Introduction I have been a fan of the Australian Football League my entire life. When the first game (AFL 98) came out on PC, I was rapt, and I bought it. I have bought every game since, only to be disappointed with AFL Live 2004, which is somewhat poorer than its three predecessors. In April 2004, AFL Live Premiership Edition was released, which was more of an update to the previous AFL game, because of the many glitches it once held. The game includes the updated rosters, but the ratings of teams and players are the same. It is much better than AFL Live 2004, but still has some glitches that weren't in the former. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Why Change Line-Ups? A lot of people think changing line-ups is a waste of time. You guys can feel that way if you want, but the people who want to change line-ups, please read on. In every AFL game I have bought, the Eagles team has been out-of-date since the release. I change it a lot as it has a lot of players who can't get a game, are in weird positions, or I just don't like. That's why I made this guide, in case there are people out there like me who hate the line-ups that this game gives to us if we don't change them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Team Tactics So far, only two team tactics for this guide, both for the Eagles, which I've tried to match as close as possible as to what they used during the 2004 season, and what they are using during the 2005 season. WEST COAST EAGLES ----------------- -- 2004 Tactics -- -- my own work -- Style: 60% Attacking Movement: 55% Handball (Quick) Kicking: 55% Long Defence: 60% Man-up Tackling: 60% Aggressive -- 2005 Tactics -- -- my own work -- Style: 60% Attacking Movement: 60% Handball (Quick) Kicking: 55% Short Defence: 60% Man-up Tackling: 50% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

Have Fosdike and Davis rotate into the midfield at times in the game. Continually rotate C.Bolton, James, Schauble and Goodes from backline to forward line and vice-versa. Have Ball and Doyle rotate in the ruck and up-forward. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEST COAST EAGLES ----------------- -- My own work -- Forwards: P.Matera, A.McDougall, A.Sampi Half-Forwards: D.Kerr, A.Hansen, S.Butler Centres: M.Braun, B.Cousins, A.Embley Half-Backs: C.Morrison, Q.Lynch, M.Nicoski Backs: D.Wirrpunda, D.Glass, D.Banfield Followers: M.Gardiner, C.Fletcher, C.Judd Interchange: D.Cox, D.Chick, B.Staker, M.Seaby -- My own work -- Forwards: M.Seaby, A.McDougall, P.Matera Half-Forwards: A.Embley, B.Staker, A.Sampi Centres: M.Braun, C.Judd, D.Kerr Half-Backs: C.Morrison, Q.Lynch, M.Nicoski Backs: D.Wirrpunda, D.Glass, D.Banfield Followers: M.Gardiner, B.Cousins, D.Kerr Interchange: D.Cox, D.Chick, S.Butler, B.Jones Use Daniel Chick as a tagger in both line-ups. With the ruck rotations, be sure to use at least Cox and Gardiner in the ruck, and if you need to, use Seaby. If you're taking Dean Cox out of the ruck, put him on the bench, not anywhere else on the field. Seaby should play most of the game up forward, leaving the brunt of the ruckwork to Gardiner and Cox. Feel free to rotate Sampi, Embley, Kerr, Judd, Cousins and Braun on and off the ball. -- Tall Forward Line -- -- credit to www.wxmforums.net -- Forwards: A.Hansen, A.McDougall, M.Seaby Half-Forwards: A.Embley, B.Staker, A.Hunter Centres: M.Braun, B.Cousins, C.Judd Half-Backs: C.Morrison, Q.Lynch, M.Nicoski Backs: D.Wirrpunda, D.Glass, D.Banfield Followers: M.Gardiner, C.Fletcher, D.Kerr Interchange: D.Cox, S.Butler, D.Chick, P.Johnson Rotate the forward line so all forwards have a shot at Full Forward, and who performs the best. Rotate Gardiner into CHF, and Cox into the ruck, putting Staker on the bench. Use Butler as a midfield drifting forward, and Chick as the tagger. Use Johnson as a secondary tall forward if one gets injured or is tired. -- 2005 Line-up (close as I could get it) -- -- my own work -- Forwards: P.Matera, Q.Lynch, M.Gardiner Half-Forwards: A.Embley, A.Hansen, B.Cousins Centres: M.Braun, C.Fletcher, A.Selwood Half-Backs: C.Morrison, B.Staker, M.Nicoski Backs: D.Wirrpunda, D.Glass, D.Banfield Followers: D.Cox, C.Judd, D.Kerr Interchange: A.Sampi, D.Chick, S.Butler, A.Hunter Chad Morrison is in this guide, because Stenglein took over his role pretty much, so I just slotted him in there. Even though I put Daniel Chick on the bench, use him as your tagger, along with Banfield and Braun if you need them (yes, tagging actually works in this game).If Lynch sucks up forward, put either Staker or Hunter at Full-Forward, and put Lynch at CHB, or on the bench. Move the defenders around so they are always on the ideal matchup (ie Wirrpunda on smallest forward, Banfield on medium-size), and replace Nicoski with Hunter if you need another tall defender. Rotate the midfield, making sure all the midfielders and half-forwards get a rest, and make sure you give Cousins a decent spell in the centre if he is having a poor game on the flank. Make sure Embley, Sampi, and Nicoski have a go in the midfield, as well as forward/back line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WESTERN BULLDOGS ---------------- -- Credit to lebron101 -- Forwards: B.Harrison, J.Rawlings, L.Power Half-Forwards: M.Robbins, P.Bowden, A.Cooney Centres: J.McMahon, S.West, D.Giansiracusa Half-Backs: R.Murphy, C.Grant, R.Smith Backs: L.Gilbee, B.Harris, S.Koops Followers: L.Darcy, B.Johnson, N.Eagleton Interchange: P.Street, F.Ray, W.Skipper, M.Hahn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
