Only noticed it the other day on carrer mode.
I played a few games a few days ago, and bugger me, they have crowd figures! Never seen them before. Nice touch, though.
Just smashed the Seagulls 18 tries 7.
PS5 30 minute halves pro mode.
This game is way too easy now to get big scores. Played 6 lost 1. Ave for almost 55 Against 40.
After 6 games the majority of tries scored against me probably 70% plus are drop down in goal tries because you can almost never get defenders in goal to help out their mate. Maybe like in rugby they should add a button to get more defenders into the tackle like they get more to a ruck. For me maybe 15% are drop down because the AI gets more than 1 into the tackle.
Found a couple of easy ways to get more ball. Short kickoff to your fastest winger or centre works 90% of the time no worries or on the last kick the ball directly into a defender you get it back for a 7 tackle set around 80% of the time. Also when you feed a scrum there is a massive gap to run through on the open side if your player is fast enough.
Nice that the defenders don’t retreat beyond the dead ball line now they just stand around watching tries get scored unfortunately.
Still way too many stupid plays around the play the ball that need attention.
Blatent offsides not getting picked up.
The player renditions take on unhuman characteristics during flexes after tries which is disturbing and realistically unprofessional from a company that specialises in sports games.
On the editor side. When you create a stadium you don’t get the crowd standing watching in areas where there are no seats. No team jerseys on fans. Dragons supporters in pink shirts. Not a Red V in the crowd. Still no hill creator.
Jersey editor still doesn’t have the options it’s predecessor had. You can’t pick an official jersey for your created team. The colours you use to create don’t transition into the game like the old creators. Whites are definitely not white as an example.
Still can’t use custom match type in a custom comp. Custom difficulties are useless and don’t work. Still can only have 16 teams in a custom comp. Jerseys don’t get wet they just get more dirty on wet days and fields don’t look like rain is affecting them like older versions.
The game was getting better again play wise 2 updates ago and now is going backwards again. The next 6 games i play i am going to play in veteran to see if that lowers the amount of tries and stiffens up the defence.
Round 1 Dragons 44 Tigers 34
Round 2 Dragons 50 Raiders 32
Round 3 Dogs 58 Dragons 40
Round 4 Dragons 36 Sharks 24
Round 5 Dragons 58 Chooks 52
Round 6 Dragons 100 Seagulls 42
Play around with the sliders. They will help fix a lot of your problems with gameplay difficulty balance.
Any time you play a quick match with non official roster it reverts back to original roster after.
Thanks Radman, if you get a chance can you post a picture of your settings. Any slider that increases the chances of more defenders getting involved in the tackle instead of standing around, particularly on the try line? In early renditions of the game this seemed to work much better, the 1 on 1 struggle over the try line while defenders stand around and watch is particularly annoying on defense and unsatisfying on offense when scoring. In past versions of the game the second and third defender would get involved to help make the tackle and hold up the ball. This felt more realistic, instead of the defenders just standing around. It felt like in early versions holding the left shoulder button would help getting a second defender involved. Not sure if the latest patch reflects this. Will go try.
game keeps crashing when trying to enter a proteam coach battles game
Has anyone else noticed that your team’s wingers don’t tend to drop back on the last tackle anymore, or have I somehow bumped a button that changed this setting?

They have stuffed this up with the update. Playing a 70 minute game pro mode with the new rosters 7 sets into the game there has already been 19 missed tackles and you can no longer get a quick pass away from dummy half. Hopefully there is another update sorting this out today. Just another 1 step forward 2 steps back. Still can’t play a 17 team custom comp. This is the biggest let down since the game was released.

Still can’t make decent sized logos? Still no answer as to why?

In career mode, I’m unable to quick play the ball anywhere but the ai can? It’s very frustrating and needs to be fixed!! And on 5th tackle, wingers aren’t dropping back automatically. Lastly, the dummy half still makes bugs like not picking up the ball and the other team gathering it

Yes it has definitely gone backwards
Have other PS5 users got this issue? The pass icons above the player’s heads, when you hold down L/R1 are tiny. Especially compared to other players I’ve seen on PC or Xbox on YouTube. I tried sending a screenshot to big ant but it’s kinda hard to play one handed while taking the pic!
Yeah the markers are too small I reckon.
Don’t understand how they released the patch notes on X saying there are new 2026 kits when Wigan and Hull FC/KR all have last year’s kits, there may be others I haven’t spotted yet too.
Not sure if its a new addition or not, but I had the same issue and saw a new ‘quick play the ball’ option in the controller settings. For PS5, you double tap the L2 button and they play the ball quicker.
Hey I was just playing some quick play games and wanted to play at Mudgee as I’ve played it before in the management mode.
Then I came to realise that it is only available in management mode could this please be fixed.
I also noticed its is the same with polytec stadium is available in management but not quick play.
Another update this morning but no explanation about what’s been fixed or changed!
Does anyone else get an issue where you set the difficulty to custom in career mode, but in game it goes to rookie?
