If they get any of the Coreyâs in the game Joel and or Enright I might even consider picking up pt
I know the ba team is getting rammed with the RL debacle, but yeah no patch notes for the midweek patch. Iâm guessing stability? Weird seeing it is a relatively big patch 2ish gb for console
Patches of that size have always generally been content. There were a bunch a Legend Packs added and new packs added in the store. My guess would be there, with some stability thrown in.

Just logged back into the game after a bit of time away. It seems a bit better!
Defending still pretty rough because AI teammates run around with no purpose and spoils go straight to opposition. Does anyone have any tips for defending around the ground?
Incorrect disposal is still silly. Canât get caught while kicking the ball but if you tackle an opposition player they can get a kick away.
Iâm so glad this game is better than Rugby League 26 though

For defending. My best practice is to icon switch to a player further up the ground. Drop him into space and you are more than likely to get an intercept or end up being the third man into a marking contest.
BTW Big Ant would be nice in future updates to fix some of the AI
player makes the run - i aim the handball perfectly for them to run onto --------AI teammate runs away from the pillâŚhad a chuckle at it then realised how stupid that was.
Just need to make the players run onto the pill. With manual aiming we have so much control of where the pill goes. It should also act as a way to direct where your ai teammates run to also.

There should be different camera qualityâs.
For example 90âs if you are playing with 90âs teams. And even a retro scoreboard
Make marking easier (bigger window)
Make tackles more effective
Increase the window for getting tackled bigger so you donât get pinned as much
I would still use manual handball and kick - way more fun that way.
You can adjust the game to your liking via custom difficulty or just start from easiest and work your way up.
Camera selection I feel plays a super important role in gameplay experience.
Broadcast normal is my fav with FOV set to 100.

But they donât have 90âs teams in game yet, maybe the should just start with adding that first

Apart from having broadcast normal and fov set as 100 what do you have set for height?
i havent touched height. I might in the future. But atm 50 is fine for me.
ai really needs to be fixed they are still very dumb, winning every game so easily on hardesr

Nice mate, definitely the one that will take the longest!
Lads, I know thereâs a sliders thread but it hasnât been updated for a while, does anyone have decent sliders to make the game more difficult but still realistic? I know all the basic âmake marking harderâ etc but I am still going through management mode winning 20+ games every season
Unfortunately at this rate the only thing that can fix it is an AI behaviour improvement, Iâve done everything I can with my sliders, theyâre perfect.
Iâve gotten to the point that I wonât play anyone that isnât in the top 4, because the difficulty increases for better teams.

Are you able to share your sliders in the sliders post for interest?

Yeah Iâm in the exact same boat unfortunately. There needs to be more variation in the way games play out. Tactics need to be more of an impactful thing, and more of them too. Ai should take the game on more through the middle when theyâre down, vice versa when theyâre up to defend a lead. Sadly I feel like itâs an extremely hard balance to strike with any sports game. Literally have to make marking, rucking, tackling near impossible to have a closeish game which takes a lot of the fun out of it. I feel like evo 2 had the closest thing to balancing it all, that being the clutch stat. Yes it absolutely drove me up the wall when theyâd just pile on 8 goals straight in a quarter but at least most of the games were close. Would love for the difficulty to be beefed up in 26.
Is online any different for those that play? Havenât had xbox gold for a long time but might consider it

If youâre a pro I understand the appeal but this topic has a fair history. Back in the ye olde days of 23 when there was open communication elsewhere it was discussed at length that cheap tricks to make the game harder were unpopular. This included rubber banding (which I personally donât like) and kick animation time - I think one of the Evo / Live 2 games did and it really sucked. You had to be ten meters in the clear while the AI was doing fifty meter passes on a dime.
Since AI routines to âplay better footyâ will be a WIP for a long time, I think the only viable option is to make skills based play more difficult. Shorter QTE windows, faster kicking meters and so on. Best of all a new difficulty like this should be achievable - crank everything up, call it Ultimate Legend or whatever, give it a 1.3 XP loading on PT and so on. My two cents.
