Bugs and Issues Megathread

The passing on this game is atrocious, it’s what made league live 4 annoying, I thought they said it would be like league live 3 passing but more updated and realistic? They need to fix this

They need to have team sheets of your side and opponent side running out like a real life nrl game and they’ve had that on every rugby league title ever so again, taking things away that work?

The potential is there for this game, I got hope they will fix all these kinds of things

Also i have seen no one mention the Foresight option on the D-pad not working..i presume it will colour code the opposition players fatigue like it did in RLL4..foresight was on the options earlier although didnt work, but after the patch it has vanished from the D pad option

I don’t understand why they’ve reskinned rugby league live 4 gameplay when that gameplay was not a fun experience? They’ve just made a rugby union game not long ago from the ground up with up to date new and more realistic gameplay and animations? Why would you not use the basic passing, sidesteps, fending, and some tackling animations from that game and build it from there? Giving us a completely new experience for rugby league gaming - big ant please, this needs to fixed, I’m not sure what you guys were thinking releasing this , going to lose a lot of credibility and fans doing this
You said you’ve sold 6 times the amount of any other title but it seems like this is the one you’ve put least work into? It makes zero sense to me

Its back on now and Pro teams is being fixed over night, they are trying hard to fix as much as they can, I would say with the amount of sales if they want to continue to make money from the in game credits they will listen to all of us and patch what needs to be patched with an update next month

  • anytime I get into a game I can’t select any teams or leagues I am stuck on the first team it shows me

  • switching player in game where as I go to change to a different player by moving my left joystick left or right while holding L1 as soon as I take my finger off L1 it instantly switches back to the previous player

  • after the update my game is unplayable still can’t see or pick other teams or leagues then it just crashes

please fix steam it is so buggy

I don’t know if this is a bug so much but definitely an issue, the AI doesn’t seem to use their bench in any games I’ve played.

Finally got to play my first match this morning, seeing that it took 2hrs to download on PS4 and then 3hrs to install.

Obviously want to give feedback that helps because after 10ish or so years we deserve a great game, but if this one fails I doubt we will ever see another…unless IRL can do a deal with EA.

First findings;

  • All the menu screens and writing is way too small, feel sorry for anyone playing on a smallish screen, no need for it! So much space!

  • Why is first playmaker set as 5/8 and 2nd as half back? Needs to be other way around.

-Commentators mention during run on “Friday Night Footy”, the game is clearly a daytime match.

-Penalty kick to touch, commentators say “he has thrown it over the line to no one”?

-Opposition knocked on in front of try line, I picked up but was tackled back in goal, ref called knock on no advantage, but gameplay still went to me doing a drop out?

-Personal feel that the camera should stay behind the controllers team in both attack and defence. If not, adjust the controls for perspective, I pressed to make my team to slide left, they all slide right, controllers need to be from camera perspective, not mirror.

Really clunky and disappointing launch, something I’d been looking forward to for a long time was really unenjoyable. I would have preferred the CEO come out and say “It’s not ready, postponing for 12months” and then present a fantastic product that lives up to the hype. There should have been a shitload more beta testing with a larger group, instead now they will be forever playing catch-up to correct it.

The controller has NO vibration whatsoever. I play on PS5. Vibration settings are on, not once have felt it

So there was an update overnight but there is still the issue of a lot of players being listed as fullbacks when they aren’t. The players out of position thread seems to have been deleted too.

Im enjoying the career player mode as a prop. There are little things that I hope will be fixed up in patches. The one issue I have is in attack knowing where to be in the set play/shape. By the time i find my position the ball has been played. It would be awesome if there was assisted movement after the tackle in offence, similar to when assisted movement puts you on side in the line in defence

[PS5 PRO] When defending, player switching across the line nearly always goes back to the ruck after you’ve chosen a player to control, it’s extremely hard to to select a player defending away from the ruck at the play the ball.
And why are Wakefield the lowest rated Super League team? And is it possible to get some soundbites of the clubs fans singing? “Wigan, Wigan, Wigan” etc, etc.

