I’m 100 % convinced they don’t play the game after updates if they did all these bugs wouldn’t be happening.
Where’s the quality control?

It’s worse kick offs, every play of the ball and drop outs people now all over the place. Unplayable
I had an interesting situation in my last game. My winger made a break down the right side of the field. Approaching the fullback, he put a chip over the top. Of course he’s tackled after the kick (and as usual, no penalty, which is unlike real life), but my fullback was trailing close enough by to chase through for the ball. A race between him and one of the defenders. Ball bounces in the in-goal and my fullback gets his nose in front. I’m madly pressing the ‘dive to score’ button, but instead, my player decides to shadow the ball over the deadball line, only taking possession once it’s gone over.
But, as we all know, if the opposition put a kick in towards the sideline, that same player will attack the ball and run it over the line, giving the opposition the ball back.
Another little quirk of the game.
What has happened to this game in the last week or so it’s never ending the bugs 
■ Instead of Faalogo picking up the ball with his hands like a normal person he decides to knee it over the sideline and then over the deadball line lol.
■ On kick off I kicked the ball, the game stopped all my players decided to lineup on the halfway line in a bunch and the game resumed haha.
■ Another kick off I kicked it and an AI player came running to near my halfway line by himself lol
I can’t anymore I’ve never seen these 3 bugs before it’s quite comical seeing new bugs every single update and nothing ever gets fixed.
Every drop out the ai just all run forward needs to be fixed asap
Noticed a new one over the past few days. Opposition get a penalty inside your 10, your defensive line stands on the deadball line in goal, luckily they always seem to pass so you can move up in time and tackle but still looks silly.
They need to update player visuals again and Rosters its stupid and so unrealistic

A bit of a funny one..A.I were 4 points down 16-12 with 1.5 mins remaining in the match, they get a penalty right in front 10m out. What do they decide to do? well they go for the penalty kick of course and get themselves within 2 points to end the game lol …felt like a hollow victory that one

For some reason I can’t seem to be able to upload images here anymore.
I had a frustrating moment in a game this evening. I kicked the ball downfield attempting a 40/20. Despite the angle the ball was being kicked from, as soon as it bounced, it ran parrallel to the sideline towards the tryline. Okay, no problem. My fastest player was charging towards it, leading the race. By the time he would have got there, a simple pickup and score or a dive to collect the ball and slide over would have resulted in a try. However 10m from the ball, my player stopped running (despite me being in control of him), and the opposition player 10m behind him raced past, collected the ball, avoided the tackle, stepped out of two more tackles, and ran upfield to eventually be tackled on my 30m line. They scored off the next play.
What am I meant to do here? I had done everything right, and it would have been a fantastic try … but the game put my brakes on. Thankfully I still went on to win the game.

Latest update is really good, ironed out most of the issues. Please bigant don’t tweak it anymore.
Aye I’ve scored some lovely tries already with support play. And I’m not getting rattled with big hits every other tackle either.
A year or so it’s been out for and they still haven’t fixed the most basic substitution issue only subs 1 and 2 or 1 and 4 are used anyone with half a brain who plays a game can see the problem, a complete waste of time having a bench they’re obviously ignoring it on purpose or they don’t care.

Are you playing on console? and what game format? On PC the subs work perfectly, all 4 for me.
Play on the PS4, how long have you been playing it and noticed all subs are used?
I have 187hrs, and the subs have always worked for me. Can you not select some of the subs? For me you can even switch positions of the players currently on the field, not just subs. Mind you I have always done manual subs, not sure about automatic subs.
I mean the AI, it will only choose whoever is in spot 1 and 2 or spots 1 and 4 to come on. Subs 3 and sometimes sub 2 dont get selected by the AI.

ohh ok yeh I have never taken notice of what the AI have done with their team. I guess that’s still an issue they havn’t sorted.

General question here regarding the bench. I find that when one of my players gets injured, the player coming on is automatically chosen by the AI, regardless if it’s a centre, hooker, prop, whoever, that’s coming off.
Is there a way to select your own replacement for an injured player?
I only ever play against the AI, never against other users … if that helps with anyone who can answer..!
Anyone else notice now when you play the ball everyone just running everywhere and over running the ball also the plays change last minute before you pick it up from hooker so everyone is running everywhere
Yes, the AI attacks the line before the play of ball and there are some last second positional changes depending on how you are playing the ball.
