Sounds quite promising for the future
Would it be fair to assume that you’d like to stabilise the gameplay code before adding this level of customisation?
I think even if we had the ability to change the lineup from the squad given to us via the team management screen rather than having to do it before every quick play, that would be a great start
There are things that are technical limitations for editing restrictions - headgear is one where we technically couldn’t give options for photogrammetry visual players, due to the way it interacts with the specific player model.
There are additionally elements that are contractual/licensing agreements, which are not always directly comparable between sports, and occasionally even between competitions.
Sometimes there are special requests we have direct from teams/players themselves that we need to respect, which we then couldn’t let users bypass by allowing certain edits to be made, and occasionally means we can’t replicate something that you see in real life.
In general, if you let us know of things like players making changes to what they do, or us missing a specific detail of a player - the team here will look into it. Sometimes it might take a bit of time for it to be updated, as we’ve got a big queue of work for a whole bunch of player updates (some of which you’ll see today), but we track all that feedback and our preference is for the game to be as correct as possible.
Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Josh Van Der Flier having red scrum caps would be top of my list please
Completely understand thank you. It would just be those mentioned and then I saw Thomas Du Toit with a scrum cap he usually doesn’t play with one other than at bath sometimes. And also I don’t know if their faces is incomplete but Kolisi and Etzebeth does not look like them other than that excellent work on the scans tnx for the update
Safe bet would be to sort gameplay out first including the AI. Then other features afterwards. Totally understandable.
Seems you can add downloaded players to licensed teams but not other licensed players…nearly there. Bit frustrating
Hi Team,
Thanks so much for listening to us all in the community to allow custom players to be added to licensed teams. For me it definitely makes the game more fun and satisfying to add any players such as emerging junior academy players or late signings or simply wanting to put your favourite player in a particular team.
Now I noticed we can’t remove any licensed players or developer created players not face scanned. This example below , San Diego Legion. I was trying to remove the Developer made Brad Wilkin with incorrect Dark Skin, hair still not updated with a face scan. I put my own creation of Wilkin with the correct skin and hair colours.
Will you allow us to remove players in the future or this can’t be done till you finish updating the game ?
For now it just means that if I start a competition or coach career I will have two versions of Brad Wilkin on my roster.
I can live with this and manage for now but I think most people would agree they would prefer to remove some players but I also noticed we don’t have a list or area to see licensed players removed from teams yet if we wanted to add those licensed players back in the team. Anyway thanks very much for the update. This makes the game more enjoyable to start any new coach careers or competitions.
Yes. The players are now in Career mode. Two examples here - Jamie Adamson, Felix Kalapu added as custom players to NSW Waratahs coach career.
Has anyone tried adding the real stadiums in for Pro D2 teams at all? I have but after exiting the game and then logging back on later they had been removed?? Not sure what that is all about.
I’ve tried too, but the changes I made ( Assigned Custom stadium “La Rabine” to Vannes and Stade des Alpes to Grenoble) doesn’t appear in carrer.
Maybe I’ll try in other modes.
We are aware of some changes not staying applied after a game reset. That will be part of an upcoming patch. While we continue to work on that area of the game.
Thanks guys, what about if I have custom trans but haven’t played game since last patch will I be ok from next update on?
Thanks BigAnt for the reply and thank you very much for the continuing support with this game. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have in store going forward.
Do to this properly like how they did in cricket 24 with licensed players we will need to be able to view the player too
The licensed players should be viewable and then we can select teams from an option like in cricket 24
This would have to be under edit players option not just manage roster I think
I sent a message to the support team to explain the same issue about wrong player appearance. I gave Zimbabwe team as exemple as some players were created with the wrong skin. As we can play with real teams, it’s important to have the correct appearance ! For the moment it seems impossible to do the changes by ourselves and I’m not sure if this will be done by the game staff.
I made some players for Namibia due to wrong skin colour , appearances and added my players to the team but this means the team has two versions of the same player ! As I can’t remove the incorrectly made ones by the developers. I dont know if the incorrect players will be corrected. I didn’t report all of them yet.
I think ideal if we can also remove players in the future. If they get updated and fixed , that’s positive but we don’t always know if they will. I understand they have a long backlog of face scans.
From memory I made the Ludick Brothers, Adrian and Ruan. Helarius Kisting, Johan Deysal. Johan Luttig. All of them wrong skin colours.
Good you reported the Zimbabwe team. I am not familiar with all the players but I thought some have now been corrected.
What a pity if we have to do all the players appearance changes for more than 130 national teams !! I hope this will be done by the team. but it will take a long time. This is very dissapointing
Hello BA team, I join the popular request to add/move/remove players. Some rosters changed (Top14 for sure, example Delpy from Toulouse to USAP) and it would be nice to do it myself instead of waiting for your roster update, because I guess you have other priority topics than some substitutes moves in France!
And we need an option to change some positions too. For example LBB is registered as Fullback and Flyhalf but not as Winger
This is still a big request and I agree it’s needed it feels like it needs a bigger update from the team to make it happen
I hope it can be done
Hello BigAnt team, I escalate this request because it is still a huge issue for a lot of players.
Rosters are not up to date, it is quite annoying to play matchs/start careers with a different roster than the same match IRL. (Nonu back to Toulon, Reus left La Rochelle, etc)
And we definitely need to update players positions. A lot of them are unrealistic/irrelevant. As already quoted before, the best scoring winger in the last 6 Nations is not able to play winger in the game…
