Gameplay is still very poor, and seems every time an update makes the game fun it gets changed. Fundamentally the base line control of players and the players AI is poor.
When making a break the support seems to over take the ball carrier, or are not there at all. Fix the support lines and will mean can either pass to someone rather than hitting opposition head.
CPU tackles gone to the old ways with them dominating most, slowing the play down to painfully slow. Fix the CPU tackles to have similar outcomes to yours.
Possibly linked to No1 but when passing across the line my players either change lines late making it a mess or run back against the ball. Just makes it a mess to predict or plan any meaningful attack.
Finesse movements need to be better so can control in tight space. I can press pass with literally 10m between attack and defence with my player already stuck in a big hit animation. Somehow need to make animations more reactive. Same for any movements need to strafe or similar to make more variation in attack
I had a moment on the weekend (I’m limited in my opportunities to play games these days) where I stripped the ball off a defender who was over the tryline (which, technically correctly was called a 2:1 strip penalty). The player tapped the ball on that spot, which was 30cm BEHIND my defensive line that was standing on the tryline. He tapped it then scored all while my players had their backs to him.
I was up by plenty, so didn’t affect the game, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone else had bad happen to them too.
I can’t seem to add photos / images to my posts anymore, but I have a photo of my incident.
Now that you mention it, yeah, once or twice yesterday I noticed a player in my team really looked lethargic. Didn’t think anything more of it until I read your post!
The referees have blank kits. We’ve got NRL markings and no touchline sponsors.
Warrington’s home kit has a big white collar, that’s on the fan version but not the player one. The shirt sponsor is white in the game, black in real life.
St Helens stadium has the old name (It’s the Brewdog Stadium now).
Bradford and York still have Championship patches on their sleeves.
Even a bare pitch would be preferable as most weeks that’s actually the case in league games.
Since we’re talking about incorrect shorts, I’m pretty sure I’ve noticed that St.George-Illawarra’s Vegas shorts aren’t the red dragon emblem that they were in real life. In this game, they’ve used the Dragons’ standard home shorts for the Vegas kit.
Any time I’ve looked at the highlights of a game, it’s usually one big tackle, a ball strip, and maybe the last 3 seconds of a try being scored (the grounding part). That’s it. I’ve had a game where I’ve scored plenty of tries, some pretty spectacular ones off kicks, and a good team try involving offloads, a cut-out pass into a player hitting the gap, ect, and the ‘highlights’ reel at the end of the game were the ones I described at the top of this post: a big hit, a ball strip, and the dive over the line portion of the fantastic team try (ie: the least exciting moment of the whole movement!).
You’re not missing too much if you can’t access your games’ highlights..!
we need more collars and better stitching e.g. The stitching that goes across the collar bone. and better customizing. i always struggle to put the logos in the right spot on the custom jerseys
