Launch (EA1) Patch 3 Notes

Overall it seems that there has been some good progress with how the game flows but still think there is a little way to go. Some things I have found.

Scrum half picking and going
Still not as free flowing as I would like particularly if there is a break by a player then there should really be a gap and an opportunity for the scrum half to pick and go. Currently they run through the ruck and then back and then try to make a break.

Kicking Positions
This is my main point really, I would really like there to be a dedicated button for getting the 10 or 15 to stand in the pocket to kick the ball away. Currently it seems very random over who the ball gets passed to and there is no dedicated button to reposition so you could be trying to kick the ball out with your flanker who is very flat. It is quite annoying.

I also feel the kicking needs a little more time like in rugby challenge where it goes into slow mo before punting. Also drop goals do need higher trajectories.

Scrums
Still unable to win a scrum which is very frustrating - so far a scrum is always resulting in me losing the ball regardless if I put the ball in or not.

Referees
The referees arms when blowing the whistle do not seem to move which I feel is definitely something that should be brought in. Also the TMO seems to be a little odd as it goes to TMO for a try but when you press A to move on it just skips to kicking a conversion so i’m assuming the try was allowed but nothing was said to confirm it.

While we are on the subject of referees is there any chance they could have actual world rugby referee kit on in the game.
