Even the ex pros know the games a disaster

I got my copy of this today and am really impressed with all the teams/stadiums etc but not with the gameplay 
. I know most on here are saying the same thing but, I am relatively new to rugby gaming so really need basic instructions. During the scrum tutorial, I canāt even win the blooming scrum and have to keep re-doing the tutorial because the prompts are too confusing, āpress L2/R2 to bind when bar is fullā, āX to hookā (thatās actually straightforward), then again āL2/R2 when bar is fullā, eh what bar 
?? The ruck and trying to steal is as complicated because I get told to do 3 things, triangle to tackle contest; square to bind or something like that and circle to steal. So what the hell am I supposed to press!!
Another thing is, in career mode the transfer window isnāt open even though Iām on second game of season but I will accept that as I presume the window is closed . I can add players to the watch list though so thatās something. Finally, looking for a player is far too advanced imho, I donāt think we need to be looking for players based on their age, the position or club their at should be enough imho.
I am currently on a career as Gloucester but wonāt be playing that much until I can at least win a blooming turnover! Can I ask if these new patches such as Tuesdayās will work automatically when theyāre complete or will I have to restart the career in order for them to be active??
I also believe we WILL get a good rugby game very soon and when it is up to scratch, I certainly will enjoy playing hours of it in order to have a successful career in career mode, I plan on staying at Glos most of the career as well as hoping Scotland job becomes available 
.
Keep up the good work guys, I have every faith in you

Anyone know if you they have a ball indicator when they kick down field, Iām running around like a headless chook trying to guess where itās landing ?
Are you serious, the game doesnāt work lol. I think weāre entitled to negativity mate.
So just received an Email form the studios so fair play they are reaching out . Says they launched the patch yesterday to improve stability and stop crashes in tutorial . They have stopped the crashes in tutorial but they havenāt addressed the crashes mid match , I havenāt been able to complete a match yet on PS5 !! Replied to them saying so . If people keep raising tickets it looks like they will address issues .

Big Ant.
After playing some more games and the shock of disappointment somewhat relieving, I have realised this game has soo much potential!!
Fix the support lines and passing and this game will be heaps of fun. The support player should not stop momentum on the pass! This kills all The chance of an awesome play.
Tackling seems great, rucks are better than expected.
Some quick tweaks on passing/support player lines and continuity with make this game completely playable.
Iām actually excited for how good BIGANT could have this game by the next world cup.
FIX THE PASSING AND SUPPORT PLAY NOW.
PLEASE

Has anyone experienced any injuries in career mode?
Iām playing on extreme injuries and havenāt had one yet
Iāve had a few players sited for dangerous tackles after the game after having no card in game which Iām guessing is from AFL as they donāt have in game cards
Donāt get me wrong I like the feature but just feel like they should be carded in game too

Being cited for high tackles after games is accurate for Union believe it or not, as well as cards on field. Players can get pinged for dangerous acts by citing commissioners up to 48 hours after a game, one of the ways they enforce player bans for red cards etc.

You know better than to take anything at face value at this stage Andy! Come on
Iām always very optimistic with Big Ant games and have supported this company for the best part of 15 years, but over the last 5 or so years their standard of game upon release has dropped right off.
I have Rugby 25, and while there are some very good moments, there is instability and clunky pass link ups etc. it does make me think that this game is still incomplete.
Itās hard not to compare this to AFL 23ās release, which released in a similar state. Big Ant claimed that they accidentally released the wrong version of the game and would patch to fix. I hope this isnāt the case here.
On a more positive note Tiebreak released in similar fashion, however they have patched and recovered that game to just about be their best title ever.

BA the game was actually fun to play before the day one patch on ps5, so can we please moving forward with updates please make sure before it gets pushed out that AI can atleast pass more than just the first receiver because at least game is more fun to play with AI passing ball around trying to find the gaps, because playing a ruck simulator is boring.
People might have not been so harsh on this game if the AI was atleast doing something more than just pass get tackled backwards ruck on repeat.
Also Played a few games now donāt see any āgameplay improvementā still feels exactly the same

This is interesting. Do you need to plea Guilty or Not Guilty with the cited players ? Do they get suspensions ?
I agree we need to see Red or Yellow Cards if players are to be cited after a match for their tackles. Good to hear they are trying to implement this gameplay.

Yeah thereās 3 options
In doing this from memory so might be slightly off
Plea guilty and accept full ban
Challenge and you can get off or a larger ban
Or ask for mitigation and you have a chance to lower the ban
And the player is then out of selection, really cool feature, I can imagine some cool scenarios will arrive when your starting 10 might get a ban just before finals and you can either risk getting him back in time or subsequently have him miss all the finals

Rucks has been made worst with āimproved gameplayā now everytime I do a pushover my players doesnāt pick the ball up but AI team does 
Thatās great. Really glad they have put this in the game.
Definitely adds more challenges to squad management during a season or finals. Exciting. I havenāt had time yet to try out the coach career properly.
I read on the forum and on the Discord that several people had crashes. I didnāt have any crash since the Official Launch untilā¦ nowā¦ (Playing on Steam)
I was doing the Career Mode, 2nd Season, did some transfers and went through the different leaderboards, simulating games, etcā¦ And when I tried to simulate a game, it crashed.
I canāt access anymore to this saved Career ā Instant crash of the game. Tried at least 5 times. Have to start again. Itās pants.
PS: When Gripsocks ?
