Bugs and Issues Megathread

I’ve had three opportunities to make a captain’s challenge. So far, I’ve got two unsuccessful and one successful challenge.

It feels like a lottery either way, though.

My AI opponants have challenged twice and not gotten any success as yet.

I can’t get into Pro Team at all at the moment, or the past few weeks with this error. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Played the game for the first time in 3 weeks and guess what…. The player run meters not matching the team run meters is still there when you sim a game…. Hello Big Ant is anyone home? This bug was reported a month ago and still there in game, makes the game unrealistic and unplayable in career mode.

What happened to the players models recently? I don’t recall models being messed up like that, was watching a replay and this threw me off instantly. Is this happening to anyone else?

Having an issue with the intercept challenges for the ashes series in pro team.

Last night I got 2 intercepts in the one game with Mark Nawaqanitawase it even triggered the “interception” in the bottom corner like how the challenge was updated to but when I got out of the game the challenge wasn’t complete.

Then just now I got an intercept with Keaon Koloamatangi got out of the game thinking I’ve finally done it and it also wasn’t complete.

Is it an impossible challenge, has anyone else had this issue and who do I get in touch with get it fixed?

Yes, and it strange because I am no programmer but there should be AI scripts I imagine. Can’t they use the The AI scripts for attack from the ones from past league games, even RLL4 seemed to have better attacking AI. Who agrees? Have not tried the latest update, but I hope they have improved PRO level play to be like it was 8-10 patches ago, it felt a lot more free-flowing on offense and more variety of what can happen, rather then a game that is on train tracks. Even though I am a fan of Sim play, I video game even in Simulation mode must have more highlight real events, then the real sport. Frustrating part is the game was fairly good offensively at one point (not perfect) but playable. So there is a good offensive game in there.

Yeah they have not improved the game which is frustrating. I personally can not get past 0-0 draw in campaign now and turning the game off during the match its just so boring.

Its like a game that looks great, has all the players mapped, jerseys and competitions but gameplay has just nose dived.

I would feel more positive if it was fixed, even though they are not a huge company the respect to the paying customer to make a game that functions is overdue.

There is now a greater gulf between what I can do and the CPU can, which is making the game worse. I can not seem to drive them back like they do, I can not pass as late as they can, I am not as fast as them, I can not double up the tackles, I can not offload, I can not score really - make it fun again geez

Only way to play it, AI defense on Amature then when they get the ball “pause” and switch AI offense to veteran or legend depending how good you are. Really is ridiculous, how has the developers not notice this. So many complaining of the game is not fun on default pro and above defensive setting. Drop everything else and fix this! At Some point you had a decent/fun game play.

Almost feels like we’re being trolled.

I play on side camera and have found the passing ok, with just an occasional mis timing pass going astray. I like how pass can be delayed from dummy half to hit a play maker at the add line.

What elements of the passing mechanic are you finding “broken”? Are you able to describe the type of passing you are wanting to experience, for example another game with similar passing responsiveness.

My current issue is with lack of field marking choices and AI behaviours for both CPU and User teams…would be great to see CPU teams use alot more set play attacking strategy, currently reasonably easy to defend. I play on Pro level but am winning more than losing so veteran may give me the challenge I want..

Im playing in broadcast far and passes are going the wrong way coming out from my tryline and near the sideline. Simple L1 or R1 tap passes are cutting out a mile away from a simple L1 or R1 tap pass. And there’s a really annoying backwards wraparound kind of pass that looks like it shouldn’t be happening when I tap L1 or R1 to pass to next player along.

Ok I’ve done some testing on all side cameras and only Broadcast balanced and Broadcast far are broken.

I apologise for assuming it was all side cameras.

Ah..I think I know what your talking about, this also does happen in RLL4 because the reverse angle of the camera towards your team coming off the try line is not far off being front on and passes would sometimes pass over sideline?

Think also sliding defence (when defending tryline near bottom corner of screen) goes opposite way also…strange how this happens, I do find that frustrating which i was i went from broadcast views to side cam classic far. However I do like braodcast view mid field due to the realistic match perspective as on TV.

Im find ball stripping pretty easy to exeucte so hopeful sliders will give ability to tone it down…I ball stripped Josh King like 10 times in a match (Pro level) - held circle and moved left analogue towards player and thn away from player (repeated couples times if needed in the same tackle).

I have only played, maybe, 10-12 games (amateur level) since ball stripping was included, but I cannot manage to execute even one of them. Not one so far.

I’d love to know what I’m doing wrong … or, moreso, what I need to do to make it happen.

I play 60 minute games on pro and have no problem defending. Not sure what needs fixing. They do need to stop the defence line going back beyond the dead ball line though as it leaves the defender having to defend one on on. That is a must fix problem.

Luco, never mentioned defending is an issue, defending is fine/good, the AI could be more creative on offense, the problem is when we play on offense, on pro and above the game becomes boring because the creativity has been taken out of the game you get one skill move per tackle and then you are taken down every time, offensively it feels like it is on rails.

Nuke 1552, for ball stirps tapping the button works best, the last time I played, on armature could strip almost once every 5 tackles. Or get penalized if I tapped the ball strip button.

The game could be a really good game, if they find the right balance, unfortunately offensive play on pro and above had gone backwards for some reason. Sliders would be great for us to fine tune the game, if we had good sliders, we could tune the game to play how we like it. Sliders have always been great additions. For Rugby Challenge series the sliders where a game changer. Someone did some awesome sliders for Rugby league 3 , (a plug in) for steam version, and the game plays spectacular, best Rugby league game I have in my collection. But the sliders made this possible, not sure who created it but, it allows the game to be played as intended, the sliders provided a good balance for high and low tackle and the proper risk/rewards for both, this is just a small example of how game play sliders can really tune a game.

Thankyou for the suggestion of tapping the button. As it turns out, this morning I played 4 games, and in games one and three, I managed to get a ball strip in each of those two games.

I will try the tapping suggestion, as I was certainly trying to strip the ball more often than what eventuated, and I was following the button guide that says to hold the button.

Actually the defending even felt better before now there’s too many one man tackles, before particularly on the tri line you will get more assistance to take down the player now there’s players standing around instead of defending, unless I’m missing something even defending felt pretty good before and now it feels off. One player dragging another player through the 5 m without the others joining in to help in the tackle,

What is that? Before they would join we supposed to press a certain button to have them join and on the tackle can we switch to another guy and help in the tackle? So many questions.

Is anyone else having a problem since recent patch, where players start side stepping involuntarily non stop

I thought it was a slider problem but it’s even affecting regular difficulties
