Thanks for the answer mate.
Yeah I understand adding a new comp to the career might be tricky.
Maybe being able to switch all teams from Polish Ekstraliga (for example) by created teams from Japan Rugby League 1 could be something possible and easier to be implemented, while
keeping the same schedule of the Ekstraliga?
Also, could be cool to have the possibilty to replace the unlicensed logos in this tab by logos available in the Community. Is it something complicated to be implemented atm ?
I had an AI player run through the goal area totally and not ground the ball which was first time I saw that glitch tonight
Hi Big Ant,
I was pondering how to try and make difficulty better without a just the fend and thought of this. I know things are likely set for how the tackle area is implemented in this game now, but maybe something that could be considered for future versions.
Proposal: Dynamic Tackle/Evasion System for Enhanced Skill-Based Gameplay
Core Mechanic: Implement a rock-paper-scissors counter system for tackle/evasion interactions to reduce repetitive “fend spam” and add strategic depth.
Controls & Interactions:
Tackle Types (Defense):
Evasion Moves (Attack, Right Stick):
Design Intent:
Difficulty Scaling:
Benefits:
Optional: Test alternative counter-logic permutations during prototyping (e.g., tweaking priority hierarchy) to optimize feel.
I am sure even getting the shoulder and bump to work in this version would be an improvement. Although I have not seen a bump in months. Maybe has been canned?
One of the best points made here recently!
This would also bring in more penalties for high tackles when risking too much, and therefore more yellow cards, which is something we have all asked for.
Hi Everyone
Just a small thing I was thinking about last night as I was playing. The Kickoff seems a bit bare, there’s a nice entrance of the 2 teams running onto the field and the next moment you just watching the kicker kick the ball off. No whistle even, maybe add a countdown from the crowd along with a screen in the shot to show the countdown and the whistle to signal the start of the match along with an approving roar from the crowd?
Most matches I watch IRL start like that.
Just a suggestion though.
Thank you
Played career last night, and played a final, Boks vs Fiji. must say, very nice surprise when the teams took the field and lined up for the national anthems. first time i experienced it, nice touch. now maybe add the Haka to the all blacks team?
I noticed last night the cpu kicking for corner only trailing by 4 points
I think the cpu needs to kick for goal more when slightly behind
Understandable kicking for touch trailing by a lot but just behind I think they should kick for goal much more
Rather then the ai and player spamming handoffs to make ground, there should be more dominant carries in the game, forwards making 2-3m in contact, this could be affected by the strength stat and if the attacker/defender is a forward or back.
Also an option for the forwards to pick and go rather than the scrum half passing from the ruck would be good to if it could be toggled on and off., and could be used when trying to drive over the tryline.
I think RLL4 is actually really balanced in that way. AI and user have to use all the different functions situationally and depending on player skills.
It’s passing mechanic is also pretty decent too. It’s offloading mechanic too, with timing, player skills and tackle type all relevant.
Been playing it a lot more recently after getting frustrated with this game (though I’m still dipping in and out) and it is just quite good. Gives me faith that we will get there eventually.
Possibly take inspiration from their set plays and try scoring animations too? Being able to dive and put the ball down normally is quite nice, with risks for diving too early
Was this in career only? It is great see this
So much has been said, reported and especially repeated.
Now, since a picture is usually worth a thousand words, let me add a few basic things, because we’re still hoping to see in Rugby 25 what is seen in real rugby, nothing less and nothing more.
kicking game, kicks kicks kicks, by AI too
correct positioning, patterns and running lines
cross kicking and other set plays
Correct foul calling (stop absurd off sides)
Other ways than diving to score a try
Mud and rain
Realistic rucking system (and box kicking, caterpillars etc)…
… and jackals, sure!
Less robotic lineouts (with fouls in air too)
More realistic mauls, with scoring and collapsing
Air collisions
Yellow, bunker, red…
Sin bin and subs
I apologise for forgetting so much more…
Many thanks to the development team and good work. We have faith in you!
I’m noticing on hard and medium difficulty when the scrum half looks to attempt a box kick during the ruck, more often than not the kick is getting blocked and beaten down by the opponents.
@JNT_BA any chance you could pass this on to the team to have a look at please.
Easy win here
Can we organise all the comps, teams etc alphabetically, and have the stadium default to the home side when setting up a match plis 
thanks!

Small bug while playing the Career.
Currently doing the RWC in 2027 with France. There is an instant crash when clicking “Auto Generate” the lineup, for every games of France.
In the same save, it is not crashing when doing this for the Club I’m managing in parallel.
Cheers
Hmmm interesting let the support team know and they’ll grab the save and look into it.
Hi @JNT_BA been playing a bit this morning on xbox version on hard and I just got seven bump offs in a row so got to I think it is more something to do with the timing on your bump offs not fend bump off so guys must just check their timing on that one also noticed the the penalties when sometimes doing a forward pass you will get a penalty against you for offside which only should be a scrum
Kick to touch penalties is always a short lineout and also noticed I had no scrums in the game not every ball is supposed to go to hand atleast 5 - 6 knock ons in a game atleast not every ball goes to hand also wanted to ask about clermont and peripignan they said they did visuals and player photogrammetry but whn I enter those squads the players doesnt appear ander manage squad only player likeness to come in future updates is that correct?
Also noticed the Goal kicking that botched goal kicks are back where the ball only travels like 1 meter
Hey @JNT_BA
Playing on hardest/PS5 Miami Sharks vs Chicago Hounds.
I got an advantage but noticed it still says “adv” next to me team name on the score bug even after I scored a try.
Also, winning 45-0 on hardest at the start of the second half.
I did just play a game as Stade Francais and lost to Clermont 35-28 also on hardest. It seems like if you figure out how to offload at the right time you can figure out how to easily beat the AI defense. Which is what led me to now win this second game.
How do you do bump-off? Impossible for me on Xbox…
Just as a side note from all the comments. You may be reading a little too much into me looking at fending for defensive options like this is the only thing that effects difficulty. It’s just one thing noted from those that play on lower difficulties that they are seeing a lot. That’s not the only thing that changes with difficulty.
Carrying on from that, and this is just my opinion, as a totally AI v AI player you definitely notice difference’s with the AI depending what difficulty you have the game set to.
At the moment I am having some really good matches with some varying differences in gameplay between the same teams using different difficulty settings.
