Yep, the same thing is happening to me.

after the recent update my level is back down to 0 anyone else?
Cool it’s not just me
YESS!!! Whenever I go to edit a players skill by pressing L2/R2 my game says there’s an error and it closes itself, so I have to reopen it again and again

Is it just me or has this game gone backwards? Maybe 4 updates ago it was pretty solid & was enjoying it quite a lot, but feels so out of control now. For example, grubbers too long now, the dogs breakfast at dummy half, no longer support runners in position to receive passes & of course the bugs with player skills & logo’s disappearing from shared teams/jerseys.

Still lots of room for improvement.
Some issues found this morning while playing.
- Markers not being square is not as bad but still an issue.
- Dummy half waiting a few seconds before picking the ball up.
- Had CPU play the ball close to my line and my defender pick the ball up and run
- defensive line spacing for scrum restarts leaves big gaps for an open run at the try line or up field.
- Warping tacklers still an issue
- Sometimes the goal line defense drops back to the dead ball line before adjusting to the goal line.

I agree - there is virtually no point, even in Amateur difficulty level, of passing the ball out wide as the defenders always rush up…then tackle the centres and wingers as soon as they catch the ball = grrrrr!

Online, short kick offs are killing the game, the game now feels slow, I was playing in veteran and now can barley score on amateur, when held you tackle over the try line and it goes to the 10 to play the ball, there a huge cap in the defence line and also defence is to slow to get back on side, people scoot from dummy and get easy 10/20 mtrs.

agree with scoot cheese but playing the AI that’s what they do so people learn that from the game

Anyone else noticed that the objectives in career mode dosnt register. Been having this for days.
Noticed as well that kicking a 20/40 and 40/20 the ball bounces in field more or loses alot of momentum conveiniently quickly more so than before.

this happens to me every game (prem challenge) also happens after someone kicks it out and i get the ball and either after a hand over cannot control the players just run’s straight out. 
latest update has really unsettled fluid of play;
- dummy half delay with picking up ball and passing quite frequent.
- trying to execute set play after pressing pass 3-4 times and dummy half still not passing on some occasions, overall due to dummy half issues hard to run set play options with decoy runners involved.
- grubber power over the top (need ability to “power up” grubber by preessing in button longer etc..
- Get AI to actually run set plays against user controlled teams based on user defence and field position.
- tryiline defence and players retreat to dead ball (already mentioned by others)

Don’t suppose you’ve had any issues getting trophies at all? I’m trying to get the platinum on ps5 as pile them high, golden boot, try try try and terminally online haven’t popped for me despite being definitely meeting the thresholds for the trophies.
Personally I dont play for the trophies, I am more interested in gameplay being balanced right for each respective difficulty. I have many ideas which has been submitted in a concept document that I feel will go along way to what my vision for the game should be whilst still acknowledging everyone wants different things and experiences… I really enjoy AFL26 sense of contest and reward when pulling off a play so soemthing similar in RL26 I would like to see transposed. Hope the trophy thing gets sorted for you just the same.

I’ve had this happen a few times was playing against cpu and on last tackle the player who was kicking the ball kicked it towards their own in goal
When your opponent leaves the game in premiership challenge you lose points for quitting deduction
Also still feels like the game forces you to lose a game after a good run of wins giving away high tackles, no players onside, random dropped balls and running plays incorrectly constantly after a few wins in a row
Calls go the wrong way a lot of the time especially with knock ons the team who does it gets the ball back

Game has gone so bad I swear, was much better 3-5 updates ago, Big Ant just won’t listen to their audience and this game was so not worth the wait, they need a really big update and work on everything they just did to it to make the game even worse because the game just has no joy in it, starting to become a joke. I’m not saying this out of hate, im saying this because I’ve been raging out on this game for the past two weeks. MAKE YOUR GAME BETTER BRO, THIS HAS GONE SO BORING!!!

Just downloaded the new update. Played a short game to see any changes in pro mode.
Still have the problem where the defensive line moves beyong the dead ball line before defending the try line.
The CPU threw 5 forward passes in 6 sets they played.
Still can’t use created match type. It just reverts to the NRL rules no matter what changes you have made.
Still no ability to have at a minimum a 17 team custom comp. A 20 team would be nice.
Good news. Referee calls the tackle count now and the CPU names are on display when you are defending. Thanks for listening guys.
Not sure if we have rain back in the game though. No unusual extra bugs but i only played a 10 minute game will now play an 80 minute set to wet to see if this update has taken more forward steps than backward ones🙂
Update. Results at halftime
Stats look pretty decent.
Bugs apart from what is already listed.
On one set when the Tigers had the ball they kicked on the 4th directly into one of their own players in an offside position. The ball went about 10 metres back towards their own goal line was picked up by Bula and play continued. On the last tackle they kicked directly into Bula playing the ball they picked it up were tackled and it was a handover. No penalty for either kick being into a player in an offside position.
No rain but the players were muddied up a fair bit.
Still a bit of work to do by the look of it.
Fulltime
Way too many forward passes from the CPU and way too many of those silly play the ball things where the cpu dummy half just stares at the ball that has rolled behind him for a second or so before picking it up.
Anyway it was a decent game and would have been better if it had less errors.
Still giving the player of the match to the hooker and again to the losing team. Not sure how they work that out but if part of the criteria is to give points for how many passes you do then the dummy halves will be the only ones ever to get it. Yet to see another position get it even in a game i played where 1 player scored 4 tries and set up 2. I think they should look at that.

Just to be clear I have no involvement in development of the game, Im just a passionate fan like yourself. I have reverted back to playing RLL4 until patch fixes the negative things I have of the game and trying to emulate things how I play RL26. The Bigant team will get there, unfortunately as they introduce fixes that may require repealing functionality back to a previous build in order to implement the change…then the building up starts again, as I understand it. There is still work to do for core gameplay, features and content just hoping it gets sorted before the next installment is due to be developed…or is RL26 a living build that will be foundational for the next one…
