Gameplay

AFL Evolution has three different career modes: the players can start as a coach, a listed player, or the created character. The coach mode revolves around running a team while handling tasks such as training schedules, finances and staff management. Besides playing single matches against the AI, up to four players can play online in multiplayer.

‘Be a pro’-type modes in games such as FIFA and NBA 2K allow the player to create a character and guide them through their career. You can start as an under 18, work your way up, play in the VFL and eventually get signed by an AFL team. the player will be able to leave after the season if they don't like the team their character is placed on, while also being able to start a career as an existing player or avoid the whole pre-AFL process entirely and jump straight into the elite competition. Also returning from AFL Live 2 is manager career mode, which is very similar to 'be a pro' mode in the way that you can start from the U18 TAC Cup and work your way up, or you can jump straight into the AFL.

Reception

Upon release, AFL Evolution received generally mixed reviews. Press Start Australia gave the game a 6/10. Fox Sports Australia gave the game a 6/10 and 7Sport gave the game a 6.5/10.
