Bugs and Issues Megathread

[jkal2026]

@Krypter

Put your bugs and errors you’ve down below. Fromat them as follows and I can just add them to the main post. Hopefully this helps Big Ant see and sort through what they can and can’t improve. Hopefully leading to a better experience for everyone.

• Suncorp Stadium is called Townsville

• Halves are swapped in career

• Changing your team in quickplay will often result in wrong jerseys and multiple fullbacks

• Multiple characters with wrong preferred positions

• Ruck speed is all wrong and messes with the tactics

• Swapping player by holding RB and selecting doesn’t work and resets to ruck

• Choosing fullback with RB and LB doesn’t work and resets to closest player

• Everytime the ball is kicked into touch or a player runs or is tackled into touch its an automatic play the ball on the 50m line other than 20 - 40 or 40 - 20 kicks

• Dummy half falls over the line when play the ball is 1m from goal area

• Grubber kicks are almost always straight, very difficult to direct them. Should have an aim line or something. Same with chip kicks. (Not really a bug)

• Golden point scoring a try doesnt end the match its plays out as if its standard extra time. (Not sure if its the same with field goals in GP)

• Had a Mick Ennis commentary line come out of Vossy. So much for no recycled lines

• Sometimes when passing a long ball the ball doesn’t reach its target which is fine. But when you run multiple players over the ball they ignore it until its either intercepted or goes out.

• PS5 - Competition Game Crashes - Adding players to Squads

• Kicking ball out on a full, opposing team plays the ball back on half way.

• Player stats. Saab, Hammer, Koula, weeks Savage, Khan Pieria(didn’t spell check) all need to be nearly un catchable and not get run down by forwards. So a whole over haul needs doing.

• Holding the pass button needs to slow the player down and not speed up.

• Interchange menu needs to be enlarged.

• In game stats- you only get to know who scored the tries and kicked conversions. Theres not MOTM or any other stat.

• Short kick off, bounces over the 40m bounces back and players just stand there and not get the ball. The ball went 10 so they should be playing the ball.

• Player getting hit without ball, same bug from RLL4

• Pausing game occasionally stops commentary, pause and un pause brings it back.

• Knocking ball on scoring a try, resulted in turn over at half way line.

• AI passed into offside player, resulted in six again but I intercepted and didn’t result in a penalty.

• 6 again rule doesn’t maintain an advantage for current play to revert for penalty if infringing team take possession. Same in Rugby 25 where an advantage seems to disappear immediately if the infringing team gets possession.

• tackle count reset after injury as mentioned

• Ref sound effects are all out of sync

• Ref sits back witht he fullback

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

I know they fixed the in-match substitute screen and made it bigger, but when you hold down the pass button, the icons above the relevant players are still tiny. (PS5).

[YellowCanary]

Seems multiplayer in career mode is still not possible?

[stumpt80]

Any details of timings of fixing the glitched achievements/trophies? Surely that is an easy enough fix…

[Funkyferret707]

How do I create a post in this thing?

[That_mann]

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

[mattwire]

I still wish there was an option in the display settings to switch off the running lines.

[Valhalla_Vagabond]

Yeah totally agree, if you want to make it look less arcade you should be allowed. Just play it as you see it type stuff or playing from memory if you have put enough time in I guess too ha ha.

I am all for less invasive screens when it comes to UI.

[ArtVandalay]

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.

[Valhalla_Vagabond]

Strange bug. In my created player teams ratings they show as 84 overall.

Yet when I go in to play now … their ratings drop by 3 points overall?

This is the squad in creation

And this is the squad in play now

So they should not change?

It does not drop with licensed sides

No biggie, but just a weird change that you may want to check whats going on.

[Mango95]

lol this got awarded! Galvin is my goat

[mattwire]

• Halfbacks still getting numbers mixed up between 6 and 7, I put George Williams at 6 in the lineup, he’s wearing 7 on the pitch.

Still frustrating that I can’t allow Marc Sneyd to wear 35 at the 7 position as in real life.

Little things ruin immersion.

• Still no advertising boards on the touchline in Super League.

• No audible referee tackle counts, as noted.

• Agree with previous points regarding audio levels and especially the crowd. Still no stadium announcer either.

The game is “heaps” better as you Aussies say, much more playable. The difference from 2 weeks ago is night and day. Glad to see wind is back, also pleased to see my fullback catch a punt near the sideline and not just run straight over the line.

We’re getting there guys. It’ll be a great game sooner rather than later.

Thank you Big Ant for listening and engaging.

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

[Jastav1]

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.

[SirMcSquid]

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.

[chipchipperson]

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.

[YellowCanary]

Please please please fix multiplayer in career. It works in play now. I can add controller but doesn’t move to team select.

[Luco1960]

Ok got home and there was another small patch. Instead of dowloading it i uninstalled the game from my PS5 then reinstalled it from the play store. I did this so i would have no modifoed players, team or stadiums and i will start a fresh.
I decided to play the full 80 minutes in pro mode as the Indigenous side against the Maori. No tweaks except i added a few players to the squad that were unavailable when the actual game was played.
Terrific game. Lead 24 to 12 at half time and finished strongly 35 to 18.
I noticed wind for the first time. I have finally worked out grubbers into the ingoal scoring 3 tries using it and trapping them in goal for a dropout 4 times. This is the best all round game i have played. The completions can now be seen in their entirety on the match stats page which wasn’t happening before. The only problem there is no man of the match. Not sure if it never had one for this event as it is the first time i played it. I give it a 9 out of 10 now for on field game play.
It is still lacking the ref calling the tackles and the AI opponents names on the screen.
Time to start working on the other parts of the game.
Firstly put in the NSW Cup and International teams.
Secondly fix the jersey editor so we have more options to create jerseys like we did in RLL3. Give us all the options that RLL4 had for stadium creators and give us the ability to make a custom comp with custom rules. It would be a much appreciated addition to the game. Big cheer to the boys at NACOM and Big ant for the decent product we now have. Lets make it better🙂

[Valhalla_Vagabond]

The commentators never recognise the first conversion or penalty. If you have 2 from 3 they will say 1 from 2. If you have 5 from 6 they will say 4 from 5. It is never right.
