Have they held back releasing the patch cause of issues till tomorrow for PS5? Cus nothing come dow as yet
I hope this is still early days because I think there is potential here if they keep going
Thanks Shawn, yes I miss read the note in the patch notes thread cheers mate
Tomorrow is a day off in France, I hope you didnât expect someone from Nacon to validate the patch @JNT_BA #Mole
Patch is out on Steam
Out on PS5 this morning
Just tested one match. Always hard to win a ruck even if youâre the first to contest. Kicking in the game is fixed. Fend, and offload seems to be the same. But I just tested quickly.
Not sure where you are but seems to be early afternoon ish in the UK (so gmt time zone)
Also just played a few games on PS5 HARDEST, and loving the patch competitive gameplay , teams standing closer in Lineout, AI Took a Mark, just need a few more penalties for the User but tts getting there imo thanks BA
Any sugn of proper attcking shape yet ? Or do the players still line up at random and bunch around the ruck ?
Are the AI kicking more? Have you managed a mark?
Hello, team:
PS5.
The image now looks shaky during games. Before this last patch image during games was smooth.
Kicking arenât fixed.
Since you took away âscootâ you canât play off the ruck with your scrum-half when attacking toward the right side in side-camera. You can when you attack toward the left side.
Thanks
Hello Big Aunty !!!
Back to the basics, over promess and under deliver, classic panthousery !!!
Old bugs are back, like when passing the ball receiver stutter jumps and stops before running again. Definitely kills the flow.
Still plenty of rucks with one or two defenders before support and still not being able to steal the ball.
Of course mauls and lineouts are still awful. What about close try line defense ? Set plays ? Proper running ? Player names shown ingame ?
Cheers !
Just played latest patch.
PS5
Game not smooth anymore. Seems jittery.
Open play kicking does not seem to be fixed.
Passing still not fun because of player positioning being too far behind.
Line out still rubbish , scrum still broken.
AI slightly better. Some things have improved but still not there yet.
Panthousery is a great way to describe the updates
Not even going to give it a try , i am still enjoying my RC4, its an old game but still the best for me and its all we have at this moment !!!
Only positive surprise: there is now a circle showing where the ball is landing after a kick by the AI.
It is true that kicks to touch after a penalty are now with the right foot for right footed players. And you cant dive to score a try from miles away, which is good.
Aside from that, kicks are not fixed, player positioning still the same,
And advantage on offsides and knock-ons seems to not be working now. My player knocked a ball after a kick off, and the advantage was given apparently to my team beacuse I could keep playing.
See you guys next wednesday.
I dont understand how things are going backwards? Especially given the patch was delayed, did they not see any of the issues pointed out above?
Break something
Remove it
Reinstate it
Claim progress.
The big ant way
Added Play As Team option
Thatâs cool
Added Call For âMarkâ button
Never had the opportunity, the AI never kicked in the area or never had a player in the good position to catch the ball
Improved Kicking
Up-and-under are improved. Not sure about general kicking though, it still looks broken.
Balanced Ruck Turnovers
Still a nonsense to me, with players waiting next to the ruck instead of securing the ball or trying to steal it. Or not stealing it whereas my guys are here first etcâŚ
Balanced Dive Try Distance
Itâs maybe too effective now, I didnât manage to dive before the try line, I had to wait to cross it before diving. Probably to be improved
Balanced Run Down Tackles
I donât know
Corrected Offside Calls
Less incorrect offside calls imo. Never had offside advantage.
Corrected Kicking Foot
Didnât check
Improved Stability
I had a crash. I wonât say when, itâs not my job to find bugs
Others / Few comments
The ref saying âHeld Upâ before the guy is being held up
The âplayer injuredâ message is showing before the player is tackled
The ref saying high tackle before the tackle etcâŚ
Knowing that the counter ruck animation will happen in advance etcâŚ
Not a big deal, but killing the realism and immersion
It probably has been said a long time ago, but would be cool to have the possibility to select different kickers in the lineup (one for goals, one for kick-off and kick to touch etcâŚ)
Player positioning is still pants
First action : Loopy pass ! And globally, still not a fan of the passes (loopy, laser, too behind etc, players stopping before catching the ballâŚ)
Quick penalty for R92. The positions of both teams⌠Come onâŚ
When Patch ?
When Gripsocks ?
When good positioning ?
When tactics ?
When Union ?
When end of Early Access ?
@Valhalla_Vagabond it looks âbetterâ for some things and worse for others. It is still pants
