Hi WW. Firstly can I say how much improved Evo 2 is compared to the last game of yours I played (live 2). To be honest, really wasn't a huge fan of that one at all. So I guess my question is about the Under 18's national carnival. I've been playing for Tasmania in career. Got selected for the National Carnival, for Vic Country. I wasn't the best at geography at school, but country Vic and Tas are a little bit distant. If you aren't going to include Tasmania in the national carnival (and I cant see why you wouldn't of), can you at least make the Tasmanian players play for the Allies rather than Vic Country? At minimum can we decline state games, as (and I know it sounds parochial) but Id rather not compete at the carnival than play for Vic? And suggestion, is could you guys include some generic suburban grounds for created teams/ state league? In the aforementioned state game I played for Vic country against WA at a packed Optus Stadium. Probably not the most realistic for under 18's.

I can’t really talk for the Tasmania aspect, but as for the country/smaller grounds idea, I completely agree. Even if it is for example the WA or SA Under 18 teams, they really should be played at either an empty Optus/Adelaide Oval, or a generic, smaller ground. Even if these games could be played at the smaller stadiums that are in the game, like Port Melbourne, Mars Stadium, Box Hill, or Bendigo, I think that would be far better than a packed Optus/Adelaide Oval. Obviously, this would apply around the country. Anyway, it’ll be interesting to hear Wicked Witches response! Keep up the good work with the game guys!
@nathan.grafton Thanks for your post. Hopefully we can fix up that Tasmania issue for you. I will note the National Championship games are worth more to your draft selection than standard U18 games, feel free to simulate them for the time being. I know it's not ideal, but unfortunately there isn't a better solution at this stage.
As for generic suburban grounds, it's something we've spoken about adding in before, but didn't make the cut this time around. I've passed it onto the team to see if they want to discuss further in the future.
Hey @Community Manager Jack thanks for the quick response.
I know it's sounds stupid with the Vic thing, but much like Victorians growing up being told to hate SA or WA teams, it just feels wrong being Tasmanian and playing for Vic (country or otherwise).
Thanks on the reply on the generic grounds too. Even if you can open up parts for modding (I know there are licenses involved, so it's easier said than done), or some sort of editor (again I know thats easier said than done)?
as @benwhite5477 said it would just make things a little more realistic if a WAFL or SANFL game was played in a smaller stadium, or even just the main stadiums with reduced capacity.