For whatever reason there’s some serious bugs with career mode, I don’t know if it’s the mode itself or the entire game, BUT I have realised that every time you tackle a Ai out of the field of play, You run out/Ai runs out/Ball kicked out on the full, it automatically makes you/ai play the ball at the 50M line rather then at where the error occurred, sorry for the late response wanted to wait until after the update to see if it’d get fixed though still haven’t, tried this out in multiple different career mode saves (old and new)

Hi Team,

Will Warrington Women be updated in the future for Womens Super League ?

All female players In the team appear to have the same generic appearance and no names match to the real life team for anyone.

Hey Big Ant,
Love your new game but I just came across a few problems and I’m only telling you guys to help you guys not criticise. First of all, I got taken out near the opponents try line but I did not go dead in goal and they had a 20 m restart. And they also only got a 6 tackle set not 7. Another problem was when I kicked it on the full they got the ball on the 50 and not where I kicked it from and that happened too when I kicked a 20/40 and it didn’t register as one. I also took a player over the sideline on their 10m line and got the ball at halfway. And there was a few little other problems like tackling them and your player woukd fly through them and very obvious forward passes. Thank you

Any update on when pro team will actually be available? Been down for maintenance since I purchased the game.

High tackles from the user controlled team happen way too often! I’m so sick and tired of having 3+ players suspend every game yet it feels like the AI commit bugger all penalties.

There’s a bug with career mode and playing 3 player on the same team, lets you connect the controller but you can’t move it to to choose team.

Some things I’d like fixed in rugby league 26

Forwards Kicking: Lower the forwards kicking stats - forwards shouldn’t be having 75 kicking

Interchanges: In career mode, there is unlimited interchanges and no way to fix it

Stats: There should be a better way to show the players stats. Also to have an option to view in game stats including MOTM, and the players career length stats in games, tries and the career path - Like the NRL Website

Ratings and Positions: They have to fix a few players ratings and positions like Jacob Host (85 overall) Jackson Hastings (89 overall) and positions like Liam Le Blanc’s position, Euan Aitkens position, Kaeon Kolomatangi’s position.

Wingers: Make wingers faster, and for attacking a spread, make the defending wingers rush out sometimes to put pressure on the ball carrier.

Hookers: Get the hooker to the play the fall faster. I know its been fixed but it still needs to be faster

Outside Backs: When coming out of your own end, there should be an option to let the outside backs take hit ups to give the tired forwards a break

Energy Bar: Make the energy bar more visible, so it’s easier to tell when a player is tired - a suggestion is to have the players energy percentage shown under the players name along with the bar.

Tired players requesting to come off: I would love to see a feature when a tired player requests to come off the field and you can put a fresh player on

Player’s salary in career mode: Some players are ok but most players although worth 600 or 700k, their expected wage is something like 150 thousand. That needs to be fixed

Defence: Make defence easier - I’m ending up with games with 10 minute halves with scores like 36 to 40, its unrealistic.

Slow Players Down: Almost all players are way too fast, slow them down

Support players: When you make a linebreak, there is hardly ever any support players, there should be a support player on either the inside or the outside to draw in the fullback and pass to when a linebreak is made

Reserves: There should be an 18th man on the reserves if there is an injury, like there is in real life

Increased Injuries: I know you can make injuries more common in career mode, but there still isn’t enough injuries in the game

Concussions: Make concussions common and make them go off for a HIA

Career Mode Trial Games: Make it so you can have a 25 man bench in trial games, as it is in real life

Youth Systems: Get the NSW Cup in the game along with the mal meninga cup and the jersey flegg in the game, even if it means having fake player visuals

Correct player numbers: Have the 2 and 5 swapped, 3 and 4 swapped, 6 and 7 swapped, 8 and 10 swapped and the 11 and 12 swapped

Kayo Stadium is listed as “Kayo Stadium, Sydney, Australia” instead of “Kayo Stadium, Brisbane, Australia”

The PS5 vibration isn’t working, I think that’s something to look into
