I few issues with the latest patch:
1.Ball stuck in rucks and mauls
2.Players unable to pick up a loose ball after a kick(not always)mostly towards the sideline
I know this was a issue before but with more kicking happening, more obvious to see
3.I know contest for high ball never worked but now don’t even display anymore.Would be great if contest in the air actually worked now since we have a proper up and under and box kick…
4.Sometimes when receiving the ball, my player stands dead still before starting to move again, happened with AI as well.
5.AI seems worse in defence. I know there’s a issue with defenders moving a away from the attack, but it seems a lot easier to get pass AI now
6.Finding my players bunched up again at the ruck causing my passes to go to the wrong players and not the selected one’s
I would add to that that the AI always break the first tackle no matter what button I push. Also my last game, the AI did succed in at least 7 50/22… Sometimes my player was unable to pick up the ball and instead pushing it to touch
Can anyone tell me what happened to the guy that created players that are not in the game - he had he’s own topic. Can’t find it
Back to glaring issues not being noticed before a patch is released then 
. Hopefully theres a hotfix before it rolls out any further to consoles
Was really hoping the AI breaking the first tackle every time would be sorted.
This is a deal breaker for me.
Cheers
Just a little bit of positif :
it seems more fluid, and the box kicking is way better.
Hotfix for ball stuck in the ruck before the weekend please!
Already that the AI even by breaking the first tackle is not too dangerous if they remove it my god boredom
I’m looking for a game with realistic defence and balanced gameplay, that requires skill, timing and good strategy, not a team covering 100m in 3 phases. I need my challenge to come from smart play, not broken mechanics.
Completely agree with you but for the moment we are far from being there and today to have fun a little bit the AI must be like this
If finding a high consistency of AI getting the ball stuck in the ruck, when you commit 5 players in to the ruck and just press and hold X (on the xbox controller) to steal it. As long as you have the 5 in and just hold it down, frequently having the AI not play it. I also lose the option to remove players from the ruck, instead of removing them with A, it seems to just cycle who on my team is being selected in the ruck.
Im guessing because you rush the 5 players in, the AI attempts to “hold on to the ball” and just refuses to let go. But would only be a guess, as I dont know why that stops me being able to remove my own players from the ruck.
It can also be tripped by Scrum Half beating the first 3 players to the ruck. Ive had incidents where a player arriving after the scrum half, will join the ruck, and the collision means in doing so pushes the scrum half model in to the middle of the ruck and they get stuck there. Also had it when if the scrum half arrives first and you use box kick quickly. Players will arrive after and your scrum half gets nudged, and you get stuck just moving the box kick trajectory line around cant use the ball.
Still no patch on Xbox
There will eventually be sliders that will provide full customisation, including the success rate of fends and bump-offs, but they will only add that at the end. At the same time, when sliders are introduced, we can all know that it is basically the final version of the game.
is this known for sure? because this would make the game so so much better.
How do you know there will be sliders?
When is xbox getting it?
I’ve asked for a stall on the console versions while we look into this ruck issue. We hope to have an update on this as early as possible tomorrow.
Yep these were my findings as well.
This was discussed before and I believe it was confirmed, but not until the game is in a suitable place. Their other games have sliders as well
Mmmmh I might have the mole edition, played for about 1 hour and didn’t have the ruck issue all mentioned.
