Xbox patch is out, just downloaded it on my console. Xbox One build (not Series S/X) now at v1.0.3423 - reboot your console and start the game again, should prompt you to download a 700mb ish update.

I played now my first match after the latest update and I had a very good and intense game
I was playing France vs Ireland hardest difficulty 7 min
I was France and it was an good game the AI actually playing good rugby they kicking way more to win field like box kick or 50/22 that they do very good kicking way more .. so Ireland was leading the game 15-7 and I made a comeback to lead the game 17-15 at the end soo onlybfew min left and then I was shocked wat happend in the 80th min Ireland AI was on attack and I was defending my best and suddenly the AI decided the fly half to take a drop goal and win the game so they did it the AI actually took a drop goal and won me 18-17 at the end 
So just want to say its getting there I know still alot a work but I actually enjoyed it @JNT_BA

Please BIG ANT the defensive placement of the AI has become too easy, we can almost cross the field without being tackled the AI runs next to it or does not fill the holes, can you for the next updates solve this problem in order to have a great challenge in very difficult mode and to be able to have fun to pass the lines and score tries after 2 passes and that the closest players tackle us instead of running next to
Quick note, AI v AI attacking team completed a 50/22. First one Iāve ever seen. They then scored from the resulting line out.
Iām noticing a marked increase in the kicking game including some good box kicking.
Good improvements imo. Iām on PS5 btw and I got the update earlier. A step in the right direction for the AI imo.
Keep at it BA 
Edit: Knock ons are clearly still not registering as Iāve seen a player clearly drop the ball forward and play has been allowed to carry on.

We know the game is far from finished but this is the best itās been since April and very playable, even fun. If this game had released like this in Feb, Big Ant would have not tarnished their reputation.
Give us sliders, roster customization, pitch markings, full competition options and call it a day.
ONE IMPORTANT URGENT FIX @JNT_BA user kicking needs to be changed urgently as I canāt do the same distance Punt the CPU does. Hotfix?

There will be no hot fixes for anything this weekend, while we hear what people thought of this weekās update as the weekend has the most feedback.
So letās talk about the future.
Some changes have already been prepped for next week. Some QOL changes and some long standing requests. Teams editing will not be in there. While yes it is still planned it will not be soon as that requires lots of work to work this unfortunately is more complicated than āunlock itā this will be a longer term change.
So what have I been looking at and what has been worked on. Now these are not on a time frame but conversion kicks are getting some updates to how we give visual feedback and some of the mechanics, Iāve seen all the flub kicks and people really not understanding why. Scrums are being looked at while will not be getting a āfull overhaulā from the ground up but will be getting some updates again to show what actually happens, yes I see all the times people just get into them and go

Hi Team,
Patch Feedback. PS5 Coach Career
Ai kicking a lot more for field position. Great to see.
Major issue I have Identified is itās hard to get any control of your Fullback when defending or putting him in field position if you think the Ai is going to kick downfield. Even when Ai makes a line break in some instances I canāt get control of the Fullback even when pressing Buttons.
Also the Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final in Coach Career shows Top 14 and reference to it being played at Stade De France. This match was at Waikato Chiefs Stadium in NZ. Thanks
Also the Referee making bizarre āHeld Upā decisions when the ball is grounded in the in goal areas. This occurred twice in a 5 min period.

I too find the game very enjoyable today compared to its release in February. Even if itās slow, as long as there are updates made, itās great as long as the game evolves in a nonsensical way. Itās a shame because the Steam rating doesnāt represent the quality of the game, as it deserves better. I enjoy the game. For me, the urgent needs are:
The AI āāshould no longer break tackles automatically.
The step and 360 should be improved because they are unusable.
Change the penalty conversion system
Add more penalties
Increase the power of the kicking game.
Thank you and keep it up, Big Ant. We have the best rugby game today, but we can do even better.

