Games based on the sport have not been as presentable as first thought, but has still managed to sell well. For example,
AFL Live 2004 (Premiership 2005's predecessor) was the #1 selling game in Australia for some time but lacked the graphical detail and presentation that other sporting games like FIFA 2004, NBA Live 2004 or Madden NFL 2004 offered.The game was heavily advertised throughout
September 2005 on theNine Network andNetwork Ten in Australia. The game also received regular plugging from Australian Rules-based shows like "The Footy Show" and "Before the Game ". As a result, the game sold very well.Some gaming critics criticize the release time of the game Fact|date=February 2007. The game was released in September 2005, as the premiership season was coming to a close. Though the game did sell very well following the AFL Grand final, some felt it would have benefited more if the release was delayed until the start of the 2006 season, around
March 2006 .Game Features
