When it comes to the updates, especially fast ones like this. It comes down to a matter of “when it’s ready” situation. Final touches are being put on it when that gets double-checked it will go out as quickly as possible, won’t be soon enough to refresh Steam over and over, but we’ll update here as soon as we know when it’s going out.

I reckon we need these controls for the ruck.

A- to seal the ruck  
Y- to clear out a ruck  
X- to jackal a ruck  
B- line up players for box kick

Hi everyone, first time commenting.

Apart from every very useful suggestion i’ve seen here so far, I would just like to add a few of my own. What I would like to see is some effort into making the game feel more immersive.

- Commentary: I would like to see the commentary become a little more than just a few lines being repeated over and over, I am not sure what the constraints are with this and perhaps there’s a good reason why, but if possible, I almost want to say that it must feel like the commentators are watching my game live, you know?

If I need to kick the last penalty or a conversion of the game and this kick will determine whether I win or lose, I want to feel the pressure. The commentators need to be as tense as I am, perhaps add a heartbeat depending on the significance of the kick?

Another thing that i’d like to suggest is live tracking of my team’s performance in a tournament or season. Perhaps pre and post match interviews and comments by a panel of pundits? If I was playing Super Rugby and I lost the first 3 or 4 games of the season, my team needs to win all their games from there and I wanna feel it.

I like the training feature you put in the career mode of the cricket game, maybe add something between matches for my team to go through training drills depending on what they need to work on?

I saw on a video a match being simulated with the EA, when a lineout was called it immediately cut to the hooker standing ready to throw, maybe add some cutscenes between these like players walking or jogging up to the lineout or scrum and discussing a strategy?

Maybe add a proper build-up to a match, again like a pre match discussion between pundits and announcement of teams, maybe a look into the locker room with the teams having a few last words before going into the tunnel.

I really like the suggestion that’s been made of being able to choose how packed your stadium can be depending on the teams played, obviously a match between two small clubs won’t be as packed as a match between Munster and Leinster? And please, the crowd can not all be wearing random clothes to a match between the Springboks and All Blacks, they need to be wearing green and black with some flags in between.

I don’t know if this is too much to ask, but those are my suggestions for now, thank you

Also one other thing i noticed is that players don’t feel like they’re position, so like flanks are running as fast as wingers and props don’t feel heavy and bulky. So it would be nice for these to all be realistic to positions if that makes sense

I don’t know how patches work, if they have to update it to steam, how does that process work?

Perhaps they loading the stuff but it takes time, I don’t know.

</div>

As admin made it sound earlier it’s more if the devs are happy with the update and think it’s ready to go than it will happen, so there probably been issues that they are not happy to send it out today

So looking good. One last test and if that’s all good it will go out tonight. If there are any issues we may have to push it back a little until we can make sure it’s stable. Any updates I hear I’ll pass on.

Patch will be out soon.

Notes as above but also added;

- Improved ruck join speed  
Attacking players will join the ruck faster.

I think there will be a separate thread for responses to the patch. @JNT_BA ?

It takes time to put them into the game, also they gotta finish editing the scanned players faces

That was definitely our hope - but it’s taking longer to make the heads and get approvals.
