I played yesterday with auto on and I’m sure all 4 of my subs got minutes. I only realized they were on when they received the ball and then I looked at stats afterwards. I seem to have lost the interchange alert.
Downloaded another update on the PS5 last night around 700 mb
This time I played an NRL game 80 minutes on vintage mode set to wet.
No sign of rain anymore but jerseys do get a muddy look about them
Game was evenly matched for the first 21 minutes I was leading 12 to 10 then I had a player sin binned. Opposition scored converted 3 tries to lead 28 to 12 at halftime. Second half starts they score another to go to 32 to 12 before my player came back. I clawed my way back to get within 2 but they eventually overpowered my tired team and won 60 to 42.
What I noticed was there were very few intercepts but heaps more knock on and double knock ons with the team on 4 occasions first to knock on getting the ball back.
The game stats are a good addition but they are missing set restarts of which there were 6 in the game. Also my player got man of the match even though the opposition flogged me. Not sure if player rankings were updated or it was just because i was in vintage mode but there were way to many offloads by the AI. I had reduced every NRL players rating in the game to decrease this last weekend.
Still able to score easy tries with a chip kick 4 of my 7 were scored this way.
No changes to the custom sections. Jerseys, Stadiums or games.
No AI player names on screen and ref doesn’t call the tackle count. The commentary is boring and i have turned it off. Tried both sets the pommie boys and the Aussie boys. If I was to pick 1 it would be the pommie boys.
No wind affecting kicks.
Still no NSW cup or international teams. I’d actually be happy to pay 5 dollars if they gave us them and fixed the custom section although it is part of the game and should be available in a better version of the previous game.
Still can’t update some player rankings in the squad. My Dragons squad has 45 players from memory in career mode but I can only update 32 or 34.
I expect we probably get another tonight. I will go back to pro mode for 80 minutes and see how that plays out.

I think the logic on interactions from kicks needs a rework. I don’t think kicks hitting a defender should ever really result in a knock on. Played at seems like a really hard thing to judge in the game, so defaulting to ‘not played at” seems like the better option to me. Its pretty punishing to play a good set of defence only to give up a repeat set when a kick hits your player. I’ve tried using Square for the charge down, as stated in the controls, doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

There is a lot of room for improvement around loose ball and kicks and knock ons
Especially with the AFL experience in house at BA

Any word on the broken trophies/achievements being fixed?

Offside players running back to defend, interfering the passing lanes doesn’t count as a penalty for offside. Rather it’s play on.
Also when players kick the ball into their own teams players while they’re offside doesn’t count as an offside.
No update last night. Played an NRL game 80 minutes on pro mode.
Way less intercepts which was good.
There appears to be a bug though that in certain parts of the field the AI deliberately kick into the feet of the opposition and the opposition player is ruled to have knocked on which gives the AI team another set.
I lead 18 - 16 at half time and the match report shows one of the tries being scored in the 42 minute. I ended up winning 42 to 26 and the last try was recorded as being scored in the 82nd minute. The Sexton try was also scored in the 36th minute not the 39th. Something the developers can look at i suppose. Attached is the full time match report. At least the winning side had man of the match unlike my loss on vintage mode where i scored 7 tries and the AI scored 12 and my team got man of the match. Hopefully we get a big update this week.
The other pleasing thing is there are no more outrageous scores to the AI generated games when you play a comp.
One other thing to add if you have 90 sets in a game and every set is 6 tackles that makes 540 tackles not 753 as is shown on the match report. Also 219 missed tackles is a bit steep for the opposition. For that to have happened I expect the score would have been well over 100. I’m not that good…hahahaha

are you able to look at the following
- when playing offline players names for computer disappearance only show on some games
- in competition mode ladder font really small hard to read
- add player stats into and dally m to offline competition mode
- go straight to current round in competition mode always defaults to pre season
- randomised fixtures in offline competition mode so not always the same
- option to download updated player stats instead of it doing automatically ( like they do in fifa)
- captain to lead out teams at start of games ( it’s always fullback atm)
loving game so far
Seems multiplayer in career mode is still not possible?
Any details of timings of fixing the glitched achievements/trophies? Surely that is an easy enough fix…

