Early Access 6 (EA6)

That’s a question they will not answer think there is a lot off stuff they are nda with nacon for this game

Thanks for the continued work on the project, keep it up!

Edit: does Big Ant know if they will be scanning any of the South African franchises?

Something I’m noticing a bit more now with the game getting more fleshed out is the lack of momentum in some contacts, if I have say Kolisi running into a player the size of cam winnet at speed I expect to see a fair bit of distance gained in the contact think this is more important now with the pods getting added in, often when we get a tackle the momentum hits a dead stop but this isn’t often the case. Also don’t think some of the league style tackles still being in the game is helping with this, just takes out some of the satisfaction of rugby seeing those big hit

I’m sure we will see improvements to this, you guys have done a great job through EA so far !

Why we can play in Dublin stadium and Johannesburg stadium in the URC championship but they aren t available in the stadium list ?

What was the mini 20mb patch today ?

If there is a patch without notes. Usually means stability or sponsor updates.

Hope they will fixe it

New patch, same problems.

Crashes

Glitches

50m bullet passes

Defensive ai and positioning has got even worse

No flow to attacking play

No rules

No depth to any of the phases of the game. Rucks line outs scrum mauls open play dull as dishwater

Recent work on body types run animations lighting and textures is good.

See you all in a month to check what the next major patch brings

Consider allowing quick online game search to run in background like rugby 22.

So new experience tonight. I managed to put in some awful tackles. Must be new animations as not managed so much dangerous play before. Not on purpose, I hasten to add, just poor timing on my part. Anyway the second time I got warned by the ref which was something I’ve not seen before. The third time he issued a yellow card which is the first card I’ve seen. I forgot to actually count if anyone was taken off the pitch though sadly. Also graphics wise there was no indicator of there being a yellow card / sin bin count down or anything. Would be really cool to have this in as the game develops.

First time playing properly in a few months!

Gameplay has made some huge improvements since the start of early access, love seeing all the work and effort being put into the game.

Content additions are fantastic as well, such as all the academy features, online play, new competitions etc.

Haven’t had any major bugs, only thing is penalties are very hit and miss at the moment. One will be a high tackle and a few phases later the same tackle animation will play but won’t be pulled up for a penalty.
Had this funny 1 person lifting 2 players glitch today:

Appreciate the work Big Ant! Waiting patiently for set-plays and Super Rugby.

Hello Big Aunty,

just a quick feedback on latest patch, V1.0.1630, my game doesn’t crash on halftime anymore. Yahee !!
Overall feels kinda nice in attack at times, mostly because AI defense seems to be getting dumber, often staying too close to rucks and leaving huge spaces on wings. Still some bugs when passing but a lot less.
I noticed that when trying to fix and pass, for example outside center aiming for last defender and passing before contact to the winger, the support runner runs towards the passer rather than keeping his lane and hitting a great run. Sure, I’d love him to only close the gap on contact, either to collect the offload or to be first in the ruck, but he needs to keep his lane before that cause he’s got wide open space before him.
In rucks, players stand still before the ruck before entering it.
My Lineouts always have 8 players whatever button i press. Mauls kinda work but still messy.
Defense of course needs more work, rucks obviously, still too many league tackles.

Still a lot of things not working great but to be honest i’ve quite enjoyed my last game and that was a first since day one. Attack feels kinda nice even though there’s still a lot of room for improvement so i can’t wait for next patch to see how new things or just better things will work all together .
Great work guys, thanks

Cheers

In some instances from the one side of the field 50/22 kicks don’t work and kick directly into touch within your own 22 and not taken back results in line out from where it was kicked from.

the posts are blurred during transformations when there is no real reason for it to be, feels like it’s more desturbing than anything.

Apologies if these have already been picked up. Just a few little things, not going to talk about the mkre obvious stuff.

Been playing english premiership in the competition mode as random teams in random stadiums and seem to have some recuring bugs.

  1. Player cards when scoring being incorrect. Seems to get stuck reshowing the same card over and over for trys and conversions.
  2. Kicks to touch. A few different bugs, kicking directly to touch from 22 sometimes gets called back (breakdown deffinately within the 22). Also had a few instances where the wrong team is awarded a lineout. Theres also a random bug where the whistle will continuously blast for 5 minutes or so, even after carrying on play. Had one occurance where a player caught the ball in touch, the commentry suggest it was in touch but play carried on.
  3. Being tackled over the try line. A few things, tmos always say held up, regardless of what the ball is actually doing. And some tackles on the line, the ball being placed backwards will also call for a dropout.
  4. Had some penalties for high tackles, i know penalties are not fully added yet so im not sure if this is relevent yet, but the ai when kicking for touch dont seem to understand what they are actually supposed to do. Sometimes not even attempting to kick to touch, sometimes kicking real short.
  5. Commentry calling names of players not on the field (or even in the game) ardie savea being one. Making some huge tackles for saracens apparently.

Some good stuff going on tho. Enjoying it.

Anyone having problems with custom teams ?

I can’t even get through 10 mins of match time on the clock without the ball stuck in the ruck.

Played twice. Same issue.