@JNT_BA thanks for this feedback, I think this is what we as the community were looking for, BA communicating with us and sharing what is being worked on, and what is being planned. Please do not stop with the communication, even if you cannot disclose everything.
I also feel the update was positive, there are still major general bugs, which everyone has pointed out.
I would be very happy if the current mechanics with issues can be addressed and fixed, thereafter new additions can be looked at. Explaining some of the mechanics and what needs to happen will also help alot. For example the rucks, if you do the tutorials it seems straight forward, but in a game, there is no logic behind it, and it does not work as intended. I wont go to in details, as this has been mentioned by alot of players, the ruck system needs to make logical sense. Hopefully rucks will be relooked and tweaked very soon. Glad to hear scrums are getting some attention, mauls also need to get attention, balls get stuck in the mauls 8 out of 10 times, and it should feel more like a maul where it can be turned and actually get collapsed will really make it feel true to the game.
Then some smaller mechanics that needs tweaking, the Punt kick in the tutorial work great, but in game you do not get the distance or time to do a punt kick in general play, bringing in a trajectory arc like you have for the box kicks will also be welcomed. The held up over the try line, also needs to be changed again, so that you can score even if you get tackled, maybe a button for the defending player should be implemented to hold up the player or to try and get between the ball and the ground. The TMO reviews clearly shows the ball being downed, but then gets called Held Up.
Addition in future: Lineouts, if you can add more to lineouts, like fake jumping or moving the lineout, not sure what you can do at this point. Then setplays or just the options to changing the running lines from scrums, rucks and mauls would be great.
I have new hope and looking forward to next weekās patch.

Hello BA Team,
Pick and go with the scrum-half (or whoever is playing that role) from the ruck is not allowed when attacking to the right in the side camera view. It is allowed when attacking to the left.
This has been the case for the last two patches. At least on PS5; I donāt know if it works on other platforms.
Thanks.

Not sure if this has been flagged already, but since yesterday, trying to hold on at the breakdown renders your forwards unable to enter the ruck (PS5)
HI - Please help - the game goes directly to France vs Aus - i can not choose anythin - like career mode or anything

No mate, I donāt play online, the one time I tried it was a farce. It used to work occasionally when I was completely isolated, though at times the opposition would steal the ball immediately anyway! Now, though, it just seems to freak the game out.

Same on xbox, and I donāt know if its just the side view
@Soulartist23 yeah itās completely against rugby rules and imo looks a bit odd in game as the player releases and then pulls it back into the ruck. My suggestion was that you should have to press a button after being tackled to release the ball. You either delay pressing it to allow your support to arrive and ruck or press it immediately for quick ball and to avoid a penalty. Pressing it too late would result in a holding on penalty or the opposition getting a jackal chance.

A few thoughts on the update after playing 2 games (PS5) on hardest.
Leicester 29-24 Bath (Golden point), 7min halves. Bath kicked a pen for offside, but did also take a very strange tap and go instead of 3pts early in the match. I scored a drop goal for only the 2nd time as Iād run out of attacking momentum.
Leicester 14-3 Bath, 5min halves. It was 0-0 just before half time and bath scored a drop goal, first Iāve seen from the AI.
Box kicking: brilliant change, much better graphic and implementation. Please keep as it is.
AI kicking: great improvement, the AI nailed several 50:22s against me, arguably too easily, but it did mean that I needed to be more carefully about retaining possession by committing more numbers to rucks which made my attacking options harder.
Now that the AI has this way of gaining territory (rather than constantly breaking tackles) I think the handoff succeed should be reduced.
The AI has started box kicking more too, which has added more realism to the flow of the game.
AI passing: much more passing in open play which is good, although some offloads are unbelievable.
Fatigue: this is quite good now, my and AI players need to and are being replaced towards the end of matches due to stamina. For some reason props seem to have the most stamina remaining though, and wingers and fly halves always run out, perhaps due to being in possession and sprinting more.
Offsite penalties: on a couple of occasions Iāve been penalised for offside when intercepting an offload even through the ruck hadnāt formed.
Scrums: not sure whatās going on here, I always concede a penalty.
Goal kicking: Iām not experiencing any issues, goal kicking is very easy.
Knock-ons: same feedback as everyone else, referee calling it but not stopping play.
Glitch: once before a line out the ball was flashing invisible and I had some haptic feedback.
Australia womenās team causing game to crash still happening. Wales women logo still wrong.
Great work overall and looking forward to more progress. Thanks for setting out the direction.

Iāve just had a game, a good one bear in mind, but I had a scenario whereby the referee blew his whistle for a āknock on no advantageā. However, the game didnāt stop for a scrum and instead carried on as though nothing happened.
There is something clearly wrong with the infringement/penalty system which the devs need to look at.
This is on PS5, not sure how other platforms are encountering this issue.
I thought Iād let you guys know

Sheāll be right mate. Itās part of the normal process while the game is installing. Once itās fully installed you will get to the main menus and be able to look everything up for the game. Itās just a compulsory introduction match. You just have to wait till the game is fully installed even if you finish the match.