How do I create a post in this thing?
Audio:
Crowd noise needs to be better too quiet and crowd reaction to
Commentary from Andrew Voss and Cam Smith needs complete overhaul to many awkward silences between sentences and almost sounds robotic. The super league commentary is a lot better as there conversation seems to flow well with the game play.
Game Play:
Defense line don’t react to offloads they stop moving forward and likewise with attacking team that offloads the ball they do not react fast enough when players should be pushing up in support
Fullbacks are out of position and stuck behind play the ball most the time on attack when they should be pushing up through the middle of the ruck in support of ball runners or they should be in position out wide sweeping on block plays creating 3 on 2 or 2 on 1 opportunities.
Block Runners are in wrong position most of time for instance running behind ball receiver instead of in front and also wrong players in wrong positions for block plays for example a halfback running block play for a second rower to receive
Animations for the tackle collision need work the attacking player seems to come to a complete halt when tackled 99% of the time when momentum should play a big part and post contact meters should come into consideration
More Variety with attacking kicks
Sidestep variation gooseys and a jump step like Kalyn Ponga or Shaun Johnson
More realistic passing physics for example props shouldn’t be able to do cut out passes as well as halves
Team Rosters:
Being able to remove players from the licensed rosters as we have the ability to add players but not remove
International, NSW cup, Jersey Flagg teams need to be added
Animations:
Trainers running waters
Coaches in the box and on the sideline
Ball boys
Pre game and half time interview cut scenes like how FIFA do
Pre game coin toss cut scene
Players communicating on field pointing and directing play in attack and defence
Bench players warming up on sideline
Realistic and signature try celebrations
Signature kicking techniques goal kicking and general play kicking
Correct body shapes for each player
Home ground entertainment for example Canberra Raiders-Viking clap/horn blowing, NZ Warriors-stadium blackout with blue lights walkout/Polynesian drums, Brisbane Broncos-Buck the bronco, South Sydney Rabbitohs-Glory Glory song walkout, Melbourne Storm running through banner
Team Mascots and cheer leaders.
Drone footage cut scenes

Not sure why or if anyone else is having the same problem?? But cannot play completion matches? The option to play match is goooone..
Please fix asap big ant
Got home to another small update.
You can now see the socks when you edit them.
Played an international Samoa v Tonga in Samoa. Me Samoa. 80 minutes pro mode.
The rain is visibly back which is good. The AI isn’t deliberately kicking the ball into the oppositions legs and getting a 6 again for a knock on.
18 to 14 Samoa halftime
36 to 14 Samoa fulltime
The undeserved man of the match was Staggs in a beaten side. Should have been Jazz Tevaga. Played the 80 minutes at dummy half and was best on field followed by Haas.
Still no AI player names on the screen or ref calling the tackle count. This definitely needs attention.
This game is definitely getting better.
8.5 for game play still around 4 for the editors, lack of teams that should be in it and lack of a custom comp and for me a custom rules to go with it.

When playing CPU it only subs players 14 $ 15 never 16 & 17.
Player birthdates still incorrect (Zach Lamont, Jacob Edgar, ect)
Can’t use downloaded players and can’t find them in club team lists (Taylan May & ect). They also don’t get added to career mode.
Jed Stuart unable to see in players only in team select.
Career mode auto signing players when you advance costing you cap space.
Solomon Faatapae hair glitches and is like pixelated white
Sorry if it’s already mentioned but in player stats after the game is simmed running meters are always 0 for everyone the same for all other fixtures.
Just won the first game in Ladder Leaders against Trinity 94 points to nil and it has recorded it as a loss.. so I’ve now lost my ladder ticket, do not get to continue the ladder, 0xp for the game.

Just big hitted a player and he knocked the ball on clear as day, wasn’t registered as a knock on instead a play on.
Seems we’ve gone from too many knock ons with the grubber glitch to now none.
Please please please fix multiplayer in career. It works in play now. I can add controller but doesn’t move to team select.
