It appears we now have players offside most of the time now. They retreat back the 10 then if a cpu player breaks the line they are all offside and there is a penalty or 6 again awarded. Even when they chase the player 10 or more metres they are still offside.
Compound this with players dropping the ball forward picking it up and playing on, the cpu still messing up last tackle options more than they make a good kick and the stupid not picking up a ball played in the play the ball or the dummy half running through the ball player and the defender as if they were’t there. It seems the more you try to fix problems you create more. Please test these fixes before you use us as your R&D. This is becoming a joke.

I haven’t played the game in a week but just had a run meter bug I’ve never seen before.
Knights vs Eels, pre season I simulated game.
Veteran and 30 mins.
Team run meters - Knights and Eels both 900 odd ok I thought very low for both teams and they had close to 55 sets each.
I go to player stats for my Knights and look at run meters holy 
KPP - 344
Elliott - 259
Frizzell - 316
Young - 287
Gagai - 282
Saifiti - 292
Remember team run meters was 900 odd.
Dead

Big Ant what have you done?
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but lately I’ve been experiencing an issue where if I force the opponent into touch after a long kick, at the following play-the-ball my dummy half is penalised for being offside.

I can vouch for this and it’s very frustrating . Has Happened every game I’ve played today since the patch update and because of it I don’t even wanna play the game. Game needs to get fixed asap!!
Custom logos on jerseys not showing up in career mode.
Still can’t switch sides to change lineup before starting a game. “Press triangle to switch sides” doesn’t work.
CPU player name also not appearing. Sometimes (rarely) it’s there on kick off then just disappears for the remainder of the match.

Have been saying this for ages and have sent numerous tickets in as well. Frustrating!
I had a moment last game I played. Scores tied, final few seconds of GP extra time, my team had the ball about 10m out. Passed to my five-eighth directly in front and went for a field goal to win the game. Drop kicks the ball and it’s heading over the black dot. Then a tackler tackles my kicker (it was only a fraction of a second after he kicked it, but the ball was well clear of any other players. It was going over and I was about to win the game).
But as the tackler tackled my kicker, the ball reversed it’s direction immediately and was sucked back into the arms of my kicker who was being tackled. Game drawn.

I will literally volunteer to be play test this game. Surely someone from BA plays the game after a patch and sees these bugs before going to market
Unsure if I’ve found a bug or if I don’t know the NRL rules as I only watch super League. Was going for the 2 point drop goal achievement and every time the goal goes post and in it only counts as a 1 pointer. Is that the rule or is it a bug? Bit silly if that’s the rule, I assume it’s a bug
I haven’t seen it in the game, but sounds like a bug unless your kicker happens to step on or over the 40m line while kicking.
Simulated a game and the player run meters bug is still there, does Big Ant test the game after a patch is done this bug wasn’t in the game before until recently.

Offsides are not working properly at all now. Players can stay offside and still make tackles next play without penalty.

100% not. At first I thought the same so I made sure I was observing it properly.
When 2 people who are on pc try to play custom match the game bugs out and never loads in the game, but if you play someone who is on console the game loads in perfectly fine, been trying to play a mate for the past week with this issue and have not been able to play with each other
Game could do with a big list of gameplay sliders like other sports games so we can configure every aspect of the gameplay as we want to.
Not sure how many times this has been flagged, but there’s actually no difference in the playing difficulties at all over the last few updates. When I first played the game, rookie was harder than amateur, but in amateur all you had to do was run at someone, step or hit them up, and you’d get past and run right to the line, didn’t matter which position. Now the step is worthless, if you hit someone up and break the tackle someone who’s nowhere near you magically jumps on you so you can’t break right through, forwards have slowed right down. Backs aren’t strong enough to break irrespective of attributes too. Still all the other issues around offsides, forward passes and grubber kicks still haven’t been fixed too. Feels like there’s been some great improvements made to the game in the background such as promotion in English leagues in career mode, but the actual gameplay needs better attention now. Please though do keep up the good work on programming and updates.

New update new problem. When defending inside the 10 metre line. Defenders retreat back to the dead ball line before coming forward to defend their line. They fixed the player defenders not being back the 10 all the time and have now created this problem.

Absolutely spot on that mate. It is like if the offside of your players was not awful you can defend properly which makes AI seem basic.
So I do think that if all the bugs were fixed then the only thing left to fix is the gameplay which is harder.
Like if User can defend peoperly then AI cant dart from dummy half, you dont give pens away or yards, and then they dont make metres.
Also if the user was as reactive as the AI then could open defenses more
