Can someone please tell me the dummy pass input controls?
You would lose multiple rucks if you donāt observe where your forwards are on the pitch. I would make sure I play my game around where my forwards are situated. If one just pass,pass,pass all the time you will get isolated and be turned over. Currently it organizes the game between forwards and backs and I like that. butā¦that said, backs do join rucks occasionally I agree.More likely out on the wings when one plays out to the wings and thereās no forward there quick enough, but not more than one back at a time. We saw multiple backs join the ruck in previous updates that disrupted the flow of the backline,taking over the role of the forwards main job, and thatās to secure possession
Has support lines been improved? Players not way behind ball carrier.

People need to move on from their nostalgia for Rugby 06 and Rugby 08. Rugby Challenge 1-4 was made with passion by rugby union fans, yet it faced constant criticism. It was a great series with so much potential but stopped making rugby games due to this exact reason (constant criticism). Letās support BA and help them create the best rugby game possible!

Okā¦Iāll second your comment regarding backs should be allowed to join ruck. however I would like them to consider it carefully, so that we donāt get next weekās update and they join excessively again, so please BA, modern rugbyā¦backs do join rucks but not 3 at a time and not at the cost of a good opperating backline. More specificā¦ less the flyhalf, definitely not the scrumhalf, more the centres and little less the wings because we would like them situated on the left and right touchline where they belong

There are quite a few comments where people are stating that in modern rugby backs enter rucks when they are the closest player to the ruck.
This is true but a lot of teams do their very best not to have the 10 in them, and if they can avoid it, the 9 and possibly the 15.
I think when people were asking not to have so many backs in the rucks, they generally seemed ok with the 11 12 13 & 14 being in there if necessary.
Of course whenever there is a situation that a key back like a 10 ends up in a ruck then the appropriate backup player comes into that receiving position, in the case of a 10, then that would usually be 12 or 15.
I appreciate what Big Ant are trying to do here, as they are trying to bring a cohesive structure to the game rather than anyone in any old position as it has been broadly up to now. Iām sure if necessary there could be still some refinements to which players enter rucks in subsequent patches.
We need to remember how immensely complicated rugby is compared to something like rugby league which has less variables in relation to where players can be involved. In rugby league itās a lot easier to program as it is just a repetitive series of runs and tackles and players resuming their formation. Rucks make things incredibly difficult for programming and I do think overall they are attempting to get the balance right.

Now nowā¦dont liešthe AI do pass a lot more, at least on PCās update. However,most of the time the first reciever is getting the ball too deep,causing the backline to stall. Whenever(happens very rarely)they do receive the ball in the right position, they do make plenty of ground and get some decent 2, 3 passes away

LOL, donāt be silly, Iām a GOAT in this game. Itās mainly because people donāt embrace and allow the AI to play as well, just want to go bang bang, try try try all the time, give the AI some gametime my man, youād be surprised what they can do with some continued possession
The no gifs are killing me, Iāve disabled them for a little, while things calm down in the afl area.

It wouldnāt be the first rugby game ever that I would allow the AI to roam freely and gift possession and territory, at least BA is still actively engaging and trying to improve. Yes the AI SUCKS, we all know that but people saying the game is unplayable and the AI donāt pass is lying through their teeth.

Speaking of random bugs has anyone seen this bug.
When the AI makes an injury substitution and the replacement comes on, the replacement/s just float around the field and donāt do anything, like for example here in my GIF look at the player just jogging around infront of the kicker, when the AI makes 2 substitutions the 2 players just walk Infront of the kicker at kick offs and the ball ends up smacking into them lol.
Comical but thought Iād show you @JNT_BA to report it.
Just downloaded todayās update on PS5 and so far canāt see any changes to last weekās, Any patch notes floating around?

@JNT_BA any idea if the presentation team is still working on the game? Still waiting for advertising in stadiums and substitution cutscenes.

Again league is so much less complicated than union.With the rest, I agree, they can do better, and should do be better, once they sort out player positioning the passing should get better

Itās something Iām bringing up constantly I donāt like empty feeling in stadiums and itās something I really want to get sorted as soon as we can. Unfortunately with most branding things every stakeholder has to sign off on it. But much like you guys I want them filled in as much as possible.
