Supporter as well, as i've wanted to become a fan of a Consistent Club and with the Swans having only missed the Finals only 4 times since 95, I decided to choose them. Plenty of greats since the 1990's. Lockett, Goodes, Jetta, Johnson, Buddy (Although he was better with Hawthorn), Roos, etc. and future hopefuls including Papley and Allir.
Well damn. This looks like a really fun sport to watch and it has a surprisingly big international scene with utterly random countries. Will definitely check out the 2021 International Cup o: You mad lad you're tricking gamers into watching kangaroo rugby!
I went to Oklahoma State in 2010. Most evenings I would go to The Colvin (campus recreation center) for pick-up basketball. First to 21 5v5. Being 6’4 meant I was often the tallest, until the 6’11 dude would show up. He later walk-on Oklahoma State’s basketball team, meaning, unlike me, he actually had basketball talent. *Once* in the countless times we played did I best him. That game I refused to post up forcing him to guard me around the 3-point line. And for some reason, everything I did that game was right. I scored 17 of the 21 points that game - thanks to several lucky skyhooks. The dude I was playing against was Mason Cox, current Ruckman for Collingwood. The moral of the story: I BEAT A FUTURE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE *ONCE* when I was 18 (he was was 19), in a sport he wouldn’t go professional in.
Im from america and i've been watching the sport since 2018 when a family friend from australia introduced it to me and i gotta say i love it, GO CROWS!
My dad was an AFL player in the 90s (playing for Sydney and Essendon) and is in AFL 98. Being in a video games is so fucking cool, really hope I can play the game one day!
I am from the UK and this is really interesting. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time minimme and I will like to see what videos you have in store for the future. Keep up the good work my friend. 😁👍
There are 3 (or 4) sports in Australia that are referred to as "footy" by the people who watch each code. There is AFL the subject of this video, Rugby (think Springboks and the Brits) and Rugby league which is like a derivative of Rugby and my personal sport of choice. A forth could maybe be Football but 95% of the pop or more just call it soccer
AFL Live is great. A bit bare bones, but I had high hopes for the future of the series. Then Live 2 came out. :( It's great to see another soul who is blinded by their love of Aussie rules enough to push through the faults of these games. I have put a disgusting amount of hours in to Evo 1. Haha
brother in law lost my copy of AFL 98, someone's gotta upload that shit for me because it's the best - you can cannonball like ten guys at once by running into a group of players

On the Big Ant dev timeline, we did go over budget, however that was at Big Ant's cost - we're intensely mad AFL fans so we wanted to make sure the gameplay was as good as we thought it could be. Once the game was good at its core, it was our intention to bring more depth in later versions, as we did with RLL/Cricket/AO etc but obviously didn't get the chance.
With the Tru Blu "Game of the Year Edition", it came about because MS/PS have a disk duplication discount for a "GOTY" edition, they just didn't think anyone would be cheeky enough to call a game that to get the discount.

i don’t know anything about football or sports, but this whole video was great. hearing someone talk about something they’re interested in just makes the ride all that much more enjoyable. much love!!
I'm an Australian who isn't into sports, including AFL and cricket (crazy, I know). But I've always been intrigued by an AFL game I've seen here and there. Interesting to finally see them, and from a standpoint of a footy fan too. It was enjoyable to see Aussie oriented games, even if I have nearly no idea of the sport. Keep it up mate!
AFL Live 2003: Heartbeat indicator? THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS?
If you didn’t hear this at school:
If you supported afl and some kid came up to you and said “you like gayfl” than you didn’t go to school
Sounds like a NSW/Qld thing. I lived in WA for 20 years and Vic for another 20 years. No one has ever said that to me.
Yeah it seems to stem from the distaste of afl in Nsw/QLD as I think Rugby League is more popular. I lived in Victoria for a good portion of my life then moved to NSW where then the ‘Gayfl’ comments started
@@KirbyWGlasses Yeah, NSW/ QLD are more rugby states rather than AFL
Sounds like an East Coast thing I'm too far West to understand
It might be because I'm 14 or because I'm Adelaidian, but I've never experienced that.
