I think the only hope this rugby game has is some sort of No Man’s Sky situation where they continue to patch it for 5-10 years.
If so, I’m sure it’ll follow the current pattern of: (using punt kicking as an example)…
Hear about issues
Ignore for 4 patches
Accumulate more complaints
Have first go at patching it but obsess about something not complained about much (like the arc)
Introduce other issues like laggy jankiness
Fix laggy jankiness
Wonder why people still want it fixed
Ignore for next four patches
Accumulate yet more complaints
Have next go. This time focus on speed & control of reticle or how it works for side-cam.
Introduce more jankiness, maybe even a glitch or two
Next patch fix that again
Introduce less frequent patching to “get things done”
Accumulate your third lot of complaints about distance
Receive several comments that the League game has better down field range.
Go silent and/or busy. Appear to ignore at any rate
Laugh with Valhalla or Bapean.
Introduce less frequent patching to “get things done”.
Eventually hope a random bug gets introduced that somehow stops the flyhalf moving forward and also extends kicking range.
Pat yourself on the back.
After re-reading this, I realize I’ve been too hard on Hello Games with No Man’s Sky. They inched forward, fairly slowly, but most times forward.
Big Ant have been amazing with Rugby League, but the Rugby team have gone backwards almost as many times as they’ve moved forward.
