Not sure how many of you guys know but there's an Aussie Rules simulation game that has yet to be finished but is in its alpha testing stages called Holding the Ball. The creator is the creator of Track King but I don't play horse racing simulation games. On the website it says it will open public alpha testing at the end of November. While on Facebook it says beta testing and first season will begin in February, each season will last 4 months. Since it's an Aussie Rules simulation game, thought some of you sports simulation enthusiasts would be interested in playing and spreading the news.

Here's the website:

Should be interesting. I found AFL sims difficult to get into because there are just so many damned players to keep track of, but if done well, it would be worth a crack.

There was an afl sim out there called on the ball. I used to played it quite a long time ago, but lost interest (dunno why, the game itself was reasonably solid). Seems like that game is pretty well dead though.

they're off to a bad start. the video on the front page wouldnt be holding the ball anymore, poor old Dean Kemp woulda been pinged for a push in the back.
maybe they should call the game 'push in the back' ?

I played Track King for years. Hopefully it's as good as that. Will be well worth a look.

Nope. You will have to let us know how it is going.