I'm a Russian living in America, and even I support AFL, I played Football(Soccer) and Australian Rules Football since I was young back in Russia.
minimmee,
I’ve been watching your stuff a lot lately. I don’t normally care for sports games, and I didn’t even know what the AFL was. But your content is always so chill, and well read, I enjoyed every moment of this. Don’t be afraid of making more content around games you care for. Thanks for the hour long lesson on this!
non-australians: "whats a hand ball?"
pretty much just punching the ball with the side of your fist to pass the ball to another player.
handball has like 100 different meanings throughout all sports
How the hell is the Aussie audience so small! You're such a great TH-camr!
Up there Cazaly!
Thank you for exposing me to this new sport that I will now spend the whole day learning about.
I do kinda like to have a game of each different kind of sport in my library, so I might have to pick up one of these. Thanks for covering all these games!
50 minutes of minimme's voice on rainy day working from home, this is bliss
I am a Brazilian that first AFL beacuse a Brazilian guy started playing AFL few years ago (i cant even remember his name), but i followed more closer in last few years watching 2017 and 2018 Grand Finals live (i dont had the luck to watch 2019)
superninja252 was it Héritier Lumumba?
Footyforever 123 ye must have been
Duuuude I played the absolute hell out of AFL Live Premiership Edition (2004) as a kid. "Goodes... produces the goods" lives in my head rent-free. Amazing video, man
Only 4% of your audience is Aussie? Now I feel special
Footy looks like it's a really cool sport, I hope it gains lots of traction in the future.
Congrats on this vid, many hours of work but the result is great and you're doing justice to some underappreciated work yet again you goddamn hero without a cape.
I'm from Sydney and I think it should be noted that not only is AFL limited to Australia, the majority of teams are from Victoria (the second most populous state). NRL is the most popular football code here in Sydney and is a slight variation to Rugby Union, but also has it's own video games! My favourite sport is traditional football or soccer and is also widely played. As you might expect australians love sports
I'm actually impressed by the eye toy face mapping 😂.
Big US fan of both rugby and ur channel. I found out about AFL one day whil3 probably researching rugby on Wikipedia and i was instantly fascinated, glad u made a video such as this!! Ill check out aussie rules footy on NES if i can!
Afl live 04 was my favourite game as a kid. Barry Hall was an absolute beast on that game.
14:05 That's the most Australian thing I've ever heard in my life
I did work experience for Big Ant Studio for Live 2011. One of the jobs they made we do was go through each player and figure out if they kicked with their left or right foot. Because not all that information was available I would just guess sometimes. Pretty sure Live 2011 game has the most left legged kickers out of the lot.
I adore the fact that mascot manor is the first and only game ever to have a playable footscray level
Even though i'm an American, during quarantine, i've developed an interest in watching Footy, as i find it very entertaining. Also, I'm a Swans Supporter as well, as i've wanted to become a fan of a Consistent Club and with the Swans having only missed the Finals only 4 times since 95, I decided to choose them. Plenty of greats since the 1990's. Lockett, Goodes, Jetta, Johnson, Buddy (Although he was better with Hawthorn), Roos, etc. and future hopefuls including Papley and Allir.
Mate, you could've fooled me if you told me you were a fellow Aussie. Besides maybe the username ;)
Was this deliberately released on the day the footy comesback? Also love the fact a reputable reviewer has finally reviewed all these games.
I used to play the afl 2005 in playstation 2 all the time and I forgot all about it until this video, thank you for bringing up all dem memories
This is genuinely one of the coolest sports I’ve seen
I like how the pitch looks like a giant drawing of the ball.
