Mechanics
As befits a sports simulation, AFL Live: The Premiership Edition faithfully reflects the principles of Australian football. Matches of 22-person teams are divided into 20-minute quarters. The arena is made up of oval playgrounds and the players' task is to place the ball behind the opponent's goal line. However, there are several rules related to how to attack rivals, intercept the ball, kick and so on. Depending on the situation on the pitch, the player can change the tactics of their team.
Technical aspects
From the technical side, AFL Live: Premiership Edition is based on solutions known from the previous parts of the series. Character animations have been prepared with the use of the motion-capture technique. The developers also took care of the faithful representation of sports arenas and replicating the appearance of the stars of this sport. The commentary is provided by Dennis Cometti and Gerald Healy.