As a native Aussie and lifelong footy fan, this thought has never connected with me
You should review Scarface the World is Yours
Minimme is the only person on this platform that can make me watch an hour long video about video games based on a sport i've never heard of
It is extremely unfair that I have never seen this sport before ever. Thank you
Well damn. This looks like a really fun sport to watch and it has a surprisingly big international scene with utterly random countries.
Will definitely check out the 2021 International Cup o: You mad lad you're tricking gamers into watching kangaroo rugby!
Cool! A new video! I love your content, greeting from Chile!
I went to Oklahoma State in 2010. Most evenings I would go to The Colvin (campus recreation center) for pick-up basketball. First to 21 5v5.
Being 6’4 meant I was often the tallest, until the 6’11 dude would show up. He later walk-on Oklahoma State’s basketball team, meaning, unlike me, he actually had basketball talent.
*Once* in the countless times we played did I best him. That game I refused to post up forcing him to guard me around the 3-point line. And for some reason, everything I did that game was right. I scored 17 of the 21 points that game - thanks to several lucky skyhooks.
The dude I was playing against was Mason Cox, current Ruckman for Collingwood.
The moral of the story:
I BEAT A FUTURE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE *ONCE* when I was 18 (he was was 19), in a sport he wouldn’t go professional in.
So thankful I found an Australian gamer youtube channel!
“Those god damn umpires” come on you and I both know the Dogs deserved that premiership 😂great video though love to see AFL getting a wider audience
I'm expecting to see Mini having a punchout in front of an IGA
What. The. Fook? Australian football? First time I heard of it.
"Footie" 😂
some good fights break out. afl is sick more dangerous than american football
Have a look at it mate. Seasons on tonight. Very fun sport
@@ayderla789 Sure...
Im from america and i've been watching the sport since 2018 when a family friend from australia introduced it to me and i gotta say i love it, GO CROWS!
My dad was an AFL player in the 90s (playing for Sydney and Essendon) and is in AFL 98. Being in a video games is so fucking cool, really hope I can play the game one day!
7:49 that song would fit right in a harvest moon
Afl the game created to confuse non australians. Then again it's even confusing to some australians
Idk if this is weird but this video is my go to when I can not fall asleep haha I mean that in the highest of compliments good sir
This needs more views.
I am from the UK and this is really interesting. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time minimme and I will like to see what videos you have in store for the future. Keep up the good work my friend. 😁👍
Me: Doesn't even like Australian Football
Also me: watches because an hour of Minime is still an hour of Minime.
Really nice of you to make the effort to keep us foreigners engaged. This sport is even more incomprehensible than cricket.
i literally got chills when i saw a 54-min minimme video! a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!
There are 3 (or 4) sports in Australia that are referred to as "footy" by the people who watch each code. There is AFL the subject of this video, Rugby (think Springboks and the Brits) and Rugby league which is like a derivative of Rugby and my personal sport of choice. A forth could maybe be Football but 95% of the pop or more just call it soccer
AFL Live is great. A bit bare bones, but I had high hopes for the future of the series. Then Live 2 came out. :(
It's great to see another soul who is blinded by their love of Aussie rules enough to push through the faults of these games. I have put a disgusting amount of hours in to Evo 1. Haha
I'd love to see some AFL Live modding to strengthen its weak points.
AWESOME!!! I haven't seen anyone cover the AFL games and im so glad you did. I'm a Geelong supporter and love all the games. Great video man
I feel honored to be in the 4 percent of your Australian viewers, personally I support the Geelong Cats
brother in law lost my copy of AFL 98, someone's gotta upload that shit for me because it's the best - you can cannonball like ten guys at once by running into a group of players
35:29 “bulldozed into the ocean” is that a 2 Guys 1 Cup Wil Anderson reference?
The original Nintendo AFL game cannot be beat - OUT OF BOUNDS, ON THE FULL!
You've absolutely nailed the appeal of that NES AFL game, it is amazing.
Just watched a 54 minute about a sport I've never experienced before
I love you minimme
